0:00:04 > 0:00:08'These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11'Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:11 > 0:00:15'arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

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

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33You might recognise them as they've won

0:00:33 > 0:00:36some of Britain's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today

0:00:39 > 0:00:42are Leithal Thinkers. This team of colleagues

0:00:42 > 0:00:46all work for the same advertising agency in Leith. Let's meet them.

0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hi, my name's Andrew, I'm 24 and I'm an assistant project manager.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, my name's Neil, I'm 44 and I'm an account planner.

0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hi, my name's Kenny, I'm 31 and I'm a senior advertising planner.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Hi, my name's Chris, I'm 25 and I'm an art director.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm David, I'm 29 and I'm a copy writer.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07Welcome, Leithal Thinkers. That team name I'm loving.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10It shows why you're in advertising! It's what you're paid for!

0:01:10 > 0:01:13How long did it take you to think that up? 30, 40 seconds?

0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Less than that. About ten. - Very nice indeed.

0:01:16 > 0:01:21A play on Leith there. But are you in the creative end of it?

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Some of you must be. You're given a brief.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26How do you then go about thinking up...

0:01:26 > 0:01:30They want something novel, something innovative.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Do you kick a few ideas around? - It's a dark art, isn't it?

0:01:34 > 0:01:37I don't know if we want to give away all of our secrets.

0:01:37 > 0:01:43I think Chris and David, they are the creative team

0:01:43 > 0:01:45so they come up with the ideas.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48We just sit around drinking tea all day

0:01:48 > 0:01:51and then something will pop up out of nowhere and that's it.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53OK, then, let's play the Eggheads today.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Every day there's £1,000 cash up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:56 > 0:02:01If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, that rolls over to the next show.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Leithal Thinkers, the Eggheads have won just the last two games.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08That means £3,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12Our first head-to-head battle today is on the subject of Geography.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Who'd like to play this?

0:02:15 > 0:02:18It's the opening round, so anyone can play.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20- What do you think? - Resident geographer?

0:02:20 > 0:02:23I did do a geography degree, so...

0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Yes.- ..I think I'll take them on.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29- David has a degree in geography, so...- It's human geography, so...

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Very good. Bit of pressure though, David.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36- Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?- Erm...

0:02:36 > 0:02:40Allegedly, CJ isn't very good at geography.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43- I've heard he's good at American geography.- Yeah.

0:02:43 > 0:02:47Hopefully there's no American geography questions. I'll take CJ.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50OK, David playing CJ in this opening round. Geography it is.

0:02:50 > 0:02:55Could I ask you both to take your positions in the question room

0:02:55 > 0:02:58to make sure you can't confer?

0:02:58 > 0:03:02- So, David, you're a copy writer.- I am, yes.- You come up with the words.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05So should we hold you responsible for this team title?

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Erm, probably not, no.

0:03:07 > 0:03:13It actually comes from... There's a planning part of the agency

0:03:13 > 0:03:15and I think they came up with it themselves

0:03:15 > 0:03:19- so you can blame the planners for that one.- And what about geography?

0:03:19 > 0:03:22There are many different kinds of geography.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25- You got a degree in it. - A long time ago.

0:03:25 > 0:03:30Yeah, I was one of these people, I didn't know what I wanted to do,

0:03:30 > 0:03:34so I just fell into geography and fell back out of it after uni.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37- And into advertising. - Yeah. A few years down the line.

0:03:37 > 0:03:41OK. Try to remember some of that teenage geography.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Do you want to go first or second? - First, please.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Good luck, David. First question. What type of geographical feature

0:03:50 > 0:03:54is the tourist destination of Ko Samui in Thailand?

0:03:56 > 0:03:59Erm, well, I've never been to Thailand, but I've been to Malaysia

0:03:59 > 0:04:05and I think Ko Samui is an island. So I'll go for island.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07OK. That's the right answer. Well done.

0:04:07 > 0:04:12CJ, Patagonia is a region of South America

0:04:12 > 0:04:14covering part of Argentina and which other country?

0:04:17 > 0:04:20I think it covers part of Chile, as well.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22It does. Chile is correct. Good start for you both.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25And David, second question.

0:04:25 > 0:04:29Which body of water is closest to the Muslim holy city of Mecca?

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Erm, I have to say, I'm not too sure about this one.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Erm... Mecca. Hm.

0:04:38 > 0:04:43I think... I have to say, it's going to be a complete guess,

0:04:43 > 0:04:47but I'm going to go for the Persian Gulf

0:04:47 > 0:04:50just cos of where I think it might be in the world.

0:04:50 > 0:04:55OK, Persian Gulf for Mecca, the body of water closest to Mecca.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59- It's not, you know? CJ will know. - I'll go for the Red Sea.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03Yes. We narrowed it down, but I'm sure you would've gone for Red Sea.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07A chance for the lead with this one, CJ.

0:05:07 > 0:05:11Which county in the Republic of Ireland is the furthest south?

0:05:13 > 0:05:16It's Cork.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19- It's not England, so it's Cork.- Ah, yes, OK. Getting close to the UK,

0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Pat?- Yes.- Of course it is.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25Cork furthest south in the Republic of Ireland.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28So you have that lead, and it means you need to get this, David.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30The US state of Ohio

0:05:30 > 0:05:34shares much of its northern border with which of the great lakes?

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Erm... Hm.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43- This is one CJ would've enjoyed. - He likes his American geography.

0:05:43 > 0:05:49Erm, Ohio. I know Ohio is not too far from Chicago,

0:05:49 > 0:05:51or Illinois,

0:05:51 > 0:05:56and I think Lake Michigan, Chicago is on the banks of Lake Michigan,

0:05:56 > 0:05:59- so I'm going to plump for Lake Michigan.- OK.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03Ohio and Illinois, beside each other

0:06:03 > 0:06:07and you're going for Lake Michigan. It's not, no.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10- CJ will tell us.- I'd have gone for Erie.- It is Lake Erie.

0:06:10 > 0:06:14Of the five questions we asked, CJ knew five of the answers.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17You didn't know the ones that were necessary, David.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21It means the round is over. CJ is in the final round.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Please come back and join your teams.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27So, as it stands, Leithal Thinkers have lost one brain

0:06:27 > 0:06:30from the final round. The Eggheads are all there.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Our next head-to-head coming up is History.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37- Who'd like to play this? - That's a difficult one.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40I don't know. You did say history.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44- I did say history. - You're going to have to do it.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47- OK, I'll have to take it on myself. - Holding you to your word!

0:06:47 > 0:06:50This was a discussion you had earlier.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52It was a bad decision to pick history.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54You're trying to forget it but they wouldn't.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58Andrew's going to play. Pick an Egghead. Can't be CJ.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Who do you reckon?- Erm...- Pot luck.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04They all look like they've got a bit of history.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08- Pat maybe?- What do you think? Lucky dip.- I'll go for Pat.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11Pat on history. OK. Never lost.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Good. There's always a first. THEY LAUGH

0:07:14 > 0:07:18Let's have Andrew and Pat into the question room, please.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23OK, Andrew, history.

0:07:23 > 0:07:28You were talking big before the round with your team mates.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Why did you think you might be good at history?

0:07:31 > 0:07:34I was quite strong in school.

0:07:34 > 0:07:39Almost decided to study it at university, but chose advertising.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43To be honest, I think this was what they call taking one for the team.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47- We'll see how it goes. - We will. OK, playing Pat.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Do you want to go first or second? - I think I'll go first.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55All right, Andrew, your first question.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58What is the name of the financial exchange system

0:07:58 > 0:08:01put into operation in Britain in 1821

0:08:01 > 0:08:05and from which the country finally withdrew 110 years later?

0:08:09 > 0:08:13Er... I'm not really sure, to be honest.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Unsurprisingly.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20I think it's more going to be a stab in the dark. I'll try Gold Standard.

0:08:20 > 0:08:24Gold Standard. It is Gold Standard, yes. Well done.

0:08:24 > 0:08:29And Pat, Gold Standard was like an exchange rate mechanism, really.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33They tied the value of the currency strictly to reserves of bullion.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36I think Winston Churchill suffered a major reverse.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39I think he championed the Gold Standard

0:08:39 > 0:08:41and it sort of backfired on him.

0:08:41 > 0:08:46Well, got it there, Andrew. You're off the mark. Pat, your question.

0:08:46 > 0:08:51Which country granted Tunisia a full independence in 1956?

0:08:52 > 0:08:57Well, I don't think Spain had a big interest in North Africa.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Italy were certainly nearby.

0:08:59 > 0:09:04But Tunisia retains a French feel and I think it's France.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07France is the right answer, yes.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10Other Eggheads, we all know about the bitter war

0:09:10 > 0:09:15with Algeria for independence. Was there are similar violent campaign

0:09:15 > 0:09:18- or was it relatively peaceful? - Relatively peaceful

0:09:18 > 0:09:20in Tunisia, as it was in Morocco, as well.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Algeria was the one where things really went pear-shaped

0:09:23 > 0:09:27and it turned into an eight-year war.

0:09:27 > 0:09:32OK. France granted Tunisia full independence in 1956

0:09:32 > 0:09:35and a tick each on our Eggheads score board.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Andrew, your second question.

0:09:37 > 0:09:43Where did Sir Walter Raleigh spend the years 1603 to 1616?

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Erm...

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Not knowing much about this kind of period,

0:09:53 > 0:09:56er, I think...

0:09:58 > 0:10:00I think I'm going to try the Tower of London.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03There's not much reasoning behind it.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06- But I think we'll go for the Tower of London.- OK, Tower of London,

0:10:06 > 0:10:101603 to 1616, Sir Walter Raleigh, that's correct.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14And Pat will tell us the reasons why. You talked about this recently,

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Sir Walter Raleigh falling foul of the authorities

0:10:17 > 0:10:20- and ending up in the Tower. - Yes, he fell from grace

0:10:20 > 0:10:24- and he wrote The History Of The World which incarcerated.- Hm.

0:10:24 > 0:10:29OK, your next question, Pat. The Stamp Act of 1765

0:10:29 > 0:10:32was an attempt by Britain to raise much-needed revenue

0:10:32 > 0:10:36by imposing a tax on its commonest printed material

0:10:36 > 0:10:38in what part of the world?

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Well, I'm sure the British government would've been keen

0:10:43 > 0:10:46to raise revenue from every scrap of its far-flung empire.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50But I think the Stamp Act was one of the intolerable acts

0:10:50 > 0:10:54which caused such aggravation in the North American colonies

0:10:54 > 0:10:58and led to the Boston Tea Party. So I'll go for North America.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01North America and those taxes.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04Boston Tea Party, War of Independence. Yes, it is.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08It was stupid, because the only people who really cared about it

0:11:08 > 0:11:12were the wealthy, the educated, the newspaper editors,

0:11:12 > 0:11:14those who read them, and who did it hit the most?

0:11:14 > 0:11:18The newspaper editors. So obviously they rebelled against it

0:11:18 > 0:11:20and, as Pat said, mainly in Boston where it all started.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24Turned them all against them. All square. Going well, Andrew.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Get another one here and who knows what might happen?

0:11:27 > 0:11:32Operation Fork was the name given to the British invasion

0:11:32 > 0:11:35on the morning of 10th May 1940 of where?

0:11:39 > 0:11:44Well, in history, I consider that period to be my strong point.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46Erm...

0:11:47 > 0:11:51However, I'm a bit unsure on this.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54I've got an inkling with Sardinia.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58But, again, I'm only 60 percent sure,

0:11:58 > 0:12:01but I think I'll go with Sardinia.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04OK, Sardinia for Operation Fork. Pat?

0:12:04 > 0:12:07I have a faint recollection that there was an opportunist chap

0:12:07 > 0:12:12took power in Iceland and perhaps the British went in there.

0:12:12 > 0:12:17It is Iceland, yeah. On the date there, 10th May 1940,

0:12:17 > 0:12:20it was one of the earlier actions of the war.

0:12:20 > 0:12:25Yeah, it was just because of North Atlantic convoys,

0:12:25 > 0:12:28to deny that territory to the Germans.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31Coincidentally, that was exactly the same day

0:12:31 > 0:12:34- that the Germans invaded Holland, Belgium and France.- Uh-huh.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37Operation Fork there, the British invasion of Iceland.

0:12:37 > 0:12:42So a chance for Pat. The War of the Triple Alliance, which was waged

0:12:42 > 0:12:44from 1864 to 1870

0:12:44 > 0:12:49saw Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay unite to fight which country?

0:12:52 > 0:12:56Well, just thought of geographically,

0:12:56 > 0:13:00Paraguay fits the bill because it borders all three countries

0:13:00 > 0:13:03and neighbours are more prone to having domestics.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07And I think Paraguay has an unfortunate history

0:13:07 > 0:13:11of getting involved in enormously disadvantageous wars.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13So I'm not certain of this,

0:13:13 > 0:13:18but I have a feeling it's Paraguay, one of their rather lunatic wars.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20OK, going for Paraguay. Other Eggheads?

0:13:20 > 0:13:25- ALL: Yeah.- Yeah? OK, well, Paraguay is the right answer

0:13:25 > 0:13:29and it means you've just been denied a place in the final round, Andrew.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32Please come back and join your teams.

0:13:32 > 0:13:36The challengers have now lost two brains from the final round.

0:13:36 > 0:13:41The Eggheads are all still there. Next is Film and Television.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44This might suit one of you. Neil, Kenny or Chris?

0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Film and Television. - I am very happy to do that one.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51- Chris put himself forward, so Chris, you up for it?- Yep.

0:13:51 > 0:13:55Which Eggheads do you want? Daphne, Kevin or Judith?

0:13:55 > 0:13:58- What do you think?- Right.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Does Daphne look nervous? No.- Never! - THEY LAUGH

0:14:01 > 0:14:04- I think she winked. - I think we'll go for Daphne.- OK.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08It's going to be Daphne and Chris, then, playing Film and Television.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Please make your way to the question room.

0:14:11 > 0:14:15Chris, let's hope this round goes to plan for you.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18We need to get one of you through. Will it be you?

0:14:18 > 0:14:23- Do you want to go first or second? - Erm, first, I think.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Well, it's happening now. Here you go, first question.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32Which TV series started in 2001

0:14:32 > 0:14:34with Sarah Beeny as its presenter?

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Hm. Right, OK.

0:14:43 > 0:14:47By process of elimination, I think Grand Designs was Kevin McCloud.

0:14:47 > 0:14:53Location, Location is Kirsty and someone else. I can't remember.

0:14:53 > 0:14:58- I think it's Property Ladder. I'm going to go with that.- OK.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01The elimination route and got the right answer.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Yes, Property Ladder. OK, Daphne.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06"Protecting the earth from the scum of the universe"

0:15:06 > 0:15:10is the tagline to which film starring Will Smith?

0:15:14 > 0:15:17I think it can only be Men In Black.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Yeah. Good tagline, that.- Yeah.

0:15:20 > 0:15:24It's the right answer. Men In Black. Right.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Chris, second question.

0:15:26 > 0:15:30Which 1990 science fiction film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger

0:15:30 > 0:15:32is based on a Philip K Dick short story

0:15:32 > 0:15:36entitled We Can Remember It For You Wholesale?

0:15:41 > 0:15:43I'm not entirely sure.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48I mean, my first instinct is to match the word "remember"

0:15:48 > 0:15:52in the title of the short story to "recall" in Total Recall.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55Erm... Remember, recall.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58I don't...

0:15:58 > 0:16:00I think it's got the most complex plot to it,

0:16:00 > 0:16:04which is something which draws me to it, as well.

0:16:04 > 0:16:08Erm, I'm going to go with Total Recall.

0:16:08 > 0:16:12OK, the remember and the recall and the plot. It's the right answer.

0:16:12 > 0:16:17Total Recall. Let's see if Daphne has that with this one.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20What was the title of the pop music programme

0:16:20 > 0:16:24hosted by Frenchman Antoine de Caunes and shown on BBC2

0:16:24 > 0:16:28from 1989 to 1992?

0:16:32 > 0:16:34No idea!

0:16:34 > 0:16:37I haven't heard of any of them.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Erm...

0:16:41 > 0:16:45Oh, dear! I can't even pick up a clue.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Erm...

0:16:48 > 0:16:50Redondo.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54- No?- CJ looks a bit upset.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56- CJ?- It's Rapido.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59- Rapido. - Well, I told you I didn't know.

0:16:59 > 0:17:03Normally you say that and get it, but this time not.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06And a real chance now for the Leithal Thinkers.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10Chris, you go through to the final round with a correct answer here.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Which singer-songwriter had a cameo role as Tony Lacey

0:17:13 > 0:17:16in the 1977 film Annie Hall?

0:17:20 > 0:17:21Hm.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25That's a Woody Allen film.

0:17:30 > 0:17:34See, I've seen music videos for all three of them

0:17:34 > 0:17:39and I think Paul Simon and Billy Joel are a bit more animated in them

0:17:39 > 0:17:42so would maybe be suited to acting.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45So I'm going to eliminate Neil Sedaka straight away.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47Er...

0:17:49 > 0:17:51It's 50/50 for the other two.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54I'm going to go with Paul Simon.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57OK. Creating his own 50/50 there.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01Were you right to not think about Neil Sedaka? Yes, you were.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05Of the other two, Billy Joel and Paul Simon, you've got it.

0:18:05 > 0:18:09Paul Simon playing Tony Lacey a small cameo in Annie Hall.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12Well, you're in the final round, Chris. No place for you, Daphne.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Please come back and join your teams.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19It's looking a bit rosier for the Leithal Thinkers.

0:18:19 > 0:18:24They've knocked an Egghead out but two members have been eliminated.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27Our last subject before the final round is Music.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30Who'd like to play this? It's Neil or Kenny.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34- Kenny likes singing.- What? - Yeah, Kenny likes his music.

0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Would we like it?- Tactically, for the last round, we want to keep Neil.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41He's the strongest. So we'll go with Kenny.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44Kenny, you've got Judith or Kevin to choose from.

0:18:44 > 0:18:49I'm going to go for Kevin, try and take him out for the final.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53All right! You must be good at this. Kenny and Kevin,

0:18:53 > 0:18:56into the question room, please.

0:18:56 > 0:19:00Kenny, let's see if you can emulate Chris and get to the final round.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Do you want to go first or second? - I'd like to go first, please.

0:19:06 > 0:19:11OK, first music question coming up. On a musical score, what symbol,

0:19:11 > 0:19:15placed just to the right of a note, extends its length by a half?

0:19:19 > 0:19:23I'm not sure about this one. I don't read music.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27But I'm going to go with a process of elimination.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29I don't think it's an exclamation mark,

0:19:29 > 0:19:33cos I don't ever remember seeing that on a music sheet.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38I think I'm going to go with a star.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42OK, a star. It's not.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45It's a dot. You're right about exclamation mark,

0:19:45 > 0:19:48but picked out the wrong one of the other two. So, Kevin.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51In which year did Adam and the Ants

0:19:51 > 0:19:53have a UK number one single with Stand And Deliver?

0:19:57 > 0:20:02Well, they popped up around the turn of the 80s. '77 is too early

0:20:02 > 0:20:04and '86 is too late, so 1981.

0:20:04 > 0:20:081981 is the right answer, Kevin.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11OK, well, Kenny, see if you like this one.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14"One dream, one soul, one prize, one goal"

0:20:14 > 0:20:17are words from which song by the rock group Queen?

0:20:21 > 0:20:25I'm trying to play back those song lyrics in my head now.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29- You can sing them if you like. - No, you wouldn't appreciate it.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33We've had worse. We've had plenty from Chris over the years.

0:20:33 > 0:20:38Erm, I don't think it's Radio Gaga.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42And I don't think it's We Are The Champions.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46So I'm going to go with A Kind Of Magic.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50A Kind Of Magic, OK. It's the right answer. Worked that one out.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53OK, Kevin.

0:20:53 > 0:20:58The theme tune to the 1950s and 60s US TV detective show Peter Gunn,

0:20:58 > 0:21:01a hit for Duane Eddy, was written by which composer?

0:21:05 > 0:21:10Not Jerry Goldsmith. And Lalo Schifrin did Mission Impossible

0:21:10 > 0:21:13and various others. I'm pretty sure this was Henry Mancini.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16And the answer is Henry Mancini.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19That is correct. So you need to get this, Kenny.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22Another Green World, which was used as the signature tune

0:21:22 > 0:21:26for the BBC's arts programme Arena, is a piece by which musician?

0:21:30 > 0:21:34Erm, I don't know this one at all.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36I'm not very into my arts programmes.

0:21:36 > 0:21:42- So I'm going to have a complete guess and go with Kevin Godley.- OK.

0:21:42 > 0:21:47Kevin Godley, Another Green World? It's Brian Eno.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Not Kevin Godley.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53And we close the round here. Kevin's got two, you've got two wrong.

0:21:53 > 0:21:57You won't be in the final round. Please rejoin your teams.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01This is what we've been playing towards.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04It's time for the final round, which is general knowledge.

0:22:04 > 0:22:08But those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't take part

0:22:08 > 0:22:12in this round, so Andrew, Kenny and David from Leithal Thinkers

0:22:12 > 0:22:16and Daphne from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio now, please?

0:22:18 > 0:22:22Neil and Chris, you're playing to win the Leithal Thinkers £3,000.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25Pat, Judith, Kevin and CJ, you're playing for something

0:22:25 > 0:22:29which money cannot buy, no amount of it. It is the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:32 > 0:22:36This time, they're all general knowledge and you can confer.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39That's the big difference. So, Neil and Chris,

0:22:39 > 0:22:43the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:22:43 > 0:22:46Leithal Thinkers, do you want to go first or second?

0:22:46 > 0:22:50- I think...- We've gone first so far. - We'll go first, please.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56OK. The first final round question.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58At the start of a standard game of chess,

0:22:58 > 0:23:02which pieces occupy the four corners of the board?

0:23:04 > 0:23:06- It's the wee castles, isn't it? - It's the castles,

0:23:06 > 0:23:10which in chess you'd call the rooks.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Going for rooks, castles. Yep, it's the right answer.

0:23:12 > 0:23:17Off you go with a tick on the board. Eggheads, which football club plays

0:23:17 > 0:23:20its home games at the Britannia Stadium?

0:23:23 > 0:23:27- Stoke.- Stoke. - It's you, Judith.- Yeah, it's me.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30- That would be Stoke City. - It is the right answer,

0:23:30 > 0:23:35Stoke at the Britannia Stadium. Both teams getting a tick on the board.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38And Leithal Thinkers, your second question.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42In which Spanish city might you visit the Reina Sofia Museum?

0:23:45 > 0:23:47- I've been to Madrid and it's not there.- Yeah.

0:23:47 > 0:23:51- The Prado's the famous gallery... - Yep.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56Barcelona I've been to, but I'm not sure I went to many museums.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59We went to the cathedral, but...

0:23:59 > 0:24:04So it's either Valencia or Barcelona.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07- I would go for Barcelona.- Yeah. - That would be my gut feeling.

0:24:07 > 0:24:11I think so, too. Just a complete hunch, but we'll go for Barcelona.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13Barcelona for the Reina Sofia Museum.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Eggheads?- ALL: Madrid.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19It is in Madrid. You mentioned the Prado, as well.

0:24:19 > 0:24:24Chock full of museums, Madrid, and Reina Sofia one of the large ones.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27OK, a chance for the Eggheads to take the lead.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29In which decade was the Sizewell A

0:24:29 > 0:24:32nuclear power station in Suffolk opened?

0:24:35 > 0:24:40- Do you know?- Not as such, no.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42- My instinct was early 60s. - Oh, was it?

0:24:42 > 0:24:45- What was yours?- 70s.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48Er... But I have nothing.

0:24:48 > 0:24:53Sizewell B's inquiry dragged on for years and years and years

0:24:53 > 0:24:57- and Sizewell A was probably well in there.- Yeah, that's true.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02Erm... No, I simply don't know.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05I think, on balance, if we're talking about good old percentages,

0:25:05 > 0:25:09I think, on balance, the 60s seems the most likely.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12I don't know why, I just thought 70s when it came up

0:25:12 > 0:25:17but that could've been the beginning of the Sizewell B inquiry.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Shall we just go for 60s?- I think so.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23I think, on balance, it's the percentage one.

0:25:23 > 0:25:28Well, Leithal Thinkers, clearly some confusion amongst the Eggheads.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31But I need an answer, Eggheads.

0:25:31 > 0:25:35- We'll have to go for 60s.- What are you going for?- We don't really know

0:25:35 > 0:25:39so we're going to go and hope for the best for the 1960s.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43OK, Sizewell A nuclear power station opened in...

0:25:43 > 0:25:47..19...67. It's the right answer, Eggheads.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50Played the percentages there.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52So you need to get this, Leithal Thinkers.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55Which architect's practice was responsible for

0:25:55 > 0:25:58the design of Heathrow's Terminal 5 building?

0:26:03 > 0:26:07- I think Zaha Hidid's a bit abstract. - Yeah.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11And I haven't heard of David Adjaye,

0:26:11 > 0:26:16although I'm sure he's quite a famous architect.

0:26:16 > 0:26:20It is extremely modern architecture. It's big...

0:26:20 > 0:26:24- Richard Rogers sounds familiar to me.- Yeah.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26I think Richard... I'm trying to think what else...

0:26:26 > 0:26:29I don't know if he's the one who did the Lloyds building.

0:26:29 > 0:26:33He's certainly famous for a lot of these giant projects,

0:26:33 > 0:26:37Hong Kong airport or whatever, so I think it would be an educated guess,

0:26:37 > 0:26:40- but are we going to go for it? - Yeah, let's do it.- OK.

0:26:40 > 0:26:45We're going to make a slightly educated guess

0:26:45 > 0:26:47- of Richard Rogers.- OK.

0:26:47 > 0:26:51It's one you must get to keep your hopes alive.

0:26:51 > 0:26:55The practice responsible for Heathrow's Terminal 5,

0:26:55 > 0:26:59Richard Rogers. It's correct. You're still in it.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Let's see for how long, though.

0:27:01 > 0:27:06Eggheads, under what surname did the French author Francoise Quoirez

0:27:06 > 0:27:10write a number of novels and plays from the 1950s onwards?

0:27:13 > 0:27:17- It's Francoise Sagan. - Francoise Dorleac was a singer.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21- Dorleac was an actress and singer and Hardy was a singer.- Exactly.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23- So it is Francoise Sagan.- Yep.

0:27:23 > 0:27:28- That's Francoise Sagan.- OK.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31It is. It's the correct answer, Eggheads. You've won.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39Bad luck Leithal Thinkers, getting that Spanish question wrong,

0:27:39 > 0:27:43the Madrid question wrong, always chasing the game after that.

0:27:43 > 0:27:48The Eggheads on good form again. Knocked Daphne out, though.

0:27:48 > 0:27:52Maybe you could recruit her to the agency. She's the right demographic.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54Maybe think up a marketing slogan for the Eggheads.

0:27:54 > 0:27:58"Can they be beaten?" Could do with a bit of refreshing on that one.

0:27:58 > 0:28:02But thank you for playing the Eggheads today, Leithal Thinkers.

0:28:02 > 0:28:06The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and still reign supreme.

0:28:06 > 0:28:09I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £3,000.

0:28:09 > 0:28:12That means the money rolls over to the next show.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:15 > 0:28:18Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains

0:28:18 > 0:28:24to defeat the Eggheads. £4,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
