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.
0:00:17 > 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 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34You might recognise them, they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Taking on the might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:39 > 0:00:40are the Somerset Starlings.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43This team of friends regularly take part
0:00:43 > 0:00:46in quizzes in and around their home town of Weston-super-Mare
0:00:46 > 0:00:49and even do battle at a regular social club quiz
0:00:49 > 0:00:51against Daphne!
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hello. I'm Alan.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59I'm 68 years old and I am a retired local government officer.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Hello. I'm Andrew.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04I'm 60 years old and I'm also a retired local government officer.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Hello. I'm Jo.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10I'm 61 years old and I work part-time as an admin assistant.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Hello. I'm David.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15I'm 67 years old and I'm a retired civil engineer.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Hi. I'm John.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20I'm 59 years old and I'm a part-time English college lecturer.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Welcome to you, Somerset Starlings.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Tell me all about this quizzing against our Daphne there.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30We were trying to remember how long we'd been quizzing against Daphne.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I think, personally, it may have been up to 25 years.
0:01:33 > 0:01:3525? And she's never beaten you once?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37LAUGHTER
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Just a few times.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41When we first went, we were told to look out for this team
0:01:41 > 0:01:45called the Quidnuncs, because they were very difficult to beat,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47and their star performer was Daphne.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- The Quidnuncs?- Yes.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Haven't they thrown you out of the quiz? Doesn't it get boring?
0:01:52 > 0:01:56How do the Quidnuncs do? Are they close to the top most of the time?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Oh, they were winning most of the time.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Daphne was so laid back,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03she would go there and have her knitting at the same time.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- I did.- That's called not taking it seriously.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11What have you got with you today? A bit of crochet or something?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13No, no, I've just got CJ.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18OK, let's see how you do against the Eggheads today.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Every day, there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Somerset Starlings, the Eggheads have won the last three games.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32That means £4,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37And our first battle, first head-to-head, is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Who'd like to play this one?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Geography. It can be any one of you.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43I think we agreed it was Andrew.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- It was me, wasn't it? - It was going to be you.- Yes.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Andrew.- Andrew?- Andrew, we think.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Andrew?- Yup, me against...
0:02:52 > 0:02:55CJ, because his British geography is terrible.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59CJ, apparently.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01You said it, David, not me this time.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03OK, it's going to be Andrew and CJ
0:03:03 > 0:03:05playing Geography in our opening round.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10Could you both please go to the Question Room, as you can't confer with your team-mates in there.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13OK, Andrew, now, Geography, yes.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17You picked CJ there because of his well-known weakness on UK geography,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19but do you know what?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22He's won his last seven outings in this category.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Seven on the trot.- Impressive.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27He has a record of going eight unbeaten, so if he wins this,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- he'll equal that record.- Great!
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Hopefully, I've put the kibosh on it now.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Andrew, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41OK. Good luck, Andrew.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46Los Cristianos and Playa de las Americas are tourist resorts on which island?
0:03:49 > 0:03:50I have close friends
0:03:50 > 0:03:54who have recently been to Playa de las Americas,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57and I believe it's on Tenerife.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Yes, it is, the right answer.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Well done. Good start.
0:04:01 > 0:04:08CJ, in which sea is the island of Gotland found? G-O-T-L-A-N-D.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Er, not sure, but just from the spelling it sounds Norwegian,
0:04:15 > 0:04:17so I'll have to go for the North Sea.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18The North Sea for Gotland?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20It's not, CJ, no,
0:04:20 > 0:04:22it's in the Baltic.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Who owns it?- Sweden.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- It's Swedish. - Just off the Swedish coast.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30OK. Well, that's a great start, Andrew. Your question.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Which country is sandwiched between Guyana and French Guiana?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I believe it was formerly known as Dutch Guiana,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42and I think it's Suriname.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45It is! It's the right answer, well done. Suriname.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Well, you've got a 2-0 lead, and go through if CJ doesn't get this.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52CJ, in which US state is the town of Ticonderoga?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I'm not sure about this one.
0:04:57 > 0:05:03Um...it's one of those that's associated with the Wild West.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07And only one of those states is in the west, so...
0:05:07 > 0:05:11I don't know, but I'll have to go for Nebraska.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Nebraska? The Wild West...
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- of New York state!- Oh, well!
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Ticonderoga is in New York.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23And CJ, that record well and truly smashed to smithereens!
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Thanks for that, Dermot. - Sorry about that, CJ.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Not one right there, from CJ,
0:05:27 > 0:05:31which means you have absolutely breezed into the final round, Andrew.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35You'll be playing for the £4,000. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40A great start by the Starlings,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43knocked an Egghead out at the first time of asking,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46so you're all there, Starlings, and one Egghead has gone.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51Our next head-to-head today is on the subject of Film & Television.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Who'd like to play this one? Film & TV.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- I think that was me, wasn't it? - Think so.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Was that one of mine? - If you're happy with that, Jo.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- You happy, Jo?- I'll give it a go.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Looks like it's me!
0:06:02 > 0:06:06All right, Jo, by default, and which Egghead would you like to play?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Anyone apart from that CJ there.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Is it Chris that doesn't watch TV much?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Or have I got the wrong one? - You could try Chris.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Yeah, Chris.- Shall we try Chris? We'll try Chris.- Try Chris?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- OK.- On the hope he's not been watching much TV lately.- OK, right.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22We'll hope he hasn't been watching much.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Let's have Jo and Chris into the question room, please.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28So, Jo, do you want to go first or second?
0:06:28 > 0:06:32I'll go first and get it over with, thank you.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Best of luck, Jo. Your first question.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41In the Toy Story films, Woody, voiced by Tom Hanks, is what type of doll?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Right, fortunately, I have a grandson
0:06:47 > 0:06:49who absolutely loves Toy Story.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53He does actually prefer Buzz Lightyear,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56who would be the astronaut, but I think Woody is the cowboy.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Yes, he is. Woody the cowboy, yes.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03See, everyone can play along with Eggheads. And Chris, your first question.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07The producer Michael Todd and the construction worker Larry Fortensky
0:07:07 > 0:07:10number amongst the former husbands of which movie star?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16They were both married to Elizabeth Taylor at various times.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Yes, that's correct.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21All square.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Jo, Mark Lester was a star of which 1960s musical film?
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Right, fortunately, recently on our local television,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36they're doing a version of Oliver
0:07:36 > 0:07:38somewhere in Somerset,
0:07:38 > 0:07:42and Mark Lester actually lives there, and he was there to help.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43So I'm going for Oliver.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45The eponymous hero of Oliver,
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- yes, correct.- Well done, Jo.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Chris, Whatever Works,
0:07:51 > 0:07:56starring Larry David, is the 2009 film comedy by which director?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Ah, Larry David.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04He's best known for Curb Your Enthusiasm, isn't he?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08So he's sort of a...bit of a grumpy old man in some ways.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Um...well, the golden rule,
0:08:10 > 0:08:11go for the one you've never heard of.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Rob Reiner.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- Rob Reiner?- Hmm.- You're not liking that, other Eggheads, are you?
0:08:17 > 0:08:18No. It's Woody Allen.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21It's Woody Allen, Chris. Woody Allen, not Rob Reiner.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28And Larry David, Chris mentioned Curb Your Enthusiasm. Seinfeld, as well, wasn't he a producer of that?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30He was a producer, yes.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34OK. Means you win the round, Jo, if you get this.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39Which comedian wrote and starred in the 1990s sitcom Blue Heaven?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Blue Heaven? Hmm, that's not one I've heard of, I'm afraid.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Um...
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Jack Dee did have a bit of a sitcom,
0:08:49 > 0:08:52but I don't know what it was called.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56I think Al Murray is something to do with pub landlord.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Frank Skinner I associate with football,
0:08:59 > 0:09:01so I'll go for Jack Dee.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Jack Dee and Blue Heaven?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06It's not the right answer, no, it is Frank Skinner.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08OK, didn't get that,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11but you still might go through if Chris doesn't get this one.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13In 2010, which young entrepreneur
0:09:13 > 0:09:16became the first winner of Junior Apprentice?
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Hmm. Something I don't watch, since I can't abide Alan Sugar.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Yes, it must have been, it must have been Arjun Rajyagor.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Yes, it's the right answer,
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Arjun Rajyagor,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38winner of Junior Apprentice in 2010.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Well, he's got back into it there.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Jo let him off the hook with that last one, so we go to Sudden Death
0:09:44 > 0:09:46and remove the choices.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47It's a lot harder.
0:09:47 > 0:09:53Which former Eastenders actor did the former Hear'Say singer Kym Marsh marry in 2002?
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Oh, dear.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58I don't watch Eastenders, I'm not a soap fan, I'm sorry to say,
0:09:58 > 0:10:00especially when it comes to this sort of thing.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Um...I can see what he looks like,
0:10:03 > 0:10:07but I'm afraid I can't think of his name.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Sorry, I have to pass on that. - OK, a pass.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Any of the other Eggheads? - Jack Ryder.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Jack Ryder, there, from Daphne.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16OK, Chris, a chance to win it, then.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Which actor took on the role of Arthur Daley's nephew Ray,
0:10:20 > 0:10:24who replaced Dennis Waterman's character Terry McCann, in the TV series Minder?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26That was Gary Webster.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28It was Gary Webster, it's the right answer.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32What a comeback. I thought you were going to get booted out.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Didn't clinch it with that third question, Jo, gave him another chance,
0:10:36 > 0:10:40so he's playing in the final round. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:10:41 > 0:10:47Well, it's all square. Both teams have lost one brain from the final round at this point.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Let's move on to our third head-to-head, Arts & Books.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Who'd like to play this?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Who have we got? We've got Alan, David or John.- That's John!
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- I think I'll be doing that one, Dermot.- All right, John,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01and who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04CJ and Chris have played, so you've got Daphne, Kevin or Judith.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- Judith?- Judith?- Judith, please. - Judith, OK, on Arts & Books.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11John and Judith, into the Question Room, please.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17John, you collect autographs, don't you? You've got thousands of them.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Quite a number, yes, towards 2,000.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Bit sad, really, I suppose, but... - Not at all.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Who have you got? Who sticks out there?
0:11:24 > 0:11:28I suppose it depends on what your interests are.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I suppose the big names would be Frank Sinatra,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I've got a number of prime ministers,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Pope John Paul II,
0:11:37 > 0:11:38the list goes on and on, really.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40And have you got the Eggheads?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- I hope to, by the end of the day. - Absolutely.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- It depends on the end result, what kind of mood they're in. - Yes, probably.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55OK, good luck, John.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00Andy McNab's book Bravo Two Zero tells the story of a patrol from which regiment of the British Army?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I can say with some confidence I've got no idea.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10I'm going to say Special Air Service.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11That's right, yes,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13the SAS, which is why to this day
0:12:13 > 0:12:16we never get to see Andy McNab in anything other than silhouette.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19OK, Judith.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Where is the playwright William Shakespeare buried?
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Erm....
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Why would he be in Portsmouth?
0:12:28 > 0:12:33I think he went back home to Stratford-on-Avon.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I don't really know. Stratford-on-Avon
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- It's the right answer, yes.- He ought to be in St Paul's or something.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43True, true. Buried in Stratford-upon-Avon anyway.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Your question, then, John.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50The memorable phrase, "Try again, fail again, fail better"
0:12:50 > 0:12:53appears in a work by which Irish writer?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Regrettably, it's not that memorable to me.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04I'm going to eliminate Yeats
0:13:04 > 0:13:07and basically toss a coin
0:13:07 > 0:13:09and go for James Joyce.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12James Joyce. "Try again, fail again, fail better."
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- It's incorrect. It's Beckett. - There we go.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Samuel Beckett.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18So, a chance for Judith.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23As well as being a TV presenter, Andrew Graham Dixon became famous as a critic of what?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28He's a fine art critic,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30and his latest book is about Caravaggio.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33It's the right answer, Judith. Yes.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Full answer, there, and correct,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38so it means you've got to get this, John.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Which painter, born in 1885,
0:13:40 > 0:13:45was the central figure of the early 20th-century movement known as Orphism?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Once again, I'm afraid, a total guess.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Robert Delaunay.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58It's the right answer, yes!
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Well done!
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Well done, you got it. But you've got to hope Judith doesn't get this.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Judith, the anti-Catholic Gordon Riots of 1780
0:14:08 > 0:14:11are central to the storyline of which novel by Charles Dickens?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I'm frightfully bad at Dickens,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19because I don't really like reading Dickens very much.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I don't think it's Martin Chuzzlewit.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24The Gordon Riots.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I think it might be Barnaby Rudge.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30It's the correct answer. It is Barnaby Rudge,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32which puts you into that final round.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Bad luck, John, again,
0:14:34 > 0:14:38just nudged out there by the Egghead. Means you won't be playing for the money today.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44The flock of Starlings, beginning to get whittled down.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Two brains gone from the final round, one Egghead gone.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Our last head-to-head comes up right now, before that final round.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53This one's Sport.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Who can play this? David or Alan.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- David, I think.- David.- David.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Yep.- David.- OK, David,
0:14:59 > 0:15:03and who would you like to play from Kevin or Daphne?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Oh, we must play Daphne, mustn't we?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Yes!- Yes, exactly!
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- Let's have David and Daphne into the Question Room, please.- Oh, flip.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Now, David, do you want to go first or second?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Good luck, David.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24What name is given to the compartments
0:15:24 > 0:15:27from which greyhounds are released at the start of a race?
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Well, lures are used, I believe,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33in hare coursing
0:15:33 > 0:15:34or foxhunting these days.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Pits I can't relate to sport at all.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39But I'm pretty certain it's traps.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Traps is right, yes. Pits - motor racing.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Oh, of course.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49That'll help you out. But traps, of course, is the right answer.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Daphne. The Grand National-winning jockey Ruby Walsh was born in which country?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I'm sure he's Irish.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- Republic of Ireland.- Absolutely.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Grand National-winning and many, many other races as well.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04OK, one-all,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07and your second question, David.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11In February 2010 it was announced that the rugby union player Danny Cipriani
0:16:11 > 0:16:14would be leaving Wasps to play for a club based in which country?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Sadly, I don't follow rugby union very closely.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22I'm more a football fan myself.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26I don't think he's going as far away as Australia.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- I'm going to plump for France, but it is a guess.- OK, France,
0:16:30 > 0:16:32a lot of English rugby players playing there,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35and did Danny Cipriani decide to join them?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Well, no, not yet.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Not France.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40It IS Australia.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Australia, yes, going down under.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47It's seen as affecting his chances for future selection for the England team, isn't it?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50As they won't be able to keep a close eye on his performances.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52OK, Daphne.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57Which club has won the top division in Italian football on more occasions than any other?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I've no idea, you know. I hate football.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05What would I go for?
0:17:05 > 0:17:06AC Milan.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- AC Milan won it more times? - I don't know!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12It is Juventus. Juve.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Right, well, it stays all square after that,
0:17:15 > 0:17:19and we go back to you, David, for your third question. In 1968,
0:17:19 > 0:17:23the first year prize money was awarded at the Wimbledon tennis championships,
0:17:23 > 0:17:27what sum was given to Rod Laver, winner of the men's singles competition?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34I know it was fairly modest when professionalism first came in.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39It's not 200.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Um...2,000, 20,000...
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Erm...
0:17:44 > 0:17:47I'll plump for £2,000.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52£2,000 for Rod Laver winning the men's singles, the first year they allowed professionals in.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Isn't that why Rod Laver didn't play in it for a while?- Not for ages.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58It was... What do we think, Eggheads? CJ?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I think I would have gone for 2,000.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01It's certainly not as high as 20.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03It's 2,000, you're right.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- What do they get now?- A million.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- A million quid!- And the women, too.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Both men and women, yes.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12That's rather overadjusted for inflation, I would suspect.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15There we go. £2,000 for Rod Laver.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17So you've got to get this, Daphne.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22In 2003, the South African all-rounder Ryan ten Doeschate
0:18:22 > 0:18:25made his debut for which county cricket team?
0:18:28 > 0:18:32You can see the blank look, can't you?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Um...Essex.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37That's the right answer, Daphne.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39We go to sudden death, then.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Good, I didn't want this round to end. Another question, David.
0:18:43 > 0:18:49Former Olympic athlete Marion Jones signed for the Tulsa Shock in 2010
0:18:49 > 0:18:52in order to play which sport on a professional basis?
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Well, she's obviously built for speed rather than strength.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58She was a sprinter.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Shall I say...
0:18:59 > 0:19:00basketball?
0:19:00 > 0:19:05Yes, you can say that. And I can say that's correct. Well done.
0:19:05 > 0:19:11Yes, Marion Jones switched to basketball in 2010 with Tulsa Shock.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Well, Daphne, you've got to get this.
0:19:13 > 0:19:19Which British Formula One driver was nicknamed Le Papillon, or The Butterfly, by the French
0:19:19 > 0:19:21on account of his habit of wearing a bow tie?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I do not know.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Absolute guess, it'll have to be.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30A bow tie. I don't think Jackie Stewart ever did.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Um...
0:19:32 > 0:19:34James Hunt.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- James Hunt?- I don't know!
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- That would've been a good look. - It's the only one I could... - It's incorrect.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Do you know, other Eggheads?
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- Graham Hill?- No, it's...a previous generation.- Jackie Stewart?
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Mike Hawthorn.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49He used to wear a shirt and tie,
0:19:49 > 0:19:53but the tie flapped into his face at speed. What an elegant chap.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55So he wore a bow tie instead.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Well, David, it's good news and bad news here.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00The good news is, of course, you're through to the final round,
0:20:00 > 0:20:04but heaven help you when you next play Daphne at the social club.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Nothing to do with us.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11This is what we've been playing towards. Time for the final round.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Those who lost your head-to-heads won't be taking part in this round.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20So Joe and John from the Somerset Starlings,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22and CJ and Daphne from the Eggheads,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25would you leave the studio, please?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30So, Alan, Andrew and David, you are playing to win £4,000.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Judith, Kevin and Chris, you're playing for something which money can't buy,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41This time the questions are all general knowledge
0:20:41 > 0:20:43and you are allowed to confer in this round.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44So, Alan, Andrew and David, the question is,
0:20:44 > 0:20:48are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Somerset Starlings, would you like to go first or second?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53I think we'll go first.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Starlings kicking off then and the best of luck to you,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03here's your first question.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07The name of which occupation derives from the Latin for door?
0:21:09 > 0:21:13The name of which occupation derives from the Latin for door?
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Janus means door so I'll go for janitor.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Janitor is the correct answer. Good start.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Eggheads, which verb that means to bend down
0:21:24 > 0:21:29is used to refer to the dive of a raptor such as a peregrine falcon?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Which verb that means to bend down
0:21:34 > 0:21:39is used to refer to the dive of a raptor such as a peregrine falcon?
0:21:39 > 0:21:40That's called a stoop.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Stood is correct, yes, Eggheads.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47OK, Starlings.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Born Boris Winogradsky in Russia in 1909,
0:21:50 > 0:21:56Bernard Delfont made his name as what?
0:21:56 > 0:22:01Born Boris Winogradsky in Russia in 1909,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Bernard Delfont made his name as what?
0:22:03 > 0:22:07We're fairly confident it was theatrical impresario.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12Theatrical impresario is the correct answer, yes, well done.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- Relative uncle?- Michael Grade.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- Brother.- His brother was Lew Grade.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21No, Michael Grade.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27Eggheads, second question - the 1981 UK top 10 single, Endless Love,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30was a duet between Diana Ross and which male singer?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36The 1981 UK top ten single, Endless Love,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39was a duet between Diana Ross and which male singer?
0:22:39 > 0:22:44I think it was Lionel Richie. Yes, it is Lionel Richie.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46I think that's Lionel Richie.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50It's the right answer, Eggheads, yes, Lionel Richie.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Two all, third question.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57Somerset Starlings, the huge hexagonal pillars in Fingal's Cave on the Isle of Staffa
0:22:57 > 0:22:59are composed of which rock?
0:23:02 > 0:23:06The huge hexagonal pillars in Fingal's Cave on the Isle of Staffa
0:23:06 > 0:23:08are composed of which rock?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11They are composed of basalt.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Basalt is correct, it's the right answer.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Doesn't it go all the way under the Irish Sea
0:23:16 > 0:23:18and comes back up at the Giant's Causeway?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21OK, Eggheads, got to get this.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Amongst the various combinations of letters
0:23:23 > 0:23:28that can be seen written on and around the Plimsoll line on the side of a ship,
0:23:28 > 0:23:29LR stands for what?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Amongst the various combinations of letters
0:23:36 > 0:23:38that can be seen written on and around the Plimsoll line
0:23:38 > 0:23:39on the side of ship,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42LR stands for what?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Ships have to be registered with Lloyd's Register.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53Lloyd's Register is the correct answer, Eggheads, well done.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56The Plimsoll line, simple but revolutionary.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Before that, ships would sink because they were overloaded.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Unscrupulous owners. Coffin ships, they called them.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Lloyd's Register, let's confirm that. All square, we go to sudden death.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Somerset Starlings, you just breezed through those three out of three.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11One question could decide it now.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Which former Labour Party leader was created the Baron of Bedwellty
0:24:15 > 0:24:18in the county of Gwent in 2005?
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Which former Labour Party leader was created the Baron of Bedwellty
0:24:22 > 0:24:24in the county in Gwent in 2005?
0:24:26 > 0:24:32- Baronet?- I think so. I can't think of anybody else with Welsh connections.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37Are you happy to go for Neil Kinnock?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40OK? We think we'll go for Neil Kinnock.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Neil Kinnock?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44It's the right answer, yes, well done.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48So, Eggheads, must get this.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51By what alternate name was Gareth Jones,
0:24:51 > 0:24:55presenter of the 1980s children's show, Get Fresh, better known?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58By what alternate name was Gareth Jones,
0:24:58 > 0:25:02presenter of the 1980s children's show, Get Fresh, better known?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06He was known as Gaz Top.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Gaz Top is correct, Eggheads.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Again, it's Chris, he knows everything about the Plimsoll line
0:25:13 > 0:25:15then knows about Gaz Top.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16I thought you had a chance there
0:25:16 > 0:25:19when I looked at that one but the Eggheads still going strongly
0:25:19 > 0:25:21as are you, the Somerset starlings.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Which comedian known for his subversive humour
0:25:24 > 0:25:27was born as Arthur Hughes in Lancashire in 1901
0:25:27 > 0:25:30and had the catchphrases, "Get off me foot"
0:25:30 > 0:25:32and "I've supped some ale tonight"?
0:25:35 > 0:25:40I' trying to think, he would be 100 years old, 110? A long time back.
0:25:42 > 0:25:50Oh... I don't recognise either of the catchphrases.
0:25:50 > 0:25:55Think of a flat cap, he must have a flat pack with a joke like that.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Al Read? Not old enough. Al Read?
0:26:02 > 0:26:06I wouldn't have picked him.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- I'm scraping the barrel, here. - Might as well.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16As you can tell, Dermott, we're in dire straits.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21We have plumped for, very unconvincingly, Al Read.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26Al Read, born Arthur Hughes in 1901.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27It's incorrect.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30It's not the right answer. Eggheads, do you know?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- IN NORTHERN ACCENT: - It's Frank Randle, lad.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36It is Frank Randle, ever heard of him?
0:26:37 > 0:26:41He had a big battle with the Blackpool police chief.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45They kept banning him for obscenities.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Frank Randle there, identified by Chris, but you're still in it.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51The Eggheads need to get this if they're going to win.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Eggheads, which General commanded the victorious British forces
0:26:54 > 0:26:57at the Battle of Alexandria in 1801
0:26:57 > 0:27:00but died from wounds sustained in the fighting?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06I know his surname! It's Abercromby.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08He's General Abercromby.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Do you need a first name?
0:27:11 > 0:27:13We need a first name and surname.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15That's fair enough.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19The first name that popped into my head was David
0:27:19 > 0:27:20but I don't think that's right.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23It's not very Scottish.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24Do give me a second here.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32I've come up with another one, I hope it's right. Ralph.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Ralph? That's not very Scottish either.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40We'll go with it.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Not sure about the first name but we'll try Ralph Abercromby.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Ralph Abercromby?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49It is Abercromby and his first name is Ralph,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52it's the right answer, Eggheads, you've won!
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Well, I think you've had a masterclass in quizzing there?
0:28:02 > 0:28:07You know how well Daphne does day-in, day-out at the quizzes at the social club
0:28:07 > 0:28:10but extraordinary performance there from the Eggheads.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14It took something extraordinary to beat you here today.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16It's been neck and neck throughout the game.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18The Eggheads have just edged it.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20So, congratulations Somerset Starlings,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22thank you very much indeed for playing the Eggheads today.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27You can take it out on Daphne at the social club.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31They still reign supreme over quizland.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £4,000
0:28:33 > 0:28:36and that means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:41 > 0:28:43have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44£5,000 says they don't.
