0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is: can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 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 > 0:00:40And challenging our resident quiz champions today are Minted,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42from Kendal.
0:00:42 > 0:00:49Taking their name from the famous mint cake from their home town, they normally quiz against one another
0:00:49 > 0:00:52at the Eagle and Child Pub. Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Andrew, I'm 52, and I'm an optical retailer.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Graham, I'm 22, and I'm a fresh food manager.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Janice. I'm 64 and I'm a company secretary.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Hello, I'm Helen, I'm 69, and I'm a retired primary school teacher.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Hi, I'm Avril, I'm 71, and I'm retired.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Nice team name, straightforward. Do you partake of the mint cake?
0:01:17 > 0:01:23- Or is it for tourists? - Local people do partake of it and it's very, very good?
0:01:23 > 0:01:30- Are there different people who make it?- There's at least three firms, but they're all very similar.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34They fight over the trade and all seem to do very well.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- Very good up the mountains. - Yes, but a little bit high in sugar.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40To be taken in moderation!
0:01:40 > 0:01:46Tell me about the quizzing. The Eagle and Child pub. That's scary. What's the symbol outside?
0:01:46 > 0:01:51- An eagle and a child. - Carrying away a child?- Yeah, a baby.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Is this Greek mythology or something?- Biblical, isn't it?
0:01:55 > 0:02:01- Do you know, guys? - No, I don't know how it was named, but we go on a Thursday night
0:02:01 > 0:02:07and we quiz and enjoy ourselves. Not only me, but we decided between us we'd have a go
0:02:07 > 0:02:10to try to beat these good people.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Best of luck, Minted. Let's hope you're minted after this.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24The Eggheads have won the last 13 games,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28so that means £14,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:28 > 0:02:34Your first head to head, your first attempt to knock one out, comes in Arts and Books.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40It's not my favourite subject, but I will have a shot at it.
0:02:40 > 0:02:46- Helen.- Helen, OK. Helen. - Who would you like to go against? - You can have any Egghead you like.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- Try Chris? - What do you think?- Yeah.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Shall we play against Chris? - Helen and Chris.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58Let's have Helen and Chris into the Question Room, please.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- Helen, would you like to go first or second?- I'd like to go first.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13Best of luck. First question. In the popular children's story books by Dick Bruna,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15what type of creature is Miffy?
0:03:18 > 0:03:24Well, these are books that are fairly familiar to me. I know it's not a giraffe.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29- Miffy is a rabbit.- Did you have the books in the school?
0:03:29 > 0:03:34- We did, yes.- Miffy the rabbit. Well done, right answer.
0:03:34 > 0:03:40Chris, the world-famous Metropolitan Museum of Arts, founded in 1870, is located in which city?
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- That's in New York, Dermot. - It's the right answer, yes.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Helen,
0:03:49 > 0:03:55as well as being a writer, the Russian Anton Chekhov had a parallel career as what?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Mm. That's something I have never heard about.
0:04:02 > 0:04:08I can't imagine he was a diplomat. I don't know why, but...
0:04:10 > 0:04:16- I think I'll go for architect. - Architect, Chekhov. He had a parallel career
0:04:16 > 0:04:19and was also qualified as a doctor.
0:04:19 > 0:04:25The other one you were thinking of because you ruled out diplomat.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27But you didn't get it.
0:04:27 > 0:04:34Let's see how Chris does. When We Are Married, first performed in 1938, is a play by which writer?
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Oh, that's a fairly broad northern piece. It's by JB Priestley.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47It is, yes. JB Priestley. So you have the lead.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Helen, you have to get this.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54In which year was art's Turner Prize not awarded
0:04:54 > 0:04:58as the American investment company who sponsored it went bankrupt?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Ohh... Right.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I've never even heard of them, the sponsors.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11It's going to be a complete guess.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I'm going to say 1988.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18I know it's a guess, but it's the wrong one. It's the middle one.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23It's 1990 when it wasn't awarded. A real toughie, that.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27It means we end the round because Chris has got two correct
0:05:27 > 0:05:32and you can't match that even with another question.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36So it means Chris will play in the final round. Helen won't.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Both please rejoin your teams.
0:05:39 > 0:05:45First blow to the Eggheads. It means Minted have lost one brain from the final round.
0:05:45 > 0:05:52The Eggheads are all still there. We'll move on to our second category. This is Geography.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Who'd like to play this?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- That'll be me.- It's Andrew. - OK, Andrew.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02And who would you like to play?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- Who do you think? - Do you think Daphne?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08He fancies you, Daphne.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13- Oh. Fancy Daphne? - So they tell me. Sorry, Daphne. - Andrew and Daphne, then,
0:06:13 > 0:06:17are heading for the Question Room right now.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- Now let's play this round. First or second? - I'd like to go first, please.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30OK, Andrew, good luck. Sutton Coldfield is part of which city?
0:06:32 > 0:06:37I've been once or twice to watch car rallying there.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40It's not Manchester or Nottingham. It's Birmingham.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Been there, seen it, seen the cars. Yes, it's the right answer.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Daphne, what name is given to the tidal phenomenon
0:06:50 > 0:06:56where the incoming tide forms a wave up a river against the direction of the current?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Well, I live not far from the Severn
0:07:01 > 0:07:07and you always see the Severn bore on the news, so it's bore.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- Bore.- Yes.- People surf on it, don't they?- Yes.
0:07:11 > 0:07:17- It's not very large!- It happens quite often, more than once a year?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Is it on equinoxes?- I think so.
0:07:19 > 0:07:25- Spring tides.- Yeah. The Severn bore amongst the bores.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Back to you, Andrew.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32Incheon is a port city 25 miles from which capital city?
0:07:34 > 0:07:38I'm going to rule Ankara out because it doesn't sound
0:07:38 > 0:07:43that kind of a language derivative, so it's either Seoul or Taipei.
0:07:43 > 0:07:49- I don't know. I'll guess Seoul. - South Korea, right answer. Well done, Seoul.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Daphne, you were at the Olympics.
0:07:52 > 0:07:58Yes, and the Incheon landings took place during the Korean War.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00OK. But not your question.
0:08:00 > 0:08:07Here is your second question. Which arm of the Mediterranean Sea is immediately north of Corsica?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I don't know where Corsica is.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19The one I associate with being at the top is...
0:08:19 > 0:08:21the Ligurian?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25It's either that or Tyrrhenian.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I'm going for Ligurian.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Ligurian Sea. North of Corsica. Other Eggheads?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Absolutely.- It's the right answer.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- Yes.- Oh!- OK, two each.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Andrew's going really well.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45Merthyr Tydfil lies just to the south of which national park?
0:08:49 > 0:08:53It's in the south of Wales, so not Snowdonia.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58It's not out on the coast, so it must be the Brecon Beacons.
0:08:58 > 0:09:05- Once you identified it in the south, south of the Pembrokeshire coast would be underwater!- Probably.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08So you got it. Well done. Brecon Beacons.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Right. Daphne, yes.
0:09:13 > 0:09:20Gnaw those nails! See if you get this. In which country is the city of Medicine Hat located?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Oh! Canada.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30- Canada?- Yes.- Have you been there on your world travels?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34No, but we were going to Canada once and I did look at the map.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Medicine Hat is in Canada. Right.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39All square. Sudden death looms.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44The first question is to Andrew. You won't see any more choices.
0:09:44 > 0:09:50The King Fahd Causeway connects Saudi Arabia to which island kingdom?
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Em...
0:09:52 > 0:09:57- I don't really know, but I'll guess Bahrain.- Good guess.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Right answer, yes. Bahrain.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03A chance of getting through to the final round, then.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08The River Crouch flows entirely through which English county?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Oh, dear.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I think this is, "Bye-bye, Daphne".
0:10:12 > 0:10:16I have not heard of it.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22I'm trying to think if I can think of anything with Crouch. Crouch End.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Crouch... No.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27I don't know. Essex.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Give me strength! It's the right answer, yes.
0:10:34 > 0:10:40- I'm really... - Any idea why you chose that? - I have absolutely no idea, honestly.
0:10:40 > 0:10:46- Well, well, well.- All I can do is apologise.- I thought you were going out.- So did I.- No, no, no.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Another classic Daphne guess.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50OK, Andrew, on it goes.
0:10:50 > 0:10:57Home to a vast array of wildlife, the Selous game reserve is in which African country?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Again I don't know, Dermot, but I would guess Uganda.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Uganda.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Very close, but it's not Uganda. It is... Other Eggheads?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Daphne we'll ask first.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16- Tanzania?- I gave you a clue. Yes, it's Tanzania.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Daphne,
0:11:18 > 0:11:24which French city on the Isere river in the Rhone Alp region is known for its high-tech industry
0:11:24 > 0:11:30and is home to a series of laboratories including the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Grenoble?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37It's the right answer, yes.
0:11:37 > 0:11:43Grenoble is correct. What a round of quizzing there! Apologise now, Daphne.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I'm really sorry!
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- Andrew is really good at this. You did fantastically.- Thank you.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53But you ran into Daphne on spectacular form here.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Bad luck, Andrew. You'll not be in the final round.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Both please rejoin your teams.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05As it stands, Minted have lost two brains from the final round. All the Eggheads are still there.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10Two head to heads coming up, so two Eggheads could go.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Our next category is Film and TV.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Who'd like to play this one?
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Graham, Janice or Avril?- Graham.
0:12:18 > 0:12:24- Graham, you fancy it?- Yep. - OK, who would you like to play? Let's work up the line there.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Barry, Pat or Judith?- Judith?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Yes.- Judith, please.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34OK, it's decided. Graham and Judith to play Film and Television.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43Graham, your dad tried his best there. Let's see if you can go one better.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48- Let's get you in the final. First or second?- Can I go first, please?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Good luck, Graham.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55First question. What is the surname of Freddy,
0:12:55 > 0:12:59the main recurring character in the Nightmare On Elm Street films?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Well, Myers is the surname in, I think, Halloween.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I'm not sure where Thorn's from,
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- but I'll go for Krueger. - Sounds like you've seen a few!
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Yeah.- It's the right answer. Freddy Krueger.
0:13:19 > 0:13:25First question to Judith. What is the name of the Doctor's assistant played by Karen Gillan,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28who first appeared in Doctor Who in 2010?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34I love the alternatives.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39- But she was Amy Pond. - Yeah, I like Libby Ocean.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Amy Pond is correct, yeah.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Graham,
0:13:43 > 0:13:50Isla Nublar, a fictional island off the coast of Costa Rica is the setting for much of the action
0:13:50 > 0:13:53in which 1993 blockbuster film?
0:13:58 > 0:14:03Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is in Germany and things like that,
0:14:03 > 0:14:07so it's not that. Cliffhanger I haven't seen,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10but Jurassic Park was 1993. Jurassic Park.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- You sound like you like your films. - I do, yeah.- Got lots of DVDs?
0:14:14 > 0:14:19- A lot, yeah.- Movie channels?- Yeah. - Jurassic Park is correct.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Two film questions there to start for Graham really suiting him.
0:14:26 > 0:14:32Another film question going now to Judith. What type of creature is the title character
0:14:32 > 0:14:35in the 1957 Disney film Old Yeller?
0:14:37 > 0:14:42Well, I think you can have horses called "yeller horses".
0:14:42 > 0:14:45American horses are sometimes called "yeller horses".
0:14:45 > 0:14:47So I'm going to say "horse".
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- OK, Old Yeller is a horse, you think?- Yeah.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Barry is disagreeing violently.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Not violently, but it's a dog. - A dog.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- It's a dog?- You've seen the film? - I have.- Good and wholesome?- Yes.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05- A tear-jerker.- A 1957 Disney film about a dog. That's looking good
0:15:05 > 0:15:08for you, Graham, but let's not count chickens.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Get this and you're guaranteed a place in the final round.
0:15:12 > 0:15:19Which English actor joined the cast of Coronation Street in 2009 as Lewis Archer, a male escort?
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Unfortunately, Coronation Street is not really my thing,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28so I'm going to have to guess
0:15:28 > 0:15:30at Nigel Havers.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Guess at Nigel Havers, OK.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36You should see the look on the faces of your team-mates.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39You don't know what that look is.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Let me tell you it is a look of unalloyed joy and celebration.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- You are through to the final round. - APPLAUSE
0:15:47 > 0:15:52No other questions for Judith. You've put her out already.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59That's positively perked you all up, that victory by Graham.
0:15:59 > 0:16:05It's like a tired rambler biting into the Kendal Mint Cake. A shot of adrenaline and sugar.
0:16:05 > 0:16:10The Eggheads have lost their first brain from the final round. Minted have lost two brains.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15But it can be all square in that final round if you win our last head-to-head.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19And this one is Sport. Who'd like to play this?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- Janice or Avril.- I should do it.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24You'll probably know more than I do.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- So it's Janice?- Yes, it's me. - Who are we going to play?
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Pat or Barry.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- What a good choice! - You choose.- Um...
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- I'd go with Barry. - Yeah? Barry, please.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41OK, Janice and Barry into the question room, please.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45OK then, Janice, let's try and even it up in that final round.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:16:51 > 0:16:58Best of luck. Shane Watson and Mitchell Johnson have represented Australia in which sport?
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Well, I go to Australia plenty,
0:17:05 > 0:17:09but I'm sure I've never heard of these two.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13But I don't think I've heard of them in cricket or tennis,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16so I'll have to go for rugby union.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Shane Watson and Mitchell Johnson
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- have played for Australia in the cricket team.- Oh, dear.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Not rugby union. Let's see how Barry does with his first one.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31In which sport can a competitor score a victory using a technique known as oshidashi?
0:17:34 > 0:17:39"Oshidashi" sounds very Japanese, so the answer has to be sumo wrestling.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Would you care to demonstrate the technique?
0:17:43 > 0:17:47I think it's when you sidestep your opponent out of the ring.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52- It's when you grab his underpants. - Something like that.- Those nappies?
0:17:52 > 0:17:57- Mawashi.- Oshidashi is in sumo. That's the right answer.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59OK, right, Janice...
0:17:59 > 0:18:04The Augusta National Golf Club which hosts the Masters is in which US state?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Right, well, um...
0:18:09 > 0:18:14Montana's too high up, so it's either Illinois or Georgia.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18And I am going to go for Georgia.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Good on you. Right answer, yes, Georgia.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24OK, Barry...
0:18:24 > 0:18:30The British athlete Jessica Ennis became a member of which athletics club in 1997?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36She's our fantastic heptathlete.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Hopefully, she will win a gold in the Olympics.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I think it's the City of Sheffield Athletics Club.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46- South Yorkshire? - I'm hoping so.- Ah!
0:18:46 > 0:18:49A Yorkshire lass, a Yorkshire club. That's right.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52City of Sheffield is correct.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54It now means that you need
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- to get this one right, Janice.- OK.
0:18:57 > 0:19:04For which club did Zinedine Zidane play from 2001 to 2006 before retiring from professional football?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10I don't think it's Bordeaux.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14When you say that, it's usually the one you should pick.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18I'm not going to go for Juventus. I'm going to go for Real Madrid.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Very good. It's the right answer.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Well worked out, Janice. He didn't cover himself in glory
0:19:25 > 0:19:29because the World Cup Final was his last game in 2006
0:19:29 > 0:19:31and he got the early bath.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34He head-butted Materazzi, I think.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Yeah, head-butted Marco Materazzi of Italy.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- He was very rude to him.- And got sent off. Well, there we are.
0:19:42 > 0:19:48Keeping yourself in it, Janice, but Barry, let's see if he administers the coup de grace here.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54Olympic-sized swimming pools must be 50 metres long and how many metres wide?
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- That's a good question.- Yeah, it is good, isn't it?- Let me think.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03There's eight lanes in an Olympic swimming pool,
0:20:03 > 0:20:06so how many metres would you want for a lane?
0:20:06 > 0:20:0920... 20 sounds too little
0:20:09 > 0:20:11and 30 sounds too big.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- I'll go down the middle at 25. - Middle lane swimming, eh?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Middle lane, it's the right answer.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Yes, 25, he's worked it out, you Egghead, you! Bad luck, Janice.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25You got into your stride, but it was too late
0:20:25 > 0:20:29after tripping up on question one. But a big smile on your face.
0:20:29 > 0:20:35I know you're wishing Avril and Graham all the best there in that final round.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Would you both please come and join your teams?
0:20:39 > 0:20:45This is what we've been playing towards - the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Those of you who lost your head-to-heads can't take part,
0:20:48 > 0:20:54so Andrew, Janice and Helen from Minted and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio now?
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Well, Graham and Avril, you are playing to win Minted £14,000.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something money can't buy -
0:21:04 > 0:21:08the Eggheads' reputation. You were wondering!
0:21:08 > 0:21:14I'll ask each team three questions in turn, all general knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19Graham and Avril, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- Do you want to go first or second? - First?- First, please.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Good luck. All general knowledge. Let's see how it goes for you.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Khoisan languages, with their characteristic clicking consonants,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38come from which continent?
0:21:40 > 0:21:45- It's a real tongue-twister. You say that quickly!- I haven't got a clue.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48"Khoisan" is K-H-O-I-S-A-N.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52I don't think it's Australia or Asia. I think Africa.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57- Asia is more soft.- Yeah.- I don't think it's Asia. Go Africa then.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Well, we're not 100% sure, as you realise,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- but we think it's Africa.- Africa...
0:22:02 > 0:22:07Clicking, seen it on documentaries. It's the right answer. Well done.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Africa - Khoisan languages.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14And Eggheads, what name is given to the priests in pre-Roman Gaul
0:22:14 > 0:22:19who, according to Pliny the Elder, worshipped in groves and cut mistletoe
0:22:19 > 0:22:22from oak trees with golden sickles?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26They were druids, Dermot.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Do you put the old sheet on and go down to Stonehenge?
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Not as often as I'd like. - My granddad was a druid.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Did he know Ken Barlow? - LAUGHTER
0:22:36 > 0:22:41Apparently, it used to be just an excuse for a drinking club.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44OK, "druids" is the right answer.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48A good start from Minted there, Graham and Avril. Keep it up.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53Second question. The rood is an old British unit for a quarter of a what?
0:22:55 > 0:22:59The rood... R-O-O-D is how it's spelt.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03The rood is an old British unit for a quarter of a what?
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I'm fairly sure it's a measure of distance.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11I don't think it's a liquid or weight.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- So it would have to be an acre, wouldn't it?- Go for it.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- Acre?- A quarter of an acre is a rood...?
0:23:19 > 0:23:23It's the right answer. Yeah, well done. A rood.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27- 40 square poles make a rood. - How many?- 40 square poles.
0:23:27 > 0:23:33- 40 square poles make a rood and a rood is a quarter of an acre. All gone now.- Oh, yeah.
0:23:33 > 0:23:40Eggheads, what name did US pilots during World War Two give to unidentified flying objects?
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Used as a name for a rock band, Dave Grohl's rock band.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53- They were the Foo Fighters.- Hats off there to the question setter.- Yeah.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Nicely couched there, those options, Foo Fighters, Metallicas or AC/DCs.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00All bands there and Foo Fighters...
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Do we know why they call them Foo Fighters - F-O-O?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- Well...- UFO.- UFO?- Yeah.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10No, UFO came later. It was from "feu", the French for "fire".
0:24:10 > 0:24:12They appeared as balls of fire
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- that would appear and disappear.- OK.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Well, Foo Fighters is correct
0:24:18 > 0:24:22and it stays all square after the second question.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Third question for you, Minted.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28A correct answer here puts you closer to winning the £14,000.
0:24:28 > 0:24:34Queen Alia International Airport is an important transport hub in which Middle Eastern country?
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Queen Alia - A-L-I-A.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Queen Alia International Airport is an important transport hub
0:24:45 > 0:24:48in which Middle Eastern country?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Jordan has a king, hasn't it?- Mm-hm.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Has it always had a king?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56It's had a king for as long as I can remember,
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- which is quite a long time. - A very long time.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02So I'm leaning towards Jordan.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06You are leaning towards Jordan, even though it's had kings?
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- It's had kings, which means they've got a queen.- Yeah, good point.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Rather than sheikhs or...- Yeah.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17I honestly don't have a clue, so go on - Jordan.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Again we're not sure, but we're going to go for Jordan.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Jordan. I heard you, Avril, doing that on a very Egghead-like basis,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28just working on a royal family.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Got a queen, got a king - that's Jordan. It's the right answer, yes.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Well done.
0:25:34 > 0:25:40And well...getting closer to the £14,000. Eggheads, you must get this correct.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45What type of architectural feature is a baldachin?
0:25:47 > 0:25:51What type of architectural feature is a baldachin?
0:25:51 > 0:25:56B-A-L-D-A-C-H-I-N. Baldachin.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- The famous one is in St Peter's. - Yeah.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03It's a canopy. There's a very famous one in St Peter's.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08So it's a canopy above an altar or above a tomb or something like that.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- In St Peter's in Rome?- It's a very famous one.- It's the right answer.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Yes, it's all square again and we go to sudden death.
0:26:16 > 0:26:22You've got a fight on your hands with Minted, Graham and Avril really working those answers.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26But we'll take away some of that raw material you've been using.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28In sudden death, there are no choices.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33So what name from the Italian for "undertaking" is given to a person
0:26:33 > 0:26:40who manages a band or theatre company or who organises and finances plays and concerts?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- An undertaking? A maestro? - I don't know.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47That's the only word I can think of for a...
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- That's Italian, yeah.- Shall we...?
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- Can you think of anything else? - I don't think I can.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Maestro is more of a perfectionist, though, on something.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- They're quite often conductors of orchestras.- Yeah.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Which, I suppose, is undertaking a job.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Go on then.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13We're guessing our way through this, but we're going to go for "maestro".
0:27:13 > 0:27:18Maestro, OK. Certainly Italian there. Italian for "undertaking"...
0:27:18 > 0:27:23- It's not the right answer. Do you know, Eggheads?- Impresario.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28An impresario. If we'd had the choices, I'm sure you would have got that.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30It's so much harder in sudden death.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35Eggheads, you need to get this if you are to win the game.
0:27:35 > 0:27:41"Hafiz" is the title given to someone who has committed the whole of which book to memory?
0:27:41 > 0:27:47"Hafiz" is the title given to someone who has committed the whole of which book to memory?
0:27:47 > 0:27:52It's the Koran. Scholars memorise it as an act of devotion.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57The Koran...is the correct answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Bad luck. It was so good to have you here
0:28:05 > 0:28:10and to see that one member of each of those quiz teams came together.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13There was some great quizzing in those head-to-heads.
0:28:13 > 0:28:19We must get up there to see The Eagle And Child pub and find out about the origin of that name.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Thank you for playing the Eggheads.
0:28:21 > 0:28:27But those Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and their winning streak continues.
0:28:27 > 0:28:33You won't be going home with the £14,000 which rolls over to the next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Who will beat you? Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:37 > 0:28:40have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43£15,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
