0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are among 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?

0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:27 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:32 > 0:00:36They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows - the Eggheads.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39Challenging our quiz champions today are...

0:00:39 > 0:00:42the Hopviners from Lancashire.

0:00:42 > 0:00:48They regularly quiz together at the Hop Vine pub in Burscough. Let's meet them.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi. I'm Mike. I'm 36 and I'm a builder's labourer.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi. I'm Gemma. I'm 25 and I'm a journalist.

0:00:55 > 0:01:00Hi. I'm Ahmed. I'm 55 and I'm an IT user support analyst.

0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi. I'm Ray. I'm 38 years old and I'm a contracts administrator.

0:01:04 > 0:01:09Hi. I'm Phil. I'm 44 years old and I'm a university lecturer.

0:01:09 > 0:01:15- Welcome to you, Hopviners. Is that the name of the quiz team when you're playing at the Hop Vine?- No.

0:01:15 > 0:01:22We generally take a collective of who's turned up on the day and make up the name as we go along.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26- The Hop Vine is the name of the pub. - Sure, and how competitive is it?

0:01:26 > 0:01:31- Oh, extremely.- Very. - Extremely competitive. We sometimes win it.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Which is quite... - Only when I'm there, though!

0:01:34 > 0:01:38That's what I like to hear, Gemma.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42What subjects do you enjoy most? You've got a mix on the team.

0:01:42 > 0:01:47- I enjoy the sport questions. - GEMMA: Music, entertainment, TV.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50- AHMED: Science and history. - Geography.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54- OK. And Phil? - General knowledge, science.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Got all the talents here. Let's put them to the test.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05If they fail to defeat the Eggheads the money rolls over.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08Hopviners, the Eggheads have won the last 20 games.

0:02:08 > 0:02:13£21,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17Our first subject - kind of know who's playing this - Arts & Books.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Who wants to play this?

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Who did we decide?

0:02:22 > 0:02:26- Well, I suppose. - GEMMA: Are you gonna go for it, Ray?

0:02:26 > 0:02:29- I will do. - You wanted to be first.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Yeah.- Who would you like to play?

0:02:32 > 0:02:37- I would say either Judith or Chris. - Yeah.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40Um, I'll go for...Judith.

0:02:40 > 0:02:46Judith, decision is made. It's Ray and Judith playing Arts & Books.

0:02:46 > 0:02:51Could I ask you both, please, to go to the question room to make sure you can't confer?

0:02:51 > 0:02:55Ray, you're a big Liverpool fan. You follow them over Europe!

0:02:55 > 0:03:00- Yes.- To the great European cities. Do you take in the museums and galleries when you're there?

0:03:00 > 0:03:05- Um, I generally...- Or the pubs? - Well, the pubs of course!

0:03:05 > 0:03:07It's the churches I like to see.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10I just love looking around the churches.

0:03:10 > 0:03:16So I've been to the Sagrada in Barcelona and places like that.

0:03:16 > 0:03:21I'm glad to hear that, because there's the stereotype that I played into.

0:03:21 > 0:03:26The football fans go abroad and all they do is jump into a lot of beer.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30It's an opportunity to look around cities you wouldn't normally go to.

0:03:30 > 0:03:36- It's a bit of a waste if you spend all day in a pub.- Got to spend some time there if you win!

0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Oh, yes.- OK, Ray.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first please.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Good luck, Ray.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Arts & Books, first question.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52The painter Henri Matisse was born in which country?

0:03:54 > 0:03:59The painter Henri Matisse was born in which country?

0:03:59 > 0:04:03Um... I'm pretty certain he was born in France.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05So I'm going to go for France.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09Matisse, French, is the right answer. Good start.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Judith.

0:04:11 > 0:04:16According to Thomas Gray's Ode On A Distant Prospect Of Eton College,

0:04:16 > 0:04:19"Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be..." what?

0:04:22 > 0:04:26Well, I think it must be wise, cos it's the opposite.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Yeah, "'tis folly to be wise".

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Understand that now, Eggheads?

0:04:32 > 0:04:36- DERMOT CHUCKLES - It's all square.

0:04:36 > 0:04:41Ray, in the Leonardo sketch commonly known as the Vitruvian Man,

0:04:41 > 0:04:46that displays the proportions of the human figure, how many arms are shown?

0:04:49 > 0:04:52I'm pretty certain that it's three per side.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56He's got two arms held out. I'm certain he's got one above.

0:04:56 > 0:05:01And one below. One straight out, one above, one below. So...

0:05:01 > 0:05:05- I'm going to go for six. - Six. Vitruvian Man.

0:05:05 > 0:05:10- It's four!- Oh, right. - Do you know what?

0:05:10 > 0:05:15If I didn't have the right answer, I'd agree with you. It's only four.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Vitruvian Man.

0:05:17 > 0:05:23Judith, whose Ode On Indolence was written in 1819,

0:05:23 > 0:05:26but was published posthumously in 1848?

0:05:28 > 0:05:34I don't think Tennyson was posthumous in 1848. I'm not sure.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38- I have a feeling it must be Keats. - Keats.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42Who died shortly after 1819, I think.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45You've been getting a lot of odes! Second ode in a row.

0:05:45 > 0:05:50- Second correct answer. - Can we have a bit of variety?

0:05:50 > 0:05:54You're doing well on them. Keats gives you two.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57You need this, Ray. Whose 1757 work entitled

0:05:57 > 0:06:04A Philosophical Enquiry Into The Origin Of Our Ideas Of The Sublime And Beautiful

0:06:04 > 0:06:08put forward a theory that divided the sublime from mere beauty?

0:06:11 > 0:06:14I've got no idea.

0:06:14 > 0:06:19I think Samuel Johnson... was around later than that.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22I thought he'd be around in the 1800s but...

0:06:22 > 0:06:25I'm not so sure about that either.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27This is a complete guess.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29I'm going to go for Thomas Paine.

0:06:29 > 0:06:34- It's not, though, Ray.- Right.- Do you know, Judith, of the other two?

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Edmund Burke's a political writer.

0:06:37 > 0:06:42I thought it was Samuel Johnson but I'm not sure because of the dates.

0:06:42 > 0:06:47- He was a philosopher as well, Burke, and it was he that wrote it.- Oh.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51But it doesn't matter. You've won the round anyway.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53You got those two correct.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Two incorrect from Ray means you won't be in the final round.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Please come back and join your teams.

0:06:58 > 0:07:03After the first round, the Eggheads have the upper hand.

0:07:03 > 0:07:09The Hopviners have lost one brain. Our second round today is Geography. Who'd like to play this one?

0:07:09 > 0:07:11It can't be you, Ray.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Oh, no!

0:07:13 > 0:07:19- We decided, didn't we, before. - Yeah. Ray WAS going to do Geography.

0:07:19 > 0:07:24But we decided if Geography came up after, Ahmed was going to do it.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Yeah. Good luck, Dad.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29You can play anyone, apart from Judith.

0:07:29 > 0:07:35I'd take my pick from either Chris or Daphne.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Would you? - Or Barry.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40LAUGHTER

0:07:40 > 0:07:42So, no Pat then!

0:07:42 > 0:07:48- That's narrowed it down(!) - I'll play against Daphne, I think.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52So it's going to be Ahmed and Daphne playing Geography.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Into the question room, please.

0:07:54 > 0:07:59Ahmed, interest in geography? Travelled quite a lot, have you?

0:07:59 > 0:08:04Not really, Dermot. It's my third favourite subject.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08Stepping into the breach! You have to adapt these game plans.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10It's just the way the questions came out.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14Well, you have adapted and taken this on.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Do you want to start or let her begin?

0:08:17 > 0:08:19I'll go first, please, Dermot.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25The best of luck. Which coastal feature occurs

0:08:25 > 0:08:32where air and water are forced through a vertical shaft leading from a sea cave to the surface?

0:08:35 > 0:08:41Well, I don't think it's a pothole, because that's where cavers go down.

0:08:41 > 0:08:46A sinkhole, that sounds more like a river goes down a hole.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50I'm going to go for blow-hole.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54Blow-hole. Yeah, does what it says on the tin! It's the right answer.

0:08:57 > 0:09:01Daphne, Haverfordwest is in which part of the United Kingdom?

0:09:03 > 0:09:06I think it's Wales, Dermot.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10- You had to think a minute there. - Yes. I did.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12It is in Wales. Correct.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18The Australian territory, the Cocos Islands, is in which ocean?

0:09:20 > 0:09:23I know it's definitely not the Atlantic.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26At least, I think it's not the Atlantic.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30It sounds like it could be the Pacific.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33The Indian's a bit further away.

0:09:33 > 0:09:38- I'm going to go for the Pacific. - Pacific?- Yes.

0:09:38 > 0:09:44It's certainly surrounding Australia but it is the Indian.

0:09:44 > 0:09:49The Indian Ocean, the Cocos Islands. Second question, Daphne.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51The Pantanal region, mainly located in Brazil,

0:09:51 > 0:09:56is often described as the world's largest area of which land type?

0:10:00 > 0:10:05I've not heard of it, so it's going to be a complete guess.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10I will go for, um...

0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Wetland.- Wetland. Why?

0:10:13 > 0:10:19Well, I don't think it's coniferous forest, but I've got no idea.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22- It's either that or grassland.- Yeah.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26- Wetland is the right answer.- Oh!

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Amazonian based, is it?

0:10:28 > 0:10:30It drains into the Amazon.

0:10:30 > 0:10:35It's a huge swamp, hundreds of miles in any direction.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Ahmed, you need to get this.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Which mountain that forms the forefinger

0:10:40 > 0:10:45of the Range of the Awful Hand, is the highest point in Scotland's Southern Uplands?

0:10:49 > 0:10:54Not really sure about this, Dermot. It's going to be a complete guess.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57I've not heard of any of them.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00I'm going to go for...

0:11:00 > 0:11:03- Black Hag.- Black Hag.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07The Range of the Awful Hand, what a fantastic name!

0:11:07 > 0:11:11In the Southern Uplands. It is Merrick.

0:11:11 > 0:11:16Merrick, not Black Hag. More or less the same pattern...

0:11:16 > 0:11:22It IS the same pattern as the last round. We end it there. You won't be in the final round.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:11:25 > 0:11:29The Hopviners have lost two brains from the final round.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32The Eggheads are all there, but early days!

0:11:32 > 0:11:36Plenty more quizzing to come. Our next subject is Film & Television.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Who'd like to play this?

0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Gemma, Mike or Phil? - AHMED: We know who's doing this.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45- I think it's going to be me. - OK, Gemma.- Yeah.

0:11:45 > 0:11:50Daphne and Judith have played. One of the boys - Pat, Barry or Chris.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52The boys! Ha ha!

0:11:52 > 0:11:56I'd be tempted to go for Barry.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58- I would think so. - OK, then.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01You are the team captain.

0:12:01 > 0:12:05- The decision's yours! - I will play against Barry, please.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09It's going to be Gemma and Barry contesting Film & Television.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12Could I ask you both to go to the question room?

0:12:12 > 0:12:17Gemma, you're a busy journalist. Do you watch much film and television?

0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Yes. Quite a lot.- Good.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22My DVD collection's extensive.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26- So, yes.- And what favourite films?

0:12:26 > 0:12:30- There's just too many.- What type?

0:12:30 > 0:12:34I love fast-paced ones you can really get your teeth into.

0:12:36 > 0:12:41The Bourne films, I really enjoy them. Matt Damon's quite a hottie.

0:12:41 > 0:12:46We had a few questions about him in the last few Eggheads.

0:12:46 > 0:12:52- See if any more come up. Would you like to go first or second? - I'm going to go first please.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59Good luck, Gemma. The TV drama series Playing The Field,

0:12:59 > 0:13:03first shown in 1998, concerned a women's team in which sport?

0:13:05 > 0:13:09I vaguely remember watching this.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12But, er...

0:13:12 > 0:13:15I know the answer is football.

0:13:15 > 0:13:20It was basically about women pushing the barriers and playing football.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24- My answer's football. - It's the correct answer. Well done.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26Barry, Fay Ripley played

0:13:26 > 0:13:30a character called Jenny Gifford in which TV series?

0:13:32 > 0:13:36I really loved this series, especially Fay Ripley's performance.

0:13:36 > 0:13:41- She was in Cold Feet.- Cold Feet. Must get her autograph for you.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44Ooh, yes please!

0:13:44 > 0:13:49That'd warm your feet up! Cold Feet is right. Yeah.

0:13:49 > 0:13:56Gemma, who presented the TV series Adventures In Architecture and Around The World In 80 Treasures?

0:14:00 > 0:14:05I watch Kevin McCloud on Grand Designs.

0:14:05 > 0:14:11Um... And it's architecture and treasures.

0:14:11 > 0:14:16I don't think it's David Dimbleby.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20I'm going to guess at Kevin McCloud.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Kevin McCloud, architecture and 80 treasures.

0:14:23 > 0:14:27All well-qualified to do such shows, but it's Dan Cruickshank.

0:14:27 > 0:14:32Dan Cruickshank on Adventures In Architecture.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Well, see how Barry does with his second one.

0:14:35 > 0:14:39Who directed the 1955 film Rebel Without A Cause?

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Ah, that was Marlon Brando.

0:14:44 > 0:14:49Had one of the most wonderful lines in screen history.

0:14:49 > 0:14:53"What are you rebelling against?" He says, "What have you got?"

0:14:53 > 0:14:56I think it was Fred Zinnemann.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58Completely wrong, Barry!

0:14:58 > 0:15:04- Just wrong from start to finish in everything you said.- Everything?

0:15:04 > 0:15:09It's Nicholas Ray and the Eggheads will tell me and I'll tell you...

0:15:09 > 0:15:12James Dean!

0:15:12 > 0:15:15- ..was in Rebel Without A Cause. - Oh, gosh!

0:15:15 > 0:15:19- I got completely the wrong film! - Yeah. Wrong film, wrong actor.

0:15:19 > 0:15:24- On The Waterfront he was thinking of?- No, the Wild One.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Of course!

0:15:26 > 0:15:28Rebel Without A Cause. James Dean.

0:15:28 > 0:15:32Directed by Nicholas Ray. Great news for you, Gemma.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35Your third question.

0:15:35 > 0:15:41Who starred as a US marine ship-wrecked with a nun played by Deborah Karr in the 1957 film

0:15:41 > 0:15:43Heaven Knows, Mr Allison?

0:15:47 > 0:15:52- I think that's WAY before my time! - You might have the DVD!

0:15:52 > 0:15:58Oh, no! Now I wish I'd watched those black and white films with my mum!

0:16:00 > 0:16:07John Wayne, he was in westerns, so I'm going to exclude him.

0:16:10 > 0:16:14I'm going to go for... Burt Lancaster.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18Burt Lancaster and Deborah Karr in Heaven Knows, Mr Allison?

0:16:18 > 0:16:23- You're right about John Wayne, but it is Robert Mitchum.- Oh, no!

0:16:25 > 0:16:27You CAN win the round...

0:16:27 > 0:16:31I should deduct points, by the way, for the last answer.

0:16:31 > 0:16:36I can't, so you have the chance to win the round with this.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40Which TV character was created by the writer and producer GF Newman?

0:16:43 > 0:16:46I don't think it was Lovejoy.

0:16:46 > 0:16:51- GF Newman. I think it was Judge John Deed.- Judge John Deed.

0:16:51 > 0:16:56Deals in justice, and INjustice has been done. You've won.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Bad luck, Gemma. It's not fair.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00I'm afraid it's the rules.

0:17:00 > 0:17:05You're meant to be an Egghead! You won't be in the final round, Gemma.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Please come back and join your teams.

0:17:08 > 0:17:13Well, three Hopviners gone. No Eggheads after that round.

0:17:13 > 0:17:19Can the Hopviners stop a clean sweep here from the Eggheads with our next category?

0:17:19 > 0:17:23Our last head-to-head is History. Mike or Phil?

0:17:23 > 0:17:25History. What are you like?

0:17:25 > 0:17:29No good. I'll give it a go but I'm poor.

0:17:31 > 0:17:35Have you decided, Phil? Yeah. Go on. I'll do it.

0:17:35 > 0:17:39- Give it a go, Phil?- Yeah. - You've got Chris or Pat to play.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42- I'll take Chris.- Chris, OK.

0:17:42 > 0:17:48It's Phil and Chris, then, taking on History. Into the question room, please.

0:17:48 > 0:17:53- Phil, do you want to go first or second?- I'll go first, Dermot.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58It's History, first question.

0:17:58 > 0:18:04D-Day, in which Allied forces invaded northern France by means of beach landings in Normandy,

0:18:04 > 0:18:07occurred on which date in June 1944?

0:18:11 > 0:18:15Um, right, not really sure about this one at all.

0:18:18 > 0:18:23Simply because it was the 6th month, I'll go for the 6th.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26I see. OK. 6th of the 6th. It's the right answer.

0:18:26 > 0:18:31Not sure if they just wanted the 6th of the 6th.

0:18:31 > 0:18:35It was all to do with moons and tides and weather conditions.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Foul weather. They were delayed by weeks.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40- So it would have been May? - Yeah.

0:18:40 > 0:18:436th June 1944,

0:18:43 > 0:18:46the Normandy landings identified by Phil.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49Which city in northern England did the Romans make the capital

0:18:49 > 0:18:53of a new province of Lower Britain in the third century?

0:18:55 > 0:19:00Neither Liverpool nor Bradford existed in any recognisable form.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02It was Eboracum, York.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06Right, OK. York is the correct answer. Well done.

0:19:08 > 0:19:12Old Noll was a nickname of which historical figure?

0:19:16 > 0:19:20Old Noll, N-O-L-L, was a nickname of which historical figure?

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Old Noll.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Right, um...

0:19:25 > 0:19:30Don't think it's Bonnie Prince Charlie. Um...

0:19:30 > 0:19:33Old Noll.

0:19:33 > 0:19:37Don't think it's Cromwell. I'll go for Thomas Wolsey.

0:19:37 > 0:19:38OK. Wolsey.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42It's not. Old Noll is...

0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Chris? - Oliver Cromwell.

0:19:45 > 0:19:49Oliver Cromwell. Not your question, though.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Where did British forces under Sir Eyre Coote

0:19:52 > 0:19:58defeat the French under the Comte de Lally at the Battle of Wandiwash in 1760?

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Hm.

0:20:03 > 0:20:09There were wars in North America then against the French over Canada.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15It wasn't Ireland. The French were trying to muscle in on India.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17- It's India.- India.

0:20:17 > 0:20:21What great names. Sir Eyre Coote!

0:20:21 > 0:20:24The Comte de Lally. The Battle of Wandiwash in India.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27It's the right answer. You have two.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29Phil, you need to get this.

0:20:29 > 0:20:34In which role did Hanna Reitsch become famous in Nazi Germany?

0:20:37 > 0:20:42In which role did Hanna Reitsch become famous in Nazi Germany?

0:20:42 > 0:20:47It's Hanna R-E-I-T-S-C-H. Hanna Reitsch.

0:20:47 > 0:20:52Don't think she's a pilot. I'll discount that one.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55Photographer or athlete? Hanna Reitsch?

0:20:55 > 0:20:58Nazi Germany?

0:20:58 > 0:21:01They liked their athletes, that Aryan supremacy.

0:21:01 > 0:21:06But I'm going to plump for a photographer.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Photographer, Hanna Reitsch. Chris?

0:21:08 > 0:21:11No, she was a very good pilot.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14She test flew a V-1 pilotless bomb!

0:21:14 > 0:21:18Originally, the V-1s didn't have a guidance system, they had a pilot.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21They lost two or three, all former jockeys.

0:21:21 > 0:21:25She volunteered to fly one and found out what the problem was.

0:21:25 > 0:21:30She landed it safely and allowed them to develop the V-1 doodlebug.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32She was a pilot.

0:21:32 > 0:21:36She also flew in and out of Berlin in the last days of the Reich.

0:21:36 > 0:21:42- Right.- Pilot.- A definitive answer there from Chris, Phil.

0:21:42 > 0:21:47It is pilot, obviously, the answer, not photographer.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51You won't be in the final round. Please come and join your teams.

0:21:51 > 0:21:57So this is what we've been playing towards, the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00I'm afraid those who lost your head-to-heads

0:22:00 > 0:22:02won't be allowed to take part.

0:22:02 > 0:22:08Gemma, Ahmed, Ray and Phil from the Hopviners, would you leave the studio, please?

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Mike, you're playing to win the Hopviners £21,000.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15Daphne, Chris, Barry, Pat and Judith, you're playing for something which money can't buy,

0:22:15 > 0:22:18the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:18 > 0:22:23I'll ask each team three questions in turn. The questions are all General Knowledge.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25You are allowed to confer.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29The question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?

0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Would you like to go first or second?- Um...

0:22:32 > 0:22:38Considering how badly the rest of the team's done going first, I'll go second.

0:22:41 > 0:22:47- Your team hasn't had the luck. Maybe you're storing it all up. - Could be.- For where it counts.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50Eggheads, first question. Mike's put you in.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53Kersey is a type of what?

0:22:55 > 0:22:57K-E-R-S-E-Y.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Kersey is a type of what?

0:23:00 > 0:23:03That's a cloth, Dermot.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06- What kind of cloth? - I'll have to defer to Daphne.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09- It's sort of woollen. - Woollen?- Yes.

0:23:09 > 0:23:14Kersey is a type of cloth. It's the right answer. Mike...

0:23:14 > 0:23:20Which X Factor singer reached the top of the UK singles chart in April 2010 with Once?

0:23:24 > 0:23:27Which X Factor singer reached the top of the UK singles chart

0:23:27 > 0:23:30in April 2010 with Once?

0:23:30 > 0:23:34This is the sort of time that I wish that Gemma had got through.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38- I don't watch X Factor. - Ah! I was going to ask you that!

0:23:38 > 0:23:42- Gemma with her TV watching would. - Yes.

0:23:42 > 0:23:46I try and stay at the golf club so it's finished when I get home.

0:23:46 > 0:23:50Stacey Solomon had a very high-pitched squeaky voice.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53Can't imagine that she's got to Number One.

0:23:53 > 0:23:59Don't know who Lucie Jones is. I'm going for Diana Vickers.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02Diana Vickers for Once.

0:24:02 > 0:24:07Gemma's very happy. It's the right answer. Well done.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Didn't watch the X Factor

0:24:09 > 0:24:11so that was a tough one for Mike.

0:24:11 > 0:24:17Steve McNamara was named as the new coach of which England national team in April 2010?

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Steve McNamara was named as the new coach

0:24:23 > 0:24:27of which England national team in April 2010?

0:24:28 > 0:24:33- Oh, I don't know! - DAPHNE: I'd go for rugby league.

0:24:33 > 0:24:37- I think there has been some turnover in the managers.- Yes.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39Um...

0:24:39 > 0:24:44Yeah, in the last 12 months they have had a change of manager

0:24:44 > 0:24:48- in the rugby league. - It's only a guess.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51I don't think it'd be swimming. It's too technical.

0:24:51 > 0:24:55Rugby league has a much higher profile than hockey.

0:24:55 > 0:25:00- JUDITH: Absolutely no idea. - We're reduced to a hunch, a guess.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04We don't know, Dermot. We're going to try rugby league.

0:25:04 > 0:25:09- On a hunch?- There's been a change in manager in the last 12 months.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11It's not really solid evidence.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15- Rugby league.- Certainly isn't. Steve McNamara...

0:25:15 > 0:25:18became the new coach of the England...

0:25:18 > 0:25:22rugby league side in April 2010. It's the right answer.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Combined Eggheads working it out.

0:25:24 > 0:25:30Bit of hunch. Bit of inkling. Bit of guess. There you go. Five of them, that's the problem.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34Dealing with it successfully in that first question was Mike.

0:25:34 > 0:25:38He's got to do it with his second question.

0:25:38 > 0:25:43What French word is given to a collar or ring on a candlestick or chandelier,

0:25:43 > 0:25:45used to catch wax drippings?

0:25:49 > 0:25:51What French word is given to a collar

0:25:51 > 0:25:54or ring on a candlestick or chandelier,

0:25:54 > 0:25:56used to catch wax drippings?

0:25:56 > 0:25:59I wasn't very good at French.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04I don't really have a clue.

0:26:04 > 0:26:09Let me try and work out if any of those words mean anything to me.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11Sometimes I get a bit of an inkling,

0:26:11 > 0:26:14but I've got nothing here at the moment, so...

0:26:16 > 0:26:20I'm going to take a complete guess.

0:26:22 > 0:26:27And go for... I still don't know which one I'm going to guess at!

0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Passoire.- Passoire.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36Catching wax and drippings, stuff that passes by. I don't know.

0:26:36 > 0:26:40It's not the right answer, Mike. Do you know, Eggheads?

0:26:40 > 0:26:42- It might be bobeche.- It is bobeche.

0:26:42 > 0:26:47A bobeche is the collar on the candlestick.

0:26:47 > 0:26:52Good effort, but not the right answer. So, Eggheads,

0:26:52 > 0:26:54you win the game if you get this.

0:26:54 > 0:27:01Which Cornish town is famous for its traditional celebration Obby Oss Day held at the beginning of May?

0:27:03 > 0:27:09Which Cornish town is famous for its traditional celebration Obby Oss Day

0:27:09 > 0:27:11held at the beginning of May?

0:27:11 > 0:27:13We think that's Padstow, Dermot.

0:27:13 > 0:27:18Definitely Padstow. I used to live quite near Padstow.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21What do they get up to? Obby Oss? Hobby horse?

0:27:21 > 0:27:25They dress up in this extraordinary black get-up, a big circle,

0:27:25 > 0:27:29with skirts, and the man inside it dances round the town.

0:27:29 > 0:27:34- They have a horse involved? - That is the horse, the obby oss.

0:27:34 > 0:27:38CHRIS: Weird black oilskin creation, disc thing.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41Great pointed hat. < Yeah.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Sounds, er, great fun.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46At the beginning of May, it's held in Padstow.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48Eggheads, you've won.

0:27:54 > 0:28:00Mike, it really was bad luck. You never really got going. It's the way the questions fell.

0:28:00 > 0:28:06Good players in those head-to-heads and they got one or two dodgy old questions and bang!

0:28:06 > 0:28:09The wheels came well and truly off!

0:28:09 > 0:28:11- I hope you enjoyed the experience. - Fantastic.

0:28:11 > 0:28:15- Good to see the pros in action, up close and personal.- Excellent.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18Thank you very much indeed.

0:28:18 > 0:28:22Those Eggheads have done what comes naturally. Their winning streak continues.

0:28:22 > 0:28:27You won't be going home with £21,000. The money rolls over to the next show.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:30 > 0:28:35Join us to see if a new team of challengers has the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37£22,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
