0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12They make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Taking on our awesome champions are the Sand Dancers from South Shields.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44This team got to know one another through attending various quizzes.
0:00:44 > 0:00:49Despite competing on opposing teams, they've now joined forces.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Hi, my name's Steve, I'm 51 and I'm an operations manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm David, I'm 57,
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I'm a quality assurance administrator.
0:01:00 > 0:01:06Hi, my name's John, I'm 65 and I'm a retired fire-fighter.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11Hello, I'm Fred, I'm 66 and I'm a retired school teacher.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16Hello, I'm Dave, I'm 63 and I'm also a retired school teacher.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Welcome, Sand Dancers. Explain the name.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22This is a term used for people from South Shields.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25That's right. There's various theories, but the main one -
0:01:25 > 0:01:30you've got Geordies from Newcastle, the Mackems from Sunderland
0:01:30 > 0:01:34and sandwiched in between those two cities is South Shields,
0:01:34 > 0:01:38and the colloquial name for someone from South Shields is a sand dancer.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Yes, but are the beaches sandy? - Absolutely.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Very sandy.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48My father-in-law told me a story. After the Second World War,
0:01:48 > 0:01:52people in South Shields took various staging onto the beach,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54lots of parties and dancing,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- and that's another reason why the name may've stuck.- Could be.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Interesting stuff! And it's The Beacon pub you quiz in?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- That's right.- You're quiz master? - I'm the quiz master
0:02:04 > 0:02:07and I started 25 years ago,
0:02:07 > 0:02:11and we just celebrated 25 years of quizzes.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13One of the reasons we got together is to do this.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- And celebrate by beating the Eggheads.- Let's hope so!
0:02:17 > 0:02:18OK, good luck, Sand Dancers.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29The Eggheads have won the last four games.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33That means £5,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37The quiz starts with our opening round - Film & Television.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Choose a player to take this one on, please.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Film & Television.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- Film & Television? - What do you reckon?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- I think that's me, isn't it? - I think that's you.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53- Yes.- Well, we're all agreed, that's me.- OK.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- Choose an Egghead.- Chris.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- Shall we go for Chris?- Try him.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- Your trainspotting colleague! - We'll go for Chris.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03We'll go with Chris, please.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Chris on Film & TV. How are you feeling about this one, Chris?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09A sudden sense of deja vu!
0:03:09 > 0:03:12It's going to be Steve and Chris playing Film & TV.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Could I ask you both please to go to the Question Room?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20All right, Steve, do you want to go first or second?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I'll go second, please.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Chris first. Here's your question. On which children's TV programme
0:03:28 > 0:03:33was Valerie Singleton a regular presenter between 1962 and 1972?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I won't do the John Noakes voice, but it was Blue Peter.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Yes, Blue Peter is correct. Certainly not Magpie.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45One to you.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48And, Steve, your first question. Which TV presenter
0:03:48 > 0:03:51hosted her own short-lived talk show in 2006,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54which was cancelled due to low ratings?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I haven't seen this one, actually.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I don't think it's Tess Daly.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06I can't remember Tess being in any kind of TV programme,
0:04:06 > 0:04:09though, she might've been.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Davina McCall or Amanda Holden?
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Davina's been in a lot and I remember, vaguely,
0:04:16 > 0:04:21she was doing some kind of chat show and I think it got shelved.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Not at all sure, but I'll go for Davina McCall.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Little tentative there. You've got the right answer, though.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- JOHN: Good lad, Steve.- Well done.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Get you off to a good start.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Chris, "Jen", played by Katherine Parkinson
0:04:34 > 0:04:36is a character in which TV sitcom?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43It's not The Royle Family.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46And The Inbetweeners is a bunch of spotty teens.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I don't think that's it.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I think it's The IT Crowd.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53It is, yes.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Accurate representation, isn't it, Barry, of life in IT departments?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Oh, totally!
0:04:59 > 0:05:02It's the right answer. Jen, played Katherine Parkinson.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Your second question, Steve.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09Who won an Oscar for directing the 1994 film Forrest Gump?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I don't think it's Tim Robbins.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19I've never heard of Mike Figgis before.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22I've heard of Robert Zemeckis. Forrest Gump...
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Tom Hanks...
0:05:24 > 0:05:29I think I probably would've heard if it had been Robert Zemeckis. I think.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Given all of that, I'll have a stab at Mike Figgis.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Mike Figgis, because you haven't heard of him,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38the director of Forrest Gump?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40It's Robert Zemeckis.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Oh, dear! - It's the one you were thinking of.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46You were conjuring around with that, but didn't select it.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49A chance for Chris to win the round.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52For what did the "D" stand in the initials
0:05:52 > 0:05:56of the silent film director known as DW Griffiths?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01You don't need the "W", as well, do you? But it's "D" for David.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05No, don't need the W, we just need the D.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07And it is...
0:06:07 > 0:06:10..David. It is correct.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Anyone know what the "W" is?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Wark.- Wark.- As in Kirsty.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17David Llewelyn Wark was the full name.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21DW Griffith. "David" is what we wanted and you supplied it,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23so you're through to the Final Round.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Bad luck, Steve.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Eggheads triumphing first in those head-to-heads.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Knocked a Sand Dancer out. All the Eggheads are still there.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Let's play our second head-to-head. This one is Science.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Who'd like to play this? Steve, any of your four teammates.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46I think it should be you or Dave.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I thought you were going to leave Dave till the end.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Do you want to have a go? - I'll have a try.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- I'll have a try.- OK. Good lad.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- We're going down in order! - David, please.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00OK. You kicked off and now David.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Who would you like to take from the Eggheads? Anyone, apart from Chris.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Barry or CJ.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08We'll take Barry.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Let's have you both into the Question Room, David and Barry.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16OK, David, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18First, please.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Good luck, David.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24What term is used to refer to the partly digested food
0:07:24 > 0:07:27that's returned from the first stomach of a cow
0:07:27 > 0:07:30to its mouth for further chewing?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Well, I take it as "chewing the cud",
0:07:35 > 0:07:37so I'll stick with cud, please.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Indeed. Chewing it over. Cud is the right answer.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44In chemistry, what term is used to describe the stage
0:07:44 > 0:07:48at which no more solute can be dissolved in a solution?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55That is normally the saturation point,
0:07:55 > 0:08:00but under certain conditions, you can dissolve more solid in a solution,
0:08:00 > 0:08:01and that is supersaturation.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- But the answer here is saturation. - Yes, OK. Got it.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Thank you, Barry. - CHUCKLING
0:08:08 > 0:08:11There you are. Saturation point.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13David, in geological time,
0:08:13 > 0:08:17which period comes immediately before the Triassic period?
0:08:21 > 0:08:26Erm, I'm not 100 percent sure. I like my dinosaur films,
0:08:26 > 0:08:30but I'll have to have a guess. I would say the Cretaceous.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Cretaceous, immediately before the Triassic.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36It's not. David, that's incorrect.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Barry, do you know? - It's the Permian.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42There's a wonderful way to remember the order of geologic ages.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46There's a mnemonic that goes "Camels Often Sit Down Carefully
0:08:46 > 0:08:47"Perhaps Their Joints Creak
0:08:47 > 0:08:50"Early Oiling Might Prevent Permanent Rheumatism".
0:08:50 > 0:08:54That's the first letter of every geologic age in order.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Say them.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Triassic, Jurassic and so on!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Right! Very good! That's impressive, Barry.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- "Camels..." Whatever. - DERMOT LAUGHS
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Permian is the answer we were looking for,
0:09:11 > 0:09:13as you heard from Barry's list.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Permian, not Cretaceous. A chance for the lead, Barry.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20In 1958, the world's first fully implantable pacemaker
0:09:20 > 0:09:24was given to a patient in which country?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Gosh! I've never come across this before!
0:09:28 > 0:09:31What a good question.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34I think I'll go for Sweden, but I'm not sure at all.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Sweden?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38It's the right answer, yes.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41In 1958. It means you've got to get this, David.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44In relation to television and computer screen technology,
0:09:44 > 0:09:49for what does the letter "F" stand in the abbreviation TFT?
0:09:51 > 0:09:56Now, if this was Dave's question, he would have no problem,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59being a camera geek.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03But me, I'll have to have a pure guess,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06and I will say function.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08OK, function.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- Is it function, Barry?- No.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I think it stands for Thin-Film Transistor, so film.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16It does stand for Thin-Film Transistor.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19It is film. That means bad luck to you, David.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21You won't be in the Final Round.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Two members of the Sand Dancers have now been ejected.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30All the Eggheads are still there.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Our next subject today is Arts & Books.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Who'd like to play this one?
0:10:35 > 0:10:36John, Fred or Dave?
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- John.- Lamb to the slaughter! - Lamb to the slaughter!
0:10:40 > 0:10:42You're working up from this end in sequence.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46You've got to end up in the middle with Daphne,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48because you've played Barry and Chris.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51You don't have to. You can choose Daphne, CJ or Kevin.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I'll take CJ, I think.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- ALL: OK.- CJ. - CJ?- Yes.- That's an invitation.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01John and CJ, into the Question Room, please.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05OK, then, John, let's hope you're not a lamb to the slaughter.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08I'm sure we can give CJ a run for the money.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Best of luck. Here's your first question.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Which writer coined the word "runcible" in his works?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I don't really know.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28It sounds a bit like an Edward Lear word,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31so I'll go for Edward Lear.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33It is an Edward Lear word, yes.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38A "runcible spoon". What is that? The Owl and the Pussycat, isn't it?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- A pickle spoon, isn't it?- What?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- One with two sharp prongs on. - Ahh, I see.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47So it's a spoon with those... So you can get the pickled onion.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Right, CJ.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Penelope Lively won the Carnegie Medal in 1973
0:11:53 > 0:11:57for her children's novel "The Ghost of..." who?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Absolutely no idea. Never heard of it!
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Well, simply on scansion, I don't like Bobby Brewster.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13No. I prefer two syllables in the first name and one in the surname.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16So Thomas Kempe... The Ghost of Thomas Kempe.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19The Ghost of Samson Young.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- I don't like Thomas Kempe. I'll try Samson Young.- OK.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Good technique. Nearly got it, but you didn't. Thomas Kempe.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Certainly not Bobby Brewster. Bad luck, CJ.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Great news for John.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Concentrate on this one, John.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Scott Turow, author of many books, including Presumed Innocent,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41has held which other job throughout his writing career?
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Erm, I don't think it's lawyer.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Erm...
0:12:49 > 0:12:53I think it could be dentist.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- I'll go for dentist. - Dentist. Scott Turow.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- No, it's not.- Blimey. - Quite interesting if he had been.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- Do you know, Eggheads?- ALL: Lawyer.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Yes, a lawyer.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07OK, well, nothing there,
0:13:07 > 0:13:11but CJ still needs to get this to catch up.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13In Thomas Gainsborough's painting The Blue Boy,
0:13:13 > 0:13:16what does the boy hold in his right hand?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I don't think it's a telescope. Erm...
0:13:22 > 0:13:27He's sort of standing more at an angle, isn't he?
0:13:27 > 0:13:32There's a hat in the picture. Is it on his head or in his hand?
0:13:32 > 0:13:36I don't think it's on his head, but I may be misplacing the picture.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37I'll go for hat.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Hat's correct. Well done, CJ.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Right back in the game. It's all square.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48John, how did Marcel Duchamp sign the urinal he exhibited in 1917?
0:13:53 > 0:13:58How did Marcel Duchamp sign the urinal he exhibited in 1917?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I really don't know.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Er, I'll go for J.Nutt.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- J.Nutt?- Yes.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Signing the urinal he exhibited in 1917.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13It's... R.Mutt.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15R.Mutt.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Anyone tell us more about it? CJ?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20I don't know why.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25It was voted the most important piece of art in the entire 20th century.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Was it?- Exhibiting a urinal as a piece of art,
0:14:28 > 0:14:31changed people's perceptions of how to view objects.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36OK, right. Nothing there. A chance for CJ to win this round.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40CJ, in 1870, Claude Monet temporarily moved to which city
0:14:40 > 0:14:43to escape the Franco-Prussian War?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- Sorry, 1870?- Yes.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53He would've been quite young, wouldn't he? He didn't die till '26.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Offhand, I can't remember what year he was born in.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01I think it's Monet who's 1926.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Erm, I've got some niggling recollection
0:15:05 > 0:15:09that he spent time in London, it may've been later, but I'll try it.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12London. Claude Monet.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Fleeing France and ending up in London.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18It's the right answer. Well done.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Worked that one out. It means another Sand Dancer bites the dust.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Bad luck, John. Good start. Seemed to be going well.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27CJ fought back, though.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Please come back and join your teams.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34As it stands now, three Sand Dancers have gone from the Final Round.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36All the Eggheads are still there.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41Final chance to knock one out here. This subject is History.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Who'd like to play this? History - Fred or Dave?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- First bit of good luck.- Yes.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- Who against?- You can do it, Fred.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Daphne or Kevin.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Daphne's smiling at me. I'll go for Daphne!
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Almost winking!
0:15:57 > 0:16:02OK, it's going to be Fred and Daphne playing this one.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06It's History. Could I ask you both to go to the Question Room?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Fred, this round always had your name on it,
0:16:08 > 0:16:10being a retired history teacher.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I suppose this is the one I was dreading, Dermot.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I can just imagine all my ex-pupils walking in
0:16:16 > 0:16:19and me making a fool of myself and getting them wrong!
0:16:19 > 0:16:22I suppose some of them, very grown men and women by now.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Very much so.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- Fred, do you want to go first or second?- I'll go first, Dermot.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Good luck, Fred. Here's your question.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35The part of the Roman Empire
0:16:35 > 0:16:38called Mare Nostrum is known today by what name?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44The part of the Roman Empire called Mare Nostrum
0:16:44 > 0:16:47is known today by what name?
0:16:47 > 0:16:52Well, "Mare" is sea. I think it refers to "our sea".
0:16:52 > 0:16:55So it should be Mediterranean Sea.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58It should be, yes! "Our sea" - the Med.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- And, Daphne... - SAND DANCERS: Well done, Fred.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04As a result of the Suez Crisis, rationing of which item
0:17:04 > 0:17:08was introduced in the UK in December 1956?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13I know we didn't have a car at the time,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16but I would assume it was petrol.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Petrol is correct. Well identified.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21OK, Fred, second question.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Robert Banks Jenkinson,
0:17:24 > 0:17:28who was the British prime minister between 1812 and 1827,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30is better known by which title?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37He took over from Spencer Percival,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39who was shot and killed, assassinated.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44I thought it was Lord Liverpool, but Earl of Liverpool will do.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Earl of Liverpool will do, yes! Or Lord Liverpool.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Correct answer. Well done.
0:17:50 > 0:17:56Daphne, the elite soldiers known as the Varangian Guards
0:17:56 > 0:17:58served the ruler of which empire?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06I think that was the Byzantine Empire.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Kind of like a Praetorian Guard.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I suppose so. I don't know.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- I see! You just know that. - I just knew it was Byzantine.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18That's the correct answer, yes. Any more from the other Eggheads?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21They were of Viking descent.
0:18:21 > 0:18:28They came to Byzantine by a most circuitous route through Russia.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Right. Thank you, Barry!
0:18:30 > 0:18:34OK, all square. Good quizzing. Two all. Fred, third question.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37The Battle of Kadesh was a significant moment
0:18:37 > 0:18:40in the reign of which Ancient Egyptian ruler?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49I haven't got a clue, Dermot.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51I'll go for Ramses.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55If in doubt, go for Ramses. It's the right answer!
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Ramses II. The Battle of Kadesh.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01This is a real battle over History.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Daphne, John Hampden came to prominence
0:19:04 > 0:19:07when he refused to pay which financial measure
0:19:07 > 0:19:08imposed by Charles I?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15That was ship money. I think he was annoyed
0:19:15 > 0:19:20because he represented a place that wasn't on the coast.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25Ship money is correct, yes. Forms of taxation. Ship money.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Unblemished record for both players in this round.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34We ratchet it up a bit, Fred, and turn it into Sudden Death.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36So here's your question.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Martin Luther, the German priest who sparked the Reformation,
0:19:40 > 0:19:43was born in which century?
0:19:43 > 0:19:48Well, I think he pinned the notices in 1521,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50and he must've been getting on a bit then,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53so it must be the 15th century.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- 15th century?- Yes.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59It's the right answer. Date, to be precise, Eggheads?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- 1483.- 1483.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Fred was incorrect when he said 1521 for the nailing of the Theses.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08The Diet of Worms was 1521.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- He nailed the Theses four years earlier.- OK.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Thank you, Eggheads. Like to be clear about those things!
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Your question, then, Daphne.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Which Canadian city was founded by Samuel de Champlain?
0:20:21 > 0:20:25C-H-A-M-P-L-A-I-N.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28"Champ-lane", to Anglicise it.
0:20:28 > 0:20:34Which Canadian city was founded by Samuel de Champlain in 1608?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Oh, dear. It's either...
0:20:37 > 0:20:42Either Montreal or Quebec. Erm...
0:20:44 > 0:20:48If it's 50/50, I always get it wrong.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I can't...
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I'll go for Quebec.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Going for the French cities there. You got the right one. Quebec.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Founded by Samuel de Champlain in 1608.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01OK, Fred.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05After being elected president in 1924,
0:21:05 > 0:21:10Gerardo Machado became dictator of which Caribbean island country?
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Gerardo, G-E-R-A-R-D-O is his first name.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Machado, M-A-C-H-A-D-O.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24You can spell it as much as you like, Dermot, I have no idea!
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Gerardo Machado... - Caribbean country?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29..became dictator of which Caribbean island country
0:21:29 > 0:21:33after being elected president in 1924?
0:21:34 > 0:21:40- Barbados. - Barbados for Gerardo Machado.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42It's not.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45I think, with that name, looking for the Spanish influence.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- Do you know, Daphne?- No.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51I'd have gone for something like the Dominican Republic.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55No. Closer. Other Eggheads?
0:21:55 > 0:21:56- ALL: Cuba.- Cuba.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Cuba?- It's Cuba.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Cuba there, Fred, not Barbados.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04First opportunity to win the round goes to Daphne.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Ordinances, an attempt to control royal finance and appointments,
0:22:09 > 0:22:11were issued by the nobles during the reign
0:22:11 > 0:22:13of which 14th century English king?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Edward II.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20The answer is Edward II. It is correct, Daphne,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22which I'm sure Fred knew, as well,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25but it fell to Daphne in a very hard-fought round.
0:22:25 > 0:22:31Some quality quizzing there, but Fred ending up the victim.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Would you please come back and join your teams?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37This is what we've been playing towards, the Final Round,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44Those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't take part.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Steve, David, John and Fred from the Sand Dancers,
0:22:47 > 0:22:51would you leave the studio, please?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Dave, you're playing to win the Sand Dancers £5,000.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Kevin, CJ, Daphne, Chris and Barry,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59you're playing for something money can't buy,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02that is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06I'll ask each team three questions and they're all general knowledge.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08You are allowed to confer.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Dave, the question is, is your brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:23:12 > 0:23:16- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Let's get on with it, then.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23The first question in the Final Round going to you, Dave.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26In the common abbreviation for a term of affection,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29for what does the "T" stand in the phrase TLC?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35In the common abbreviation for a term of affection,
0:23:35 > 0:23:39for what does the "T" stand in the phrase TLC?
0:23:39 > 0:23:43That's something I'm going to need a lot of after this. It's "tender".
0:23:43 > 0:23:47- Tender Loving Care. - Right answer, yes. "T" for Tender.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Eggheads, in the Christian calendar,
0:23:49 > 0:23:53the period of Advent begins on which day of the week?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58In the Christian calendar, The period of Advent
0:23:58 > 0:24:00begins on which day of the week?
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- I think it's Sunday. - It should be Sunday, shouldn't it?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Let's just double check. - The first Sunday.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09It should be a Sunday.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13You've got Advent Sunday, so... It should be Sunday.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Sunday?- Mm. - It's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Having a moment there,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20the five Eggheads assembled against Dave.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Matched on those first questions. Second question, Dave.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Which singing star played a character called Bert Rudge,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30who takes on the stage name Bongo Herbert
0:24:30 > 0:24:35in the 1959 film musical Expresso Bongo?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Which singing star played a character called Bert Rudge,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43who takes on the stage name Bongo Herbert
0:24:43 > 0:24:47in the 1959 film musical Expresso Bongo?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49That would be Cliff Richard.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52It would! It's Cliff Richard. Back in 1959,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55playing Bongo Herbert.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58He should've stuck with that name. He would've gone far.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- He should've stuck with Harry Webb! - "Sir Bongo", we'd be calling him!
0:25:02 > 0:25:05It trips off the tongue.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Second question, Eggheads. Which utensil is referred to in French
0:25:09 > 0:25:11as a tire-bouchon?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Which utensil is referred to in French
0:25:16 > 0:25:19as a tire-bouchon?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- ALL: Corkscrew.- It pulls corks.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Yes, it's literally a corkscrew.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Corkscrew?- Yes.- Right answer. As Chris was saying,
0:25:29 > 0:25:33The translation is pull - tire, and bouchon - the cork.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Two all.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Dave, this might win the money for you.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42Which British motorcyclist won seven consecutive individual trials titles
0:25:42 > 0:25:48at the Outdoor World Championships between 1997 and 2003?
0:25:52 > 0:25:58Which British motorcyclist won seven consecutive individual trials titles
0:25:58 > 0:26:04at the Outdoor World Championships between 1997 and 2003?
0:26:04 > 0:26:08I'd have preferred football to motorcycling.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- I'll go for Steve Webster. - Steve Webster.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Seven consecutive individual trials titles
0:26:17 > 0:26:20between 1997 and 2003...
0:26:20 > 0:26:22It's incorrect. It's not Steve Webster.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27- Do you know, Eggheads? - Dougie Lampkin.- Dougie Lampkin.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31So a chance here for the Eggheads.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33The French fleur-de-lis symbol
0:26:33 > 0:26:37hasn't been a feature of the British royal coat of arms since which year?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44The French fleur-de-lis symbol
0:26:44 > 0:26:49hasn't been a feature of the British royal coat of arms since which year?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52All significant years, but...
0:26:52 > 0:26:55When did we give up our final claim on France?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58That was 1558, wasn't it? With Calais.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00But having said that,
0:27:00 > 0:27:04even George III claimed that he was King of France,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07didn't he?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Sorry?- George III claimed it.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14- It could be as late as 1801. - George III was king in 1801.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Yes. I don't really know.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20But 1801 was my inclination.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25- CJ SIGHS - I've got nothing.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- I've got nothing.- I'll go for 1801.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Just for George III?- Yes.- OK.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33We don't know.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37They're all significant dates, in terms of constitutional history,
0:27:37 > 0:27:42but we think that George III, who came to the throne in 1760,
0:27:42 > 0:27:45still was making an official claim,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48so on that basis, we'll go for 1801.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51You're going for 1801. It's the right answer.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Bad luck, Dave. I think one of the guys knew that.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03It's always so difficult on your own.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06The tale of this game was all about those head-to-heads.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10Some very good quizzers, but not to be on this day.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Good luck in The Beacon.- Thank you.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Thank you very much for the explanation of sand dancing.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Those Eggheads still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23You won't be going home with the £5,000.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25The money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:28 > 0:28:32Join us to see if a new team of challengers can defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36£6,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
