0:00:04 > 0:00:08These 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.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:39 > 0:00:42are the Avocado Appreciation Society.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46This team all work together at Hull City Council.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50I'll let the team captain Andy explain their name. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I'm Andy, I'm 30 and I work in market research.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Melanie, I'm 40 and I work in policy.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Rich, I'm 29 and I'm an analyst.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Gavin, I'm 47 and I work in policy.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, my name is Graham, I'm 39 and I'm a project manager.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11Welcome to you, Avocado Appreciation Society. Tell us all about it, Andy.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15I've got to say, we're not the real Avocado Appreciation Society.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20It's just a silly name that we have as a team. We went out for a team lunch once.
0:01:20 > 0:01:26They'd run out of avocados in the restaurant and we told them we were the Avocado Appreciation Society
0:01:26 > 0:01:32and we'd come a long way to sample the avocados and the name stuck from then on.
0:01:32 > 0:01:38It's just one of those silly moments, isn't it? Poor waitress, what did she say?
0:01:38 > 0:01:42She actually believed us and we had to tell her that wasn't the case.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46I see. You did disabuse her. Do you actually like avocados?
0:01:46 > 0:01:51- Some of you were about to order them. No?- I can't stand them.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56It's getting better and better. I wonder if there is an Avocado Appreciation Society?
0:01:56 > 0:02:00There must be a trade body that promotes the eating of avocados.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- I hope they don't get angry with us. - Let's see what happens today.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09Every day, there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16The Eggheads have won just the last game.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20That means £2,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:20 > 0:02:26Our first head-to-head battle, rather appropriately after that discussion, is Food & Drink.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Who'd like to start this one?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Rich?
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- I'll take it if you want, but... - Rich, are you really good?
0:02:34 > 0:02:38You're best on Politics and Geography if they come up.
0:02:38 > 0:02:44- Are you good on Food & Drink?- Not at all.- This is a bad start.- This is a really bad subject for all of us.
0:02:44 > 0:02:50- I'll bite the bullet. I'll go first. - Rich will take it.- Get it over and done with.- Right, Rich.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54You can choose any Egghead you like. They're all unspoken for.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Who do you reckon we should go for?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Barry?- What do you think? - I think Barry.- Barry?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- I think Barry, yeah. Take a risk. - Barry?
0:03:03 > 0:03:08- Go on then.- Barry.- Rich and Barry, the opening round, Food & Drink.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13Could I ask you both to go to the question room where you can't confer with your team-mates?
0:03:13 > 0:03:18- Rich, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Good luck, Rich. Petticoat tails are a form of which Scottish foodstuff?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Well, my grandma is actually Scottish,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35so I should know the answer to this one.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I don't think it's haggis.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43And I'm pretty sure it's not porridge. I'll go for shortbread.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Very good, yes. Good on the grandma there.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Shortbread is correct.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Barry, what term is given to dough kept back from a batch of bread
0:03:53 > 0:03:57to be used as the raising agent for future bread-making?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03I always wondered what sourdough was and I think I now know.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- I think it must be sourdough. - Yeah, it's the right answer.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Rich, Camembert cheese is traditionally made from the milk of which animal?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20I was kind of expecting a cheese question with Food & Drink,
0:04:20 > 0:04:24but I was hoping that cheese would be the answer. It's going to be a guess.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28I am going to go for goat's cheese.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31OK, Camembert cheese is made from the milk
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- of the cow.- Oh, no.- The cow. It's not goat's cheese.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37It gives Barry a chance.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Crusted and premium ruby are types of which fortified drink?
0:04:43 > 0:04:47I know this one because I have a bottle of crusted port at home.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- The answer is port.- Crusted and premium ruby are types of port.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55It's the right answer. You've got to get this, Rich.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00What French term applies to the process that involves putting ingredients
0:05:00 > 0:05:04in vacuum-packed plastic bags and cooking them at low temperatures
0:05:04 > 0:05:07in temperature-maintained water baths?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Well...
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I haven't done French since GCSE.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21For some reason, I don't think it's "sous-valeur",
0:05:21 > 0:05:23so I'm going to rule that one out.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28For some reason, I'm drawn towards "sous-vetement".
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- That's my final answer. - OK, "sous-vetement"...
0:05:31 > 0:05:34And it is "sous...sous-vide".
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Oh, no.- "Sous-vide". Bad luck.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Judith, you're good at French.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- "Vetements" are clothes?- Yes.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47- I've never heard of that.- What's "sous-vide"?- It means "empty". - That's the vacuum.- Yeah.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49That would be the clue there.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Bad luck, Rich. You're not going to be in the final round.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Barry's already achieved enough to get there.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:05:59 > 0:06:06Avocado Appreciators, you're one brain down from the final round. The Eggheads are all there.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Our next subject today is Music.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Who'd like to play this one?
0:06:10 > 0:06:15- It's got to be Graham.- I'll give it a go.- Should we not keep him for General Knowledge?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- We can keep Gav for that. Graham?- Let's go for it.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23- It's going to be Graham.- Which Egghead would you like to play? It can't be Barry.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- Who do you think?- Judith? - Yeah, I think so.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Yeah, Judith.- Judith.
0:06:29 > 0:06:35OK, Judith it is. Let's have Graham and Judith into the question room, please.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- OK, Graham, do you want to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Best of luck, Graham. The tuned bars that produce the sound on a glockenspiel
0:06:49 > 0:06:52are made from which material?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I'm sure it's not ivory because that would be a piano.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01I've never seen a glockenspiel made of plastic. It'll have to be metal.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06Metal is the correct answer. Good start, Graham. Judith...
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Which word is "prog" short for in the term "prog rock"?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I imagine that must be "progressive".
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Is it, Barry?- It is indeed. - Big fan in your time?- I have been.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- I've rocked with the best of them. - Rocked with the best of them.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24It's hard to believe, isn't it?
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Let's confirm that it is "progressive" for "prog rock"
0:07:28 > 0:07:30and move on to second questions.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Graham, during his early career,
0:07:32 > 0:07:38which animal name formed part of the stage name of the American musician John Mellencamp?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44That's one I do know, Dermot. It's Cougar.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Good man. Yes, right answer. Yes, Cougar.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49OK, Judith,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53which group had a UK hit single in 1997 with Bitter Sweet Symphony?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I know it's not Coldplay.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I think it's The Verve.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04It's the right answer, The Verve. Well done.
0:08:06 > 0:08:13Graham, which electro-pop artist and producer was born Adam Wiles in Dumfries in Scotland in 1984?
0:08:17 > 0:08:22Mark Ronson's been in the charts lately, but I don't think it's him.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26I think Calvin Harris had a record out about being born in the '80s,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29so I think I'll go for Calvin Harris.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Good one. It's the right answer. Well done. Well identified.
0:08:33 > 0:08:39You're in pole position. Judith, the orchestral piece entitled Variations On A Theme By Haydn
0:08:39 > 0:08:42was written in 1873 by which composer?
0:08:45 > 0:08:50Well, it wasn't Liszt and I'm trying to do it on dates if I can.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I think it was Brahms.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57Brahms... It's the right answer. Well done. Brahms.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Variations On A Theme By Haydn...
0:09:00 > 0:09:06We vary the game now and take away those options. We call it Sudden Death and it's a lot harder, Graham.
0:09:07 > 0:09:13Who had hits in 2009 and 2010 with You've Got The Love and Dog Days Are Over?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17They both sound very familiar songs to me,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20but I cannot recall the artist.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Is it the Scissor Sisters? - Is that your answer?- Yeah.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30It's not the Scissor Sisters. Other Eggheads, do you know?
0:09:30 > 0:09:35- Florence And The Machine.- Florence And The Machine.- Oh, gosh.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38If you put that in a list of three, you might have got it.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40But not in Sudden Death.
0:09:40 > 0:09:47Judith, the Catalogue Aria, which details a graphic outline of the eponymous hero's amorous adventures,
0:09:47 > 0:09:51including 1,003 lovers in Spain alone, features in which of Mozart's operas?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Don Giovanni?
0:09:55 > 0:09:59It's the right answer. Don Giovanni is correct and takes you through
0:09:59 > 0:10:01to the final round.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06Bad luck, Graham. You won't be there. Please come back and join your teams.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Two brains missing from the final round, Avocado Appreciation Society.
0:10:10 > 0:10:17No Eggheads gone. Two more head-to-heads, the first of which is Arts & Books. Who'd like to play?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Who have we got left?
0:10:19 > 0:10:25- Melanie, Gavin or Andy.- You're quite good at this, Melanie.- Yes, I'll do it.- It's got to be you.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- Our expert on Art & Books. - He's bigging you up there, Melanie.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34Who would you like to play from the Eggheads? Pat, Kevin or CJ.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39- CJ's strong at this. And Kevin too. - So avoid Kevin and CJ?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Pat?- Go for Pat.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46- Pat, please, Dermot.- OK, avoiding Kevin and CJ and landing on Pat.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Let's have Melanie and Pat into the question room, please.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- Melanie, do you want to go first or second?- First, please, Dermot.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58OK, Melanie, good luck.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Here's your first question. What is the title of AA Milne's sequel
0:11:03 > 0:11:06to the 1926 classic children's book Winnie The Pooh?
0:11:11 > 0:11:15I have absolutely no idea, so it's going to have to be a guess.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18I'm going to discount The House That Pooh Built.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I'm not sure why.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26I'm going to say The House At Pooh Corner,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29but I have no reason for picking that answer at all.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34This is a question where our younger viewers are looking at the screen
0:11:34 > 0:11:38and going, "Why is she taking so long?" You got it right. Well done.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43And your first question, Pat.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48Which leading author's 1998 novel Digital Fortress concerns government intelligence agencies
0:11:48 > 0:11:50and spying over the internet?
0:11:52 > 0:11:58I think that's one of Dan Brown's multi-million-selling blockbusters,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01along with The Da Vinci Code. Dan Brown.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03It's the right answer, Pat, yes.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Back to you, Melanie.
0:12:05 > 0:12:11Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is an example of an oil painting on which type of surface?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I have seen it because I have been to the Louvre.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I don't think it's slate.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28So it's between stretched canvas and poplar wood.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I think they did paint on wood in the Renaissance, but, um...
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I'm going to say stretched canvas.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Stretched canvas, common for oils, but it's on poplar wood.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Poplar wood, the Mona Lisa...
0:12:42 > 0:12:48So, Pat, your second question. The photographer Irving Penn was born in which country in 1917?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I'm not sure of my answer. I don't know much about him,
0:12:54 > 0:12:58but I've always thought of him as being a United States photographer.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02I've always heard of him as being United States, so I'll go for that.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07OK, always heard about him as being from the United States...
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Yes, he was born there in 1917. It's the right answer.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12So, Melanie, work to be done.
0:13:12 > 0:13:19You need to get this. The sisters Iris and Laura Chase are characters in which novel by Margaret Atwood?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I haven't read the book,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29but I believe that Margaret Atwood wrote The Blind Assassin,
0:13:29 > 0:13:31so I'll say The Blind Assassin.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36The Blind Assassin keeps you in it. Well done, that's correct.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41But that stretched canvas instead of poplar wood is hanging over you.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44A chance for Pat to wrap up the round.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Pat, which artist used naked female models as living paintbrushes
0:13:48 > 0:13:53in creating paintings that he called Anthropometries?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I have a vague memory of this.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04Carl Andre, I think, is a sculptor and an installation merchant,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06so I'm dismissing him.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09So it's either Tzara, who was a Dadaist,
0:14:09 > 0:14:15or Yves Klein, who is remembered in the name of the pigment, Klein Blue.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Tristan Tzara...
0:14:18 > 0:14:23I'm going to have to go with Yves Klein, though I'm uneasy about it.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Yves Klein? It is the right answer, yes.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Yves Klein is correct,
0:14:28 > 0:14:33which carries you into the final round, but only just again.
0:14:33 > 0:14:40That slip-up on the Mona Lisa cost you a place, Melanie. Both, please, come back and join your teams.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45Melanie, Rich and Graham have gone from the Avocado Appreciation Society.
0:14:45 > 0:14:51All the Eggheads are still there. So it's down to Andy and Gavin now. Film and Television.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Who wants to play it?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- That's you.- It's got to be me.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Save you for the final.- Yeah, go on.
0:14:59 > 0:15:05- It's going to be me.- All right, Andy. Who would you like to play? Kevin or CJ down the end?
0:15:05 > 0:15:10- I think Kevin. - He's the cleverest guy out there!
0:15:10 > 0:15:16- - And the rest of them! - My team inform me we're going to go with Kevin.- I see.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21OK, Andy and Kevin are playing this one. Into the Question Room.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Right then, Andy, got to play a captain's innings.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31- Do you want to go first or second? - Carry on the tradition and go first.
0:15:35 > 0:15:41Best of luck, Andy. First question. America Ferrera became famous playing the title role
0:15:41 > 0:15:44in which US TV comedy series?
0:15:46 > 0:15:52- OK, that's a very poor start for me. - You haven't answered yet! - I don't need to!
0:15:52 > 0:15:54I could just pick any one.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59I want to say Ugly Betty. Loads of people will be saying that's wrong,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02but I'll go with that as a guess.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07A few people will say it's wrong, but they'd be wrong. It's correct.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Ugly Betty, America Ferrera.
0:16:11 > 0:16:17Kevin, who sang the theme tune for the long-running TV drama series Heartbeat?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21They've all done acting and singing,
0:16:21 > 0:16:27but the star of the first few series also sang the theme. It was Nick Berry.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Nick Berry, yes. That's correct.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32OK, back to you, Andy.
0:16:32 > 0:16:38The line, "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way," was spoken by which cartoon character
0:16:38 > 0:16:40in a 1988 film?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46OK, em...
0:16:46 > 0:16:52I don't know the answer off the top of my head, but I don't think it's Betty Boop, for some reason.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I certainly remember a film with Jessica Rabbit.
0:16:55 > 0:17:01It's one of those two. I think I'll go with Cruella de Vil as my answer.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Cruella de Vil? It's Jessica Rabbit, as you were thinking.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10You could have done that on dates as the others are way before 1988.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14That was Who Framed Roger Rabbit? A chance for Kevin to take the lead.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Which film comedian was born in Ulverston in 1890?
0:17:22 > 0:17:29All three, British-born comedians who made great careers in American films. This one was Stan Laurel.
0:17:29 > 0:17:35Stan Laurel? A Brit born in Ulverston in 1890. It's correct.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39You've got the lead. Andy, you need this one.
0:17:39 > 0:17:45Which 1949 film musical has a scene in a museum in which a skeleton of a dinosaur is demolished?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Absolutely no idea.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56This is definitely not my category. I don't know.
0:17:56 > 0:18:02It would be a complete and utter guess. I think I'm going to go with On The Town.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- OK. Any reason?- None at all.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- It's the right answer. - There you go.- On The Town.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Kevin, On The Town.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Isn't that about sailors?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- On shore leave in New York.- Yeah.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20On The Town identified by Andy.
0:18:20 > 0:18:26Kevin needs to face another question. The 2010 Palme d'Or winner at the Cannes Film Festival,
0:18:26 > 0:18:31Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, was made in which language?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36It's a Thai film.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40It's a Thai filmmaker who specialises in very weird films
0:18:40 > 0:18:43and this one sounds very weird.
0:18:43 > 0:18:49Uncle Boonmee - it's the correct answer, Kevin. You're through to the final round.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53No shame in losing to this man on this subject, Andy.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58Two out of three is pretty good, but Kevin really knows his films
0:18:58 > 0:19:03and he even knows his Thai films and filmmakers as well.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08No place for you in the final round. Both please come back and join your teams.
0:19:08 > 0:19:14This is what we've been playing towards. It's time for the final round on General Knowledge,
0:19:14 > 0:19:19but those of you who lost won't be allowed to take part.
0:19:19 > 0:19:25Andy, Melanie, Rich and Graham from the Avocado Appreciation Society, would you leave the studio, please?
0:19:26 > 0:19:31Gavin, you're playing to win the Avocado Appreciation Society £2,000.
0:19:31 > 0:19:38Barry, Pat, Judith, Kevin and CJ are playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:38 > 0:19:44I'll ask each team three questions in turn, all general knowledge. And you are allowed to confer.
0:19:44 > 0:19:51Gavin, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five? Do you want to go first or second?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54I think I'll keep with going first.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Well, Gavin, it's been done before. Let's see if you can do it.
0:20:02 > 0:20:08Which nursery rhyme includes the lines, "The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn"?
0:20:14 > 0:20:19I'm torn between Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary and Little Boy Blue.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22I think...
0:20:22 > 0:20:25I'm going to guess now. I think it's...
0:20:27 > 0:20:33- Little Boy Blue. - It IS Little Boy Blue!
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Dredging up nursery rhymes!
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Another one for our younger viewers.
0:20:38 > 0:20:45Eggheads, your first question. Which Latin phrase is often used to refer to someone's former school?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Everyone happy with Alma Mater?- Yup.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53We think, on balance, that's Alma Mater.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58- Alma Mater is correct. How does it translate?- Something mother.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Bounteous mother.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02OK.
0:21:02 > 0:21:09Back to you, Gavin. The coat of arms on the flag of the Vatican City features a pair of crossed what?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Been there, but it was some time ago.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20I'm pretty sure it's not swords.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25I think it's got crosiers in it, but they're not crossed, so I'll go for keys.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30Crossed keys. Well done, Gavin. It's the right answer.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- Symbolising what, Eggheads? - St Peter's symbol.
0:21:34 > 0:21:40- To the kingdom of heaven. - That gives you two, Gavin. Two out of two.
0:21:40 > 0:21:46Which American tennis player won the men's singles title at the Australian Open in 1992 and 1993?
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- I don't think it was Courier. - I do.- Do you?- Go on.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- No, no, this is your...- Oh, well.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Courier only won two Grand Slams, didn't he? One was the French.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- And I thought the other was... - All right, yeah, OK.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- I think Pete Sampras only won the Australian Open twice.- OK.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Agassi won it more than twice.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17So assuming those are the dates... But it's very early for Sampras.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19'92 and '93?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Whereas it is Courier's period.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26- I had an inkling for Courier. - He didn't win Wimbledon.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Did he win the US? Or Australia?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- You thought it was Courier. - I don't know about that.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36It's just the years... It's not Agassi.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39He won it four times.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- So it's Pete Sampras, then? - I think he only won it twice.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Sampras won 14 Grand Slams.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50Seven Wimbledons, five US Opens, that only leaves two Australians.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55But I can't remember if Courier won another apart from the French.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58My instinct is he didn't.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03- But I'm happy to go with anyone else if they have more of an instinct.- No.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07I'll go with yours, CJ. You're the expert on this.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12- We're going to try Pete Sampras. - OK, Pete Sampras.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17Two Australian Open titles. We heard the maths there.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Seven, five and 14 in total.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Pete Sampras won the Australian Open
0:23:21 > 0:23:24in '94 and '97. The answer is Jim Courier.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32Jim Courier, '92 and '93. You had doubts there.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37- OK, well, that's great news, Gavin. - Very good.- Fantastic.
0:23:37 > 0:23:44Right. Have a listen to this and you have beaten the Eggheads if you give me the answer here.
0:23:44 > 0:23:50What is the more common name for the city state in Ancient Greece that is called Lacedaemon?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54This is going to be a guess.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58I don't think it's Sparta.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01I'm going to go for Thebes.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07OK, Thebes you've gone for. It's not, no. Eggheads?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- Sparta.- If that's any comfort!
0:24:10 > 0:24:17- No, it's not!- That's what I mean. It wasn't Corinth. It wasn't a toss-up you were making.
0:24:17 > 0:24:23Well, you still might win it. The Eggheads have got to get this and after that last answer...
0:24:23 > 0:24:30Who was the last British Prime Minister to visit Libya before Tony Blair in 2004?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Anybody got anything?!
0:24:38 > 0:24:45I'm inclined to think it would be just after the war. I'd discount Eden.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50I think Attlee or Churchill. Churchill's the most travelled of those.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55- Was it in the war? - Or Churchill's second term?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58It could have been during the war.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03- Yeah.- After the desert campaign. - Maybe that's too obvious an answer.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07The only thing is Eden dealing with Egypt and all the rest of it.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11- Because of Suez?- Mm. - That's the other thing.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14There was activity in the area.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Is there any reason for Attlee or do we rule that one out?
0:25:18 > 0:25:22We've got to start ruling them out, so best to rule Attlee out.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27- He was much more concerned with home affairs.- Exactly.
0:25:27 > 0:25:34This is maybe completely wrong, but the only thing I'm thinking of is Eden was there for a short time
0:25:34 > 0:25:39from the middle of '55 until early '57, January '57.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42There might not... He was busy.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47There might not have been time... Perhaps it's Churchill in the war.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49I don't know.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Churchill seems more obvious.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Are we going to take a vote or shall we...?
0:25:56 > 0:26:01- Churchill.- Churchill. - If we're forced to vote...
0:26:01 > 0:26:08I'm more inclined to go for anything you say over anything I say, so I'll say Churchill then.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12OK. We're not sure,
0:26:12 > 0:26:16but on balance I think we'll probably plump for Winston Churchill.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Winston Churchill. Gavin - has he won?
0:26:19 > 0:26:24Not yet! Winston Churchill is correct, Eggheads!
0:26:24 > 0:26:261943.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28And a very, very big gap,
0:26:28 > 0:26:31a 61-year gap until Tony Blair.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36Well, Gavin, you've got to do it all over again now.
0:26:36 > 0:26:42It's sudden death, as you know. According to the saying, what does nature abhor?
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Oh...
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I have not got a clue.
0:26:49 > 0:26:55Probably heard this one over and over again and I can't think of it.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00I'm going to put a pure guess in and say...change.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Change. No, Gavin, it's not.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Nature abhors a...- Vacuum. - A vacuum.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11You've got to say it like that and the words come.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13A vacuum there
0:27:13 > 0:27:17in terms of an answer. So a chance to win it, Eggheads.
0:27:17 > 0:27:24In 1754, King's College, which eventually became Columbia University, opened in New York City
0:27:24 > 0:27:29under a grant from which monarch of Great Britain and Ireland?
0:27:29 > 0:27:311754 is George II.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- George II?- Yeah.
0:27:33 > 0:27:39So you're asking who was British king in 1754? We'll go for George II.
0:27:39 > 0:27:45Deciphered instantly by the Eggheads. The rest in-between was not really material to that.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48George II is correct. You've won.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56The lucky Eggheads.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58You're lucky!
0:27:59 > 0:28:06Bad luck with Lacedaemon, Gavin. With a few more brains there, you might have got Sparta
0:28:06 > 0:28:11and beaten the Eggheads. I tell you what prize you do win.
0:28:11 > 0:28:17- Best team name so far.- Definitely. - An absolute cracker. Thank you so much to everyone who played.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22They were all very close and look how close Gavin came.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25You go home with a lot of pride.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33You won't be going home with £2,000 which means the money rolls over.
0:28:33 > 0:28:38Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:38 > 0:28:44Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers can defeat them. £3,000 says they don't. Goodbye.
