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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38They are the Eggheads.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths are Royal Albatross.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45This team became friends while spending many happy hours
0:00:45 > 0:00:48wandering the fairways of Royal Winchester Golf Club.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Mike, I'm 65, and I'm a charity manager.
0:00:54 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Marilyn, I'm 62, and I'm a part-time golf clubhouse manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Keith, I'm 68, and I'm a retired service manager.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10Hello, I'm Ailsa, I'm 72, and I'm a housewife.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15Hi, I'm Terry, I'm 68, and I'm a retired consulting engineer.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Welcome to you, Royal Albatross. Just explain the team name.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22"Royal" stands for Royal Winchester Golf Club,
0:01:22 > 0:01:27and "Albatross" is a very special bird, a very rare bird,
0:01:27 > 0:01:32and we consider ourselves very rare golfers.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- Rare in that you're so good? - I think so, yes. Sometimes.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39So tell me, we know about the golfing
0:01:39 > 0:01:41and no doubt the banter that goes on there,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44but do you quiz a bit as you're walking those fairways,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47or does it wait till you get in the clubhouse?
0:01:47 > 0:01:51I think we wait until we get in the clubhouse.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55But we have a good time. We do quiz each other from time to time.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Royal Albatross, let's play the Eggheads today. Best of luck.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07it rolls over to the next show.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Royal Albatross, the Eggheads have won the last four games.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14That means £5,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Our first head-to-head today is on the subject of Food & Drink.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22As it's the opening round, any one of you can play.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26We'll just have a little discussion. Would anybody like to take it?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Do you want me to do it? - No, we want to save you for the end!
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Marilyn.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35Because I'm no good at Geography, if it comes up.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Marilyn.- Me.- After that, OK!
0:02:38 > 0:02:42All right, Marilyn, you now need to choose an Egghead to play.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45You think I should go for Kevin? Why not?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- Kevin.- OK, let's have Marilyn and Kevin into the Question Room
0:02:49 > 0:02:52to play Food & Drink.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Marilyn, would you like to go first or second?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56First, please.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Best of luck, Marilyn. Food & Drink. Your question is this:
0:03:02 > 0:03:06The name of which area of New York City precedes "Iced Tea"
0:03:06 > 0:03:09in the name of a popular cocktail often consisting of vodka, rum,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12tequila, gin, triple sec and cola?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I don't know. Let me have a little think.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Erm...
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I will have to guess, erm...
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I'll say Long Island. I really do not know.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37No conviction, but your teammates shaking their fists in triumph!
0:03:37 > 0:03:39It's the right answer, yes. Long Island Iced Tea.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42It is Marge Simpson's favourite cocktail.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Well, I never, CJ! Imagine you knowing that!
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Which three-word French phrase indicates the section of the menu
0:03:50 > 0:03:53where separate prices are listed for each dish?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00That is a la carte, "according to the menu".
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Absolutely. A la carte.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Marilyn, second question.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10The salad ingredient lambs lettuce is known by what alternative name?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Once again, I don't know.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Erm...
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I will guess...
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- ..corn salad.- Corn salad.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Bit of a guess with the first. Bit of a guess with the second.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Same result! It's correct.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Corn salad.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Kevin's second question.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37What are the main ingredients of the American dish succotash?
0:04:41 > 0:04:45It's all one word. Succotash.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49As in "sufferin' succotash", a cartoon catchphrase.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54What tiny bells are ringing are saying it's to do with corn.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I'll go for sweetcorn and beans.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Bit of a theme in the last two answers.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03That's correct. Yes, sweetcorn and beans, after the corn salad.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05So you stay all square.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Marilyn, third question.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11The Italian delicacy bottarga
0:05:11 > 0:05:13consists of dried what?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Once again, just for a change, I don't know.
0:05:20 > 0:05:27Erm... There is something in the back of my mind which says fish.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30So it's probably totally wrong again.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31But I will go with fish roe.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35You're quizzing like an Egghead. It's the right answer!
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Something in the back of your head enough to clinch another tick.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Kevin needs to get this.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46In Japanese cuisine, hiyamugi and kishimen
0:05:46 > 0:05:48are what type of food?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Right... As far as I'm aware,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I haven't come across either of those.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01So... I mean, they could be types of rice.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06I really don't know. So purely on the basis that ramen,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09so it's got the same ending as one of them, is noodles,
0:06:09 > 0:06:13I'll have to hope they're types of noodles.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Brilliant. Right answer.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I'm loving these scraps of knowledge you're both picking up on
0:06:18 > 0:06:21and coming up with some great answers. Quality quizzing.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Enjoying it so much, let's do some more!
0:06:25 > 0:06:30Marilyn, it goes to Sudden Death after three questions.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34That means we take away the choices. Here you go.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Which pale-coloured and mild-tasting raw cane sugar
0:06:38 > 0:06:44takes its name from a former colony situated in modern-day Guyana?
0:06:45 > 0:06:50I can't really think of anything else other than Demerara,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52so I'll have to say that.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Oh.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- That's all you've come up with?- Yes.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58It's the right answer!
0:06:58 > 0:07:00DERMOT LAUGHS
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Well done, Marilyn.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Well done. OK, well, Kevin needs to get this.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Which high-quality French brandy takes its name
0:07:09 > 0:07:14from a town in the Charente department of western France?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Yes, well, there's more than...
0:07:19 > 0:07:21OK, I think there's a couple of candidates.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24It'll have to be... I'll say Armagnac.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- What was the other you were thinking of?- Cognac.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30It's cognac. Which means, Marilyn,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- you're in the Final Round, deservedly.- Brilliant!
0:07:33 > 0:07:38Kevin won't. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41"Albatross" in golfing terms means three under par.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45That's a good thing in golfing and a bad thing in Eggheads.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47They've lost Kevin from the Final Round.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50No members of Royal Albatross gone.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Let's play another head-to-head.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57This one is Music. Who'd like to play this?
0:07:57 > 0:08:01I think it's got to be you. You're the only singer.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- I'll play.- OK, Mike. You're a bit of a singer, are you?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I used to sing.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- What kind of style? - I've been a peasant in many operas!
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- Some say you still are!- Indeed!
0:08:13 > 0:08:16OK, Mike, who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I think I'll take the railway man, Chris.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Let's have Mike and Chris into the Question Room, please.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26OK, then, Mike, let's see if we can get you into the Final Round.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Best of luck, Mike. Your first question.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39What name is given to the skill of being able to perform from a score
0:08:39 > 0:08:42without previous rehearsal or study?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Well, let's see. Erm...
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Speed reading would be useful,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55and is useful in most music things,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58but I think the answer is sight reading.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Sight reading, yes. Right answer.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04On to you, Chris. In the 1960s and '70s,
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Salvatore Bono was better known in the pop world by what single name?
0:09:11 > 0:09:15He was married to Cher and he was half of Sonny and Cher.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Sonny is the right answer. Well done.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21And, Mike, second question.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going
0:09:23 > 0:09:28was a UK number-one single in 1986 for which singer?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Well, I think Lionel Richie did the ballad side
0:09:36 > 0:09:40and that was certainly not a ballad.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42So it's Billy or Stevie.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45I will go with Billy Ocean.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Billy or Stevie! Yes, it's Billy. That's right.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Two to you. Chris, which musical with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
0:09:53 > 0:09:57tells the story of the loves and losses of a British girl in America
0:09:57 > 0:10:00through the correspondence that she sends home?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I've got the original album of this with Marti Webb.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12- It's Tell Me On A Sunday. - Yes, it is.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14On we go. Mike, third question.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Who composed the 1929 opera Sir John In Love
0:10:18 > 0:10:21based on Shakespeare's play The Merry Wives of Windsor?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Oh. I haven't been a peasant in this one.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Erm, let me think.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I will go with Ralph Vaughan Williams.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42OK, Vaughan Williams... is the right answer! Yes!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Three out of three. Chris needs this.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Which soprano famously chose seven of her own recordings
0:10:48 > 0:10:51when she appeared on the radio show Desert Island Discs?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Ahh.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01I don't think it was Victoria de los Angeles.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Er, I don't think Maria Callas was ever on Desert Island Discs.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I think it was Elisabeth Schwarzkopf.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Elisabeth Schwarzkopf is correct.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16And so, all square after three,
0:11:16 > 0:11:18as the last round.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22And we go to Sudden Death again. Mike, your question.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26The 1981 UK number-one hit Tainted Love by Soft Cell
0:11:26 > 0:11:30was originally recorded in the mid-'60s by which female singer?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Tainted Love...
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I should know the '60s.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Erm...
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Let's go...
0:11:39 > 0:11:42..Diana Ross?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46No, it's not. It's Gloria Jones.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49So, Chris, here's your question.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51What was the first Australian act
0:11:51 > 0:11:54to top the UK singles charts?
0:11:54 > 0:11:58The lovely Judith Durham was the lead singer. The Seekers.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Is the right answer, yes.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05- The Seekers. Do you know the song? - I'll Never Find Another You.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Even more correct. Absolutely right. Gets you into the Final Round.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14Tough old battle, that. But Chris has made it there.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16No place for you in the Final Round, Mike.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Please come back and join your teams.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Well, then, that leaves both teams on birdies, so to speak.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Both one under par.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Our next round today is History. Who'd like to play this?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Remember, it can't be Mike or Marilyn.- Sorry!
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Going down the line, it's Keith, Ailsa or Terry.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38I think you're better than me on kings and queens.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40I think you are, Terry.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44OK, well, it could be history when I get back!
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- We'll go for me.- Reluctantly, Terry.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50All right, Terry. Who would you like to play?
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- You've got Barry, Daphne or CJ. - Go for CJ.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- I'm instructed to go for CJ.- OK.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Terry's going to play CJ. The subject is history.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05You know where to go. It's the Question Room!
0:13:05 > 0:13:07OK, Terry, somewhat reluctantly there.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09But these previous rounds have been so close,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12the next one might match those previous two.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13I suspect you're pretty good.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please, Dermot.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Good luck. Here's your question.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Which empire lasted from about 1300
0:13:25 > 0:13:29until it collapsed after its defeat in World War 1?
0:13:32 > 0:13:351300...
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Well, the Aztecs, that's kind of, erm, Latin America.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42And I know the Incas were round about that time.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Are they similar to the Aztecs?
0:13:44 > 0:13:48I have a feeling the Ottoman was before that. Mongol, I don't know.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51This is one of these that I am really guessing,
0:13:51 > 0:13:53but I think I might go for the Aztec.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58Aztec. No, it's incorrect.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03It's the Ottoman Empire. It collapsed after World War 1.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08And, CJ, in which year did Henry VIII die?
0:14:12 > 0:14:17He came to the throne in 1509, which probably means he died in 1547.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Yes. 1647 might've seen him there a while!
0:14:21 > 0:14:23It's the right answer.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26OK, let's get you off the mark, Terry.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Who was the last English king to be killed in battle?
0:14:34 > 0:14:38King John signed the Magna Carta, 1215.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Henry IV was a Shakespeare... Part 1, part 2.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45I'm going to go for Henry IV.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49OK, Henry IV, last English king to be killed in battle?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- CJ?- It's Richard III.- Yes.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56So, CJ, an early chance to win the round.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00The General Strike of 1926 lasted approximately how long?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- Do you know, I don't know.- Mm. - I don't know this.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12My first thought was shorter rather than longer,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14so I'll guess at 9 days.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18It is the correct answer. 9 days. Approximately 9 days.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Which means not approximately, definitely, Terry,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23you're not in the Final Round.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28Got off on the wrong foot with that first one and never recovered.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:15:32 > 0:15:36After that shaky start for the Eggheads, they've crept back in.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39It means that two members of Royal Albatross will be missing.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41One Egghead gone.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44A chance now to even it up in our last head-to-head.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46It's Arts & Books.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Your remaining players are Keith and Ailsa.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55I think we've got to save Ailsa. I'd better take this.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- OK.- Even though I've never read a book in my life!
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Who would you like to choose from the Eggheads?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Let me identify them for you. Daphne and Barry.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- I'll have the charming Daphne. - The charming Daphne.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Flattery will get you everywhere!
0:16:11 > 0:16:15OK, let's have Keith and Daphne into the Question Room.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Right, Keith.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20You've another choice now. Do you want to go first or second?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I'll keep up with the rest of them and go first.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28OK, here's your question.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Robert Louis Stevenson's novel
0:16:30 > 0:16:33The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
0:16:33 > 0:16:35is set in which city?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I'm not sure of this one.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45I know the book.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49I would suggest that it's London.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Yes! Right answer. You've got to be careful, though, haven't you?
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Yes, London for Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58So, Daphne, your first question.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Major Major Major Major
0:17:00 > 0:17:04is a character in which novel, published in 1961?
0:17:07 > 0:17:12He is in Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Indeed. That's the right answer.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Back to you, Keith.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Charlotte Lucas marries Mr Collins in which Jane Austen novel?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Well...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I saw Mansfield Park.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32The name doesn't come back from there.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35In which case, I'll try Pride and Prejudice.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Bit of elimination there, bit of a hunch, and the right answer.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Pride and Prejudice. Well done. You have two.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Daphne's second question.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47In Rodin's sculpture The Kiss,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50the man's right hand is resting on what part of the woman?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Oh, dear.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01His right hand...
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Well...
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Her thigh?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11It's the right answer. Well done.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13It's still all square.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Keith, third question.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19When JMW Turner put the letters PP after his name
0:18:19 > 0:18:22in the early 19th century, for what did these letters stand?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I knew this subject would be a bit difficult.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36But as far as I can recall,
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Turner was a painter,
0:18:40 > 0:18:43therefore I'll go for Prince of Painters.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48OK. Definitely a painter, that's for sure.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51But it's not Prince of Painters. Do you know, Daphne?
0:18:51 > 0:18:55I'd have gone for Poet of the Picturesque, but I don't know.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00- It's Professor of Perspective.- Oh! - Professor of Perspective.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Would've caught Daphne out, as well, but it was your question.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06This is Daphne's third question.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09The 1934 novel The Nine Tailors
0:19:09 > 0:19:12set in a background of bell-ringing, features which detective?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I've read all of them!
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- Course you have! - It's Lord Peter Wimsey.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- Crime novels, your favourite.- Yes.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Lord Peter Wimsey, it definitely is.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32That takes you through to the Final Round. Just the one slip, Keith.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36She is charming, but deadly at quizzing, as you've just found out.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38You won't be in the Final Round.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43This is what we've been playing towards.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Time for the Final Round, which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:49 > 0:19:52won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Mike, Keith and Terry from Royal Albatross, all the men,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57and Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:19:57 > 0:20:01would you leave the studio, please?
0:20:01 > 0:20:06Marilyn and Ailsa, you're playing to win Royal Albatross £5,000.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08CJ, Daphne, Chris and Barry,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11you're playing for something money can't buy -
0:20:11 > 0:20:13the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17I'll ask each team three questions. They're all general knowledge.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22You can confer. That's why your victory, Marilyn, was so important,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24otherwise Ailsa would've been there on her own.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Marilyn and Ailsa, the question is, are your two brains
0:20:27 > 0:20:29better than the Eggheads' four?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Royal Albatross, would you like to go first or second?
0:20:32 > 0:20:33We'll go first.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Best of luck, Marilyn and Ailsa. First question.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43In journalism, the name of the writer of an article
0:20:43 > 0:20:44is referred to as the what?
0:20:49 > 0:20:54Byline. Well, deadline is when the article has to be in by,
0:20:54 > 0:20:58dateline is the date it occurred,
0:20:58 > 0:21:01so we're going to go for byline.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Yes, of course, it's the right answer.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Eggheads, first question.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07On a standard UK computer keyboard,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10which letter is furthest to the left on the bottom row?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14THEY CONFER
0:21:16 > 0:21:17We always get these ones!
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- I thought it was Z.- It is.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25X is there, Y is on the top row, so it must be Z.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Zebra... Z would be...
0:21:28 > 0:21:31For once, we're all agreed on the keyboard question,
0:21:31 > 0:21:32and it's Z.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Doing your virtual typing there! It's the right answer.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40OK, Royal Albatross, Marilyn and Ailsa, second question.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Which city is the setting for the 1974 disaster movie
0:21:44 > 0:21:46The Towering Inferno?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- That was Steve McQueen, wasn't it? - Was it?
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Wasn't he the fire chief? No? Am I thinking of something else?
0:21:56 > 0:22:01I would guess San Francisco, but I don't know.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Wait a minute... There was something about Chicago Fire Service.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10Hasn't Chicago got more skyscrapers than San Francisco?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Probably.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17I can recall something about the Chicago Fire Service.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Shall we? - I don't know. Whatever you like.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24With great trepidation, we're going to go for Chicago.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Chicago, on the basis it's got more taller buildings.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32Chicago for The Towering Inferno. It's not.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34I'll let the Eggheads tell you.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36ALL: San Francisco.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39You were thinking that first.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Well, a chance for the Eggheads to take the lead.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47In which sport has an illegal method known as corking been used,
0:22:47 > 0:22:50which supposedly allows players to hit the ball further?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Somebody got, I can't remember... - It was an illegal bat.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58And it broke and revealed it.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02It snapped. It had cork inside. It's baseball.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06I'm reliably informed by my sports experts that it's baseball.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Is the correct answer. Yes.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Well done.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14That means you need to get this, Marilyn and Ailsa.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19In the late 1700s, the Frenchman Francois-Ambroise Didot
0:23:19 > 0:23:23developed the point system for use in which area?
0:23:28 > 0:23:32I don't think they'd have done commodities trading.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Typography is printing of some sort.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- Navigation... Points.- Point system?
0:23:41 > 0:23:45- Your guess is as good as mine. - My guess was wrong last time.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I don't know.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Points system...
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Erm... Go for it. Whatever.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Yes. FA Didot...
0:23:56 > 0:24:02- FAD... No. Can't think of anything. - There's no bells ringing at all!
0:24:02 > 0:24:05We're going to go for typography.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08OK. Chuckling Eggheads,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- because it is...- ALL: Correct.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- Correct! - LAUGHTER
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Nothing wrong with a good old guess,
0:24:16 > 0:24:21especially when you get it right. There you are, still alive,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23but hoping for the Eggheads not to get this.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Borley Rectory,
0:24:25 > 0:24:29reputed to be the most haunted house in England, is in which county?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- Lincolnshire. - I had a good feel for Lincolnshire.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37As soon as I saw it, I thought Lincolnshire.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- I don't think it's Essex.- No.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44There are a few in Dorset, but as soon as it came up,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46a little light went on.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50The spirits seem to be telling us Lincolnshire. That's our answer.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53You know how capricious those spirits can be. It's wrong.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- It is Essex.- Oh. It is Essex?
0:24:55 > 0:24:59And you know what? It's all square.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02We go to Sudden Death. You don't see that too often,
0:25:02 > 0:25:07the Eggheads getting away with a wrong answer in the Final Round.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Your first Sudden Death question, Marilyn and Ailsa,
0:25:10 > 0:25:15which country has ".SY" as its international internet code?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18".SY."
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- ".SY."- Syria?- It could be.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- I haven't got a clue. - Do they all have dots?
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Yes, I think.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31I would go with your first thought. Syria?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- Guess.- We don't know this at all,
0:25:33 > 0:25:38so we're going to have a little punt on Syria!
0:25:38 > 0:25:40A little punt on Syria!
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- It's Syria. It's correct!- Well done!
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Well! OK.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Now, this is looking good. Eggheads must get this.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Which Carry On actor
0:25:50 > 0:25:54appeared in more films in the series than anyone else, a total of 26?
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Kenneth Williams. I've had this question in another quiz.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I can't do the voice, but it's Kenneth Williams.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Kenneth Williams? Correct, Eggheads. Still in it.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09And another question for you, Marilyn and Ailsa.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Which city in the south of England is home to the Met Office?
0:26:12 > 0:26:18Which city in the south of England is home to the Met Office?
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Brighton?
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- I thought it was Bristol, but that's west, isn't it?- It's a city.
0:26:26 > 0:26:32Newmarket's not, is it? Not Newmarket. Newbury's not a city.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- No.- Oxford's more middle England. - Not Swindon?
0:26:35 > 0:26:39- Swindon?- Or is that west?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- I don't know. - I don't know why I've got Bristol.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- We're going to have to make a decision.- We are. Er...
0:26:45 > 0:26:50Well, it could be any of the others, but Bristol did spring to mind.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- But I could be totally wrong. - I said Brighton first.- You did.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- Go with that if you want. - Brighton or Bristol?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Bristol's south. We'll go for Bristol.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Bristol, for the home of the Met Office.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05You're in the right direction, but not Bristol.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- Do you know, Eggheads?- Exeter. - Exeter.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- I didn't know that.- No. - That may be some comfort.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16But it's not over, as we saw in those first three questions,
0:27:16 > 0:27:19The Eggheads have to get theirs right to win.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24Which member of Fleetwood Mac released the solo albums
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Bella Donna, The Wild Heart and Rock A Little?
0:27:27 > 0:27:30I thought Rock A Little was Stevie Nicks.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Lindsey Buckingham released some. But they sound like Stevie Nicks.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Daphne?- No idea.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- OK, happy?- ALL: Yes. - We're going to go for Stevie Nicks.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Stevie Nicks. Bella Donna, The Wild Heart and Rock A Little...
0:27:44 > 0:27:46..are by Stevie Nicks.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49It's the correct answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56What can I say, Royal Albatross? What a game that was.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- It was good fun.- Great fun. - I'm glad you enjoyed it.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02It's taken my breath away! It was nail-biting.
0:28:02 > 0:28:09Some really memorable head-to-heads. In particular, yours, Marilyn.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14We should mention Mike's, as well. Very unlucky to go out.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Great fun. That's what it's all about.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Continue to have fun on the golf course, and watching Eggheads.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- Thank you for coming to see us. - Thank you.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26The Eggheads have done what comes naturally. They reign supreme.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29You won't be going home with the £5,000,
0:28:29 > 0:28:31which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Join us to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:37 > 0:28:39have the brains to defeat them.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42£6,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
