0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20The 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 > 0:00:32You might recognise them

0:00:32 > 0:00:35as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38They are the Eggheads.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41Taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today

0:00:41 > 0:00:42are Dramatis Personae from Hampshire.

0:00:42 > 0:00:46They know one another through the amateur dramatics group, the Portchester Players.

0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, my name is Jacquie. I'm 42 and I'm a business manager.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Steve. I'm 44 and I sell marine navigation software.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Ben. I'm 25 and I'm a PA.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Nick. I'm 51 and I'm a financial planning manager.

0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Sarah. I'm 42 and I'm a client relationship director.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Welcome to you, Dramatis Personae. From the team name,

0:01:08 > 0:01:11do you like doing more classical theatre than anything else?

0:01:11 > 0:01:14Actually not. A little bit off-the-wall stuff.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18- We try to do things that other people don't do very often.- Such as?

0:01:18 > 0:01:24We've just done a Martin McDonagh play called the Lieutenant of Inishmore, which is a bit gruesome.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26What are the gruesome bits then, without giving it away?

0:01:26 > 0:01:30- Lots of blood, lots of body parts. - Lovely.- Dead cats.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33It must be fun for the props department and make-up.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36OK, let's play the Eggheads.

0:01:36 > 0:01:41Let me tell you, every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48So, Dramatis Personae, the Eggheads have won the last 15 games.

0:01:48 > 0:01:53That means £16,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57This category is Music. To kick off, Music. Who'd like to play this?

0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Here we go.- Who was the music one?

0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Are you going to take that one, Sarah?- OK.- You happy with that?

0:02:04 > 0:02:09- I'm happy with that.- OK, cool. - Sarah, choose an Egghead.

0:02:09 > 0:02:15- Any of those five.- Who will we say? - Barry, maybe?- Yeah, Barry.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17OK, Barry has been chosen.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21Exit Sarah, pursued by Barry, into the Question Room, please.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26So, Sarah, would you like to go first or second in this Music round?

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Dermot, I'd like to go first, please.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36Good luck, here you go. How would one normally play the ocarina?

0:02:40 > 0:02:41OK.

0:02:41 > 0:02:46Ocarina. I've never heard of this instrument at all.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50I don't think it's something that you'd press the keys of.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54I think it's something you blow into it.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56That's my answer, you blow into it.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00You've got the right answer, well done. Fantastic.

0:03:00 > 0:03:05Yeah, blow into them. Well done. Tricky one there, Sarah, but you got the point.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Barry, the Romantic era in classical music

0:03:08 > 0:03:11is generally considered to have started during which century?

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Well, the 17th is generally baroque music

0:03:16 > 0:03:19and I think the 18th is classical,

0:03:21 > 0:03:23so the 19th is romantic.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Yes it is. The right answer, Barry.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27OK, Sarah, second question.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31The musician born Quentin Cook is better known by what name?

0:03:36 > 0:03:39OK, I know it's not Fatboy Slim.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Fatboy Slim is Cook but he's not Quentin Cook.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52- I'm going to go for Kanye West. - Kanye West for Quentin Cook.

0:03:52 > 0:03:57It's Fatboy Slim. Eggheads, explain, because she thought it was Norman.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01Quentin was his birth name, but he does use Norman.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05Quentin was his birth name, there it was. The musician BORN Quentin Cook.

0:04:05 > 0:04:10Well, a real curveball, that one. Barry, let's see what you get.

0:04:10 > 0:04:16Hong Kong Garden was the debut UK top 10 single for which group in 1978?

0:04:22 > 0:04:24I've heard the track and they're all groups...

0:04:24 > 0:04:27two of the groups are much the same.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29I think it was Huey Lewis & The News

0:04:29 > 0:04:32but I'm not 100% certain on this one.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35- No, no, no.- Was it Echo & The Bunnymen?- No, no, no.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Do you want to have another go? - I haven't a clue.

0:04:39 > 0:04:40You didn't have a clue, did you?

0:04:40 > 0:04:43It was Siouxsie & The Banshees. So, no harm done, Sarah.

0:04:46 > 0:04:47Your third question.

0:04:47 > 0:04:52Fritz Kreisler was one of the 20th century's leading virtuosos on which instrument?

0:04:55 > 0:04:57OK.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01So there's no clue in the question here.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07I'm ruling out the harp

0:05:07 > 0:05:10for no other reason than I always think

0:05:10 > 0:05:13the harp is more of a female instrument.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19I'm going to go with the flute.

0:05:19 > 0:05:20Flute for Fritz Kreisler.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23It's violin. It is violin.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Violin for Fritz Kreisler.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29A chance for Barry to win the round here, let's see what happens.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Barry, which Phil Collins hit was the first track on the first

0:05:32 > 0:05:36Now That's What I Call Music compilation album. released in 1983?

0:05:41 > 0:05:461983. I don't think it was Take Me Home. They are all great tracks.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51Because I like the title, I'll go for You Can't Hurry Love.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54It's the right answer, You Can't Hurry Love was the right answer.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Bad luck, Sarah.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Worked really well with those, but didn't get through.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02It means you won't be playing for the 16 grand.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06Would you both please come back and join your teams.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08First round to the Eggheads.

0:06:08 > 0:06:12One member of Dramatis Personae missing, all the Eggheads are there.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Our next subject is Science.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Who's got a bit of science in the background?

0:06:16 > 0:06:20WHISPERING

0:06:21 > 0:06:27- OK, I will take a hit for the team then.- Steve.- Yes.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Are you all right with that?- Yeah. - Steve, happy to do it?

0:06:30 > 0:06:36- And you can play one of those four Eggheads, not Barry.- Judith?- Yeah.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40- I'd like to play against Judith, please.- Judith, OK. - Let's have, then.

0:06:40 > 0:06:45Steve and Judith into the Question Room right now to play Science.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Steve, would you like to go first or second?

0:06:47 > 0:06:49I'd like to go first, please.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54First it is. Your first question, Steve.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58How many wisdom teeth do adult humans normally have?

0:07:01 > 0:07:06OK, I'm thinking it's going to be a bit odd if you've only got two.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08I don't remember being in the chair six times

0:07:08 > 0:07:11so I'm going to plump for four.

0:07:11 > 0:07:15It's the right answer, yeah, four. Well done, good start, Steve.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17OK, Judith.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20Rust - the reddish-brown coating that can form on iron and steel

0:07:20 > 0:07:23is mainly composed of which chemical compound?

0:07:27 > 0:07:29I think that's iron oxide.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Yes, it is. Rust - iron oxide.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Second questions for each of you.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38Steve, salicylic acid is a white crystalline solid

0:07:38 > 0:07:41used chiefly in the preparation of what?

0:07:46 > 0:07:48I have got absolutely no idea.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50I can't really think of a reason why

0:07:50 > 0:07:53but I'm going to plump for artificial sweetener.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57Probably wouldn't work. No, it's aspirin.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Aspirin - salicylic acid.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Judith, next question for you.

0:08:01 > 0:08:06SMTP is an abbreviation for an internet standard used for what?

0:08:11 > 0:08:12You need to ask Barry.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17- What on earth?- SMTP.

0:08:17 > 0:08:22I've seen it but I don't pay any attention to these sort of HTTP or SM...

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Well, it's either sending e-mails or displaying web pages.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Which?

0:08:32 > 0:08:33I think it's web pages.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39- I've no idea what SMTP stands for. - We've gleaned that, Judith.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43We'll find out in a moment or two to see

0:08:43 > 0:08:45if you can guess the right answer.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Barry?- It stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50It's for sending e-mail messages.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54It's for e-mails. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57No harm done there, Steve. Still all square. Third question then, Steve.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00The canary belongs to which family of birds?

0:09:05 > 0:09:07I'd suggest too small to be a cuckoo,

0:09:07 > 0:09:09too large to be a hummingbird,

0:09:09 > 0:09:12I'm going to plump for finch.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16Good one. Right, correct. It's the finch, well worked out.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18And the pressure's on Judith now.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22Judith, what term is used to refer to the atmospheric boundary

0:09:22 > 0:09:24between the troposphere and the stratosphere?

0:09:29 > 0:09:33Well, it sounds as if it's a pause.

0:09:33 > 0:09:34So, pause - tropopause.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Well done, you worked it out.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38So it's all square and for the first time

0:09:38 > 0:09:42we go to sudden death, so no options now for either of you.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44We've got to hear the answer straight from you.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48Steve, the name of which chemical element, discovered

0:09:48 > 0:09:53by William Hyde Wollaston in 1803, comes from the Greek for rose?

0:09:55 > 0:09:57This truly is taking one for the team, isn't it?

0:09:57 > 0:10:00I have no idea what I'm doing here.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03You're doing well for the team, into sudden death, still in it.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10- Cadmium.- I'm liking the guessing.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14It's not the right answer, but I just like that.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18You said that with such confidence. That's the actor in you.

0:10:18 > 0:10:19It is rhodium.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Rose due to the colour of the solution of its salts.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24OK, chance for Judith.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Used in the rating of fuels and often seen on petrol pumps,

0:10:27 > 0:10:30for what does the letter O stand in the acronym RON?

0:10:33 > 0:10:36I imagine it must be octane.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39- It is the right answer, yes. Octane.- Phew.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42It is Research Octane Number, RON.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46Judith got the octane and gets a place in the final round and denies one to Steve.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Come back and join your teams.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53The Eggheads have whittled away now two members of Dramatis Personae.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56They're all still there but two head-to-heads still to come

0:10:56 > 0:10:59and I suspect those early categories were not really your favourites.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Let's see, this might be getting closer to it - Film & Television.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Who'd like to play this? Film & TV and Jacquie, Ben or Nick.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Jacquie would be good at this.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11OK, I'm going to suck it up and I'm going to take that one.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15Good luck, Jacquie. You can choose CJ, Kevin or Pat. Any one of those three.

0:11:15 > 0:11:21- Go for Pat?- Yeah?- Yeah. - I'll take Pat, please.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Pat in his lovely red shirt.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26Let's have Jacquie and Pat into the Question Room, please.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Jacquie, Film & Television. Would you like to go first or second?

0:11:31 > 0:11:35I'm going to go second, please.

0:11:39 > 0:11:40First question, Pat.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42In the early 1980s, husband and wife comedy duo,

0:11:42 > 0:11:47the Krankies, were a regular fixture on which children's show?

0:11:50 > 0:11:55Well, they wouldn't suit Jackanory, which is just narration of stories.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59They could have popped up on Blue Peter, I suppose,

0:11:59 > 0:12:02but they're sort of a high energy comic act

0:12:02 > 0:12:06- and that would suit the pace of Crackerjack.- Crackerjack.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09Do you remember the shock, though, Pat, when someone told you

0:12:09 > 0:12:12that Jimmy Krankie was not actually a little boy?

0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Don't you remember that?- I'm over it now.- I know, but I remember it.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18You just think, no, no, no. And then they were married?

0:12:18 > 0:12:22- I just remember that revelation. - Jimmy Krankie was a woman?

0:12:22 > 0:12:25Look, we've done it to CJ.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Sorry, CJ. Crackerjack is the right answer.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30All right, Jacquie, first question.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33What was the name of the character played by Doris Speed

0:12:33 > 0:12:36who ran the Rovers Return in Coronation Street?

0:12:40 > 0:12:43I thought I was onto a winner with Crackerjack

0:12:43 > 0:12:46and was regretting it, but I think I'm OK with this one.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49I think it's Annie Walker.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Annie Walker, yes, of course it is. Well done.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53My mother-in-law would kill me,

0:12:53 > 0:12:56being a Coronation Street fan, if I'd got that wrong.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59Well on the board and Pat, second question.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01What was the nickname of Erik Estrada's character

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Francis Poncherello in the US TV show CHiPs?

0:13:08 > 0:13:09Francis Poncherello.

0:13:09 > 0:13:14I've a faint recollection of somebody called Ponch.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18I didn't watch the programme, but I'll go for Ponch.

0:13:19 > 0:13:24Ponch. That's the right answer, yes. Well done.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26OK, two for you. Jacquie, second question.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Which cast member of the original Star Trek series

0:13:29 > 0:13:33later appeared regularly as Paris in the TV show Mission Impossible?

0:13:37 > 0:13:42OK. Struggling a bit here with Star Trek.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44I know William Shatner was in Star Trek

0:13:44 > 0:13:48so I am going to go for William Shatner, please.

0:13:48 > 0:13:49OK, William Shatner.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52They were certainly all in the original Star Trek series,

0:13:52 > 0:13:57but he didn't turn up in Mission Impossible.

0:13:57 > 0:13:58- Pat?- Leonard Nimoy.

0:13:58 > 0:14:03Leonard Nimoy, so nothing there and a chance then for Pat to win the round here.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06In the 2004 film, Team America: World Police,

0:14:06 > 0:14:10the puppet representing which actor can only say his own name?

0:14:14 > 0:14:17I've only seen little excerpts of this film.

0:14:18 > 0:14:24I know they satirised brutally various entertainment figures.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Even Matt Damon was a big star by 2004 so they're all plausible.

0:14:29 > 0:14:33Arnold doesn't say very much, so he could be castigated.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36I do think that they got really stuck into Tom Cruise

0:14:36 > 0:14:37so I'll go for Tom Cruise.

0:14:37 > 0:14:41Tom Cruise only saying his own name in Team America: World Police.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43No, it's not. It's Matt Damon.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46There we are. Well, great news for you, Jackie.

0:14:46 > 0:14:51A let-off there, but get this and we go to sudden death.

0:14:51 > 0:14:55Which actor made his Shakespearean film debut playing

0:14:55 > 0:15:00Orlando in Paul Czinner's 1936 version of As You Like It?

0:15:05 > 0:15:09Did they have films in '36? That was a joke.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13I am really not sure.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15I don't know Ralph Richardson.

0:15:15 > 0:15:20I'm not sure if Laurence Olivier did Shakespeare.

0:15:20 > 0:15:24That's going to be really bad, isn't it?

0:15:24 > 0:15:26I'm going to go for John Gielgud.

0:15:26 > 0:15:31John Gielgud as Orlando in As You Like It.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34It is Laurence Olivier.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36Bad luck, Jacquie.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39It means Pat is in the final round and you won't be there.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41Please come back and join your teams.

0:15:43 > 0:15:44As it stands now,

0:15:44 > 0:15:49Dramatis Personae have lost three brains for the final round and the Eggheads are all still there.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52Last attempt to knock an Egghead out so let's see if you can do it on this category,

0:15:52 > 0:15:53Geography.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56Who'd like to play it? Ben or Nick?

0:15:56 > 0:15:59- That's not too bad.- Not too bad. - It's not great,

0:15:59 > 0:16:02but I'll take on Geography.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05Ben, who would you like to play from the Eggheads - Kevin or CJ?

0:16:05 > 0:16:07CJ.

0:16:07 > 0:16:11OK, let's have Ben and CJ into the Question Room, please.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16- So, Ben, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23This is yours, Ben. Anderlecht is a suburb of which European capital?

0:16:26 > 0:16:27Right, it's not Paris.

0:16:29 > 0:16:35Anderlecht FC play in Belgium so it's got to be Brussels.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38There's the link through the sport. Well done, right answer.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41CJ, first question.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43What colour is the central stripe on the Canadian flag?

0:16:45 > 0:16:48I believe the central stripe - actually, now I've bothered

0:16:48 > 0:16:53to look at the options, as the only two colours on the Canadian flag

0:16:53 > 0:16:56are red and white, out of those three options

0:16:56 > 0:16:58I'm going to go for white.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02It's the right answer, yes. White. Ben, second question.

0:17:02 > 0:17:07Wigan Pier is the name given to the area around a flight of locks on which canal?

0:17:12 > 0:17:15Right, OK. UK geography not great,

0:17:15 > 0:17:21but I think there's a DJ called Wigan Pier.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24I've never seen him or whatever.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28On the basis that a lot of musical acts come from the area,

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Leeds and Liverpool Canal.

0:17:30 > 0:17:34Loving this - the last one you got through a football team and this through a DJ.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38We're talking about canals and it is the right answer,

0:17:38 > 0:17:40Leeds and Liverpool Canal.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43That's brilliant. That's like Eggheads.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45Just using knowledge from all over the place.

0:17:45 > 0:17:50CJ, second question, the port of Stavanger in south-west Norway

0:17:50 > 0:17:54is an important centre for the construction of what structures?

0:17:59 > 0:18:02I was hoping you are going to ask me which country it was in. Erm...

0:18:02 > 0:18:06Well, OK, let's try and think about this logically.

0:18:06 > 0:18:11Why would any one particular place be an important centre for

0:18:11 > 0:18:15constructing nuclear power stations, which presumably are built on site.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18Or, indeed, bridges.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21However, it's on the coast, and it's fairly close to the North Sea,

0:18:21 > 0:18:25so you can understand it would be oil rigs, so oil rigs.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28Yes, you've worked it out. Oil rigs is the right answer.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30So, all square. Ben, third question.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Renowned for its wildlife, the group of islands known as

0:18:33 > 0:18:37the Dry Tortugas are part of which US state?

0:18:40 > 0:18:45Because it doesn't sound right, I'm going to rule out Washington.

0:18:45 > 0:18:51There's a lot of exotic-sounding places around Florida.

0:18:51 > 0:18:52There are the Keys and all that.

0:18:53 > 0:18:58It could be either, to be honest, but I'm going to go for Florida.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01There's something going on with Ben, it's the right answer.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07Well done. Three out of three, an unblemished record so far.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09If CJ blemishes here, he's out.

0:19:09 > 0:19:13Mole Valley is a district in which English county?

0:19:16 > 0:19:18Look at the look on his face.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22I have one tiny clue to work on here.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Molesey and West Molesey are in Surrey.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30Trying Surrey, and scraps of knowledge serving you well.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33It is the right answer. A very good round. 3-3, into sudden death. Ben.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39Cuidad Guyana, an important industrial port complex,

0:19:39 > 0:19:42is a city in which South American country?

0:19:42 > 0:19:43That kind of sounds African.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48It's difficult, because a lot of countries have

0:19:48 > 0:19:52Spanish or Portuguese heritage and that could be that language.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57I'll go for Venezuela.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59Unbelievable. It's the right answer.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05I think you better join the Eggheads, Ben.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08You've got something there. Fantastic.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10CJ, Adamstown is the main settlement

0:20:10 > 0:20:14on which group of volcanic islands in the southern Pacific Ocean?

0:20:16 > 0:20:18I'm going to have to take a guess at a group of islands

0:20:18 > 0:20:20in the South Pacific then.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26- I'll go for the Pitcairns. - Pitcairn.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29It's correct, CJ.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33- It suddenly came to me. - It just jumped in.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Well, you're both exhibiting your Egghead-type skills.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40And Ben, Dondra Head lies on the extreme southern tip

0:20:40 > 0:20:41of which Asian country?

0:20:43 > 0:20:46OK. I don't know.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50It's not the continent I know best.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54I would imagine if it was China or Japan, one of the more

0:20:54 > 0:20:58obvious ones, it would probably be in its native language.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01I've not heard the word Dondra before.

0:21:01 > 0:21:06I don't know. I'm going to go for Thailand.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10Thailand? It's not right this time, Ben. No, it is Sri Lanka.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12OK, CJ, your question.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15Which flat-topped mountain is flanked on either side

0:21:15 > 0:21:17is by the Lion's Head and Devil's Peak?

0:21:19 > 0:21:21Is that Table Mountain?

0:21:22 > 0:21:24Table Mountain is correct, CJ.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27After a marathon round, we have a winner.

0:21:27 > 0:21:32CJ with his nose just in front, but a cracking performance from Ben.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35Sorry you won't be in the final round. Come back and join your teams.

0:21:35 > 0:21:39So, this is what we've been playing towards.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42It's time for the final round, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44But for those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:21:44 > 0:21:47you won't get to take part in this round.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51Jacquie, Steve, Ben and Sarah, from Dramatis Personae, please leave the studio.

0:21:53 > 0:21:58So, Nick, you are playing to win Dramatis Personae £16,000.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Barry, Pat, Judith, Kevin and CJ, you're playing for something

0:22:01 > 0:22:04which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07As usual I will ask each team three questions in turn,

0:22:07 > 0:22:10and they are all general knowledge.

0:22:10 > 0:22:15You are allowed to confer. Nick, the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?

0:22:15 > 0:22:17- Nick, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.

0:22:21 > 0:22:25First question in the final round goes to Nick.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28Nick, what term, originally from the German, has been used

0:22:28 > 0:22:32since the early 20 century to describe vulgar, pretentious works

0:22:32 > 0:22:35and commercially exploitative products?

0:22:39 > 0:22:41I was thinking that word as you were saying the question.

0:22:41 > 0:22:47I'd love it to be krotsch, but I think actually it's kitsch.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49Yes, it is kitsch. Well done.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51The first point to Nick.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54Eggheads, what name is usually given to the type of black ink

0:22:54 > 0:22:56known for its opacity,

0:22:56 > 0:22:59that is commonly used for drawing and technical graphics?

0:23:03 > 0:23:06What name is usually given to the type of black ink

0:23:06 > 0:23:07known for its opacity

0:23:07 > 0:23:10that is commonly used for drawing and technical graphics?

0:23:10 > 0:23:14- That's India ink.- India ink is the right answer, Eggheads. 1-1.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16Back to you, Nick.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19The actor Max von Sydow was born in which country?

0:23:22 > 0:23:23I'll rule out Sweden.

0:23:23 > 0:23:27I think I need to rule out Poland as well on the "von" bit.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29I'm going to go for Austria.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32Austria, Germanic-sounding name, going for Austria.

0:23:32 > 0:23:37- It's not the right answer. It is? - Sweden.- Is it?- He's Swedish.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40OK. A slip-up there from Nick.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43Let's see what the Eggheads do with their second.

0:23:43 > 0:23:47The Oscar-nominated film, "A Single Man", which starred Colin Firth

0:23:47 > 0:23:49was based on a novel by which English writer?

0:23:54 > 0:23:57Isherwood. That was Christopher Isherwood.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Christopher Isherwood is correct.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03OK, well, it means you have to get this, Nick.

0:24:03 > 0:24:07In which Central Asian republic did the so-called Tulip Revolution

0:24:07 > 0:24:12unseat President Askar Akayev in 2005?

0:24:23 > 0:24:25I just need to plump for one of the Stans.

0:24:25 > 0:24:29I don't think I can get it from Tulip at all.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33Just as there's no line of sight, I'll go for Kyrgyzstan.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Down the middle, Kyrgyzstan. It's the right answer. Well done, Nick.

0:24:39 > 0:24:40Well done, Nick, kept yourself in it,

0:24:40 > 0:24:43but the Eggheads can still win if they get a right answer here.

0:24:43 > 0:24:47Ichnography is the art of drawing what?

0:24:51 > 0:24:52I thought it was going to be fish.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58Any thoughts? I think it was my first thought of those.

0:25:00 > 0:25:05If we all assumed it was going to be fish to start with.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08It could just as easily be one of the other things as well.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20It doesn't sound right somehow. And how about medical diagrams?

0:25:20 > 0:25:23There is a specific name for drawing medical diagrams.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25Exactly, but they're just medical diagrams,

0:25:25 > 0:25:28but on the other hand, fossils,

0:25:28 > 0:25:31you can imagine there is a name for drawing fossils.

0:25:31 > 0:25:36OK, I will set out my stall and I would go for medical diagrams.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39I'd go for fossils, that's my instinct.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44I was thinking about it, but fossils seems to be the obvious one.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47Third question, I'd go for medical diagrams as well.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49Well, the thing with the fossils is,

0:25:49 > 0:25:53I can't see why there would be for drawing fossils.

0:25:53 > 0:25:58Medical diagrams, I can see why there'd be a particular name for it.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01With fossils is difficult to see why they would have that.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04I know there definitely is a name for medical diagrams.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06OK, Eggheads, ichnography is the art of drawing what?

0:26:06 > 0:26:11- Medical diagrams is my answer. - Medical diagrams.- Medical diagrams.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14Those deliberations in vain - fossils, medical diagrams -

0:26:14 > 0:26:16it's ground plans.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18Ground plans.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20A pity about Max von Sydow,

0:26:20 > 0:26:24because you'd be taking the money away right now, Nick.

0:26:24 > 0:26:28Well, well, a let-off and into sudden death

0:26:28 > 0:26:29and still very much alive, Nick.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32So, the Eggheads showing they are vulnerable.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34And, this might suit you, Nick.

0:26:34 > 0:26:40Which play by Harold Pinter, first performed in 1965,

0:26:40 > 0:26:43focuses on the return to London of a university professor

0:26:43 > 0:26:46who brings his wife to meet his brothers and father?

0:27:00 > 0:27:03I can't think of a title that would suit that plot.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09My mind's gone blank on Pinter plays.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13I will plump with one as I'd title it, Meet The Family.

0:27:13 > 0:27:20OK, Meet The Family. It's not the right answer, it's The Homecoming.

0:27:20 > 0:27:24The Homecoming by Pinter. OK, a chance for the Eggheads then.

0:27:25 > 0:27:30During the Second World War, what did the letter "E"

0:27:30 > 0:27:33stand for in the military department known as ENSA?

0:27:33 > 0:27:35During the Second World War, what did the letter "E"

0:27:35 > 0:27:38stand for in the military department known as ENSA?

0:27:40 > 0:27:46Entertainments. Entertainments National Service Association.

0:27:46 > 0:27:47And you got the "S" on "Entertainments" as well.

0:27:47 > 0:27:52National Service Association is ENSA, so the curtain comes down

0:27:52 > 0:27:55on a gallant performance by Dramatis Personae.

0:27:55 > 0:27:56It means Eggheads, you've won.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05Well, rather appropriate that the final two questions

0:28:05 > 0:28:08were on the performing arts, but bad luck, Dramatis Personae.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11Those head-to-heads, a lot of guts, grit and quizzing skills,

0:28:11 > 0:28:15but it didn't work out in the end.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18Thank you very much indeed for coming in to play us today

0:28:18 > 0:28:21and when can we get our tickets for the next production

0:28:21 > 0:28:23of the Portchester Players?

0:28:23 > 0:28:25We'd love to come along. Let us know.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28The Eggheads did what comes naturally - their winning streak continues.

0:28:28 > 0:28:31I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £16,000.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34That means the money rolls over to the next show.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:37 > 0:28:39Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers

0:28:39 > 0:28:41have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44£17,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
