0:00:04 > 0:00:08'These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12'Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34You may recognise them. They've won some of Britain's toughest quizzes.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Taking on our awesome quiz champions today are the Lawn Rangers.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43This team from Liverpool all know one another
0:00:43 > 0:00:46through the Lawnmower Museum in Southport. Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hello, my name's Ian, I'm 51
0:00:49 > 0:00:51and I'm a researcher at the British Lawnmower Museum.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hello, my name's Robin, I'm 74
0:00:54 > 0:00:57and I'm a retired master locksmith.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01I'm George, I'm 64 and I'm a football stadium announcer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05My name is Phil, I'm 56 and I work in IT support.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hi, my name's Chris, I'm 46 years old
0:01:08 > 0:01:11and I'm a nurse manager in a hospice.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Welcome, Lawn Rangers. I'm glad to hear there is a lawnmower museum.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Tell me about it. There must be so many different kinds of lawnmowers.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Well, the lawnmower was invented many years ago
0:01:22 > 0:01:26by a gentleman called Edwin Beard Budding
0:01:26 > 0:01:32and we've tried to capture English mechanical engineering history
0:01:32 > 0:01:36by showing and restoring these lawnmowers.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- So what's the oldest one you've got? - Well, it's a little mower
0:01:40 > 0:01:44that was made in the time of Custer's last stand
0:01:44 > 0:01:49and it's designed to cut round gravestones, funnily enough
0:01:49 > 0:01:51and made by Greene's.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- So it's an American model, is it? - No, no, it's a British lawnmower.- OK.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00- But it's made by a company in London, Greene's.- I see.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- So they're all British lawnmowers? - Yes.- It is a British invention?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Absolutely. Yeah.- Goodness.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09So where is it? I know it's in Southport. How do I find it?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I've got a million questions about lawnmowers,
0:02:11 > 0:02:16not really from me, but our producer's keen on lawnmowing
0:02:16 > 0:02:21- so I'm sure he wants to get up there.- In Southport.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25It's quite close to the main shopping street in Southport, Lord Street.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- It's about half a mile away.- Do you ever demonstrate any of them?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Take them out to a nice patch of lawn?
0:02:30 > 0:02:34We don't like to. We spend a lot of time over the winter months
0:02:34 > 0:02:38restoring them and we spend a lot of time and money
0:02:38 > 0:02:41getting them back to where they were when they were new,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- so we don't really like to take them out.- OK, let's play the game!
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, it rolls over to the next show.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55The Eggheads have won the last ten games.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59That means £11,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- That would buy a few lawnmowers! - One or two.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05OK, our first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & Television.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Any one of you can play this opening round. Film & TV.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- George?- I think that was George. - George is the man.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16All right, George. And which Egghead would you like to mow down?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- I think it's got to be CJ. - It's got to be CJ. Sorry, CJ.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22CJ. Try and cut him down to size.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I could go on all day with these puns.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Let's have George and CJ into the question room, please.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32George, I keep mentioning our producer here,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35but he's a crazy Liverpool fan and look who we have,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38you're the football stadium announcer. Can you pretend
0:03:38 > 0:03:41it's Liverpool and Arsenal and you're welcoming the teams?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Yes. Good afternoon. Please welcome today's two teams,
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Arsenal and Liverpool.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Ah, lovely. OK. It must be a lot of fun, though.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53You must have met so many of the great players over the years.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Yes. I've got a lifetime of happy memories
0:03:57 > 0:04:01and some of the experiences are quite surreal, like today.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05You find yourself talking to people who once were your heroes
0:04:05 > 0:04:07and probably still are.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10And people forget, although I've worked there for a long time,
0:04:10 > 0:04:15I'm still a fan, so it's still a buzz going through the front door
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- every match day.- As I say, you'll be a very familiar voice
0:04:18 > 0:04:22to hundreds of thousands of people who've regularly attended Anfield.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27So, right, let's play Film & Television. First or second, George?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29I'll go first please, Dermot.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Right, George, first question. Geoffrey Hughes,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38who played Onslow in Keeping Up Appearances
0:04:38 > 0:04:40and Twiggy in The Royale Family,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42played which character in Coronation Street?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I'm not a Coronation Street fan,
0:04:48 > 0:04:54but being geriatric, I can remember when he was playing this character
0:04:54 > 0:04:57and I believe that was Eddie Yeats.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Eddie Yeats, yeah. Big mate of Stan Ogden in those days.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02It's the right answer, yes. Eddie Yeats.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05And your first question, CJ.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10Who wrote and directed the 2010 comedy film Cemetery Junction?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I'm afraid it got absolutely slaughtered by the critics.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21They hated it. But it was Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Is the right answer, yes. Well done, CJ.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Normally a sure-fire winner coming from those two. Didn't do too well.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Right. One apiece, then. And back to you, George.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35In which film was the actor Jim Broadbent
0:05:35 > 0:05:38required to perform the Madonna hit Live A Virgin?
0:05:41 > 0:05:46This is a tough one. I've not seen... Well, I've seen them on TV.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I didn't see them at the cinema. I'm sure it's not Iris.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56And I think in Little Voice, he didn't sing, he was the MC.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00So that leaves me with one choice. I think it was Moulin Rouge!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Ah, going the elimination route. Got the right answer. Well done.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Two to you, George. CJ.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Who played the title character in the 1997 film George Of The Jungle?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17This is one of those actors who's always confused me.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20He had one of the great burgeoning careers in Hollywood,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23appeared in some wonderful films like Gods And Monsters,
0:06:23 > 0:06:27and then in the last few years, has done nothing but absolutely dross,
0:06:27 > 0:06:31like Inkheart and the third Mummy film.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34They should've just left it at the first two. It was Brendan Fraser.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- I'm was trying to picture him. So he's in the Mummy films?- Yeah.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42OK. It's the right answer. George Of The Jungle, Brendan Fraser.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44So two apiece, all square.
0:06:44 > 0:06:51George, Ladybird Ladybird is a 1994 film by which director?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57This is ringing absolutely no bells whatsoever.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I'm going to have to make an educated guess.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Based on the premise that that was the time
0:07:04 > 0:07:07when Mike Leigh was at his peak,
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- I'm going to say Mike Leigh.- OK, Mike Leigh for Ladybird Ladybird.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15It's not, George. Do you know, CJ? It's only one out of two.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- I would've gone for Winterbottom. - No, it's Ken Loach.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Ken Loach, Ladybird Ladybird. OK.
0:07:21 > 0:07:27Well, nothing there for George and therefore a chance for CJ.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Who played Eve in the 1950 film All About Eve?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Well, Bette Davis is in it and she's usually the leading character
0:07:37 > 0:07:40and if the film's all about her, hopefully she was Eve,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- so I'll try Bette Davis. - OK. All about Eve. Is it, Eggheads?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- ALL: Anne Baxter. - They chorus Anne Baxter.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Oh, well.- Who am I to disagree? It stays all square.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51We go to sudden death in the first round.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55We may get into sudden death in the next rounds.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Just to explain, we remove those choices
0:07:59 > 0:08:01and I've just got to hear the answer from you.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04So here's your question. Which English comedian
0:08:04 > 0:08:07played Simon Garden, the title character,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10in the 2001 film The Parole Officer?
0:08:10 > 0:08:14There's some very old brain cells springing into life in my head.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Lee Evans.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Lee Evans.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Good guess, but it's not the right answer. No.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- 2001. CJ, do you know? - Steve Coogan.- Steve Coogan.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Talking about comedians and films that didn't do too well,
0:08:33 > 0:08:37we had Cemetery Junction, was this another? A lot of us don't know it.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Yeah. It had quite a nice idea for the script
0:08:40 > 0:08:43but he was doing quite a lot of films at that time,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- most of which were less than successful.- OK. Very diplomatic.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49In case you ever run into Steve Coogan.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51So, a chance again for CJ.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Which TV entertainer began his career
0:08:54 > 0:08:57with an act called Boy Bruce The Mighty Atom?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I can't think of anything else, so I'll try Bruce Forsyth.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Bruce Forsyth?- Yes.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09It's the right answer, CJ. Yes. Boy Bruce The Mighty Atom.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14Which means you've taken the round, just, CJ. Bad luck, George.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Doing very well there until you ran into The Parole Officer
0:09:17 > 0:09:20and you would've been an asset to the team for any sporting questions.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24But you're not playing the final round. Please rejoin your teams.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30As it stands, after the first round, the Eggheads are all there.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33The challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Our next subject is Politics. Who'd like to play this?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Politics. Can't be George, of course.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44It's going to have to be, I think... I think Robin's on this one.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48OK. Right. So, Robin, who's it to be?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I suggest Daphne.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Daphne, please.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56OK, Robin and Daphne, into the question room, then.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00OK, let's play the round. Robin,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10OK, first question, Robin, and it's Politics, of course.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Which term is used to describe a situation
0:10:12 > 0:10:15in which a state is governed by immediate divine guidance
0:10:15 > 0:10:19or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27I really don't know the answer to this
0:10:27 > 0:10:30so we've just got to look at the words.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34And theocracy connects with theology
0:10:34 > 0:10:37so I'm going to go for theocracy.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Well worked out. Yes, that's going the right way. One to you.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Good start. Daphne, who was the British prime minister
0:10:45 > 0:10:48at the outbreak of the Crimean War in 1950?
0:10:51 > 0:10:55I think that was probably Clement Attlee.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Attlee is correct, yes.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Robin, the British prime minister born Archibald Philip Primrose
0:11:03 > 0:11:06is generally referred to by which title?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Again, I've no idea.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19Purely because of Primrose, I'm going to go for Earl of Rosebery,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22because there's rose in the name.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- OK. It's the right answer. - THEY LAUGH
0:11:26 > 0:11:33I think it's a coincidence rather than any link. But, hey, why not?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Yes, Archibald Primrose became the Earl of Rosebery.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39And your second question, Daphne.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Jadranka Kosor
0:11:42 > 0:11:45became which country's first woman premier in 2009?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Oh, dear. Could you spell the surname?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54K-O-S-O-R.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Eeny-meeny-miney-mo again, I think.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Erm...
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Slovakia.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- It's not the right answer, no. - No?- Eggheads?
0:12:07 > 0:12:12- Croatia. - Croatia. Jadranka Kosor became
0:12:12 > 0:12:17the first female premier of Croatia in 2009. That's good for Robin.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21You've already got two, which might be enough to take you through,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24but this seals the deal if you get it. In the 20th century,
0:12:24 > 0:12:27there were 11 Republican presidents of the United States
0:12:27 > 0:12:30compared to how many from the Democrat Party?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35No idea again.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41- I'm going to go for the middle. Six. - OK, six Democrats.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Let me check with our presidential correspondent, CJ De Mooi.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Both Kevin and I were counting them and we both came up with six
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- so we hope he's right.- Seven.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- Oh, dear.- Seven. You've left one out. So there we are.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59A chance going begging there for Robin and, as I say,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02still got a chance to take the round if Daphne gets this wrong,
0:13:02 > 0:13:06but she takes us into sudden death if she get it correct.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09In which year was the Life Peerages Act passed,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12allowing women peers to sit in the House Of Lords for the first time?
0:13:16 > 0:13:191958.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23'58 is the right answer. We're into sudden death.
0:13:24 > 0:13:30So, Robin. Civil servant Clive Ponting was prosecuted in the 1980s
0:13:30 > 0:13:35after being accused of leaking information about which conflict?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I really don't know, but obviously, I'm going to try and make a guess.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42The...
0:13:42 > 0:13:46..first Israeli war, if you know what I mean.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51OK. A conflict in Israel is incorrect.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54No. It is, Daphne?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- The Falklands.- The Falklands War. - Of course. Going back to 1980s,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Clive Ponting. OK.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04Well, a turnaround has taken place.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Daphne has an opportunity here to win the round now
0:14:06 > 0:14:10rather than just save herself. Daphne, the joint heads of state
0:14:10 > 0:14:13of which independent country are the French president
0:14:13 > 0:14:17and the Bishop of Seu d'Urgell in Spain?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Andorra.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- Sorry.- Andorra, tucked away there in the Pyrenees.- Yes.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Between France and Spain. It's the right answer, yes.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32What a comeback that was! Staring ejection in the face,
0:14:32 > 0:14:36but instead it's Robin who goes out. Please rejoin your teams.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Lawn Rangers, getting a bit of a scragging so far.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Two gone from the final round
0:14:43 > 0:14:46and no Eggheads missing. Let's see if you can knock one out
0:14:46 > 0:14:49with our third head-to-head today. This subject is Music.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Who'd like to play this one. It can't be Robin or George.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58- I think it's got to be Phil. - Our music expert.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Right.- Who do you want?
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- So it's... - You've got Chris, Kevin or Judith.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- Let's go for Chris.- OK. Chris.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- I'm going for Chris.- OK, Chris. Phil and Chris playing this one.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Please take your positions in the question room.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19All right, Phil, would you like to go first or second?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22I'll go first, please.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Phil, first question. What were the first names
0:15:27 > 0:15:29of the American duo Hall & Oates
0:15:29 > 0:15:32who had a series of UK top 40 singles in the 1980s?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I'm glad to see this one cos I actually know the answer.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43That's Daryl and John.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46OK, Daryl and John is the correct answer.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Eggheads, which was which?
0:15:48 > 0:15:53- Daryl Hall.- And John Oats. - OK. So it's in that order, then.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55DERMOT LAUGHS
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Right. And first question, Chris.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Telephone was a 2010 UK number one single
0:16:01 > 0:16:03for Lady Gaga featuring which other singer?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Hm. I don't see it being Britney Spears somehow.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Or Beyonce. I've an idea it was Alicia Keys.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Alicia Keys singing on Telephone with Lady Gaga. Other Eggheads?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- It was Beyonce.- It is Beyonce.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Oh.- Beyonce, not Alicia Keys.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28So an instant lead for Phil.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31And let's see it get bigger, hopefully, here.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Gary Lightbody came to fame as the lead singer of which band?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41I'm going to rule out Elbow, cos I know it's not that one.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44I have no idea on the other two.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49I will go for Ash.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Ash. OK.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54No. But you're right about Elbow. It's Snow Patrol.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Gary Lightbody. OK, Chris.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Which Rodgers and Hammerstein musical
0:17:01 > 0:17:04features the song We Kiss In A Shadow?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Not The King And I, cos I don't think they ever get it together
0:17:11 > 0:17:14to that extent.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16And I don't think it's Oklahoma,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19which is upbeat about the founding of the state of Oklahoma,
0:17:19 > 0:17:23but Carousel is quite a dark tale about death and resurrection
0:17:23 > 0:17:26and redemption, so I'll go with Carousel.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31That's not the right answer. Daphne, you were looking very distraught.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- The King And I.- It is. Which, in a low-scoring round,
0:17:35 > 0:17:41is good news for Phil. You win this round with a correct answer here.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Which Russian composer
0:17:43 > 0:17:48created an opera based on the Pushkin work Eugene Onegin?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55It's not a strong subject for me,
0:17:55 > 0:17:59but, erm...
0:17:59 > 0:18:01..given the choices there,
0:18:01 > 0:18:06- I will go for Tchaikovsky. - Tchaikovsky.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08An attempt to get into the final round.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11That attempt is successful! It's the correct answer.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17You've mown one of them down. Chris is out. Please rejoin your teams.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22The Lawn Rangers looking a lot perkier after that victory.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25It's like reseeding a bald patch on your lawn or something.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29You're back in it. You've knocked an Egghead out. Two of you gone.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33It could be all square in the final round if you win this head-to-head.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37This one is Arts & Books. Two of you can play this. Ian or Chris.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Chris, I think. - Do you want me to take that?
0:18:40 > 0:18:44I'm obviously the last one, so I will take Arts & Books.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48OK, Chris. And who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- You can play Kevin or Judith. - What do you think?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- Judith.- Yeah, I think Judith.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I think we'll take Judith, please.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59OK, let's have Chris and Judith both into the question room, please.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Now, Chris, Arts & Books, would you like to go first or second?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I think I'll go first, please.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Good luck and here we go.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14In books by Enid Blyton,
0:19:14 > 0:19:17what's the name of the oldest boy in the gang known as the Famous Five?
0:19:19 > 0:19:24Oh, this is taking me back to books I read obviously as a child.
0:19:24 > 0:19:31And I don't really remember the answer to this so I will guess at,
0:19:31 > 0:19:33erm,
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- Frederick.- OK. Frederick, the eldest of the Famous Five.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40You read them as a child, CJ is still reading them.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43He hasn't finished the first one yet, but...
0:19:43 > 0:19:46I'm still trying to colour in, but I think it's Julian.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49It is Julian. Julian of the Famous Five.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Right. We did Waltons in a previous game,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54can we do all The Famous Five, Eggheads?
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- Julian, George, Timmy... - Wasn't Timmy the dog?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- Timmy's the dog. Dick, Anne. - It counted as one of the Five?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- He was one of the Five, yeah. - Dick and Anne.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08- Dick and Anne.- Dick and Anne. - OK. Thank you very much, Eggheads.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12First question to you, Judith. In which country was the writer
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Bernard Cornwell born in 1944?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I really don't know, erm...
0:20:20 > 0:20:24But I imagine it would be England.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29- Doesn't that seem a bit obvious? - Well, it's the first question.- OK.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32And it's meant to be easy, the first question.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35We don't normally do this, but do you want to change it?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- No, I want to stick with it! - It's the right answer.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- THEY LAUGH - It's the right answer, yes.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Bernard Cornwell, born in England. And, er, right, well,
0:20:44 > 0:20:48to have any hopes of winning this round, Chris, you need this one.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53Who wrote the collection of love poems Sonnets from the Portuguese?
0:20:57 > 0:21:01This is not a strong point for me at all.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I think you can guess that by I was the past person chosen.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08I will guess at
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Good guess! It's right.- Yay!
0:21:13 > 0:21:15OK.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Judith, the 1841 play London Assurance,
0:21:19 > 0:21:24revived at the National Theatre in 2010, is by which Irish playwright?
0:21:28 > 0:21:33I saw it the other day. Erm, it was wonderful, so funny.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37It's Dion Boucicault.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Dion Boucicault is the right answer.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42That's the problem with Eggheads, they get out and about.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Pleasure or research? You're a keen theatre-goer.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- I love going to the theatre, yes. - OK, right up your street, then.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Boucicault is correct. And it means you must get this, Chris.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Who wrote the novel The L-Shaped Room,
0:21:56 > 0:22:00upon which the 1962 film starring Leslie Caron and Tom Bell is based?
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Again, another guess, I'm afraid. Erm...
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- I will go for Muriel Spark. - Muriel Spark for The L-Shaped Room.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Judith?
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- It's Lynne Reid Banks. - It's Lynne Reid Banks,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23which means your hopes of playing in that final round
0:22:23 > 0:22:27have been dashed. I'm sorry, Chris, you won't be there. Judith will be.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34So this is what we've been playing towards. It's the final round,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36which as always is General Knowledge.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Those who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:38 > 0:22:40won't be taking part in this round.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44So, Robin, George and Chris, from the Lawn Rangers,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47and Chris from the Eggheads, will you leave the studio now, please.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53So, Ian and Phil, you're playing to win the Lawn Rangers £11,000.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Judith, Kevin, CJ and Daphne, you're playing for something
0:22:56 > 0:22:59money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02And as usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05This time the questions are all general knowledge.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07You are allowed to confer. So, Ian and Phil,
0:23:07 > 0:23:11are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- Ian and Phil, would you like to go first or second?- I think first.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Let's see if you can mow the Eggheads down.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25First question is, what name is given to an animal-shaped spirit
0:23:25 > 0:23:29such as a black cat, which serves as an attendant to a witch?
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Well, I think this is a pretty easy one.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- If you think it's easy. - I think we have to say familiar.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- It's got to be familiar. - It's not vernacular.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47It's not vernacular or regular. We'll go for familiar.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51- Daphne, is it? - Why are you asking me?
0:23:51 > 0:23:56- Of course it is. - Because CJ was about to.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00It is the right answer. Look, trying to get yourself off the hook, CJ.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Familiar is correct, yes.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08First question, Eggheads. Particle physicist Professor Brian Cox
0:24:08 > 0:24:11was the keyboard player for which chart-topping band
0:24:11 > 0:24:14before working on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20He was a member of D:Ream.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Things can only get better. - Apparently.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27It's the right answer, yes, D:Ream.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29OK, Lawn Rangers.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Solid start. Let's see if you can get the second one.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35In which English county is the village of Piltdown,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38the site of one of the most infamous archaeological hoaxes
0:24:38 > 0:24:40of the 20th century?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Sadly we are from the north so...
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Any idea where Piltdown Man lived?
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Mm. I remember reading about Piltdown man and his, er...
0:24:55 > 0:24:58I'm thinking Dorset.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00It does sound right, Piltdown in Dorset.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06- I should know this.- Do you want to take a chance on Dorset?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Yeah. Go for Dorset.- OK.- Dorset.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Dorset for Piltdown.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14You identified there the hoax, Piltdown Man.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19It's a question that gets easier the closer you get to the county.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24Viewers watching in this county are going, "How don't they know that?"
0:25:24 > 0:25:27It's not the right answer. It is, Eggheads?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- ALL: East Sussex. - East Sussex, Piltdown.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32The guys mentioned Piltdown Man. This was a kind of
0:25:32 > 0:25:35so-called discovery of a missing link?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Yes. That's what it was passed off as. Charles Dawson, yeah.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42What did they do? They faked-up these bones, these fossils?
0:25:42 > 0:25:45A lot of it was teeth. Teeth and bones and buried it.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50- Not very convincingly.- No. Then dug it up and it was quite a bit later
0:25:50 > 0:25:53that it was re-examined scientifically and someone said,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56"Hang on. That's come from a baboon and that's come from..."
0:25:56 > 0:26:00He went out one day and of a sudden, every day he had a new find.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05OK. Piltdown man. Piltdown is in East Sussex, not in Dorset.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08So a chance for the lead for the Eggheads.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10In which decade did Edmond Halley
0:26:10 > 0:26:12observe the comet that's now named after him?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- It's the decade where he was alive. - Yeah. The 1680s.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24- That was in the 1680s.- 1680s.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27OK. And how often does it come past the earth?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- Isn't it 76 years?- 76 years.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32So we can work it out but we haven't got the time.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35I'm sure you know when it's next appearing.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40- Around 2050. Something like that. - Well, you have the lead, Eggheads.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45And it means you've got to get this one, Ian and Phil, to stay in it.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Which African country's national football team
0:26:47 > 0:26:50has the nickname the Super Eagles?
0:26:54 > 0:26:59The Super Eagles. I wouldn't think it was Ethiopia.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03I don't think it's those guys. It's more like, erm...
0:27:04 > 0:27:09- It's either... - Cote D'Ivoire is quite small.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- Yeah.- Nigeria, probably. - I think Nigeria sounds the one.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- Plausible.- Yeah. I think we're going to go with Nigeria.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Nigeria.- The Super Eagles, you say,
0:27:20 > 0:27:24are the national football team of Nigeria and you're correct.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Yes! You're still in it.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29But a slip up on Piltdown
0:27:29 > 0:27:32gives the Eggheads a chance to pinch the game.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Eggheads, Pi is what number letter of the Greek alphabet?
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Pi is what number letter of the Greek alphabet?
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- I think it's the 16th.- There's only 24.- Yeah. I think it's 16th.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48I think it's the 16th.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52- It was the 16th.- How many letters in the Greek alphabet?
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- 24.- I'm not going to bother listing them all.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56THEY LAUGH
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Pi is the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03It's the right answer. Eggheads, you've won!
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Well, it's the kind of question that is difficult for mere mortals,
0:28:11 > 0:28:16such as us, but Eggheads gobble them up. It's how it fell for them there.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Thanks very much, Lawn Rangers, not to be on the day,
0:28:18 > 0:28:22but great fun having you here. But the Eggheads have done
0:28:22 > 0:28:25what comes naturally to them. Their winning streak continues.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £11,000.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30That means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Eggheads, congratulations! Who will beat you?
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:36 > 0:28:39have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. £12,000 says they don't.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Until then, goodbye.
