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 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Question 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 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34You may recognise them as they've won some of the toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39They are the Eggheads. Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today:
0:00:40 > 0:00:45This friends and family team are Darlington Football Club fans.
0:00:45 > 0:00:51As well as sitting together in Block 18 of the football stadium, they quiz together at their local pub,
0:00:51 > 0:00:53The Pennyweight. Let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hello. I'm Vince. I'm 66 and a retired civil servant.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hello. I'm Mark. I'm 47 and I'm a person-centred plan facilitator.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hello. I'm Gavin. I'm 49 and I'm a taxi driver.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Hi. I'm Sue. I'm 33 and I'm an activities organiser.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Hi, I'm Katy. I'm 30 and I'm a design technology teacher.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Welcome to you, Block 18.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21Tell me about Darlington's ground. Isn't it a new stadium you moved to recently?
0:01:21 > 0:01:27- In 2003, I think.- Yes.- We moved from Feethams, our old ground
0:01:27 > 0:01:33up to the new ground, built by George Reynolds.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38- So it's very plush? What's the capacity there now?- 25,000.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44- Lovely.- We only get, if we're lucky, 2,500 people in!
0:01:44 > 0:01:49So a bitter space, should the Eggheads want to muscle in! Any room in Block 18?
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Not at the moment because they've closed that down and we're moved to Block 17!
0:01:54 > 0:01:58OK, you're Block 17/18!
0:01:58 > 0:02:03Where is it located? Are you on the halfway line or behind the goal?
0:02:03 > 0:02:08We're just behind the goal because we like to see all the goals, obviously.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11But we haven't seen many recently!
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Too many from the other lot?
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- That's right, yes.- What about quizzing at the Pennyweight?
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- How good are you?- We do quite well. We're normally in the first three.
0:02:21 > 0:02:27- And we win quite often. - OK. You're guaranteed to be in the first two here.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30But you need to finish first to get the money. Let's play. Every day,
0:02:30 > 0:02:34there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers. However,
0:02:34 > 0:02:38if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Block 18, the Eggheads have won the last 23 games
0:02:42 > 0:02:47and that means £24,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Our first head-to-head is History.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Who wants to play this one?- Kate?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- You want me to do this? - I think it's Katy.- Yes?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Who would you like to play, Katy?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Who am I going to play?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I would say...CJ?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- CJ. I'll play CJ.- OK.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11It's decided. Katy and CJ are playing this history round.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16Please both take your positions in the Question Room so you can't confer.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Let's give it a go. First or second?
0:03:21 > 0:03:22I think I'll go first.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27First question coming your way.
0:03:27 > 0:03:33Which country was ruled by the Zhou dynasty? Z-H-O-U.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35For approximately 800 years?
0:03:37 > 0:03:44I don't really know, but taking from the spelling, I'd guess at China.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47China. Right answer and a good start.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Which English king was born in 1491?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Henry VIII.- Yes, indeed.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Both successfully negotiating their first questions.
0:04:03 > 0:04:09Katy, which company manufactured the Halifax heavy bomber in the Second World War?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14I'm afraid I haven't got a clue!
0:04:14 > 0:04:20I'm going to go with an Eggheads' way of answering the question.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I'm going for the middle option, Handley Page.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Is that what you reckon the Eggheads do?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30You know, you've landed it! Handley Page.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Manufactured the Halifax.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38CJ, the medieval text book called the Malleus Maleficarum
0:04:38 > 0:04:43specifically referred to the identification and punishment of which type of people?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Yes, it's quite an interesting rambling text.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I've read some of it.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56It goes on how to identify, by very spurious methods, to put it loosely,
0:04:56 > 0:05:01- witches.- Witches. Is this all about ducking them and...- Basically, yes.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05But some of it's very obscure and not very pleasant.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Horrible stuff. It is witches. Well identified, CJ.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13OK. Going really well here, Katy.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17This might get you into the final round. In which ancient city
0:05:17 > 0:05:20did the Queen called Zenobia have her capital?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Again I haven't really got a clue!
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Since I haven't got a clue, I don't think it will be the middle one.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34So I'm going for Sardis.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Wrong side! It's Palmyra!
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Bad luck! Not in the middle, you're right about that!
0:05:40 > 0:05:42OK. See what CJ does.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45At the Congress of Vienna that followed the Napoleonic Wars,
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Count Nesselrode, N-E-S-S-E-L-R-O-D-E, all one word,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52was the representative of which European power?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I'm afraid I haven't heard of the gentleman,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00but the spelling of the word is Germanic.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06I haven't heard of him but going on the spelling and the language
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I'll say Austria.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11For Nesselrode. It is Russia.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13So a let-off, Katy.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16It's all square and we go to Sudden Death.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19No more of those options to look at.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21What's the name of the battle that took place
0:06:21 > 0:06:25on 25 June 1876 in present-day Montana,
0:06:25 > 0:06:30when some 260 men of the US Cavalry met their deaths
0:06:30 > 0:06:34at the hands of a much larger Native American force?
0:06:34 > 0:06:39As part of my GCSE course, we did history of the American West.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42But I don't think that's going to help me much!
0:06:42 > 0:06:49I'm going to say Battle of Little Big Horn, cos that's all I can remember from my GCSE history!
0:06:49 > 0:06:53It's the right answer, yes. Little Big Horn.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57And a certain general featuring in that, CJ?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Armstrong Custer.- Yes.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Custer's last stand.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06That means CJ needs to get this. In 1548, at the age of five,
0:07:06 > 0:07:11which queen was sent to France to be brought up by her future in-laws, and ten years later,
0:07:11 > 0:07:12married the Dauphin?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15It should be Mary, Queen of Scots, but let me check.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20I'm fairly sure she married the Dauphin.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Yes, Mary, Queen of Scots.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Is the right answer. Well done, CJ. Being careful there.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Katy, another question. Going well.
0:07:28 > 0:07:34Which part of the Royal Navy was described by Admiral of the Fleet Sir Arthur Wilson
0:07:34 > 0:07:38as "underhand, underwater and damned un-English"
0:07:38 > 0:07:41when it first became operational in 1901?
0:07:41 > 0:07:45I really don't know. I'd assume it's got something to do with submarines
0:07:45 > 0:07:47due to the underwater reference.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49But I don't really know.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53So I'm just going to say something to do... Submarines.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55But I don't know!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58I accept it. Right answer. Submarine service.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I'll accept it. Well done.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03"Damned un-English!"
0:08:03 > 0:08:06I like that! Because it was a bit sneaky!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Yes!- OK.
0:08:08 > 0:08:14Well done, Katy. Two Sudden Death questions right. Pressure's back on CJ.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17From 1964 to 1973,
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Constantine II was king of which country?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23(Greece.) Greece!
0:08:23 > 0:08:27I hardly heard it. Right answer. King Constantine of Greece
0:08:27 > 0:08:29identified by CJ.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Katy going fabulously. Another question.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34In the 12th century BC,
0:08:34 > 0:08:40which people settled in Palestine and established a league of five city states -
0:08:40 > 0:08:45Ashdod, Ashkelon, Ekron, Gath and Gaza?
0:08:45 > 0:08:50The only thing that's coming to mind, because of Palestine, is the Israelites.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- So I'll say the Israelites. - The Israelites.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57I'm not going to accept that. It's not the Israelites.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59It is Philistines.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01The Philistines.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05OK, let's see what CJ does. It's not over, Katy.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Which South American city was first established
0:09:07 > 0:09:12by the Spanish explorer Pedro de Mendoza in 1536?
0:09:12 > 0:09:18I don't know this. Mendoza is mostly associated with Argentina.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21There's a city Mendoza in Argentina.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26So I'll have a wild guess and go for the capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Buenos Aires. Too much knowledge there. It's the right answer.
0:09:30 > 0:09:36And just got through to the final round. Good performance, Katy. Bad luck.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41You won't be in the final. I think you'd have been an asset to Block 18 if you had been.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43But please come back and join your teams.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50A real quality first round in which the Egghead just gained the upper hand.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53That was CJ, so all five Eggheads are still there
0:09:53 > 0:09:56and one member of Block 18 will be missing from the final.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Our next subject, then, is Sport.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03I bet you like this, Block 18. Who wants to play it?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Gavin.- Gavin.- Definitely Gavin.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09OK, Gavin. Which Egghead? Can't be CJ.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Kevin, please.- Give Kevin a go.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Give him a bit of an outing!
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Gavin and Kevin playing Sport, please into the Question Room.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26Gavin. Sport. You're very much into sport, football. Would you like to go first or second?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29First, Dermot, please.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36First question is a football question. Which football team
0:10:36 > 0:10:39won the 2009/10 Premier League?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Darlington doesn't seem to be on the list!
0:10:45 > 0:10:48We're a few leagues below that, Dermot,
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- at the moment!- Not for long!
0:10:50 > 0:10:55But the team that won the Premiership is Chelsea.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Chelsea. Yes, the answer's Chelsea.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59OK.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Kevin,
0:11:03 > 0:11:07what role did Graham Thorpe perform for the England cricket team?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11He wasn't a bowler.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15No, he was a batsman. Batsman.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Batsman is correct. Off the mark there too.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Back to Gavin.
0:11:19 > 0:11:25In which year did the tennis player Billie Jean King first win the Ladies Singles at Wimbledon?
0:11:29 > 0:11:35I seem to remember she went on well into the '70s
0:11:35 > 0:11:38possibly the early '80s.
0:11:38 > 0:11:45But I've just got a feeling that she did win one title very early.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I've got a feeling it might have been 1966.
0:11:48 > 0:11:55OK. '66. World Cup year for England and Billie Jean King won her first title at Wimbledon. Yep!
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Kevin, which golfer won the Open four times
0:12:03 > 0:12:05between 1868 and 1872?
0:12:08 > 0:12:13The other two were much later. This was Tom Morris Jr.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16There were lots of Juniors and Seniors at that time.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18But he's the one who fits the dates.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Yes, it's the right answer. Tom Morris Jr.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23OK, Gavin.
0:12:23 > 0:12:29Which rugby union club did Nick Abendanon, Matt Banahan and Shontayne Hape represent
0:12:29 > 0:12:32during the 2009/10 season?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Unfortunately, I'm not a big rugby fan.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43I don't think it'll be middle again.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46It's a pure guess. I'll go for Leicester Tigers.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49OK. Leicester Tigers. Trying the placing technique!
0:12:49 > 0:12:52It's entirely random. It's Bath Rugby.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Bath Rugby.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56They represent.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59A chance for Kevin to take the round.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04Who collected 3 million in prize money after his horse, Dar Re Mi, triumphed
0:13:04 > 0:13:07at the 2010 Dubai Sheema Classic?
0:13:12 > 0:13:16I'm not... I've simply not heard this, so it could be any of them.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20I haven't heard of Elton John having any racing connection.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23As between the others, I may be entirely wrong,
0:13:23 > 0:13:25but as between the other two,
0:13:25 > 0:13:30it could be either but I'll go for Andrew Lloyd Webber.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34It is Andrew Lloyd Webber. The lord. Right answer.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37The lord of quizzing goes through to the final round.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Bad luck, Gavin.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Just caught out on the last question.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42The rugby question you didn't like.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52Well, in football terms, the Eggheads have popped two goals into the net.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Something you'd be familiar with, watching Darlington!
0:13:55 > 0:13:57But the comeback starts now.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Two brains missing from the final in Block 18.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04All the Eggheads there. Our third head-to-head is Film & Television.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Who'd like to play this? Sue, Mark or Vince?
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- Yes, I'll do it.- OK. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Daphne, Judith or Pat?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17I'll play Judith, please.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Let's have Sue and Judith playing this. Film & Television.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24You need to go to the Question Room, I believe.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Your comeback starts here!
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Sue, they're all supporting you through this round.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- Will you go first or second? - First, please, Dermot.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42In March 2010, it was announced that which US drama
0:14:42 > 0:14:45was to end after eight series?
0:14:49 > 0:14:54Um, well, I've not actually watched any of these.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I don't think it's House.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01And I don't think it's FlashForward. So I think it's 24.
0:15:01 > 0:15:0324. Yes, you're right.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Judith,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10in which year was the TV comedy show
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Shooting Stars first broadcast?
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Um, I think it's something that was on a long time ago
0:15:21 > 0:15:23so maybe it's 1983.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27'93, it started. 1993.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30That's what we wanted, Block 18.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33A slip-up by an Egghead. Right. Sue,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36what is the name of the villain played by Michael Lonsdale
0:15:36 > 0:15:38in the James Bond film Moonraker?
0:15:42 > 0:15:47Ooh, now then, I've got to think.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I don't think it's Max Zorin.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54And I don't think it's Hugo Drax.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- I'm going to go for Francisco Scaramanga.- Scaramanga.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00In Moonraker. It's not right.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05CJ will enlighten us. Scaramanga. Is that Man with the Golden Gun?
0:16:05 > 0:16:10Yes, that's Christopher Lee. Max Zorin is Christopher Walken in A View to a Kill.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Hugo Drax is Moonraker. - Hugo Drax, Sue.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Hugo Drax in Moonraker played by Michael Lonsdale.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18You're still in the lead, though.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20See what Judith does with this one.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Maggie Smith received the sixth Oscar nomination of her career
0:16:24 > 0:16:27for her performance in which 2001 film?
0:16:31 > 0:16:37It's which film was in 2001. I don't think it's Ladies in Lavender.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41I would imagine it's more likely to be Tea With Mussolini.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43No, it's Gosford Park.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Gosford Park. So...
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Sue, that slip-up on the second one didn't matter.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54You go through to the final round if you get a right answer here.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Who wrote the screenplay for, and played the leading role in
0:16:58 > 0:17:02the 1980s film Give My Regards to Broad Street?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Ooh, now then.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12I'm not sure on this one.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16It's going to have to be a bit of a guess, I think.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21I'm going to say...
0:17:23 > 0:17:25..Roger Daltrey.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Roger Daltrey, Give My Regards to Broad Street.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32They've all done a bit of acting in their time.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34But it's not Roger Daltrey.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36It's Paul McCartney.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Paul McCartney in Give My Regards to Broad Street.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42So, a chance for Judith
0:17:42 > 0:17:47to take us into Sudden Death. You still might win it if Judith gets this wrong.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Which actor has appeared in the films Kick Ass,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Sherlock Holmes and Robin Hood?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I've never heard of any of them.
0:17:58 > 0:18:04I don't know. I'm going to go down my lucky side and say Stephen Graham.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09Stephen Graham. Your lucky side isn't this time!
0:18:09 > 0:18:11It's the other side, Mark Strong.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16- The international superstar, Mark Strong.- What? He's not that much...
0:18:16 > 0:18:18He's very well known. Mark Strong.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21I want to look at that scoreboard again.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Let's leave it on screen for a while.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Oh, shut up, Dermot!
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- Don't be so mean! - No, I'm bigging up Sue.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Just how important that first answer was.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35It's got you through into the final round.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I knew the fight-back would start there. Two-one.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47You're missing two brains from the final, the Eggheads missing one.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Our last head-to-head coming up is Geography.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Vince or Mark, can you knock an Egghead out on Geography?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Yeah, that's me. Yep.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I'm the sacrificial lamb.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03OK, Vince. Who would you like to play? Who's left? Pat or Daphne.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Daphne, please.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Daphne.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Vince and Daphne playing this Geography round.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Into the Question Room, please.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Vince, do you go to Darlington away games as well?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Only a few, now.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21I did, a couple of seasons ago, go to quite a few.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25But because of the poor results I decided to knock it on the head!
0:19:26 > 0:19:30That's good for the geographical knowledge of the UK.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42First question. Oman is bordered to the south by which sea?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51It could be all three, actually, As far as I'm concerned!
0:19:51 > 0:19:56But I think I'll go for the Arabian Sea.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01Arabian Sea, yes, the right answer. Oman bordered by the Arabian Sea.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Daphne,
0:20:03 > 0:20:06what is the official monetary unit of Hong Kong?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13The last time I was there, it was the dollar.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Hong Kong dollar is the right answer, yes.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Vince,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20the popular tourist destination of Lamu
0:20:20 > 0:20:24is an island in the Indian Ocean administered as part of which country?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29This is interesting.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I'm not sure about this at all.
0:20:32 > 0:20:38I think I'll go for an educated guess and say...
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- ..Mozambique.- Mozambique for Lamu.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45It's not, Vince. No.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Do you know, Daphne? Tanzania or Kenya?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- I would have guessed at Tanzania. - Interesting.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- It's Kenya.- Kenya.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I like the way you try and get it in there!
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Nothing there for Vince.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00This is your question, Daphne.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Milford Sound, a fjord described by Rudyard Kipling
0:21:03 > 0:21:07as the eighth Wonder of the World, is located in which country?
0:21:10 > 0:21:14I've heard the quotation. I think it's New Zealand.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18New Zealand is the right answer. Yes.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- I didn't know Kipling made it to New Zealand.- I didn't, either.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24That's why I remembered the quotation!
0:21:24 > 0:21:25I see.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29OK. Milford Sound is in New Zealand.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31That means you've got to get this, Vince.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Paris is the capital of which French region?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40I haven't got the foggiest idea!
0:21:40 > 0:21:44I'm not very good at French geography.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47I think I'll go for Auvergne.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48OK.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53No, it's not. That's quite a way out. Daphne?
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- Ile-de-France. - It is the Ile-de-France.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Which means, Vince, the round is over.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Daphne's got enough to clinch it already.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Both please come back and join your teams.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10This is what we've been playing towards, the final round.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12General knowledge.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:15 > 0:22:16won't be taking part.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21So, Vince, Gavin and Katy from Block 18 and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:22:21 > 0:22:23would you leave the studio, please?
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Mark and Sue, you're playing to win Block 18 £24,000.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Pat, Kevin, CJ and Daphne,
0:22:30 > 0:22:35you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' very reputation.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42The questions are all general knowledge and you may confer. Mark and Sue,
0:22:42 > 0:22:47are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51We'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Let's see if you can get £24,000.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00First question. On a Spanish tapas menu,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02what food is referred to as gambas?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07We know it's not potatoes.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09We know it's not ham.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12We just came back from Spain last week.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14So we think it's prawns.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Did you have any gambas?
0:23:16 > 0:23:17We did!
0:23:17 > 0:23:20And you got prawns. Right answer. Well done.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24All right. Eggheads, Owl City
0:23:24 > 0:23:28spent three weeks at the top of the UK singles chart in early 2010
0:23:28 > 0:23:29with which song?
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Fireflies.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38I think it's a song about his insomnia. Fireflies.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- Is that what it's about? - I think so.- Correct.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Block 18, Mark and Sue. Good start.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50Second question. What is the cube root of 512?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- Ooh, maths!- Quite difficult.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Neither of us are very good at maths, are we?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00No. Cube root.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Shall we go...
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- What do you think?- 12 12s is 144.
0:24:08 > 0:24:1112 12s is 144. I know that much.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Cube root. No, I don't know.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16We'll have to take a guess.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- Which one are we going to guess at? - Middle?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- Yes?- Yeah.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24We haven't got a clue. Not very good at maths.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27So we're going for the middle. 12.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32- 12 is the wrong answer. It's eight. - Right.- Eight is the answer.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38Eggheads, what colour is the top stripe of the national flag of the Netherlands?
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- I think...- Blue's at the top.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48The Netherlands flag and the Luxembourg flag are much the same
0:24:48 > 0:24:51other than the shade of blue. It's red, white, blue.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I think it's in that order from top to bottom.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Yeah, the blue...
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Let me just think, to make double-sure.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03I'm doubting it now.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Yes, so am I, actually.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Yeah, I'm getting mixed up.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16I'm getting mixed up. Did I say the shade of blue was different?
0:25:17 > 0:25:21It's actually the shade of red, isn't it?
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- The Dutch one was originally based on orange.- Yes.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30So I think it's blue at the top.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- So it's blue.- The more I think about it...- Blue at the top.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36The red doesn't...
0:25:36 > 0:25:39If you put blue at the top, it seems more prominent.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Yeah, it's blue at the top.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43You were thinking blue as well?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46I wasn't very comfortable, but I'd say blue.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- I've changed my mind. I think it's blue.- I agree with you.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- We've had quite a bit of discussion. - You bet!
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- We think it's blue.- Blue.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Too much discussion - you talked yourself out of red!
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Which is the right answer.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- You'd stared at it too long and turned it upside-down!- Yeah.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Great news, Block 18. All square. Everything to play for.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12£24,000 still well within your grasp.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14A correct answer here would get you closer to it.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19Here you go. A Percheron is a breed of which creature?
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- I don't know.- I've never heard of a Percheron.- Neither have I.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30I think we've have heard it if it was a type of horse.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- I don't know! - Maybe it's a type of cow.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Shall we go for the middle?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Or do you think it's a type of cow?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- Yeah, we'll go for cow. - Right, we'll go for cow.- Yeah.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- We don't know, but we'll go for cow, Dermot.- OK.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50A Percheron. Is it a cow, Eggheads?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52A horse.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54A horse.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Well, horse not identified by Block 18. They went for the cow.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02It means the Eggheads have a chance in spite of that second question.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Eggheads, which author wrote
0:27:04 > 0:27:09the 2010 novella The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- Can we just check, Bree is B-R-E-E? - Yes.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Stepenie Meyer.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20It's a kind of offshoot of the Twilight stories.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22She's in the Twilight series.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24That's Stephenie Meyer.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27It's the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Bad luck, Block 18. Just couldn't get going in that round.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41With the Eggheads getting one wrong, I thought something might go right for you.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Unfortunately, it didn't, as in the head-to-heads.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49But yours, Sue, was a memorable victory over Judith.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Get that first question right and you never know.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Thank you for coming to tell us about Darlington Football Club.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Best of luck for the future. The only way is up!
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Yes!
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Keep the faith, as they say.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10I'm afraid you won't go home with the £24,000.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12The money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:15 > 0:28:20Join us next time to see if a new team have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22£25,000 says they don't.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Until then, goodbye!
