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?

0:00:22 > 0:00:26Welcome to 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 > 0:00:36They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Taking on our champions today

0:00:38 > 0:00:41are Snaefellas from the Isle of Man.

0:00:41 > 0:00:47In choosing a name, this team has drawn inspiration from the geography of their island. Let's meet them.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hello. I'm Gary. I'm 36 and I'm an accountant.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54I'm Gary. I'm 39 and a business sales consultant.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'm Kevin. I'm 38 and I'm an accountant.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01I'm Peter. I'm 36 and I'm a telecomms manager.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04I'm Mat. I'm 32 and I'm a fund administrator.

0:01:04 > 0:01:11Welcome to you, Snaefellas. I mentioned your team name is from the geography of the Isle of Man.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15The Eggheads know this, but everyone viewing may not. Snaefell is...

0:01:15 > 0:01:17It's the island's only mountain.

0:01:17 > 0:01:25- It's the only thing big enough to be classified as a mountain, at 2,036 feet.- Not bad, then.

0:01:25 > 0:01:30And "fellas". That's what you say on the Isle of Man, "Right, fella?"

0:01:30 > 0:01:34Yeah. It's a colloquial saying that spans the generation gap.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37You'll hear a 14-year-old say it as much as an 84-year-old.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40Any of you lot ever quizzed on the Isle of Man?

0:01:40 > 0:01:47Ever squirrelled your money away there, Judith and Pat? Not that you'd admit to!

0:01:47 > 0:01:52- What's the quizzing scene like on the Isle of Man? - A number of pubs run local quizzes.

0:01:52 > 0:01:57- Do you ever take part in them? - We do. Yes. More so recently.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00- Since you knew you were on Eggheads. - Exactly.

0:02:00 > 0:02:05- How have you been doing in practice? - Um...adequately.

0:02:05 > 0:02:10You're not giving anything away, are you? And right not to!

0:02:10 > 0:02:15Let's play the Eggheads, then. Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19If they fail to defeat the Eggheads the money rolls over.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22So, Snaefellas, the Eggheads have won the last seven games.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26£8,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.

0:02:26 > 0:02:30Our first head-to-head battle is on Arts and Books.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Who wants to take this on?

0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Not you, Gary B. - It will be, I'm afraid.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39I'm the Arts & Books sacrificial lamb.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43- You've decided all this in advance. - We have, I'm afraid.

0:02:43 > 0:02:48Sorted out who plays them. Who would you play from the Eggheads, then?

0:02:48 > 0:02:50I think...

0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Take on Barry. - I'll take on Judith, please.

0:02:53 > 0:02:58OK. Gary B and Judith playing our opening round, Arts & Books.

0:02:58 > 0:03:03To make sure there's no conferring, could I ask you both to go into the question room?

0:03:03 > 0:03:06So, Gary, do you like reading? You like novels?

0:03:06 > 0:03:10I do read quite a bit, but they're very specific genres.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14So I don't really have a vast scope of knowledge on this subject.

0:03:14 > 0:03:20- OK. Gary, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.

0:03:23 > 0:03:28First question, Gary. In 1987, the painting Sunflowers was surpassed

0:03:28 > 0:03:31as the most expensive artwork bought at auction

0:03:31 > 0:03:35by another Van Gogh work, featuring which flowers?

0:03:38 > 0:03:42My initial thought was tulips.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46Poppies or irises don't ring any bells.

0:03:46 > 0:03:51With no degree of certainty, I think I'll plump for tulips.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Tulips surpassing sunflowers. Eggheads?

0:03:54 > 0:03:56ALL: Irises.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58It is irises.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02Judith, have you hung it on the wall or put it away cos it's valuable?

0:04:02 > 0:04:07- It was bought by that Australian, I think, Bond.- Oh, Sunflowers.

0:04:07 > 0:04:12- Alan Bond.- Then he went broke and Sotheby's had to take it back.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14Irises is the right answer.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18Tulips is incorrect. Irises is what we were looking for.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22So, Judith, your first question. Mums Know Best

0:04:22 > 0:04:25is a best-selling cookery book based on whose television series?

0:04:29 > 0:04:31I don't think that's Delia or Jamie.

0:04:31 > 0:04:37I have never watched the Hairy Bikers. The title puts me off.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39I think it must be the Hairy Bikers.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42It is the Hairy Bikers. Well done, Judith.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Judith's in the lead

0:04:44 > 0:04:47after the opening exchanges.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Gary, you need to get one here.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52What is the title of the 2005 Ian McEwan novel

0:04:52 > 0:04:59that features the neurosurgeon Henry Perowne and is set over the course of one day?

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Again, nothing ringing bells. Um...

0:05:07 > 0:05:11It's going to be a complete guess, I'm afraid.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13I think I'm going to plump for...

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Monday.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19The Ian McEwan novel. Have you read it, Judith?

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Yes, I have. It's Saturday.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24It's called Saturday. Yes.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Gary looking up

0:05:26 > 0:05:29to the stars for inspiration.

0:05:29 > 0:05:34You've just got to grit your teeth and hope Judith gets it wrong.

0:05:34 > 0:05:39To which ancient poet are the words "omnia vincit amor" or "love conquers all" credited?

0:05:42 > 0:05:45I'm not at all good with ancient poets.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50I think it might be Ovid.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54And the answer is... You're happy, Barry.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Yes. I am.- It's Virgil.- Ooh!

0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Virgil.- Oh, dear. - When he wasn't busy in Thunderbirds.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Knocking up the old poems as well.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07That's good news, then. You get another question, Gary.

0:06:07 > 0:06:12Get this. Hope Judith gets another wrong and you're back in it.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15Which Italian phrase meaning "at first"

0:06:15 > 0:06:21is used in art to refer to a technique of applying paint in one session?

0:06:26 > 0:06:30They all kind of have the primo, prima, primatura thing.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36I think I'll probably go for...

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Alla Prima.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42Alla Prima is the right answer. Presumably means "all at once".

0:06:42 > 0:06:44KEVIN: "At first."

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Gary, this would be a revival.

0:06:46 > 0:06:53Cos you got your first two incorrect, you do need Judith to get this one wrong as well.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57Who wrote the books 1599, A Year In The Life Of William Shakespeare

0:06:57 > 0:07:00and Contested Will, Who Wrote Shakespeare?

0:07:05 > 0:07:08Oh, dear. I don't know that, either.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12I know Peter Ackroyd wrote a biography of Shakespeare.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15But it wasn't... I don't think it was called that.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22I think I'm going to say Jonathan Bate, and pray.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Jonathan Bate and pray!

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Cross your fingers.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30- The answer is James Shapiro. - Oh, dear.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33After you got that second one wrong,

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Gary, there wasn't much hope.

0:07:36 > 0:07:41You were staring up at the lights, planning how to make your way back,

0:07:41 > 0:07:44but you're back in it.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47It goes to sudden death. It's all square.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49I need to hear the answer from you.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53Can't offer you any choices, if you do need to guess.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57"If I were fierce and bald and short of breath

0:07:57 > 0:08:00"I'd live with scarlet majors at the base"

0:08:00 > 0:08:05is the opening couplet of an anti-war verse by which poet?

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Complete guess. I'll plump for...

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Shelley. Percy Shelley.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14Percy Shelley...is incorrect.

0:08:14 > 0:08:19- Any ideas, Judith? - Is it Siegfried Sassoon?- Yes, it is.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Siegfried Sassoon, anti-war poet.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27Another chance for Judith. Two gone begging already.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Lorenzo Ghiberti's

0:08:30 > 0:08:34Gates Of Paradise, one of the great masterpieces of Renaissance art,

0:08:34 > 0:08:38are bronze doors for the baptistery of which city's cathedral?

0:08:38 > 0:08:41That's Florence.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Have you seen them?- Yes. I have.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46- They are wonderful. - It's the right answer.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48The gates close on that revival,

0:08:48 > 0:08:50brief revival from Gary.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53You won't be in the final round. Judith will be.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56She managed to clinch the round.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:08:59 > 0:09:04What a dramatic round! Nearly came back, Gary, but not to be.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Snaefellas are missing one brain from the final round.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10The Eggheads are all still there.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12The next subject today is Science.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Who'd like to play this?

0:09:14 > 0:09:17I think Kevin. Kevin's our science expert.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21I wouldn't go that far, but I'll take that, Dermot.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25Kevin is one of the potential choices. Who would you like to play?

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Kevin, Pat, Barry or Chris?

0:09:27 > 0:09:31Go for either Barry or Kevin. I'll take Barry on, please.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35Kevin and Barry playing this one. It's science.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Could you both please go to the question room?

0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Kevin, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48Good luck, Kevin. It's Science.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50In a formula,

0:09:50 > 0:09:54which function is equal to speed multiplied by time taken?

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Speed multiplied by time taken?

0:09:59 > 0:10:04I would possibly rule out distance.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08So I'd imagine between momentum and acceleration.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13- I'd take a guess at momentum. - OK, momentum.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Speed multiplied by time taken is...

0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Distance.- It is distance? - It is distance.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21The more you think about it.

0:10:21 > 0:10:26It's how fast you're travelling and how long it takes you.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Barry, hyperglycemia is a condition

0:10:29 > 0:10:34in which there is an abnormally high concentration of what in the blood?

0:10:36 > 0:10:40One branch of diabetics suffer from hyperglycemia.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43They have too much sugar in the blood.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Sugar is correct.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Kevin trying it the Gary B way!

0:10:48 > 0:10:53He got his second one wrong as well. I wouldn't advise that.

0:10:53 > 0:10:58- No.- If a bubble is a thin layer of liquid surrounding a gas,

0:10:58 > 0:11:02what is the term for a thin layer of gas surrounding a liquid?

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Purely cos it's the other way round, I'd go with antibubble.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Is that your answer? - Yeah. Antibubble.

0:11:15 > 0:11:20It's correct! Well done. Just reversed it and got antibubble.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24What name is given to creatures such as the shortfin shark

0:11:24 > 0:11:29that produce eggs inside its body but give birth to live young?

0:11:33 > 0:11:37Viviparous creatures give birth to live young.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39"Ovo" means "egg".

0:11:39 > 0:11:42A creature that lays eggs then gives birth to live young

0:11:42 > 0:11:44must be ovoviparous.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Ovoviviparous.- Viviparous!

0:11:47 > 0:11:51- We're all struggling with that one. - There's an extra "viv".

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Ovoviviparous is the right answer.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Well done.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00You need to get this, Kevin.

0:12:00 > 0:12:05Brothers John and William Hunter were figures in which field in the 18th century?

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Um, Hunter. Hunter.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13Nothing's jumping out here.

0:12:13 > 0:12:17I've not heard of them with astrology or astronomy.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21Not to say they're not, but I'll go with anatomy, please.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Anatomy? Well done. Yes.

0:12:23 > 0:12:27You've got it. Hanging in there.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31Need to cross your fingers, though, for this one for Barry.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33"Tl" is the chemical symbol

0:12:33 > 0:12:38for which poisonous metallic element with the atomic number 81?

0:12:42 > 0:12:45I think thallium is "Th" and thulium is "Tu".

0:12:45 > 0:12:48But I'm pretty certain that "Tl" is Tellurium.

0:12:48 > 0:12:49It's not.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Oh! Gosh! - What is it, other Eggheads?

0:12:52 > 0:12:54- KEVIN: Thallium.- It's thallium.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00Well, it IS happening. Gone into sudden death, then, Kevin.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03Got to hear the answer from you.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05Named after its inventor,

0:13:05 > 0:13:09which type of hot air external combustion engine

0:13:09 > 0:13:14was conceived by a Scottish clergyman in 1816?

0:13:14 > 0:13:17I've no idea what it could possibly be.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19Um...

0:13:19 > 0:13:22A steam engine!

0:13:22 > 0:13:24That's all I could think of.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26It's incorrect. Do you know, Chris?

0:13:26 > 0:13:31- The Stirling engine, isn't it? - It is the Stirling engine.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Named after the Rev Stirling.

0:13:33 > 0:13:39Barry, the term "quasar", meaning a massive remote celestial object

0:13:39 > 0:13:41emitting large amounts of energy

0:13:41 > 0:13:45appearing to be like a star when observed through a telescope,

0:13:45 > 0:13:48is a contraction of which two words?

0:13:48 > 0:13:53They are some of the most violent objects that have been found in the universe.

0:13:53 > 0:13:57They are the contraction of the two words "quasi" and "stellar".

0:13:57 > 0:14:00Quasi-stellar, quasar. It's the right answer.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04Barry, you are into the final round. Only just.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07Another great revival

0:14:07 > 0:14:09but, again,

0:14:09 > 0:14:12no place in the final round, Kevin.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15Would you both please join your teams?

0:14:15 > 0:14:19Snaefellas, unlucky. They've lost two brains from the final round.

0:14:19 > 0:14:23I've got a feeling one of these Eggheads will go at some point.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Will it be this one?

0:14:25 > 0:14:30Next round is Sport. Who wants to play this? Gary S, Peter or Mat?

0:14:30 > 0:14:32That'll be me, Dermot.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35OK, Mat. No hanging around there.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Who would you like to play? Barry and Judith have played.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40You've got Kevin, Pat or Chris.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42We'll take Chris, please.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46OK. It's going to be Mat and Chris to play Sport.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50- Looking forward to it, Chris? - I have won the last two!

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Let's have Mat and Chris into the question room.

0:14:54 > 0:14:58Mat, what's your sporting knowledge? What interests do you have?

0:14:58 > 0:15:02I'm a big Liverpool fan, Liverpool Football Club.

0:15:02 > 0:15:06I play a bit of football myself and also a keen golfer.

0:15:06 > 0:15:11Do you get to see Liverpool much? Do you have to fly or get the ferry?

0:15:11 > 0:15:15Well, either of those, but I don't go as often as I'd like to.

0:15:15 > 0:15:21- Right, would you like to go first or second?- First please, Dermot.

0:15:24 > 0:15:30Listen to this! Alan Hansen made 26 appearances for which international football team?

0:15:32 > 0:15:37Alan Hansen made 26 appearances for which international football team?

0:15:37 > 0:15:40I should easily get this one, then!

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Being a big Liverpool fan! The answer's Scotland.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45Course it is. Alan Hansen and Scotland.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47Over which distance

0:15:47 > 0:15:53did Dwain Chambers win World Indoor Championship gold in 2010?

0:15:56 > 0:15:58We're talking indoors,

0:15:58 > 0:16:03so it's not going to be one of the longer distances.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06He's a sprinter.

0:16:06 > 0:16:10So an indoor sprint must be 60 metres.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13It's the right answer. Yes. 60 metres.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Second question, Mat.

0:16:15 > 0:16:20Which rugby union team plays its home games at the Madejski Stadium?

0:16:23 > 0:16:28OK. Rugby union's not really my cup of tea.

0:16:28 > 0:16:32The Madejski Stadium, I think, is the home of Reading Football Club.

0:16:34 > 0:16:38I'll go Harlequins.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41As you say, Reading Football Club. It's not Harlequins.

0:16:41 > 0:16:47It's London Irish. London Irish play their home games there.

0:16:47 > 0:16:53Chris, the Marina Bay street circuit is the venue for which country's Formula 1 grand prix?

0:16:56 > 0:16:58It's not Japan.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02Malaysia's at Kuala Lumpur.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05Singapore's a maritime kind of place.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08We've got the word "bay" in there, so Singapore.

0:17:08 > 0:17:12It's the right answer. Yes. Singapore.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14Again, the Egghead takes the lead.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Again, one of the Snaefellas behind.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Mat, what is the weight limit

0:17:20 > 0:17:24of the lowest division in the men's Olympic weightlifting competition?

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Well, I'm not sure.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34Well, I don't know the answer.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39We'll go down the middle again. 46.

0:17:39 > 0:17:4346 in Olympic men's weightlifting lowest division.

0:17:43 > 0:17:4956. It's 56 kilos, which means, Chris, three in a row!

0:17:49 > 0:17:52You'll be in the final round.

0:17:52 > 0:17:56No place for you, Mat. Would you come back and join your teams?

0:17:56 > 0:18:02I don't know about Snaefellas, but you've got nae fellas into the final round yet.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05Three brains gone. All the Eggheads are still there.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08The last chance now to knock an Egghead out.

0:18:08 > 0:18:12This is Film & Television, our last head-to-head before the final round.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Who wants this? Gary S or Peter?

0:18:15 > 0:18:18- I'll take that one, Dermot. - OK, Gary.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22Who would you like to play? Two remaining, Kevin and Pat.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25- My hero, Kevin.- Your HERO?

0:18:25 > 0:18:28A strong category for them both, so Hobson's choice.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32It's going to be Gary and Kevin, his hero, playing Film & Television.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35Into the question room, please.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Let's play the round, Film & Television.

0:18:38 > 0:18:42- You choose, Gary. Do you want to go first or second?- I'll go first.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48Good luck. Which Star Wars character

0:18:48 > 0:18:52is frozen in carbonite towards the end of The Empire Strikes Back?

0:18:55 > 0:18:58I hope I get this one right!

0:18:58 > 0:19:02It's one of my favourite films. I think it would be Hans Solo.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06Yes, it is. Hans Solo is the right answer.

0:19:06 > 0:19:11Which actor is known for the catchphrase, "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into"?

0:19:13 > 0:19:16Constantly said to Stan Laurel. Oliver Hardy.

0:19:16 > 0:19:20Oliver Hardy is correct, Kevin.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Second question, Gary.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26Which member of the Sex And The City cast

0:19:26 > 0:19:30appeared as Rusty in the 1984 film Footloose?

0:19:34 > 0:19:37Um, I don't know the answer,

0:19:37 > 0:19:42but I think, no disrespect, but Kim Cattrall's the older one

0:19:42 > 0:19:46of the four Sex And The City girls.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48So I would plump for Kim Cattrall.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51OK. Kim Cattrall.

0:19:51 > 0:19:55It's not. Eggheads, anyone know? Kevin, do you know?

0:19:55 > 0:19:57I've not seen Footloose.

0:19:57 > 0:20:02Because it's teenagers, it could be Sarah Jessica Parker.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05It is Sarah Jessica Parker. Your second question.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Which Top Gear regular

0:20:07 > 0:20:11became the presenter of a children's programme called Blast Lab in 2009?

0:20:14 > 0:20:16Well, I don't know this one.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19It's not likely to be Jeremy Clarkson.

0:20:19 > 0:20:25He does have blasts at people but not that sort of blast!

0:20:25 > 0:20:28James May has done a number of things

0:20:28 > 0:20:33to do with great inventions, great structures and all this.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35Rich... Ah! I don't know.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38I... Hm. No. 50-50.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40I'll have to try James May.

0:20:40 > 0:20:45Presenter of Blast Lab? It's the other one, Richard Hammond.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51That's good news for you, Gary. Your third question.

0:20:51 > 0:20:57What is the first name of DCI Barnaby's wife in the TV crime series Midsomer Murders?

0:20:59 > 0:21:03Haven't got a clue, Dermot, I'm afraid.

0:21:03 > 0:21:08- Don't watch 'em?- No. I'm afraid not. Not my cup of tea!

0:21:08 > 0:21:10I'm going to rule out Juliet.

0:21:10 > 0:21:15I think it's been put in there because it's Juliet Bravo.

0:21:15 > 0:21:20She was a TV detective.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23It's between the other two, in my mind.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Joyce and June.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Joyce.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29Joyce? Good choice!

0:21:29 > 0:21:31- It's the right answer.- Lucky!

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Kevin.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36Well, you now NEED to get this.

0:21:36 > 0:21:41Which 1980s US TV detective was played by Lee Horsley?

0:21:45 > 0:21:47I'm trying to visualise Lee Horsley.

0:21:47 > 0:21:53I think he was a mustachioed macho man. It's not Father Dowling.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59It's not Father Dowling. I've heard of Lee Horsley.

0:21:59 > 0:22:03I've heard of Matt Houston. I don't remember much about that.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06Benjamin Matlock's not meaning anything.

0:22:06 > 0:22:11- I have to go for Matt Houston. - Matt Houston.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Will Gary's hero bite the dust? No, he won't.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17It's the right answer.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Matt Houston, OK.

0:22:19 > 0:22:24You're doing very well against him, Gary. We go to sudden death again!

0:22:24 > 0:22:27Om Puri and Linda Bassett were both nominated

0:22:27 > 0:22:29for BAFTAs for their performances

0:22:29 > 0:22:36as a fish and chip shop owner and his wife in which 1999 British film?

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Well, I haven't...

0:22:38 > 0:22:42I don't remember anything about it. I've not seen it.

0:22:46 > 0:22:51I can't even guess, I'm afraid. I'll have to pass on that one.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54Nothing there. Do you know, Kevin, out of interest?

0:22:54 > 0:22:59- East Is East.- East Is East is correct. Did it win it?

0:22:59 > 0:23:02I can't remember. I wouldn't be surprised. It did quite well.

0:23:02 > 0:23:06No, it didn't. It was beaten by, what else was around...?

0:23:06 > 0:23:10- Probably American Beauty. - I knew you'd know.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13That wasn't your question. This is.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16Which former member of the British royal family

0:23:16 > 0:23:20appeared in a 1999 Red Nose Day special of the Vicar Of Dibley

0:23:20 > 0:23:25and an episode of Friends entitled The One With Ross's Wedding?

0:23:25 > 0:23:29I could be leaping in too soon,

0:23:29 > 0:23:33but that sounds as though it really should be Sarah Ferguson.

0:23:33 > 0:23:38Gary nodding along. He knows it is the right answer. Yes.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York is correct, Kevin.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44Bad luck, Gary.

0:23:44 > 0:23:49You won't be in the final round. Would you please join your teams?

0:23:49 > 0:23:55So this is what we've been playing towards, the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58Those who lost your heads-to-heads

0:23:58 > 0:24:00won't be allowed to take part.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03The two Garys, Kevin and Mat from Snaefellas,

0:24:03 > 0:24:06would you leave the studio, please?

0:24:06 > 0:24:10So Peter, you're playing to win the Snaefellas £8,000.

0:24:10 > 0:24:14Chris, Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin, you're playing for something which money can't buy,

0:24:14 > 0:24:17the Eggheads' reputation.

0:24:17 > 0:24:21I'll ask each team three questions in turn, all General Knowledge.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23Peter, the question is,

0:24:23 > 0:24:28is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?

0:24:28 > 0:24:32- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.

0:24:34 > 0:24:39Let's get you off to a good start, unlike the guys that went before.

0:24:39 > 0:24:46The American politician Harvey Milk served on the Board of Supervisors of which US city?

0:24:50 > 0:24:55I know they made a film recently about Harvey Milk called Milk.

0:24:55 > 0:25:00It's at this point I'm wishing I watched it!

0:25:00 > 0:25:03I will go for New York.

0:25:03 > 0:25:07New York for Harvey Milk on the Board of Supervisors there.

0:25:07 > 0:25:12Peter talking about the film called Milk, wasn't it?

0:25:12 > 0:25:15And it was set in San Francisco.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Sean Penn? - Yeah. Won the Best Actor Oscar.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23I told you not to get that wrong, Peter!

0:25:23 > 0:25:29It's a pattern you guys followed and mounted some remarkable comebacks in those head-to-heads.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32Let's hope it works out for you, Peter.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34See how the Eggheads do.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37In which national daily newspaper

0:25:37 > 0:25:40did the cartoon Flook run for over 30 years?

0:25:43 > 0:25:45In which national daily newspaper

0:25:45 > 0:25:49did the cartoon Flook run for over 30 years?

0:25:49 > 0:25:54- That's the Daily Mail, Dermot. - The Daily Mail for Flook?

0:25:54 > 0:25:59F-L-O-O-K. It's the right answer, Eggheads. You are in the lead.

0:25:59 > 0:26:03Chief Sitting Bull and Charlie Davenport are characters

0:26:03 > 0:26:05in which 1946 musical?

0:26:09 > 0:26:13Um, I don't know the answer to this.

0:26:13 > 0:26:17Um... Just trying to work things out to help.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19I know Porgy And Bess was Gershwin.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22I think all of these could have been

0:26:22 > 0:26:25around that same kind of era.

0:26:25 > 0:26:31- I'm going to have a go for Annie Get Your Gun.- Eggheads?

0:26:31 > 0:26:35- ALL: Yes. - It's the right answer. Well done.

0:26:35 > 0:26:39That's a must-get question, and you did.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42In which year was the kingdom of Italy officially proclaimed?

0:26:47 > 0:26:50In which year was the kingdom of Italy officially proclaimed?

0:26:52 > 0:26:54That's 1861.

0:26:54 > 0:26:581861 is the right answer, Eggheads.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00You need to get this.

0:27:00 > 0:27:06In which modern-day country is the area the Romans called Armorica?

0:27:08 > 0:27:15In which modern-day country is the area the Romans called Armorica?

0:27:15 > 0:27:17A-R-M-O-R-I-C-A. Armorica.

0:27:17 > 0:27:22Again, unfortunately, I don't know the correct answer.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25Just thinking of the word Armorica...

0:27:25 > 0:27:29Usually you can get a bit of a hint.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32I think I would have heard of it,

0:27:32 > 0:27:36I would have more of an idea if it was France.

0:27:36 > 0:27:40- So I'm going to go for Croatia. - OK, Croatia.

0:27:40 > 0:27:44For Armorica. It's not Croatia. Do you know, Eggheads?

0:27:44 > 0:27:47Roughly equivalent to Brittany in France.

0:27:47 > 0:27:51It is France. Which means, Eggheads, you've won.

0:27:55 > 0:28:00Well, Peter it happened almost... It did happen throughout the game.

0:28:00 > 0:28:08Those crucial first questions, getting them wrong. It's always so difficult then to win a round.

0:28:08 > 0:28:12Some of the guys staged remarkable comebacks, got into sudden death,

0:28:12 > 0:28:14and then got beaten by the Egghead.

0:28:14 > 0:28:18It was just the curse of the first question.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21Snaefellas, thank you very much for coming to play the Eggheads

0:28:21 > 0:28:27and telling us about the Isle of Man, we shall be there as soon as we can!

0:28:27 > 0:28:31The Eggheads have done what comes naturally. Their winning streak continues.

0:28:31 > 0:28:36I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £8,000. The money rolls over to the next show.

0:28:36 > 0:28:40Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:40 > 0:28:44Join us to see if a new team of challengers has the brains to beat the Eggheads.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47£9,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
