0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:10 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32And you might recognise them,
0:00:32 > 0:00:37as they have won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Hoping to beat them today
0:00:38 > 0:00:41are the Ards Ladies from County Down.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44This team are all members of a new rugby squad
0:00:44 > 0:00:46brought together by team captain Ross. Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi. I'm Ross, I'm 30 and I'm an architect.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi. I'm Pauline. I'm 28 and I work in events management.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I'm Donna, I'm 26 and I work in customer service.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Debbie, I'm 25 and I'm a night shift hospitality host.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi. I'm Rebecca, I'm 22 and I'm a receptionist.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Welcome to you, Ards Ladies. I am loving this team name.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10No puns, no plays on words as some other teams come up with.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13It's direct, it's to the point, but it is inaccurate, Ross.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Yeah, just a bit! - You being the case in point.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23- You're obviously not playing in the rugby team. You're the coach?- Yes, I am.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- So, are you a rugby player yourself? - I am, actually.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29I have been playing now for coming on 20 years.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Why did you get into women's rugby?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34I was asked to help out a friend who was playing for a university team,
0:01:34 > 0:01:38and I just kept falling from one position into another.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43It is certainly a unique challenge, guiding women to do what you say.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47So why have you decided take on the Eggheads today? Are you mad?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50It is always nice to show that rugby players can do
0:01:50 > 0:01:53something off the field as well as on it.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56OK, let's play the game. Let's see if you can take the Eggheads' money.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05But if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07So, Ards Ladies, the Eggheads have won their last 11 games.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11That means £12,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15That would buy a few tackle bags and stuff, wouldn't it?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18OK, let's play it, then, and our first head-to-head battle.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21I'm sure it will suit you all, but only one of you can play. Sport.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Who wants to play this? Sport.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- Who did we say was going to play sport?- It was me.- It was Pauline?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Go for Pauline? Pauline.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34OK, Pauline, you get to choose any Egghead you like at this stage, the opening round.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Who do we think?
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Chris.- We will go for Chris. - Chris, please.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Chris, you are playing sport.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45The last three sports rounds I have played, I have won.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Let's play the round, then. It's sports.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Pauline and Chris playing it from the question room, please.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56So, Pauline, we know about the interest in rugby.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59What about other sports, do you watch or participate in?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03I broke my arm playing football a couple of months ago.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06And I'm currently training for a triathlon.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Tell me about the incident with the broken arm.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- This was punching an opposing player?- Unfortunately not.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I was playing in a tournament, and within the first couple of minutes
0:03:15 > 0:03:20of the first match, I managed to fall over, fractured my arm.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24I didn't realise it was fractured, kept playing for the rest of the day
0:03:24 > 0:03:27until I realised that I wasn't able to drive home.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Then I had to go and get my arm in plaster for eight weeks.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Oh, dear. Are you sure rugby is the right sport to be taking up after that?
0:03:33 > 0:03:38- It is better than my luck at football, I suppose!- Too true.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Do you want to go first or second in this round?
0:03:42 > 0:03:47- I will go first, please. - First, Pauline, here is your question.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50What role did Michael Vaughan usually play in the England
0:03:50 > 0:03:54cricket team, batsman, fast bowler or wicketkeeper?
0:03:54 > 0:04:00Michael Vaughan. I saw a picture of him in the paper the other day.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Cricket wouldn't be my...
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Not one of your sports?- No.
0:04:10 > 0:04:16This is going to be a complete guess. I am going to go with...
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Michael Vaughan...
0:04:19 > 0:04:24I know what he looks like, and I think I can see him throwing a ball.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- I am going to go with fast bowler. - OK, fast bowler.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Throwing the ball may have been in his fielding skills as well,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33pretty quick at getting the ball back to the wicketkeeper,
0:04:33 > 0:04:37but he neither was a fast bowler or a wicketkeeper.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Batsman, a key batsman for England during those great Ashes years.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44And it means nothing there for you,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47and let's see what Chris does with his first question.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Which footballer scored five goals for Tottenham Hotspur
0:04:50 > 0:04:53in a Premiership match against Wigan in 2009?
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Well, Kevin'd know.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Who is still playing?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05I don't think Michael Owen is still playing for them.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- But I will go for Jermain Defoe. - Yes, that is correct.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Jermain Defoe who scored those five goals against Wigan.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15So, you have one tick for those five goals,
0:05:15 > 0:05:19and it means, Pauline, let's get you started with your second question.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Which golfer was knighted in 2009?
0:05:26 > 0:05:32- Again, golf wouldn't be one of my sports.- Oh dear.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Um... Sorry, guys.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39The only one I have heard of
0:05:39 > 0:05:42who would probably be reasonably high profile
0:05:42 > 0:05:47would be Nick Faldo, so I'm going to go with him.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Sir Nick Faldo is the right answer. Well done. You got it!
0:05:51 > 0:05:55OK, you are on the board, and a question about a board,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57a dartboard, now, for Chris.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59On a dartboard, which number sits at the nine o'clock
0:05:59 > 0:06:02position between the 8 and the 14?
0:06:09 > 0:06:13There is no rhyme or reason or logic to these things, is there?
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- 11.- Do you play?- No, not for years. - Well, you have got it.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22It is the right answer.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Yes, 11 between 8 and 14 in the nine o'clock position on the dartboard.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Which means you need to get this, Pauline.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32The Sinclair coefficients is a formula used to compare
0:06:32 > 0:06:35the ability of competitors in which sport?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Sinclair coefficients.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Sinclair. That sounds like the person who would have devised the theory.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Which again, I have no clue about.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55None of that even relates to anything in my brain.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Again, sorry in advance, guys, I'm going to have to take a wild guess.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- I am going to go with weightlifting. - Is that one of your sports?
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- Unfortunately not!- Not with a damaged arm. It is the right answer, though.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Well done. Sinclair coefficients.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Well worked out there, Pauline.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Really coming back very strongly indeed after a shaky start.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24But that shaky start means Chris can take the round if he gives me a correct answer here.
0:07:24 > 0:07:30How many points did Denise Lewis score in the heptathlon to win her gold medal at the 2000 Olympics?
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Hepthalon, well, it's...
0:07:40 > 0:07:45700 is 7,000. It's not 7,584.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49I don't think she'll have won with 5,584, so I'll go with 6,584.
0:07:50 > 0:07:536,584 won Denise Lewis a gold medal
0:07:53 > 0:07:55and won you a place in the final round.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00It's correct. Bad luck, Pauline, coming back really strongly there
0:08:00 > 0:08:04but slipped up at the first, which means you won't be playing in the final round.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Would you both come back and join your teams.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12First try to the Eggheads, knocked Pauline out, got very close there.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Chris has won four sport rounds on the bounce. Pretty good, that.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21OK, let's play out next category. This subject is Arts & Books.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Who'd like to play this one? Arts & Books, can't be you, Pauline.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Any of your friends there.- OK.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34I like the way you did that without speaking, Rebecca. Very elegant.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Now who would you like for the Eggheads? It can't be Chris.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- Not CJ.- No?- No. Which one looks less confident?
0:08:43 > 0:08:50- And not Daphne.- Not Daphne? - Yeah.- OK.- Barry.- Barry.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53After some pondering they've picked you, you look less confident.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- It's always the case. - Always picking on Barry.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Let's have Rebecca and Barry into the question room.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02So, Rebecca, how did you get into rugby?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Did you answer Ross's ad, did you play before?
0:09:05 > 0:09:09I did answer his ad. I was looking for pilates classes in Belfast.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Completely off track and fell into the rugby ad and thought, "why not?"
0:09:13 > 0:09:17I suppose there's a bit of stretching in rugby. Would you like to go first or second?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I'd like to go second, please.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Barry's in first and this is your question.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29In Shakespeare's Hamlet, over whose skull does Hamlet reminisce?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- "Alas, poor Yorick." It was Yorick's skull.- What's the next line?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39"I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest."
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Very good. Yorick it is.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46That's you on the board and your first question, Rebecca.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50What term is used to refer to the analysis of the metrical structure of verse?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I'm going to say...
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Oh. I don't think it's conjugation.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Mnemonics.- OK.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12No, it's not. It's scansion, not mnemonics.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16How would you have been with Yorick?
0:10:16 > 0:10:21- Do you know your Hamlet, your Shakespeare?- I know Macbeth.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23You might have struggled a bit.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Just out of interest, more often than not, the Challengers
0:10:26 > 0:10:30choose to go first, you put Barry in and he got that.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33He's in the lead and will have a bigger lead if he's correct here.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Who wrote the 2010 novel, The Pregnant Widow?
0:10:40 > 0:10:45That one's passed me by completely. Let's see. The Pregnant Widow.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52- On no basis, whatsoever, I shall say Alan Hollinghurst.- OK.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Alan Hollinghurst... The Eggheads not too pleased with you, Barry.
0:10:57 > 0:11:04- It is...- Martin Amis.- Martin Amis! So that really did pass you by.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Good news for you, Rebecca.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08If you get this it'll be all square.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12"Death be not proud though some have called thee
0:11:12 > 0:11:14"Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so"
0:11:14 > 0:11:18are the opening lines to a poem by which writer?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Something's drawing me towards Pope because it doesn't sound like Milton.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I'd say Alexander Pope.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Alexander Pope for "Death be not proud, though some have called thee
0:11:36 > 0:11:38"Mighty and dreadful, for though art not so."
0:11:38 > 0:11:40What do you think, Barry? Alexander Pope.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45- No, it's John Donne. - John Donne is the answer.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48It means Barry still has a lead
0:11:48 > 0:11:54from those first questions and will win the round if he gives me a correct answer here.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Who wrote the poem, The Wild Swans At Coole?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Oh, that's another one I don't know. This is fun.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Something is telling me it's Yeats, so I shall go for Yeats.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Yeats for the Wild Swans At Coole. It's the right answer,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15which means you have won the round.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19I don't get to put another question to you, Rebecca. Sorry about that.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21You won't be playing for the 12 grand.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29Now, as it stands, Ards Ladies, two of you have been knocked out of the final round.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32No Eggheads have gone. With two more head-to-heads, that would even it up
0:12:32 > 0:12:35if you're successful in both those in the final round.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Let's see what happens in our next round and it's Geography.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44Who'd like to play this, Geography? Ross, you can play Donna or Debbie.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- Want to you want to do, shall I go? - Are you happy to go?- Yeah, OK.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Who am I going against? - We'll have Debbie going.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Which Egghead would you like to play? It can't be Chris or Barry,
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- so that's Daphne, CJ or Kevin. - I'd say, Daphne.- Yeah, Daphne.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05I'll play against Daphne because I'll not feel too bad when I lose.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09That's not the spirit! Coach, have a word with her.
0:13:09 > 0:13:16I'm sure you'll do very well. Let's see how you do in the question room, Debbie and Daphne.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Debbie, have you decided what position you want to play in the team?
0:13:19 > 0:13:25No, I don't know anything to do with rugby so I'll put my faith in Ross. He can assign me a position.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- I see. Ross, you've got your work cut out there.- Yeah, a lot of pressure.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32All right, Debbie, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34I'll go second, please.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39OK, putting the Egghead in first.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43That means you get the first question, Daphne.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47The island of Tasmania lies off which coast of Australia?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54It's off the... Down the bottom, so it's south.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58It's that how an Egghead describes the points on the compass,
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- up, down, left and right? - No, it's the way I do it.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05OK, south is the right answer for Tasmania.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Debbie, in which country is the Suez Canal located?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17That's a tough one. I've absolutely no idea.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22I am going to say Libya.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27- OK, Suez Canal, it's not Libya. Daphne?- Egypt.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Egypt is the answer you wanted there.
0:14:30 > 0:14:36The Suez crisis centring around that. So, you have the lead, Daphne.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Second question for each of you.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43Which shipping forecast area lies in the English Channel between Portland and Dover?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Oh, God! I think...
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Yes, it must be. Wight.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01- You're just doing it on the geography there.- Yes.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Yeah, you can work out where Portland and Dover are
0:15:04 > 0:15:08and Isle Of Wight inbetween. It's the right answer, yes.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09You need to get this, Debbie.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14In the north of England the term "beck" refers to what type of geographical feature?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Oh, dear. Er, right...
0:15:21 > 0:15:27Beck, well, back home, when we say "beck" that would mean face.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Only it would be spelt different.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34So, what would be more like a face, a mountain, stream or valley?
0:15:36 > 0:15:43Er, dear. Well I suppose a river has a mouth, there's a mouth on a face.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I'm not gonna go for stream.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53- I'm gonna say valley. - OK, valley. Barry?
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- A stream.- You've messed around in plenty of them in your time, I bet.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02- I certainly have.- It's a stream.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05You were gonna say that with some rather interesting logic.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08It would have led you to the correct answer but you didn't get it.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12There's plenty of becks in the valleys but it is a stream.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14That means, I'm afraid,
0:16:14 > 0:16:20you won't be in the final round. Daphne's through. Would you both come back and join your teams.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Well, Ards ladies, you're 3-0 down. The Eggheads are all there.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28You've lost three brains from the final round. I'm sure out of adversity great things will come.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Last head-to-head coming up, let's get an Egghead out.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36This is Film & Television. Who'd like to play, Ross or Donna?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Shall I do it? That's dead on. - OK, Donna's keen to go.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Donna, keen to play and you've got CJ or Kevin here.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- I'll take on Kevin.- Kevin?- Yeah. - We'll have Kevin.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50OK, let's have Donna and Kevin into the question room, please.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55Donna, I guess when you're training with the team you'll miss a few of your favourite TV shows?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Oh, I know. - What do you like to watch?
0:16:58 > 0:17:03I'm more American soaps, kind of thing. Films, DVDs...
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Whatever's on the TV, really.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Ideally suited to the category! Would you like to go first or second?
0:17:10 > 0:17:11I'll go first, please.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16All right, good luck, Donna and first question.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20In which children's TV show do the characters often say, "Eh-oh"?
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Erm, I was in school when that came out.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- I believe it was the Teletubbies. - The Teletubbies?
0:17:30 > 0:17:35Yes, it's the right answer. I'm not going to say it again.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39A good start, that's what we wanted, straight on the board.
0:17:39 > 0:17:45Kevin, what's the name of dwarf-like people Dorothy meets in the 1939 film, The Wizard Of Oz?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51They were the Munchkins.
0:17:51 > 0:17:57There are various stories about how wild the actors playing them were.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01They apparently all got mass drunkenness at some point.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Lots of stories about the making of The Wizard Of Oz.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- Drunken Munchkins.- Yes.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Didn't I read somewhere that some of them were children
0:18:09 > 0:18:12in the background, obviously they didn't have CGI.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- There seemed to be dozens of them. - I don't know about that.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19A lot of myths have grown up around it as well.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23OK, well, Munchkins is correct. That's Dorothy meets the Munchkins.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Both successfully on the board there with the first question.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Donna, your second one.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34In the TV sitcom Gavin and Stacey, what's the name of Smithy's sister, played by Sheridan Smith?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- Do you watch it?- Yeah. Quite a lot.
0:18:45 > 0:18:52- I'm going to go for Rudi.- Rudi?- Yeah. I'm pretty sure but I may be wrong.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56OK, you're either right or wrong and you are right.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Yes, Rudi, well remembered. Rudi, Smithy's sister.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03OK, Kevin's second question.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08Who played the role of Miss Fritton, the headmistress, in the 2007 film, St Trinians?
0:19:11 > 0:19:16Yes, doing his Alastair Sim. It was Rupert Everett.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- Yep, Rupert Everett is correct and in the second one, as well.- Yep.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23So, two-all.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Good stuff, Donna. This might take you to the final round.
0:19:26 > 0:19:33Who played Jill, the ex-wife of Isaac, played by Woody Allen in the 1979 film, Manhattan?
0:19:41 > 0:19:48I've never seen the film before. I'm not too sure who it would be.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I'll go for...
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Jessica Lange. Yeah, I'll go for that.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- OK, it's Jessica Lange. - Lange, sorry.
0:20:02 > 0:20:08Woody Allen's wife, he plays Isaac and Jill his ex-wife is played by...
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- Kevin, is it Jessica Lange? - No, Meryl Streep.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Not a big part but it was the early days for her in films at that time.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20It is Meryl Streep. You hadn't seen it, so it was a guess,
0:20:20 > 0:20:24went down the middle. So, a chance for Kevin.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28What mode of transport is referred to in the title of the 2002 film,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31K-19, The Widowmaker, starring Harrison Ford?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38I believe it's meant to be a Russian variety, it's a submarine.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- Submarine?- Mmm.- I'm loving the question, mode of transport?- Yes.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47I often get the submarine to work myself and if not I take the tank!
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Yeah, of course.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54K-19 is a submarine, it's the right answer.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Well done, Kevin. Donna, you were beaten by an Egghead.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01As a result you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08This is what we've been playing towards, it's the final round,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11which as always is General Knowledge.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16So, Pauline, Donna, Debbie
0:21:16 > 0:21:20and Rebecca from Ards Ladies, would you please leave the studio.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25So, Ross, you're playing to win the Ards Ladies £12,000.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Kevin, CJ, Daphne, Chris and Barry - a long list.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34You're playing for something which money can't buy, that is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38I'll ask each team three questions in turn. This time the questions are all general knowledge
0:21:38 > 0:21:40and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Ross, the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Ross, first or second? - I'll go first, please.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53All right, best of luck, let's see if you can do it and take £12,000.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57It has been done before, one player on their own beating the Eggheads.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Let's see if you can match that. Your first question is this.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05Claire Rayner, born in 1931, became famous in which role?
0:22:09 > 0:22:13It's not really a name I'm familiar with, to be honest.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18If it's a big name I'd doubt that it's to do with dog training
0:22:18 > 0:22:20from that era.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25I would go with agony aunt.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Agony aunt, I think you put the Ards Ladies through some agonies.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34I think they knew it. It is the right answer, yes, agony aunt.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39OK, Eggheads, Let's Get Ready To Rhumble was a 1994 top ten
0:22:39 > 0:22:42single for two characters from which TV show?
0:22:45 > 0:22:49It's PJ and Duncan from Byker Grove, later became Ant and Dec.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- We think that's Byker Grove.- Byker Grove, Let's Get Ready To Rhumble.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58That's the one we were looking for. Back to you, Ross.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Who topped Forbes' magazine's 2010 billionaires list?
0:23:06 > 0:23:10I think there was a lot of stuff about it
0:23:10 > 0:23:13because it's the first year that Bill Gates hasn't topped it.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15That would rule him out.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- My guts tell me it's Carlos Slim. - OK, Carlos Slim?- Yeah.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26It's the right answer, well done. Eggheads, Mexican...?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Telecommunications.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34OK, Eggheads, the choroid is found in which part of the body?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- I think it's the eye.- Yeah?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43We are going for the eye on that one, Dermot.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48Good stuff, right answer. The choroid is in the eye. It's two-all.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Ross, if you get this right, you're in the driving seat and one hand on the 12 grand.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Let's see.
0:23:53 > 0:24:01The footballer Roger Miller scored four goals for which team in the 1990 World Cup at the age of 38?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I'm gonna go for Algeria. Pure guess.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12OK, Algeria, Roger Miller scoring four goals
0:24:12 > 0:24:15and became famous for his celebrations when he scored.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18He used to wiggle around the corner flag, didn't he?
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- Roger Miller scored four goals for, Eggheads, Algeria?- Cameroon.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Cameroon. Cameroon, it was.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29So, bad luck and instead of being in the driving seat,
0:24:29 > 0:24:33you're now staring defeat in the face. You've got to hope the Eggheads don't get this.
0:24:33 > 0:24:40Jean Carles, born in 1892, became well-known in the 20th century fashion world in what role?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- Spelling, please.- Surname.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47C-A-R-L-E-S.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50If I was making a guess I'd say perfumer.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I'm wondering... I've got something nagging me about Carles and shoes.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01I only know a few hairdressers and nothing around that time.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Perfumers, I know none.
0:25:03 > 0:25:10Early 20th century, how many famous hairdressers would there have been?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12My instinct is shoe designer
0:25:12 > 0:25:15but I'm happy to be shot down if anyone's got anything.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20- You thought shoe designer.- That was my instinct but I don't know.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- Anybody?- I'm happy to go with that.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29We have absolutely no idea beyond the vaguest inklings,
0:25:29 > 0:25:34- so we're going for shoe designer. - Shoe designer, Jean Carles.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39So, first instinct Daphne, perfumer and these two, shoe designer.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- Er, perfumer. It's the wrong answer. - There you go.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Daphne's first instinct would have collected the game for you.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49You're still in it, Ross.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54It's sudden death for the first time, which means we're removing the multiple choice element
0:25:54 > 0:25:57if it's all-square after three questions.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02Ross, the three buildings dubbed the Three Graces on the city of Liverpool's waterfront
0:26:02 > 0:26:07are the Liver Building, the Port Of Liverpool building and which other?
0:26:07 > 0:26:12The three buildings dubbed the Three Graces on the city of Liverpool's waterfront
0:26:12 > 0:26:18are the Liver Building, the Port Of Liverpool building and which other?
0:26:18 > 0:26:23- Now, have you been to Liverpool, Ross?- Just travelling through it.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- On the ferry from Belfast?- Yeah.
0:26:26 > 0:26:34I know the Port Of Liverpool building was refurbished last year by Belfast architects.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Some controversy.
0:26:41 > 0:26:48As to placing the third building, it would just be a pure guess.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51I'm trying to think of a third building, to be honest.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56The Town Hall?
0:26:56 > 0:27:01Is that what you're saying? It's better to say something than nothing.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04I have seen them landed but not this time, it's not the Town Hall.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- It is, do you know, Eggheads? - The Cunard Building. - The Cunard Building.
0:27:07 > 0:27:13The Cunard Building, making up the Three Graces of Liverpool.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Well, Eggheads, if you get this you have won the round
0:27:17 > 0:27:20and if you should do that then you've been a lucky set of Eggheads.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Here's the question.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27The Secret Policeman's Ball is the benefit show held periodically for which charity?
0:27:27 > 0:27:32The Secret Policeman's Ball is the benefit show held periodically for which charity?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Amnesty International? - Amnesty International.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37I've run three marathons for them, Amnesty International.
0:27:37 > 0:27:42Amnesty International, that is the correct answer. Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52Well, well, well, what a game. None of these games of Eggheads are ever predictable.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55It didn't go well, as I'm sure you will admit.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57All the team would admit in the head-to-heads.
0:27:57 > 0:28:02It looked like things would go badly in the final round but you were a whisker away from winning the money.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07It's not often you see the Eggheads getting questions wrong. Good luck in the scrum downs
0:28:07 > 0:28:10or whatever it is you're practising over the next few months.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Let us know about the results. We'll all come and watch.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Thanks, Ross, and the Ards Ladies. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:17 > 0:28:21and their winning streak continues. You won't be going home with the £12,000.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24The money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Eggheads, congratulations, who will beat you?
0:28:27 > 0:28:31Do join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35£13,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
