0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are among the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably, the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40They are the Eggheads. Challenging our champions today are...
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Aside from Donald, Scott's dad,
0:00:44 > 0:00:50this team met at Stirling University and quiz together at the Admiral pub in Glasgow. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hello. I'm Alexander. I'm 24 and I'm an economics student.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi. I'm Kirsty. I'm 24 and I'm an optical assistant.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02Hello. I'm Helen. I'm 24 and I'm a modern languages teacher.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi. I'm Scott. I'm 24 and I'm a retail assistant.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10Hello. I'm Donald. I'm 52 and I'm a psychiatrist.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Welcome, Quiz Me Hardy. You quiz at the Admiral.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- With the team name, is that Admiral Nelson?- Yes.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21Play on the... Did he actually say it, by the way, "Kiss me, Hardy"?
0:01:21 > 0:01:27- There are theories that he said something else. - He might have said kismet, "fate".
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- He might have said "Quiz me".- He might have wanted to be on Eggheads.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Tell me, Quiz Me Hardy, how does the quizzing go at the Admiral?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Yeah. It's quite good.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40We came second last week.
0:01:40 > 0:01:46- Won 12 or 13 times this year, so far.- Crikey! That's a pretty good strike rate!
0:01:46 > 0:01:52Let's see if you can go one better than last week. Second isn't good enough to win the money.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00If they fail to defeat the Eggheads the money rolls over.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02The Eggheads have won just the last game,
0:02:02 > 0:02:07which means £2,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Let's select our first head-to-head. The subject is Science.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Who'd like to play this?
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Are you in, doctor? - Is that me, or...?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20In case Sport comes up, anyone want to do Science?
0:02:20 > 0:02:24No. I do not want to do Science! I'll do Science.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- We'll risk it.- Hopefully, Sport won't come up.- In you go, Donald.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Which Egghead would you like to take into the Question Room?
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Pat, perhaps? Well, we don't know anything about Pat and Barry.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38That's OUR problem.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Not their problem! - I'll take Pat, then.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47You think he's an unknown quantity on Science. You'll soon find out.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50In the Question Room, Pat and Donald.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53So, Donald, how did you come to be on the team?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Forgive me for saying, you're not in the same age range.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02- Your university years were a bit earlier!- Slightly earlier, yes.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07When there was heavy snow in Glasgow, I couldn't get home so I wandered into the pub.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11There they all were, so I joined in and we seem to do well as a team.
0:03:11 > 0:03:17- Act of nature brought you together. Do you want to go first or second? - First please, Dermot.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Best of luck, Donald.
0:03:21 > 0:03:27Which word follows "bank", "field" and "water" in the common names of three creatures found in Britain?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Well, it's not likely to be weasel.
0:03:33 > 0:03:40Cos I don't think weasel is associated with banks or water.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43So that leaves toad and vole.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48I've heard of a water vole. I'm not sure I've heard of a water toad.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53I think... I'll go for vole, Dermot.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Field vole, water vole, bank vole. It is vole, yes.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59That's the right answer.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02First question for you, then, Pat.
0:04:02 > 0:04:09Found in the Pacific, the blue-ringed variety of which mollusc is roughly six inches in size,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12but possesses venom that can be fatal to humans?
0:04:13 > 0:04:17I think it's one of the hundreds of deadly creatures
0:04:17 > 0:04:20that pick off Australians now and again.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22The blue-ringed octopus.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25It's the right answer.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29The medical technique known as EEG
0:04:29 > 0:04:33monitors and investigates the activity of which part of the body?
0:04:35 > 0:04:40I'd have to hand back my psychiatry exam results if I got this wrong.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45EEG stands for electroencephalogram and it's to measure brain activity.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49It's the right answer, of course it is. Well done, Donald.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Hanging on to your qualification!
0:04:52 > 0:05:01Pat, WPA and WEP are protocols in which aspect of a home computer system?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I think they're two of the popular protocols
0:05:09 > 0:05:13for encrypting your wireless network transmissions.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15It's wireless security.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Wireless security is correct, Pat.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Donald, third question.
0:05:19 > 0:05:26Which unit of measurement was named after a scientist born in Salford in 1818?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Um... I have absolutely no idea.
0:05:33 > 0:05:39Joule and Ohm don't sound as if they'd have been born in Salford.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Henry does, and maybe that's a bit too obvious.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I'm going to guess and say it was Joule.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53It's the right answer. Well done. Well picked out, Donald.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- BARRY:- There's a lovely story about James Joule.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59On his honeymoon, he went up into the mountains
0:05:59 > 0:06:05and spent nearly all the time trying to work out the thermal energy of a waterfall.
0:06:05 > 0:06:12- I don't think his wife was very impressed.- Presumably he brought some instruments with him.- Probably.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Joule, born in Salford in 1818. Means you need to get this, Pat.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21Which Egyptian based 11th-century scientist, a pioneer of optics,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24feigned madness to escape execution
0:06:24 > 0:06:28when he could not control the flooding of the Nile?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35I haven't heard about this chap.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I've heard of Avicenna,
0:06:37 > 0:06:43but not in any Egyptian or Nile related context.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48Alhazen and Alkindus both sound eminently Egyptian names.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I'll go for Alhazen.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54It's the right answer, Pat.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Logic and a bit of guesswork got the right answer.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Taking us, first round, first Sudden Death.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Means, Donald, we remove the choices you've seen.
0:07:03 > 0:07:09It's a lot harder. If you need to guess, have to make up your own options.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14Which metal makes up around 90% of the alloy Nordic gold,
0:07:14 > 0:07:19which is used in the production of the ten, 20 and 50 cent euro coins?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Wild guess and say...nickel.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Nickel, 90% of Nordic gold.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29- It's the other one you were thinking of. It's copper.- Ah!
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Pat can win the round if he gets this.
0:07:31 > 0:07:39Kalium is the Latin name for which element, found in the alkali metal group of the periodic table?
0:07:39 > 0:07:44I think the clue was in the symbol for the element K from kalium.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I think it's potassium.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50It's the right answer. They know their periodic tables, these Eggheads.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Which means Donald,
0:07:53 > 0:08:00a big loss to Quiz Me Hardy, you won't be playing in the final round. Will you both join your teams?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05That's Donald out for Quiz Me Hardy. All the Eggheads are still there.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Three more players to be ejected before we reach the final round.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Let's see who's going out on this Sport category.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Who wants to play it? Sport?
0:08:15 > 0:08:19I do NOT want to do Sport. You're quite good at Sport.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21No, I'm not.
0:08:21 > 0:08:27- So I do Sport, then?- Do you want to? Well, no-one wants to, obviously.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31HELEN: Why don't we settle this with rock, paper, scissors?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Rock, paper, scissors sounds like a fair way of resolving this.- OK.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37One, two, three.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Ah, fine. It's me, then.
0:08:40 > 0:08:46- I've never seen that before. Choose an opponent.- Who do we think?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- I don't know.- Judith?- OK.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53How are you at rock, paper, scissors, Judith?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Well, shall we try?
0:08:55 > 0:09:00Let's have, then, Alexander and Judith into the Question Room.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Alexander, do you want the first or the second set?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Donald took the first set, so I'll take the second set.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12That means Judith is going first.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14This is your question, Judith.
0:09:14 > 0:09:20Discounting the allowance to fillies, at which weight is the Epsom Derby run?
0:09:22 > 0:09:28I have absolutely no idea. I didn't...know it mattered.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33Nine stone is incredibly light.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37The saddle, presumably, counts in the weight.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43But a jockey would have to get...
0:09:43 > 0:09:47I just can't believe it could be nine stone. Nine stone is SO light.
0:09:47 > 0:09:53- So I'll say 12 stone.- You'll have to ask your trainer.- I will. Yes.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Forgot to. Should have!
0:09:55 > 0:10:00- Is it wrong?- It's not the right answer. It's nine stone.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05Those little jockeys get down to some very low weights.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08It includes saddle, crop, everything they wear.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Everything the horse wears.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14That means the jockey must weigh about eight and a half.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- Probably less. Yeah. - Gosh! I'm amazed.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Well, nothing there. That's maybe a good selection, Alexander.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Caught Judith out with that. If you get this, you've got a nice lead.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31Until 1992, which county cricket club had a rule forbidding those
0:10:31 > 0:10:36born outside the historic county from playing for the club?
0:10:38 > 0:10:44- Well, um... I've HEARD of Yorkshire! - LAUGHTER
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Cricket's not really something I'd watch.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I would... Yorkshire's the biggest.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I would guess that Yorkshire would be the most...
0:10:54 > 0:10:59proud of being from Yorkshire and have some sort of Yorkshire streak.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01So I'll go for Yorkshire.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05OK. Right answer, yes. Yorkshire is correct.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Well, Judith,
0:11:08 > 0:11:14in which US sport has Phil Jackson been one of the most successful coaches of all time?
0:11:16 > 0:11:20What a question! Honestly! Talk about obscure.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Well, I shouldn't think it's ice hockey.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27So either basketball or baseball.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29So, eenie, meenie...
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Baseball.
0:11:31 > 0:11:36You've had these choices before and it's finished the same. Basketball.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Phil Jackson there, basketball coach.
0:11:39 > 0:11:45Great news for you, Alexander. You have victory if you give me a correct answer here.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49In July 2010, Jamie Baker and James Ward represented Great Britain
0:11:49 > 0:11:53in an international contest against Turkey in which sport?
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Well, you don't do doubles in boxing.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03So I wouldn't have thought it would be boxing.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I'd guess, because I've not heard of them,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I would guess squash.
0:12:08 > 0:12:14- Squash. Do you know, Judith? - Of course I don't know, Dermot!
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- LAUGHING:- OK! It's the way you say that. Other Eggheads?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Tennis.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24Tennis. A chance for Judith to mount an improbable comeback.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28We've seen it happen before on Eggheads.
0:12:28 > 0:12:34In 2009, Derby County Football Club unveiled a bronze bust of which former player
0:12:34 > 0:12:37overlooking the pitch at their Pride Park stadium?
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Huh!
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Eenie, meenie.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48I haven't been down the right lately. Steve Bloomer.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- It's the right answer, Judith! - Is it? There you are!
0:12:52 > 0:12:58Any other Egghead tell me more about Steve Bloomer?
0:12:58 > 0:13:01I believe he was a goalkeeper, going back a long way.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06- He was an England goalkeeper as well, I think.- I see. OK.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Classic player, Steve Bloomer, guessed at by Judith.
0:13:09 > 0:13:15Semi-comeback on the way. You need this to win the round, Alexander, or else we go to Sudden Death.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Which American middle distance runner
0:13:18 > 0:13:24is regarded as the founder of speed golf, in which players run between shots?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Um...
0:13:30 > 0:13:33A running question AND a golf question!
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I know nothing about either.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- SIGHS - I don't know.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41I'm going to guess Sydney Maree
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- because I think you wouldn't make that name up.- Right!
0:13:45 > 0:13:49An array of wild guessing techniques!
0:13:49 > 0:13:54This one hasn't landed, I'm afraid. It's Steve Scott on speed golf.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Running between the shots. Well, Judith,
0:13:57 > 0:14:02clawing your way back into it after getting two wrong. Sudden Death.
0:14:02 > 0:14:09In 2007, Italy and France competed for the first time for the Giuseppe Garibaldi trophy in which sport?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Right, well, he must have been Italian.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- I don't know. Sailing. - Sailing?- Yeah.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- Other Eggheads?- Rugby union? - It's rugby union.- Oh.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Another chance, Alexander.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30In which US state is the famous Belmont Park racecourse located?
0:14:32 > 0:14:38I'm sure, when we went... Me and Kirsty went on holiday to New York in September.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42I'm sure there's a subway station called Belmont.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47- I'm going to guess it's New York. - New York for Belmont Park.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50It's the right answer! That holiday paid off!
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Means you're in the final round.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58Bad luck, Judith. Quite a spirited defence in the end, but not to be.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Eggheads, we were discussing that Derby County question Steve Bloomer.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10I've been thinking. You were wrong, Kevin, he wasn't a goalkeeper.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I was thinking about somebody else.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- He was a forward.- Yeah, he was. - Born in 1874.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22Prolific scorer for England. 28 goals in 23 appearances!
0:15:22 > 0:15:26If only we had a forward like that now! Fantastic stuff.
0:15:26 > 0:15:32- I'm surprised again that those facts aren't at your fingertips like they are mine!- Yes.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37If only you could bring it forward more quickly, you'd be on the team.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Goalkeeper!
0:15:39 > 0:15:43It's looking a lot better for Quiz Me Hardy. It's all-square.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49This one is Geography.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Who'd like to play this?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56I'm quite happy to go forward for Geography.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Who do we want to play?
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- Kevin, Barry or Chris available on the Eggheads side.- Barry?
0:16:02 > 0:16:08Barry's got a bit of a tan! He's been kicking about somewhere!
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- Helen will play Barry.- OK, Helen and Barry into the Question Room.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Helen, would you like to go first or second?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19I'd like to go first, please.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Best of luck.
0:16:22 > 0:16:28Meaning "land of the rising sun", what is the Japanese word for Japan?
0:16:30 > 0:16:34I have absolutely no idea, I'm afraid.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39I have heard of the word Kyoto, but I'm not sure what it means.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I don't know.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46I've no idea, but I have heard of Kyoto so I'm going to say Kyoto.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- Because I've heard of it. - OK. Kyoto is IN Japan.
0:16:50 > 0:16:57But the word FOR Japan in Japanese is Nippon. Not Kyoto.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Heard a good story about Nippon.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04There was a travel company called Kinki, K-I-N-K-I.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09They complained everyone in London laughed at them as they walked down the street.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11They went back to Japan,
0:17:11 > 0:17:16they looked at their bag and it said, Kinki Nippon Tourist.
0:17:16 > 0:17:22So they changed the name of the travel company when they travel to the UK.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24But Nippon, not Kyoto.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28So, Barry, chance for the lead. The Gulf of Carpentaria
0:17:28 > 0:17:31is enclosed on three sides by which country?
0:17:33 > 0:17:37That's the large gulf on the north coast of Australia.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41It is. It's the right answer. You have a lead.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46Luanda is the capital and largest city of which African country?
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Oh.
0:17:49 > 0:17:56Again, I have absolutely no idea. Going to be a complete guess.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I'm going to say...Namibia.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Cos I've no idea at all.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05OK, Luanda is not the capital of Namibia.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Barry, do you know?- It's Angola. - Angola.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12So a chance, then, for Barry to wrap the round up.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17What is the term for an area of low rainfall on the leeward side of a hill or range of mountains?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Because it's in the shadow of mountains, it's a rain shadow.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Rain shadow is correct. Bad luck, Helen.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29You're not in the final round.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:18:32 > 0:18:38Two members of Quiz Me Hardy will be missing from the final round. One Egghead gone.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41The last chance to knock a player out on Music.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Who'd like to play this?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I'll give it a go.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Scott, who would you like to play from the Eggheads? Kevin or Chris?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53I think Chris. Scott will play Chris.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58Scott and Chris, then, heading for the Question Room now, please.
0:18:58 > 0:19:04- Scott, do you want to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07All right, here you go.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12Which organisation first sponsored the series of concerts called the Proms in 1927,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15and has been involved since?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Hm. Well, um...
0:19:21 > 0:19:25The Royal Mail Proms? British Museum Proms?
0:19:25 > 0:19:30The most familiar sounding of those combinations is the BBC Proms.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32I'm going to go for BBC.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Yes. It's the right answer.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42Which term is used for a pop song created by blending two or more songs,
0:19:42 > 0:19:46for instance the music track of one song and vocal track of another?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Hm. Well, it's not a cash-up.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53That's what you do at the end of the day.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57It's not a lash-up cos that's the sort of thing I build.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00You get two tracks and mash them together. A mash-up.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05Yes, it is, a mash-up. I'd like to see the lash-ups you build!
0:20:05 > 0:20:10The jazz singer and pianist Diana Krall was born in which country?
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Hm.
0:20:13 > 0:20:20Um, well, it happens that the only thing I know about her,
0:20:20 > 0:20:25besides the fact that I think she's married to Elvis Costello,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29is her nationality, that she's Canadian.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33It's an important bit of information. It's the right answer.
0:20:35 > 0:20:42Nina Simone's 1990s autobiography shares a title with which song writting by Screamin' Jay Hawkins?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Nina Simone was fairly radical,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53involved with the Civil Rights movement.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57I think her autobiography was To Be Young, Gifted And Black.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59It's not, Chris.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- Other Eggheads? - I think it's the second one.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06It's I Put A Spell On You, Nina Simone's autobiography.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Third question. This wins it for you, Scott.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12A correct answer here.
0:21:12 > 0:21:18In 2008, Herbie Hancock won the Album of the Year at the Grammys for River,
0:21:18 > 0:21:21a tribute album to which other artist?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Herbie Hancock? Um...
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Right.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34Well, Joni Mitchell, I think, is sort of, um...
0:21:34 > 0:21:38I think she flirted with jazz a bit.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43She may have collaborated with Herbie Hancock at one time.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48I'm trying to think, I don't think any of them have a song called River
0:21:48 > 0:21:50by any of those.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53But I'm going to guess Joni Mitchell.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Guess at Joni Mitchell.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- Alexander looking pleased. You know this?- Her daughter's called River.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04And she has a song called River on Blue.
0:22:04 > 0:22:11It's the right answer. Booked your place in the final round today.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:22:14 > 0:22:20So this is what we've been playing towards, the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't take part.
0:22:25 > 0:22:31Helen and Donald from Quiz Me Hardy, and Chris and Judith from the Eggheads, leave the studio please.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38Alexander, Kirsty and Scott, you're playing to win £2,000.
0:22:38 > 0:22:45Barry, Pat and Kevin, you're playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50I'll ask each team three questions in turn. You are allowed to confer.
0:22:50 > 0:22:57Alexander, Kirsty and Scott, the question is, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- Quiz Me Hardy, would you like to go first or second?- We'll go first.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05So, Kirsty and Quiz Me Hardy,
0:23:05 > 0:23:12who did the Spanish actor Javier Bardem marry in July 2010?
0:23:15 > 0:23:20- He was the guy in No Country For Old Men.- Yeah.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I think it's either Salma Hayek
0:23:23 > 0:23:25or Penelope Cruz.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Was Penelope Cruz not going out with Tom Cruise?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Tom Cruise is very wee.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Javier Bardem is very big so maybe she thought...
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Don't bring your ridiculous logic into this!
0:23:39 > 0:23:43I think Penelope Cruz, only because of ridiculous logic.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47OK, fine, whatever our reason...
0:23:47 > 0:23:52- You think Penelope Cruz? OK. - We'll go with Penelope Cruz.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57Some ridiculous logic and some not so ridiculous got the right answer.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Married in July 2010.
0:24:00 > 0:24:06First question for the Eggheads, in the world of fashion, Pam Hogg is best known for which role?
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- Does that mean anything to either of you?- No.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15That's spelled H-O-G-G, Dermot?
0:24:15 > 0:24:20- Yeah. It is. Pam Hogg.- Doesn't ring any bells with me whatsoever.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24My completely unscientific instinct would be there's more room to hide
0:24:24 > 0:24:28as a designer, and achieve obscurity.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Well, from us, but that's puny logic, really.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35There's more designers than possibly anybody else.
0:24:35 > 0:24:41She is the percentage guess, rather designer is the percentage guess.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Maybe.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46We simply don't know. We haven't got the faintest.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50It could be any of the three so we'll say designer.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Both sides having a struggle with their first question.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Quiz Me Hardy got theirs in the end. And so have the Eggheads.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Yes, designer is correct.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- Percentage guess.- Not even that!
0:25:02 > 0:25:05It could have been any of those three.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09One in three. They got it anyway. Quiz Me Hardy, second question.
0:25:09 > 0:25:16In Greek mythology, who killed or banished the man-eating Stymphalian birds?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Seems like the kind of thing Heracles would do.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- Heracles did lots of things, 12 of them.- Was that one of the 12?
0:25:27 > 0:25:31He cleaned out a stable. That's the only one that I know.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- That didn't sound very...- Heroic.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Shall we say Heracles, then?
0:25:37 > 0:25:42- I would guess Heracles.- I thought Heracles.- You're Arts & Books.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- Shall we say Heracles?- Yeah. - You want to? OK.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- Heracles?- Heracles.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53It's the right answer. Well done.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Eggheads, what is the proofreading mark
0:25:55 > 0:25:59resembling a circumflex that's written on a text
0:25:59 > 0:26:04to indicate that something has been omitted and should be inserted?
0:26:06 > 0:26:10It's a caret, isn't it? Yeah. It's a caret.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12That is the correct answer.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Two each.
0:26:14 > 0:26:20What name do the French give to the type of mushroom called porcini in Italian?
0:26:23 > 0:26:28- Where's Helen when you need her? - Um... Hm.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- I think it's one of the first two. - One of the first two.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Morille made me think of cherries, like Morello cherries.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I don't know that it's related.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Pick one and go with it.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- I'd say girolle. - Shall we say girolle?- Yeah.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52- Girolle.- OK, girolle. Eggheads, what do you think?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- I'd have gone for cepe.- Cepe.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59Cepe, unfortunately. A chance for the Eggheads.
0:26:59 > 0:27:06Who adapted the John Lahr book Prick Up Your Ears about the writer Joe Orton for a 1987 feature film?
0:27:10 > 0:27:14- My first thought was Alan Bennett. - Mine, too.- But I'm not sure.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20- Of the three, he seems the logical one.- Sounds like David Hare to me.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Doesn't it sound like David Hare?
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- I think Alan Bennett rings a distant bell.- He does with me.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- Oh, well.- Should know this, really.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32It leapt out at me when they came up.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37- Same for you?- A distant bell. - That's good enough for me.- OK?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43OK, yeah. I'll go with that?
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Not sure on this, but we're hoping it does ring some faint bells.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- Alan Bennett.- Alan Bennett.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- Not sure?- Not sure at all. - Prick Up Your Ears.
0:27:53 > 0:27:59The adaptation for the 1987 feature film was written or adapted...
0:27:59 > 0:28:03by Alan Bennett, it is the correct answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Eggheads, a complete guess on the first answer. Sure on the second.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- Good quizzers, Quiz Me Hardy. - It was a nice game.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Thank you very much for coming in and quizzing the Eggheads today.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25Those Eggheads have done what comes naturally and still reign supreme over Quizland.
0:28:25 > 0:28:31You won't be going home with the £2,000. That means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:33 > 0:28:38Join us to see if a new team of challengers has the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41£3,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
