0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five challengers pit their wits
0:00:28 > 0:00:31against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41And challenging our resident quiz champions today are the Bowes Lions.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44This team all work at the Bowes Museum in County Durham,
0:00:44 > 0:00:49home to a collection of over 40,000 pieces of fine and decorative art.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54I'm Kevin, I'm 58 and I'm a museum attendant.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm Judith, I'm 61 and I'm an archivist.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Jon, I'm 51 and I'm the conservation manager.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hello, I'm Sheila, I'm 56 and I'm the museum's press officer.
0:01:06 > 0:01:12Hello. I'm Ros, I'm 58 and I'm a customer services assistant.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Welcome to you, Bowes Lions.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17I'm very much enjoying that team name.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Of course, that was the Queen Mother's maiden names, Bowes-Lyon,
0:01:21 > 0:01:22without the "Lions".
0:01:22 > 0:01:26She never visited there? It's not gone that far has it?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- The Queen Mother's been in umpteen times.- Has she?
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- The last time was in 1992.- So that's why you went for the team name?
0:01:34 > 0:01:40- Lions - quizzing lions, as well.- No, no. The family name was Strathmore.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42John Bowes, who founded the museum,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45was the illegitimate son of the 10th Earl of Strathmore
0:01:45 > 0:01:48and the Queen Mother's father was the 14th Earl of Strathmore,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50hence the name Bowes Lions.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53OK. Tell me about the 40,000 pieces of decorative art.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57We have two very large Canalettos, two Goyas,
0:01:57 > 0:02:02- an Italian artist called Sasseta, Joshua Reynolds...- Wow.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- ..El Greco...- Yeah? - ..and various bits and bobs.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09The most important bits and bob is a silver swan,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11which is an 18th-century automaton.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16- What is an 18th-century automaton? - It's in pure silver. It's musical.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19It was a joint effort by a Flemish inventor
0:02:19 > 0:02:22and an English silversmith in the 18th century.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24So that alone is worth hundreds of thousands?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- I've asked the curators. All they will say is it's priceless.- Yeah.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Well, fantastic stuff. We'll talk more as the quiz goes on.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35You're taking on the Eggheads, the quizzing automatons, there.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Every day there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46So, Bowes Lions, the Eggheads have won the last 16 games.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50That means £17,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54And our first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of sport.
0:02:54 > 0:03:00- Who'd like to play this?- That should be me, I think.- It has to be, Jon.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Who are you going to take on, though?- I don't know. Who?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Who will I take on?- Judith.
0:03:05 > 0:03:11- Right, I'll take on Judith. - OK, Judith, that's the decision.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14There's a plan, I think, running here. It's Jon playing Judith.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18The subject is sport. Could I ask you both to take your positions
0:03:18 > 0:03:20in the question room?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Jon, right, do you want to go first or second?
0:03:24 > 0:03:25I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30OK, first question, Jon.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Which footballer won the PFA Player of the Year Award
0:03:33 > 0:03:34in April 2010?
0:03:37 > 0:03:41I don't think it's Michael Owen because he was injured for a lot of the season.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I don't think it was Paul Scholes, so I'm going with Wayne Rooney.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Wayne Rooney is correct. Well done. Good start.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Judith.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54In which year did Andre Agassi win the men's singles title at Wimbledon?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Well, I think it's '92 or '96.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I'm trying to think how old he is.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I think it might be '96.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10What are you doing there, CJ? Serving?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13'96 was Richard Krajicek. It's '92.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- 1992, Judith.- Oh.- '92.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20So, a good start, then, Jon, and a chance for a big lead, here.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24The opening batsmen Geoff Marsh and Graeme Wood played
0:04:24 > 0:04:26test match cricket for which country?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Right, this is interesting. They didn't play for England,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34so it's between New Zealand and Australia
0:04:34 > 0:04:38and I think Jeff Marsh may have been the brother
0:04:38 > 0:04:40of the Australian wicket keeper Rodney,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43so I'm going to go with Australia.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Australia is right. Well done.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46CHEERING
0:04:47 > 0:04:50You'll go through if Judith gets this wrong.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55Robert Allenby and Ross Fisher are famous names in which sport?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I don't think they're darts.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03I think it's golf.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06OK, you don't think darts.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09You went through the mental process of not athletics either.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Golf is right. Well done, Judith.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13You've maybe saved yourself or maybe not.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15You'll go out if Jon gets this, as you know.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Jon, how old was the swimmer Sharron Davies
0:05:18 > 0:05:22when she was first selected to swim for the Great Britain national team?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Right. Er...
0:05:28 > 0:05:32That's a toughie. I know she was very good at a young age
0:05:32 > 0:05:34but how young, of course, is the question.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Erm... I don't think it was 11.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I think 14's probably a bit too young, as well.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46I don't think there are many swimmers who have represented their country at 14,
0:05:46 > 0:05:47so I'm going to go with 17.
0:05:47 > 0:05:5217 for Sharron Davies first breaking into the Great Britain national team.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55No, she'd been there a very long time by the time she was 17.
0:05:55 > 0:05:5811. It's 11.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03And, well, Judith, can you mount a comeback here? You need to get this.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07What is the nationality of the runner Tsegaye Kebede,
0:06:07 > 0:06:10the winner of the men's race at the 2010 London marathon?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Er, I think he's Moroccan.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Moroccan?- Yes.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Tsegaye Kebede won the 2010 London marathon,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24what, a couple of seconds ahead of you, CJ?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- Did he take it on the line? - Only just but I think I was shocked
0:06:28 > 0:06:30when I learned his nationality
0:06:30 > 0:06:33because he was only the third ever to win it from this country
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- and I think he's Ethiopian. - Ethiopian is the answer.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Which means, well, you've won this particular race, Jon.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42You are in the final round.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:06:47 > 0:06:51The Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53the Bowes Lions are all there.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Our next subject is film and television.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Who'd like to play this one? It can't be Jon.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Any of the other four of you, there.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- I can go but I'm not terribly good. - Are you going to go with it?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04How do you feel about it?
0:07:04 > 0:07:09Well, I don't feel very well about it but I'll have a go.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Go on, have a go. - We'll be rooting for you.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17- Who am I likely to take on?- Who can you take on?- Oh, good heavens.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- CJ's quite good at television.- Yes.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25- I'd like to play Pat, please. - Pat. OK, let's have Sheila and Pat into the question room, please,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27just to make sure you can't confer.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Sheila, do you get much time to put your feet up and watch the telly?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Er, not really, which is why I'm in the wrong category here.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Taking one for the team, as they say.- Yes.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44There's one particular bit of this category you don't want to come up and that's Pixar films
0:07:44 > 0:07:46because your challenger is very good at it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50How many Pixar films are there altogether, these animated films?
0:07:50 > 0:07:55Well, the Toy Story 3D is the eleventh main feature,
0:07:55 > 0:08:00so I studied the first ten for my Mastermind quite intensively.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- They're marvellous films. - OK, so we hope to avoid those
0:08:04 > 0:08:06from Sheila's point of view.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Sheila, you get to choose as always -
0:08:08 > 0:08:10would you like to go first or second?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I think I'll probably go first and get it over with.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Best of luck, Sheila. First question.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22The actor Antonio Banderas was born in which country?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Well, I have heard of him and he's rather dishy.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I don't think he's Italian.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35Spain seems to be the obvious one.
0:08:36 > 0:08:43Erm... I think I shall say that he is Spanish.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Yes, he is. Yes. Antonio Banderas is from Spain.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Pat, in which year was the TV panel show Have I Got News For You
0:08:52 > 0:08:53first broadcast?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59It's been going a long, long time.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Erm... I think 1970 is definitely too early.
0:09:06 > 0:09:091980 I think is probably a little bit too early as well.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I think I'll have to go for 1990.
0:09:15 > 0:09:181990. Yes, it is 1990 for the first edition
0:09:18 > 0:09:19of Have I Got News For You.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24Now, Sheila, what type of creature is Diego,
0:09:24 > 0:09:29the character voiced by Denis Leary in the Ice Age series of films?
0:09:32 > 0:09:37Erm... My grandchildren will be shouting this at the television
0:09:37 > 0:09:40but I'm afraid I haven't any idea.
0:09:40 > 0:09:47Erm... So I think I'm going to go for sloth.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50OK, Diego, a sloth.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53After our conversation earlier on, we'll have to ask Pat.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I haven't seen the Ice Age films.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I'd guess at sabre-toothed tiger but I haven't seen the film.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01OK, you don't extend it beyond Pixar to these...?
0:10:01 > 0:10:05I had enough on my plate with my ten Pixar films, I can assure you.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- You'd go for sabre-toothed tiger. - Yes.- OK.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Diego is a sabre-toothed tiger in the Ice Age films,
0:10:11 > 0:10:13so nothing there for you, Sheila.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Let's see what Pat gets with his second one.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Tina Fey stars as Liz Lemon in which TV comedy series?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28They're all very popular with the critics, these programmes.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33I think Tina Fey stars with Alec Baldwin in 30 Rock.
0:10:33 > 0:10:3530 Rock for Tina Fey.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36It's right, Pat. Well done.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39And she became even more famous, Pat...?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- For impersonating Sarah Palin.- Yeah.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45And there we are. Tina Fey is in 30 Rock.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49So you have a lead. That means you've got to get this, Sheila.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54Dhruv Baker found fame on which TV show in 2010?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Erm, again, I don't really watch any of them
0:11:01 > 0:11:04because they're not really my generation,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07so it'll have to be a guess
0:11:07 > 0:11:09and I'll go for The Apprentice.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11The Apprentice for Dhruv Baker.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14It is MasterChef, Sheila.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17So you missed those MasterChefs
0:11:17 > 0:11:20and you're missing a place in the final round.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Well, two rounds gone and it's all square.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32And our next subject is science. Who'd like to play this one?
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- It can be Kevin, Judith or Ros. - LAUGHTER
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Oh, dear, dear, dear. Well, what are we going to do?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42What are we going to do? I think we're going to go home now.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48- Oh, I'll give it a go. I'll give it a go. - Who are you going to play?
0:11:48 > 0:11:52It's going to be Ros. Who would you like to play - Kevin, CJ or Daphne?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Well, CJ's giving me a lovely smile, so...
0:11:56 > 0:11:57LAUGHTER
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Good enough reason. CJ, then?
0:12:01 > 0:12:05OK, CJ is it. Lovely smile. You've got a lovely smile, too, Ros.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Let's have the two grinners, then, into the question room, please.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12And, Ros, do you want to go first or second?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Oh, I think it'll have to be first, please.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23- Is that first, Ros, to get it over with?- Absolutely. - Three out of three might do it.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24The first one is here.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29What name is given to the branch of chemistry concerned with measuring and studying the rates of reactions?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Well, I think phonetics has to do with language and letters
0:12:37 > 0:12:42and aesthetics is studying beautiful... It's about beauty,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45so I guess it's kinetics.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Yeah, has to be, hasn't it? It's the right answer, yes.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Aesthetics is what you lot do.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57OK, CJ, during what type of eclipse does the moon appear darkened
0:12:57 > 0:12:59as it passes into the earth's shadow?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Lunar.- Yes.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08It's the right answer.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13OK, Ros. The bongo is an animal native to which continent?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Well, I think it's a large kind of antelope
0:13:20 > 0:13:23and I think it lives in the southern part of Africa,
0:13:23 > 0:13:24so I'll say Africa.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26It does. It's the right answer.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Have you ever seen one?- No. - I mean, apart from zoos.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- I haven't been to the south of Africa.- OK.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38But bongos are from Africa.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42And, CJ, the malleus is the Latin name
0:13:42 > 0:13:43for which bone in the human ear?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I believe it's literally Latin for hammer.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50It is. It's the right answer.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52You have two and Ros has two.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Well, Ros, if you get this, you might get into the final round.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Mariner 4 was the first space probe
0:13:59 > 0:14:03to obtain and transmit close-range images of which planet?
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Well, I can't remember the answer, so I'll have to guess this one.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Erm...
0:14:12 > 0:14:14I think I'll say Venus.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- What do you think, CJ? Do you think it's Venus?- I think it is.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- No, it's not.- Is it not?- It's not, so you would both have been wrong.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Interesting that, in terms of Ros choosing to go first.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29- But other Eggheads, of the other two...?- Mars.- Mars.- Mars.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34Mariner 4. When it did it go? How long did it take? Any other details?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- It was in the early '60s, I think. - Oh, right, that long ago?- Oh, yeah.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- I think so.- Early '60s, Kevin thinks, Mariner 4.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44OK, well, it was taking close-range images of Mars.
0:14:44 > 0:14:50And CJ would have got it wrong but he's on the second set of questions,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53and therefore can book a place in the final round with this.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55What type of bird is a bittern?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Well, I know what it looks like and I know the noise it makes.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Erm... Surely it's too small to be a buzzard?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Er, it's a wading bird,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10which automatically makes you think of a heron.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Erm, I don't know this
0:15:14 > 0:15:18but because it lives in the same environment, I'll go for heron.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Heron it is, CJ. Yeah, you got that.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24So bad luck, Ros. You did really well there
0:15:24 > 0:15:26but just failed on that Mars question,
0:15:26 > 0:15:30which means CJ's over the moon because he's playing in the final round.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36The Eggheads have crept into the lead.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Two members of the Bowes Lions gone, one Egghead out
0:15:40 > 0:15:44and our last head to head before the final round is arts and books.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Who'd like to play this? There are two remaining players.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- You go for it. - Right, OK. It'll be me.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55OK, Judith. And the remaining Eggheads are Kevin, over there, and Daphne.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- Right, go on. Which one do I go for?- Daphne.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02- Daphne? Try Daphne.- OK, Daphne, it looks as though it's you and me.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Shall we dance? Let's have Judith and Daphne into the question room, then.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10All right, Judith. Let's see if you can even it up in the final round.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13If you get through, of course, it will be three all.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Arts and books. First question to Judith.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Who is the main male character in the 2005 book,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Well, I'm really pleased that that one's come up.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- Have you read it?- I have indeed. It's Mikael Blomkvist.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Yeah. You're having the same problems as me, there.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Very good at the Swedish, aren't we?
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Mikael Blomkvist is the right answer.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, that hugely successful trilogy.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55And first question, then, for you, Daphne.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59How old was the poet Wilfred Owen at the time of his death?
0:17:02 > 0:17:06I think he died at the very end of World War I,
0:17:06 > 0:17:09so I think he would be 25.
0:17:09 > 0:17:1325, of course, yes. It couldn't have been any of the other two.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17So one each and, Judith, your second question.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Fanny Brawne had a much-publicised romance with which poet,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22born in 1795?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I know it's not Robert Browning.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32I'm almost... I'm sure it's not William Wordsworth.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34I'm pretty sure it's John Keats.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Pretty sure it's Keats. Born in 1795.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Now you can be 100% sure. It's the right answer. Well done.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Daphne, the Edgar Allan Poe short story
0:17:46 > 0:17:50that describes the tortures suffered by a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition
0:17:50 > 0:17:51is called The Pit And The... what?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57The Pit And The Pendulum.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00It's the right answer, yes. The Pit And The Pendulum.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Straight back to you, Judith.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Antony Gormley's Event Horizon installation
0:18:05 > 0:18:09saw 31 sculptures of himself, cast in iron and fibreglass,
0:18:09 > 0:18:16placed on pavements, roof tops and ledges around which city in March 2010?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Oh, dear.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Erm, I'm better on the books than I am on the art, I'm afraid.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Erm... I will have to guess
0:18:28 > 0:18:30and I will guess at...
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Tokyo.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- Tokyo. Of course, Antony Gormley, very familiar to those from the North-east.- Yes.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43It's not Tokyo, no.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Do you know, Daphne?- It's New York.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51Apparently, people complained because it looked like suicide jumpers.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- People on the rooftops, yes.- Yes. - It caused emergency calls.
0:18:54 > 0:19:00It's New York for Event Horizon. So, a chance for Daphne.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Which film director co-authored The Strain,
0:19:03 > 0:19:07a vampire novel first published in 2009?
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I think this is a bit of a guess
0:19:16 > 0:19:20but I will go for Guillermo del Toro.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23OK. Why are you going for that?
0:19:25 > 0:19:26An inkle.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29An inkle. A wickle inkle.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34- Yes. Is it?- It is the right answer, yes. Guillermo del Toro.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Bad luck, Judith. It means you're not in the final round.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Just losing out on the third question
0:19:39 > 0:19:42after two very good answers.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44It means that, Daphne, you are playing.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49This is what we've been playing towards.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52The final round is, as always, general knowledge.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads can't take part,
0:19:56 > 0:19:59so Judith, Sheila and Ros from the Bowes Lions
0:19:59 > 0:20:03and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Kevin and Jon, you're playing to win the Bowes Lions £17,000.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Pat, Kevin, CJ and Daphne,
0:20:10 > 0:20:14you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21The questions are general knowledge and you may confer.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22So, Kevin and Jon, the question is
0:20:22 > 0:20:25are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Would you like to go first or second?
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- What do you think? First?- We'll go first, yeah.- First, please, Dermot.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38OK, Bowes Lions, kicking off and this is your first question.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Mauritania has a coastline on which ocean?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Oh, this is...- This is one for Ros, this one.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50She'd have been all right on this.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Isn't it on the east coast of Africa?
0:20:53 > 0:20:57So you're saying... You're saying the Indian?
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- No, I'm saying the Atlantic, I think.- East coast?
0:21:02 > 0:21:06You could be right, actually. Yeah, you could be right.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I'm trying to visualise it. It could be on the right-hand side.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- It's not Pacific. - No, it's not Pacific.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Which one do you want to go for, Kevin?- Atlantic, I think, Jon.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19All right, then. We'll go for the Atlantic.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Ros would have been the best one for this, Dermot,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- but we'll go for Atlantic. - Atlantic.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Yeah, I think your female colleagues do know this one
0:21:27 > 0:21:31and, yes, they do, they're signalling from the question room.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33You, of course, can't see them.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36It is Atlantic. You've got it. You've made them very happy.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38A tricky opening question, there,
0:21:38 > 0:21:43getting it on the right side, the correct side of Africa.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Just whereabouts, how high up, low down...?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49It's just south of Morocco. It's the second country down.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Well, there's Western Sahara. - Well, that's still Morocco.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56All right, up there. Mauritania on the Atlantic.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58So, Eggheads, your first question.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01The epic poem called the Mahabharata
0:22:01 > 0:22:04forms part of the scripture of which religion?
0:22:07 > 0:22:08- Hindu.- Hindu.- Yeah.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- That's Hinduism, Dermot. - Hindu?- Yeah.
0:22:11 > 0:22:17It's the right answer, Eggheads, yes. OK. Back to Kevin and Jon.
0:22:17 > 0:22:23The actor Shane Richie married which Nolan sister in 1990?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28It's the one on the afternoon programme.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- The afternoon programme. It's not Bernie, then.- No. It's not Maureen.
0:22:32 > 0:22:37- Shane Richie... - It's the one on Loose Women.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42- It's... It's housewives, isn't it? It's Coleen.- Coleen. OK.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44It's Coleen, Dermot.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49Coleen. Heard you there talking through the programmes you'd seen her on.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51These first three questions,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54it's general knowledge, it's certainly proven that,
0:22:54 > 0:22:55the range of questions.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59You've got it, yeah. Coleen. From geography to TV.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Popular entertainment, anyway, and two for you.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08Eggheads, in Greek mythology, who was the father of Perseus?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Happy with Zeus?- Mm.- Yeah?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- That was Zeus, Dermot.- Zeus. - Zeus, yes.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21"Zooss", as the Americans would say.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- "Zooss" as the Americans would say but it's "Ze-oos".- Zeus.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Perseus. OK, the father is Zeus
0:23:28 > 0:23:31and gives you two out of two as well.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Our third question, then, going to Jon and Kevin now.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Which leader of the Gallic revolt of 52BC
0:23:38 > 0:23:42was defeated and captured, paraded through Rome as a trophy
0:23:42 > 0:23:43in Caesar's triumph
0:23:43 > 0:23:46and finally executed in 46BC?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- I've seen a programme about this a while back.- Have you?- Yes.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- Right. Good.- Erm...
0:23:58 > 0:24:01I think, Jon, it's Vercingetorix.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Right. We'll go with that, then.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06We'll go for Vercingetorix, Dermot.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11OK. Vercingetorix the Gall, as he appeared in the Asterix cartoons.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14It's the right answer. Well done.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Why did they wait six years to finish him off?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19That was a bit cruel. Mind you, they were.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Well, you had to wait for your moment for these things,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25if there was going to be a big triumph or series of games.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29It was all part of a great festival celebration to show Rome's power.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- It went on a few years.- Mm.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34OK, there we are. Three out of three. Serious stuff here.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Yes, looking at the £17,000 very closely, here.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40You get it if the Eggheads don't get this.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43In which year were the businessman Philip Green,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45the author Douglas Adams
0:24:45 > 0:24:48and the fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier born?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- '52?- Douglas Adams, I think, is '52. - Yeah.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- I think Gaultier is, as well.- Fine. - I don't know about Philip Green.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04I don't know Green or Gaultier but I think Adams is '52.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07I think he was 49 when he died, Douglas Adams.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11He died in 2001. I'm sure I've seen '52 for him and for Gaultier.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- Fine.- OK? 1952, Dermot.
0:25:14 > 0:25:171952 for those three. It's the right answer, yes.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20It's all square. We're going to Sudden Death.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25No choices to look at. I've just got to hear an answer from you, Jon and Kevin.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30Which race course annually hosts the Scottish Grand National?
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Which race course annually hosts the Scottish Grand National?
0:25:34 > 0:25:38I used to be a big punter on the horses. It's Ayr.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- Ayr it is! Well done.- Well done. - Stood you in good stead, then.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46You may have lost a few quid on it but you may win a few quid back now.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Ayr. OK, well, Eggheads, got to get this.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54The traditional form of theatre known as Noh
0:25:54 > 0:25:56has its origins in which country?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Japan.- Japan. - Yeah. It's Japan.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04Japan. Can you tell me a bit more about Noh? Is that the puppet stuff?
0:26:04 > 0:26:05- No.- No, no.- This is very...
0:26:05 > 0:26:11It's not to all tastes but it's a very stylised, very traditionalised form.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- People shrieking?- A couple of actors, that sort of thing.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16It dates back to the 14th century, originally.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19OK, well, that's right. Japan is correct.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22So, back to you two. Going well, there, Jon and Kevin,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24and another Sudden Death question.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29Who directed the films Rain Man, Diner and Good Morning, Vietnam?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- I haven't a clue at all.- No, sorry.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- Sorry. Films isn't my forte. - It's not my forte either.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39I sort of know it but I can't actually drag it up.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43I think the second bit of his name ends with "man", I think.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- And erm...- Man, you think?- Mm.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- Just give the first name. - I can't...- If you can't think.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- I can't think what it is, no. - I don't know any directors.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- Films isn't my forte.- I sort of know it but I can't think of it.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02- No. We couldn't even hazard a guess, Dermot, sorry.- OK, it's a pass.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05You still might be in it. The Eggheads have got to get theirs right.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- Eggheads, do you know? - Barry Levinson.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Barry Levinson. Barry Levinson, director of those films,
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Rain Man, Diner and Good Morning, Vietnam.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15A chance for victory, Eggheads.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20What did Oscar Wilde once describe as "the best thing the English have done in fiction"?
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Was it Burke's Peerage or Debrett's? It's one or the other.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27I've never... Well, OK... No, I won't say any more.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31I think maybe Burke's Peerage sounds...
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Debrett's. It's one or the other, I'm sure.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Debrett's seems to flow more but Burke's Peerage is more famous.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- I think it goes back further. It's older.- It's older.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- Shall I try it?- Burke's? - Go for Burke's Peerage.- Yeah.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50It's one or the other of either Burke's Peerage or Debrett's.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52On balance, we'll go for Burke's Peerage.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Burke's Peerage is your answer.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59"The best thing the English have done in fiction" as described by Oscar Wilde is...
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Burke's Peerage. Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Well done, Bowes Lions. Really good quizzing today.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Thank you for playing and telling us all about the Bowes Museum.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15We will head there as soon as we possibly can
0:28:15 > 0:28:19and come and see you all and all those wonderful works of art.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Thank you for taking on the Eggheads.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25They've done what comes naturally and their winning streak continues.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27You won't be going home with the £17,000.
0:28:27 > 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 > 0:28:37Join us next time to see if a new team have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41£18,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
