0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are among 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?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:32attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows - the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Taking on our quiz Goliaths are the Civic Elves from Merseyside.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45This team of civil servants are participants in a quiz
0:00:45 > 0:00:49which takes place most Fridays in their office. Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hello. My name's Chris. I'm 39 and I'm a civil servant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hello. My name's David. I'm 56 and I'm a civil servant.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi. My name's Barbara. I am 44 years old and I'm a civil servant.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi. I'm Clive. I'm 51 and I'm a civil servant.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hi. I'm Janet. I'm 47 and I'm also a civil servant.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14Welcome to you, Civil Elves. Tell me about Friday afternoon in your office!
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Some of the Eggheads should come along.- Yes!
0:01:18 > 0:01:22It tends to be an informal ten to 15 minutes, really.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- Within our lunch break, in case anyone...- Of course!
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Very important!- Indeed.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32We just like to keep our brains ticking over once a week.
0:01:32 > 0:01:38Is it quite formal or is it...? I've heard the Eggheads toss questions around amongst each other.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43Is it, "It's your turn, Chris," and you come in with a set of questions?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45No. It's more informal than that.
0:01:45 > 0:01:53Others who aren't here today like to get involved. It's just whoever sees a good question and stores it up.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58- But you do spend all week storing it up?- If you see something.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- "I'll get them with that."- Yeah.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04From watching quiz shows, reading the paper...?
0:02:04 > 0:02:09From wherever, really. From watching TV, reading. Usually from reading.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Any from Eggheads? - Yeah, actually. Now and then.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15OK, bit of practice for you.
0:02:15 > 0:02:21This is the real thing, up against the masters themselves. Let's see how you do, Civic Elves.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28If they fail to defeat the Eggheads the money rolls over.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31So, Civic Elves, the Eggheads have won the last six games.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35£7,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Our first subject today is Film & Television.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Any one of you can play this.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43What do we think?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Who wants it? You're quite strong on it.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Yeah?- Yeah. I'll take this.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Who do you want to take on?
0:02:51 > 0:02:57- Daphne, maybe?- Daphne. - Yeah?- I think I'll challenge Daphne.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02Clive has decided he's going to play Daphne in this opening round.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07Just to make sure you can't confer, not that you would,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09we'll send you to the question room.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13OK, Clive. Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I'll go first please, Dermot.
0:03:18 > 0:03:25First question, Clive. In the 1994 film The Lion King, who provided the voice for the lion Scar?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Well, um...
0:03:31 > 0:03:36I do like film, but this wasn't one of my favourites, I have to say!
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I don't think it was John Cleese.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I don't think it was Jeremy Irons.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I'm not too sure, really, about any of them,
0:03:48 > 0:03:52but something's telling me to go for James Earl Jones.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57It's Jeremy Irons. It is Jeremy Irons.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Another classic case of the Brit
0:03:59 > 0:04:01playing the baddy in Hollywood.
0:04:01 > 0:04:07Let's see how Daphne does. In which decade did the film Rainman win a Best Picture Oscar?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Just trying to work it out,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15logically, cos I think
0:04:15 > 0:04:21Kramer Versus Kramer was late '70s, so it must be the '80s.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25And Kramer Versus Kramer significant in you trying to identify what?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Dustin Hoffman was in it?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Because Rainman was after Kramer Versus Kramer.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33It was after a lot of films!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36DAPHNE: Am I wrong?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38No! It's correct.
0:04:38 > 0:04:401980s, we'll leave it at that.
0:04:40 > 0:04:441980s is correct. OK, we need to get you off the mark, Clive.
0:04:44 > 0:04:51Which English actor played an assassin called the Professor in the 2002 film The Bourne Identity?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Um...I remember this film.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01I liked the series of Bourne films.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04I don't think it's Colin Firth.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Um...or Ralph Fiennes.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I remember Clive Owen
0:05:10 > 0:05:14being in one of the Bourne films.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I'll go with Clive Owen.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Clive Owen is correct. Namesake there.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Clive earning a point for Clive.
0:05:25 > 0:05:33Daphne, which fictional English King is played by Brian Blessed in the 1983 TV series The Black Adder?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40As you know from a previous round,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43I have never seen Black Adder.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47CHUCKLES So, I haven't got a clue!
0:05:47 > 0:05:54I don't think it'd be George VII, so I'll rule him out.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Brian Blessed is a nice big sort of a chap.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Richard III was a bit weedy.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03So I'll go for Henry IX.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Henry IX?- Yes.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- It's not. No. It is, other Eggheads? - BOTH: Richard IV.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- Oh, right. OK. - It's all-square, clive. Great news.
0:06:14 > 0:06:22Your third question. What was the title of the BBC TV arts programme that ran from 1958 to 1965?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Um, well...
0:06:29 > 0:06:34I don't recognise any of those.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38I do watch a number of BBC arts programmes.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I don't seem to recollect this one!
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I don't think it's...
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Playback.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I will go for...Monitor.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Why have you gone for that? Just cos it sounds good?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Just as a general feel.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Something was telling me it was Monitor! I don't know!
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Maybe you heard it somewhere cos it's the right answer.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11From that very shaky start, you've built a lead and if it remains
0:07:11 > 0:07:15after Daphne gives me an answer, it'll take you to the final round.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Who wrote the screenplays for the movies Lethal Weapon,
0:07:18 > 0:07:22The Long Kiss Goodnight and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang?
0:07:27 > 0:07:33Would it surprise you to know I haven't heard of any of them?
0:07:33 > 0:07:38I do like the name of the first one, so Akiva Goldsman.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Akiva Goldsman. What do you think, Eggheads?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- Is it Akiva Goldsman? - BOTH: Don't know.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50The other Eggheads are bamboozled. That's as good a guess as any.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55- It's the wrong guess, though. It is Shane Black.- Oh, well. OK.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Which means, Clive,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00you went from zero with your first question
0:08:00 > 0:08:03to winning the round in the space of three questions.
0:08:03 > 0:08:09You've booked your place in the final round. Please come back and join your teams.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14The Eggheads have taken their first hit. They'll be missing one brain from the final round.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Our next subject is Arts & Books. Who'd like to play this?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Can't be Clive.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Civic Elves, Arts & Books.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I'm not good at this.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I'm good on books, but not on art. What do you think?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Maybe it's going to be three books!
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Let's hope for the best. I'll give it a go.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38All right, fine.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Um...Chris? >
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Yeah.- Yeah? Chris. Yeah.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46The decision is Barbara to take on Chris. You know where to go.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Into the question room, please.
0:08:49 > 0:08:55Barbara, I understand you haven't won very much at quizzing, apart from a very prized record
0:08:55 > 0:08:58by a certain band from the '70s, what was that?
0:08:58 > 0:09:04I entered a radio phone-in competition and was lucky enough to come away with a Boney M record.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Prize of the century, obviously!
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Can you remember what it was? Which...?
0:09:10 > 0:09:15I think Greatest Hits. It had a gold cover, and I was so excited.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I was a teenager. I clung to it on the bus all the way home.
0:09:19 > 0:09:25- Right, Barbara, do you want to go first or second? - I'll go second, please.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30You're facing the first question, Chris.
0:09:30 > 0:09:36Which writer, actress and comedienne wrote the novels Anita And Me and Life Isn't All Ha Ha Hee Hee?
0:09:39 > 0:09:43They are by Meera Syal.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46They are. That's the right answer.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Barbara, what's the title
0:09:48 > 0:09:51of the award-winning play set during the First World War,
0:09:51 > 0:09:57first performed in London in 2007, that is based on a children's book by Michael Morpurgo?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Ooh. Now I realise I should have gone first!
0:10:03 > 0:10:09I've no idea, so I will think about what's the most logical one.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I'll just guess at War Dance, please.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18War Dance, for the play based on the book by Michael Morpurgo.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22It's not War Dance. Chris Egghead?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- War Horse.- It's War Horse.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Second question, Chris.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31At what age did the poet John Keats die?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38He died young at 25.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43Yes. Barbara kicking herself now she sees that first set of questions,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45which I'm sure you'd have known.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Let's get you off, though.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52In 2010, the Royal Academy in London held a major exhibition subtitled
0:10:52 > 0:10:57The Artist And His Letters, featuring the work of which painter?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Ooh, I haven't heard it.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09I'm trying to think who might have been famous for letters
0:11:09 > 0:11:11as well as just artwork.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15I'll have to take a guess. I'll go with Vincent Van Gogh.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18It's the right answer. Yes. Well!
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Could this be like Clive? He got his first one wrong and won the round.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28For that to happen, Chris has to fail here.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Anne Lovell is often believed to be the subject of a painting
0:11:32 > 0:11:37by Hans Holbein known as A Lady With A Squirrel And A... what?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I don't think it'd be a starling.
0:11:42 > 0:11:48Lady With A Squirrel And A Badger sounds a bit Monty Python-ish.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52But Lady With A Squirrel And A Butterfly sounds about right.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54I'll go with butterfly.
0:11:54 > 0:12:00- LAUGHING:- You're making me laugh, Lady With A Squirrel And A Badger!
0:12:00 > 0:12:04It would by Python-esque! And it's not.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08But it's not Lady With A Squirrel And A Butterfly. It's a starling.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Could the revival be starting?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13You need to get this, Barbara.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Which American writer won three Pulitzer Prizes for poetry
0:12:17 > 0:12:23in the 1920s for his collected poems The Man Who Died Twice and Tristram?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I'm not familiar with those poets.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34So I will just have to take a guess.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39I think I'll go with... George Dillon, please.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42George Dillon for The Man Who Died Twice and Tristram.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Three Pulitzer Prizes for poetry in the '20s
0:12:46 > 0:12:49went to Edwin Arlington Robinson.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Edwin Arlington Robinson, not George Dillon.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Chris has pinched the round.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58You won't be in the final round, Barbara.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Would you both please join your teams?
0:13:01 > 0:13:08After that round, it means one Elf and one Egghead have gone from the final round.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Our third subject today is Sport.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Who'd like to play this?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16It can be Chris, David or Janet.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- With Judith.- Yeah?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I'll take that one, Dermot, against Judith.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Oh!
0:13:23 > 0:13:28- LAUGHTER - Audible groan there from Judith!
0:13:28 > 0:13:33Chris and Judith playing sport. Into the question room, please.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Chris, I know you're a footie fan.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Which side of the great Liverpool divide do you come down on?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Firmly on the blue side, Dermot.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Do you go to all the games?
0:13:46 > 0:13:50I have done. I've had a season ticket for nine or so years now.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Do you see the glory glory years returning soon?
0:13:53 > 0:13:58You've got to be an optimist to be an Evertonian, so let's hope so.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:14:07 > 0:14:13Best of luck, Chris. What role does Kevin Pietersen usually perform for the England cricket team?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I'll rule out wicket keeper straight away.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24He does occasionally do a bit of bowling,
0:14:24 > 0:14:28but he's best known as a batsman, that's my answer.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31That's for sure. That's the right answer. Kevin Pietersen.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Judith, Ricardo Carvalho
0:14:33 > 0:14:39and Michael Essien represented which football team during the 2009/10 season?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Don't look so pained, Judith.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47I've heard of their names.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Carvalho and Essien.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Chelsea.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- Yes!- Yes?- It's the right answer! - Hooray!
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Don't see that too often. Chris, your second question.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05What was the only Grand Slam ladies' single title
0:15:05 > 0:15:09that Monica Seles failed to win during her tennis career?
0:15:11 > 0:15:16I seem to remember Seles wasn't particularly good on grass.
0:15:18 > 0:15:24I don't recall her winning Wimbledon so that's my answer, Wimbledon.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28You've given us the reason why as well. Wimbledon is correct.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Judith, which country beat the USA
0:15:33 > 0:15:37in the final to win the Olympic gold medal in men's ice hockey in 2010?
0:15:39 > 0:15:44They're all winter countries, that's the trouble.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48It's a matter of picking. Canada won a lot of medals.
0:15:48 > 0:15:54I'm sure they're very good at ice hockey. I'm going to say Canada.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58In that North American derby, it's the right answer.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Both going very strongly.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Chris,
0:16:02 > 0:16:08in 2004, Ronan Flood became the caddy of which professional golfer?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I have to admit, I don't know this one.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20I know Faldo's changed his caddy a few times over the years.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22But the name
0:16:22 > 0:16:26also suggests an Irish connection.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29So I'm torn between Harrington and Faldo.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35I'll go for Padraig Harrington, please.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39You got the Irish connection. That's correct. Yes.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Three out of three.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Judith needs to get this.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Which prop made his 100th international appearance
0:16:46 > 0:16:49for the Irish rugby union team
0:16:49 > 0:16:52during the 2010 6 Nations tournament?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59The only Irish name is Paul O'Connell.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04I suspect that's a red herring but just in case it isn't,
0:17:04 > 0:17:09and it's on my lucky righthand side, I'm going to say Paul O'Connell.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13There's no red herrings. They're all great servants of the Irish team.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- But it's John Hayes. - It's not an Irish name, though.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20That means he shouldn't be playing?
0:17:20 > 0:17:25- Yeah.- You're not playing in the final round, and you are, Chris.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:17:29 > 0:17:35Looking better for the Civic Elves. They've knocked two Eggheads out and one of the Civic Elves has gone.
0:17:35 > 0:17:41In our last head-to-head before the final round, the subject is Music.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Who'd like to play? David or Janet.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Are you OK with it? Yeah.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I'll do it. Who do you want? Pat or Barry?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I'm going to do music.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- Barry, please.- Barry. - Looks very happy about it.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Janet and Barry, into the question room then, please.
0:18:02 > 0:18:08- Janet, do you want to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Janet, first question.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit Of)
0:18:17 > 0:18:21was a UK Number One single for Lou Bega in which year?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28I remember this one.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32I remember looking through a number of compilation CDs to find it.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I think '79 is too early.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38It's either '89 or '99.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Um...
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I'll say 1999.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Yeah. That's the right answer. Well done.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Your first question, Barry.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54Halo, Deja Vu and Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)
0:18:54 > 0:18:57are UK Top 40 singles by which pop singer?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I don't think it's Lily Allen.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07I've had fun with Lily Allen questions in the past.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I'm pretty certain it's not her.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Halo, Deja... I think it's Beyonce.
0:19:12 > 0:19:18- You had fun? You mean you got them wrong?- Yes!
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Mentally scarred.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26No. I went back and listened to Lily Allen music. She's very good.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31That's what you do as an Egghead, learn from your mistakes.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- So you're going for...? - Beyonce.- That's the right answer.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37OK, Janet.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41People Will Say We're In Love is a song from which musical?
0:19:44 > 0:19:48I don't watch musicals, apart from South Pacific. I like that one!
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Um...I'd say not Chicago.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Cabaret or Oklahoma!?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I'll go for Oklahoma!
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Oklahoma! Daphne?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- She's right.- It's the right answer.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Checking with our musicals expert.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16People Will Say We're In Love.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21Barry, the group Bombalurina, who had a UK Number One single in 1990
0:20:21 > 0:20:24with Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27was fronted by which TV personality?
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Oh, it was the unforgettable Timmy Mallett.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Unforgettable's one way of describing him!
0:20:36 > 0:20:42- That was the kindest thing I could think of.- It's the right answer.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I won't say the whole title,
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Janet, what was the first name of the jazz musician
0:20:49 > 0:20:52known as "Bix" Beiderbecke?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I thought his name WAS Bix.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Well, it's "Bix" in...
0:21:01 > 0:21:04with commas around it, "Bix" Beiderbecke.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- What's his first name?- I think Mitchell sounds a bit modern.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Um...I'll try Leon.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Leon Beiderbecke?
0:21:12 > 0:21:17Barry's nodding. It's the right answer. Three out of three!
0:21:17 > 0:21:22Great stuff, Janet. Might get you a place in the final round.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Barry, which Russian composer provided the musical score
0:21:26 > 0:21:30for the 1938 film Alexander Nevsky?
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Oh. It wasn't Stravinsky.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Was it Prokofiev or Shostakovich?
0:21:39 > 0:21:44They're both... They're all of much the same vintage.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Alexander Nevsky?
0:21:48 > 0:21:53Prokofiev provided more musical scores so I shall go for him.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- Prokofiev is the right answer. - Phew.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Relieved Eggheads here,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02who've been willing you on, Barry.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07Both done so well with your first three questions and it means, Janet,
0:22:07 > 0:22:12we go to sudden death and remove the choices you've seen.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15It's a lot harder. Just got to hear an answer from you.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20Here's your question. On which 1982 Michael Jackson album
0:22:20 > 0:22:24did the songs Beat It and Billie Jean feature?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28I've got all the Michael Jackson CDs!
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Just got to remember which it was on. Um...
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I'm trying to remember what was on Bad.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41I think that's too late.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44I think it was Off The Wall.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Off The Wall for Beat It and Billie Jean. It's not.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51No, it's not, Janet. Do you know, Barry?
0:22:51 > 0:22:56- I think they were on Thriller. - Yeah. The big one, on Thriller.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02This has been a thriller. Is it going to end? A chance for Barry.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04If he doesn't get it, we play on.
0:23:04 > 0:23:10The headquarters of the Welsh National Opera are in which city?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Cardiff or Swansea?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Cardiff.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Is correct, Barry. Yes.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Sad to end that there.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23- Janet, you quiz in such good heart. You enjoyed it in there.- Yes.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Some people don't enjoy the experience. You thrived on it.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32I'm sorry you won't be in the final round. Would you both please join your teams?
0:23:32 > 0:23:38This is what we've been playing towards, the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Those of you who lost your head-to-head
0:23:41 > 0:23:43won't be allowed to take part.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46So, Barbara and Janet from the Civic Elves,
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Daphne and Judith from the Eggheads, leave the studio, please.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56Chris, David and Clive, you're playing to win the Civic Elves £7,000.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Chris, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something which money can't buy,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:02 > 0:24:09I'll ask each team three questions in turn, all General Knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.
0:24:09 > 0:24:15Chris, David and Clive, the question is, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:24:15 > 0:24:20- Civic Elves, would you like to go first or second?- We'll go first.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Civic Elves playing for £7,000. This is your first question.
0:24:27 > 0:24:33In 2009, who claimed to have predicted the six winning Lottery numbers live on television?
0:24:38 > 0:24:42I remember watching that. It was Derren Brown.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- Derren Brown. Yeah.- Go on.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47It was Derren Brown.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50It was. One to you, Civic Elves.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57White, red and which colour feature on the flag of the Czech Republic?
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Blue. Definitely blue.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04We think that's blue, Dermot.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- Blue?- Blue.- It's the right answer.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09They know their flags!
0:25:11 > 0:25:17Civic Elves, Halifax is the capital of which Canadian province?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22We've got relatives in Canada. >
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- I'm pretty sure it's Nova Scotia. - I think it is, yeah.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29I don't think it's Alberta. I'm pretty certain it's Nova Scotia.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32We think it's Nova Scotia.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Halifax, Nova Scotia is the right answer. Two to the Civic Elves.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42A vicennial event occurs once every how many years?
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- "Vi", vicennial. - I think that's 20. You agree?- Yeah.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54We think that's 20, Dermot.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57It is 20, yes.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00A bit of doubt there.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05I can always see that and exploit it. All right, it's all square.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09These are crucial questions for both teams.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12The Havanese is a breed of which animal?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16The Havanese,
0:26:16 > 0:26:20H-A-V-A-N-E-S-E, is a breed of which animal?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28I have to confess, I'm not too sure about this.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- I don't think it's a dog. - No, I don't think it's a dog.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33It may be a horse.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Yeah. I don't know so I'm happy to go...
0:26:37 > 0:26:40I don't think it's dog. It's one of the other two.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- I'd be inclined to go for horse. - Go with what you're thinking.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49- Horse. Yeah. - We'll go for horse, Dermot.- Horse?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52No. It's incorrect. Do you know, Eggheads?
0:26:52 > 0:26:56- I'd go for dog myself. - OK, just out of interest.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00- What would you have gone for? - I'd be inclined to say rabbit.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04They'd have had a dispute. It's interesting. It's a dog.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- A breed of dog.- Never heard of it.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Means the Eggheads have an opportunity to win the game.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16In which year were the astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin born?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23They landed on the moon in '69.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27I think loads of astronauts were born in the same year.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I would have thought it was 1930.
0:27:29 > 0:27:3339. They all had substantial Air Force careers behind them.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- '35? - '35 sounds...
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- definitely too... They'd be too young.- Yeah.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42'25, they'd be too old.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44I'm happy with 1930.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- 1930 rings a bell of sorts.- OK.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51We're not entirely certain, Dermot, but we think it's 1930.
0:27:51 > 0:27:531930?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56It is the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Just one question in it, Civic Elves.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09You covered yourselves in glory in those head-to-heads.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14Could have been more balanced in your favour if some questions had gone the way of the women.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Janet and Barbara did very well but just didn't manage to get through.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Thank you very much for coming to take on the Eggheads,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25and not quite succeeding, Civic Elves.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and their winning streak continues.
0:28:29 > 0:28:35You won't be going home with the £7,000, which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:38 > 0:28:43Join us to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46£8,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
