0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34You might recognise them. They've won some of the toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38They are the Eggheads. And taking on our awesome quiz champions today
0:00:38 > 0:00:42are Mental Block from Leeds. Now, this team all know one another
0:00:42 > 0:00:45through working for the same banking group,
0:00:45 > 0:00:47and are happy to admit they had a mental block
0:00:47 > 0:00:50whilst trying to think up a team name. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hello. I'm Ray. I'm 54, and a software developer.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi. I'm Janice. I'm 53, and I'm a tailoress.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi. I'm Gary, 52, and I'm an IT professional.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Hello. I'm Jack. I'm 67. I'm a retired examinations-subject officer.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hi. I'm Paddy. I'm 67, and I'm retired.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Well, great honesty there in your selection of team names.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13You do quite a lot of quizzing, don't you?
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Yes, certainly. Gary and Jack play in a quiz team regularly.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21And the same quiz league, I believe, as our Barry,
0:01:21 > 0:01:25who's not here today, but... Have you ever played against Barry?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Yes, we have played against Barry. - We haven't won yet.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Haven't won yet? How many times have you played against him?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Well, they're in the first division. We're in the second.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Ah! - So we only occasionally play him.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40So, they haven't found him out and relegated him yet.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Plenty of practice, then. What about the rest of you?
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- Are you in a quiz team? - No. Only watching Eggheads,
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- trying to answer the questions. - All right. Let's play the quiz.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs by our challengers.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over
0:01:58 > 0:02:01to the next show. The Eggheads have won the last three games.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04That means £4,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08And our first head-to-head is on the subject of sport.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- Any one of you, to kick off. - I think that's Gary.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Looks like me. Yeah, I think so. - Who are you taking on?
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- I think I'm going to take on Daphne. - Ooh!
0:02:19 > 0:02:21OK. Daphne.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Sports. Attempt to knock Daphne out there,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27and Gary and Daphne taking on this first subject.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Could I ask you both to take your positions in the Question Room,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33just to make sure you can't confer.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Well, Gary trying to take Daphne out of the game.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43And tell me about sports. Any sports you particularly follow?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I like all sports, Dermot,
0:02:45 > 0:02:49but one particular thing I've done recently is take up golf,
0:02:49 > 0:02:53which is... I now play for English Blind Golf Association
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- in tournaments throughout the year. - So, how does that work?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Do you have a guide, someone to tell you where the ball is
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- and how far it is from the hole? - That's exactly right, yes.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06You work as a team with your guide, and they act as your eyes,
0:03:06 > 0:03:10and it's my job to hit the ball, which is the simple part.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13The guide's a bit of a caddy, as well, then?
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- Absolutely.- Help carry the clubs. - That's correct, yeah,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- and to keep you mentally focussed. - Keeps you fit, as well.- It does.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Good walk spoiled?- Er, not at all.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26No. The other way round, I would say.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28OK, Gary. Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34OK. Best of luck, Gary. Here's your first question, then.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Which tennis player won the Men's Singles title at Wimbledon in 2010?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45That would be Rafael Nadal.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Rafael Nadal is the right answer. Yes.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49OK, Daphne. Your first question.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Which Uruguayan footballer won the Golden Ball,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55the award given to the best player of the tournament,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57at the 2010 World Cup?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03That would be Diego Forlan.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Could have asked you which is the only one of them that's Uruguayan!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Oh! - SHE LAUGHS
0:04:10 > 0:04:13It's another way round that. Yes, it's the right answer.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18OK, Gary, your second question. In athletics,
0:04:18 > 0:04:21what is the first field event in a decathlon?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27First field event in a decathlon.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Mmm. Not got really much of an inclination here.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41I'm going to plump, and it is a plump,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44for the long jump.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47You're not for the long jump. It's the right answer.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Well done, Gary.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53First field event in a decathlon. Is it the first event, or is there...
0:04:53 > 0:04:55The hundred metres is the first,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58and then the long jump I think is the second after that.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03Right. Daphne, Stacey Kemp and David King
0:05:03 > 0:05:06have represented Great Britain in which sport?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12SHE SIGHS
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Oh, dear.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Sorry. I don't recognise the names.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Um...
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I will go for...
0:05:24 > 0:05:26figure skating.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- Figure skating?- Mm-hm.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30OK. Why's that, Daphne?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I just thought Stacey sounded quite a young name.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38- Is...- Stacey sounds like a young figure skater?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Well, yes. It doesn't sound like an archer.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43This is the mighty Eggheads at work, then?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- SHE LAUGHS - Wrong.- It's the right answer.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50So yes, that's the mighty Eggheads at work, guessing correctly.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52OK. Well, er, Gary, it's all square.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55This might win the round for you.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58In which stadium does the Italian national rugby union team
0:05:58 > 0:06:01usually play its home matches?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Mm. It's another guess. Er...
0:06:20 > 0:06:26Stadio Plebiscito sounds a bit, er, like "the plebs". Um...
0:06:28 > 0:06:32I'm going to plump for the middle one, Communale di Monigo.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- OK. Communale di Monigo. - That's the one.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39It's not the Plebiscito. Neither is it the Communale di Monigo.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43It is the Flaminio, Stadio Flaminio.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Well, not identified by Gary, so a chance for Daphne.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Which Australian cricketer bowled a 100-miles-per-hour delivery
0:06:51 > 0:06:53in July 2010?
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Are they all bowlers? I don't... Um...
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Sorry. I don't know a lot about cricket.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Um...
0:07:08 > 0:07:12I like the name Shaun Tait.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18You like the name? You liked the name Stacey Kemp before that.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22And Shaun Tait sounds like he might have - what? Very strong arms?
0:07:22 > 0:07:27- Yes.- Bowl very fast. Is that... This is again the logic.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31I don't believe it. You're an Egghead, and random guessing.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35The truth, Daphne, finally speaks. You got it right!
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Shaun Tait!
0:07:37 > 0:07:41I'm going to apologise to you, Gary, on behalf of the Eggheads,
0:07:41 > 0:07:44and Daphne in particular, with two outrageous guesses there,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48winning the round. Means you won't be playing in the final round, Gary.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Well, still apologising after Daphne, then.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Are you going to buy a lottery ticket this weekend?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- You've used up all your luck. You wouldn't have a chance.- No.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Goodness me! Well, as it stands, the Eggheads are all there.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Mental Block have lost one brain.
0:08:05 > 0:08:11And our second head-to-head today is on the subject of Film & Television.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Who fancies this one? Film & TV. It can't be Gary. He's just played.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- THEY CHATTER - Yes. Me.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Yeah. Me, Dermot. - Good stuff, Janice.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Which Egghead would you like to play?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- I'm sure you wouldn't want Daphne after that.- Try Kevin.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I'll try Kevin.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Try Kevin.- Not very hopeful, but I'll try Kevin.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34He does like this subject, but they've all got to be attacked.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Try and knock as many out as you can.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39So, Janice and Kevin playing Film & Television.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Would you both please go to the Question Room?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45So, Janice, you lived in Australia for a while, didn't you?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- I did, yes. - Whereabouts?- In Melbourne.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Back to Daphne. Is that the bit of Down Under that you visited?
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Yes. Yes. We were put up in St Kilda.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- St Kilda. You obviously know that. - Yes, we lived there!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- THEY LAUGH - Right!- Related!
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- When were you there? - We were there '98...
0:09:06 > 0:09:09No, '96 to '98, then we went back in 2000.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13I was there 1986 to '88.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Ah!- We missed each other. - Missed each other, unfortunately.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20You could have dropped something on her and stopped that performance
0:09:20 > 0:09:23last round. Janice, Film & TV.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Presumably you've got a big interest in this area, the visual arts?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I do, yes. Yeah. Well, I watch a lot of TV.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Good. A lot of quiz shows.- Yes.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Good. OK. Choose a set of questions. Do you want to go first or second?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I'll go...second, please.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Putting Master Kevin in, then, and, Kevin, your first question is this.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Which character did Bernard Lee play in 11 James Bond films?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57It was Bond's boss, M.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Yes. Was that immediately before Judi Dench,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- or Dame Judi Dench took over? - Not immediately, no.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- He was in the early films.- OK.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Well, Bernard Lee certainly played M in 11 Bond films.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12We will not be naming all those. And your first question, Janice.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Who starred as the secretary Tess McGill
0:10:15 > 0:10:18in the 1988 film Working Girl?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24I don't think it was Meryl Streep.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Um...
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I do remember the film, but I can't quite remember
0:10:29 > 0:10:33who played that role. I think I'm going to go for Melanie Griffith.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Melanie Griffith as the secretary in Working Girl...
0:10:37 > 0:10:41It's the right answer, yes. Tess McGill, played by Melanie Griffith.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45OK, your second question, Kevin. What's the title of the sitcom
0:10:45 > 0:10:48in which Tom Hollander stars as a Church of England minister?
0:10:51 > 0:10:55This was a new one, I think, in 2010, wasn't it?
0:10:55 > 0:11:00And he is, um... He is a vicar, so he wouldn't be called Bish.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05I haven't seen it. I'm just trying to recall from...
0:11:05 > 0:11:08a notice of it in the paper or something. Er...
0:11:08 > 0:11:12I can't remember whether it's Rev or Vic, to be honest.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16My first instinct was Rev.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- I'm going to go for Rev. - Staying with the first instinct?
0:11:22 > 0:11:27It's not on Daphne lines, cos you think it reminds you
0:11:27 > 0:11:29of a nice colour or a flower or something?
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- No. Nothing like that, no. - Um, it is the right answer.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Yes. Rev. Tom Hollander as Rev.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38And your second question, then, Janice.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40In the 1954 horror movie Them,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42what creatures are mutated by atomic tests
0:11:42 > 0:11:46to become the monsters of the title?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Them...
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Them.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I've got a feeling...
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Was it those giant ants in that film?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I don't watch horror movies,
0:12:01 > 0:12:05but I do remember giant ants in a film,
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- so I'm going to go for ants, Dermot. - Good one. That's the right answer.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Yes. Some vague memory there. That's enough.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Two all. Well, all to play for, going into a third question each.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Kevin, which actor made his cinema-directing debut in 2000
0:12:19 > 0:12:23with Pollock, a film about the life and times
0:12:23 > 0:12:27of the painter Jackson Pollock, in which he also played the title role?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33That was Ed Harris,
0:12:33 > 0:12:38and it got a best supporting actress Oscar award, that film,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41for Marcia Gay Harden, who was in it for about five minutes.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44You seem to know it very well. I can't quibble with that.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Ed Harris is the right answer, which means, Janice, you need to get this.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Which real-life married couple played the title roles
0:12:51 > 0:12:55in the 1990 Merchant Ivory film Mr & Mrs Bridge?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Oh! I've never seen the film.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11And the only people I recognise as being married
0:13:11 > 0:13:14is Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, so I'll go for them.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17That'll do. It's the right answer, yes.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Well done, Janice. - Thank you.- Three all,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22and still work to do, though, and harder work, Janice.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26We make it Sudden Death if it's all square after three questions,
0:13:26 > 0:13:31and take away those choices, and Kevin faces the first question.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Kevin, who starred as The District Nurse on television
0:13:34 > 0:13:38in the 1980s? Who starred as The District Nurse
0:13:38 > 0:13:40on television in the 1980s?
0:13:40 > 0:13:44I think District Nurse was, um...
0:13:45 > 0:13:48ex-Liver Bird, Nerys Hughes.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53Nerys Hughes is correct, Kevin, yes. Ex-Liver Bird, as you said.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56OK. Again, Janice, you need to get this.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Which actor appeared in both The Man From U.N.C.L.E. in the 1960s,
0:14:00 > 0:14:04and Hustle, first broadcast in 2004?
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Which actor appeared in both The Man From U.N.C.L.E. in the 1960s,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10and Hustle, first broadcast in 2004?
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Eeh, do you know, the only name I can remember
0:14:15 > 0:14:18from The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is Illya Kuryakin,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21but I think that's actually his character.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23And the other one was Robert something.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28I've got no idea. I'll go for Illya Kuryakin.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- Illya Kuryakin. Yeah. - DERMOT LAUGHS
0:14:30 > 0:14:33No, that is a character, and not this man's character.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Napoleon Solo. Does that give you a clue?- Yes.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- Do you know who played that one? - Yes. Robert somebody.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Robert. You're getting a lot closer. I'll let Kevin say it.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Vaughn.- Robert Vaughn,
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- spelt in that strange way without an A at the end.- Yes.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Robert Vaughn, Napoleon Solo. I don't know what part he plays,
0:14:51 > 0:14:56what role he is, in Hustle. Who played Illya Kuryakin, then, Kevin?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- David McCallum.- David McCallum.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01OK. That ends the round. A very good round there.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04It got into Sudden Death against the World Quiz champion,
0:15:04 > 0:15:07but not to be for you. You won't be in the final round.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Well, two finely balanced head-to-heads,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15but they both have tipped the Eggheads' way,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18so two members of Mental Block will miss the final round,
0:15:18 > 0:15:21and all the Eggheads are still there.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Two more head-to-heads coming up, the next of which is Science.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27And who'd like to play - Ray, Jack or Paddy?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- Science.- I think Paddy. - I think that's me.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Who would you like to play? Kevin and Daphne have played,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- so you've got CJ, Judith or Pat. - I'll go for CJ...- OK.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- ..if that's OK. - Of course it is. OK with you, CJ?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- No, not really.- Not that we care. - THEY LAUGH
0:15:43 > 0:15:45It's Paddy and CJ, then, playing this one.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Into the Question Room, please.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Paddy, you were very keen to take this on.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Not the most popular subject in Eggheads.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Lot of teams shy away from it. Have you got a scientific background?
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Not particularly. Just a lot of reading here and there,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- and a general interest.- OK.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Choose a set of questions. Do you want to go first or second?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Um, I'll go first.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Good luck, Paddy. This is your first question.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17In mathematics, what term describes two or more lines
0:16:17 > 0:16:20lying in the same plane, that never meet
0:16:20 > 0:16:22no matter how far they are extended?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- Parallel.- Must be, yes. It's the right answer. Parallel lines.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32And, CJ, what name is given to the control column
0:16:32 > 0:16:34used to pilot a large aircraft?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Well, as far as I know it's just the yoke.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43It can't be a harness. I don't think it's a rein.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46I'll go for yoke.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Not a rein?- Don't think so. - No horses up there in charge?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51A yoke is the right answer, yes.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55OK. Paddy, which creature has the scientific name
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Vanessa atalanta?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Vanessa as in the woman's name,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07and atalanta, A-T-A-L-A-N-T-A?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Well, the Vanessa is the genera name,
0:17:11 > 0:17:13the first of the two, the genera name,
0:17:13 > 0:17:17and I don't think the red deer or the squirrel have those,
0:17:17 > 0:17:19so I'll go for the red admiral, the butterfly.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22You've worked it out. Well done. That's correct. Red admiral.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28And, CJ, at roughly 10.7 hours, which planet in the solar system
0:17:28 > 0:17:30has the shortest day after Jupiter?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36I knew Jupiter had the shortest.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Um...
0:17:39 > 0:17:42I mean, logically it should be Mercury.
0:17:44 > 0:17:50I mean, a day is how long it takes to revolve on its own axis.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Now, Mercury orbits very quickly,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57goes round the sun in 88 days.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04But that doesn't really affect how long its day is.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09I don't think Saturn has a particularly short day.
0:18:09 > 0:18:15Um, I'm not aware that Mars has a particularly short day either,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- so I'll go for Mercury. - Mercury, for a short day.
0:18:18 > 0:18:2010.7 hours, roughly.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22It's not, no.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27It's the closest to the sun, but no. Other Eggheads, do you know?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Saturn.- It's Saturn.- Oh, well!
0:18:30 > 0:18:33So, do we know how long the day is, then, in Jupiter?
0:18:33 > 0:18:37It's not much less than that - maybe something like nine hours.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I see. But Saturn's the answer we were looking for.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42We didn't get it from CJ, so, Paddy,
0:18:42 > 0:18:46you'll be the first member of Mental Block into the final round
0:18:46 > 0:18:48if you get this correct. The Mond process,
0:18:48 > 0:18:53developed by the 19th-century German chemist and industrialist
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Ludwig Mond, M-O-N-D,
0:18:55 > 0:18:57is a method of obtaining which metal?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05I don't think it can be copper, because copper's been known
0:19:05 > 0:19:09and refined for centuries, millennia.
0:19:09 > 0:19:15Zinc is also quite well known, so if it had to be that recent,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I'd have to go for nickel.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20OK. Nickel, if it's as recent as the 19th century.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23That's your reasoning for the Mond process.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Well, the Paddy process has taken you into the final round.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28That's correct. Nickel.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Good effort there, Paddy. Very, very solid on that subject.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Hope you'll be solid on general knowledge
0:19:35 > 0:19:39when you face it in the final round, where you'll be playing.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Good effort by Paddy. Makes it two-one to the Eggheads.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Two members of Mental Block missing from the final round,
0:19:48 > 0:19:52one Egghead gone, and our last subject before that final round
0:19:52 > 0:19:55comes up as Music. Who'd like to play this?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Two players can play. It's either Jack or Ray.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- Music.- That would be me, Dermot.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Right, Ray. And who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Who have we got left there? Pat and Judith.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- I'll go for Judith, I think.- OK.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13It's Ray and Judith playing Music. Into the Question Room, please.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18So, Ray, Music. What are your musical tastes?
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Um, quite eclectic, really. I like a bit of classical, a bit of rock,
0:20:22 > 0:20:26- a bit of pop, a bit of everything. - Ideal for the category.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Would you like to go first or second?- I'd like to go second.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34OK, Judith, your first question, then.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37One of your very favourite acts here.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41In which year did Rick Astley's single, Never Gonna Give You Up,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43reach the top of the UK charts?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I haven't the faintest idea.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I hate date questions! I can never do them.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54I don't know. 1984.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57No. You really don't know, do you? It's 1987.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01OK. Well, nothing there for Judith. Got '84 instead of '87.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04So, is Ray's plan already working? Let's find out.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07What is the title of the Beatles song that begins
0:21:07 > 0:21:10"I once had a girl, or should I say she once had me"?
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I remember that well. Norwegian Wood, I believe.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21It's the right answer. Norwegian Wood, from The Beatles.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25So, one-nil to you. See how Judith does with this one.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27In 1954,
0:21:27 > 0:21:31the song Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen by the Sea
0:21:31 > 0:21:35gave which entertainer one of his several UK top-ten singles?
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Well, I think the '50s were kind of Max Bygraves' time,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- so I'm going to say Max Bygraves. - Max Bygraves,
0:21:44 > 0:21:50for Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen by the Sea.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53It's the right answer, yes. Max Bygraves.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57So, still in it, but the lead goes back to Ray if he gets this.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01What's the name of the central male character in the stage musical
0:22:01 > 0:22:02We Will Rock You?
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Stage musicals is not really my thing,
0:22:10 > 0:22:15so I might have to have a guess here, I think, and...
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Well, We Will Rock You reminds me of a Queen song,
0:22:18 > 0:22:24and there was a... Galileo was in a Queen song,
0:22:24 > 0:22:27if I remember rightly. So was Fandango, come to think of it.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30And...
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- I think I'll stick with Galileo. - You're thinking of Bohemian Rhapsody
0:22:33 > 0:22:37and saying Galileo was in it. Fandango was also in it,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39as is Beelzebub, in actual fact,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42if you think through that very long song.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47But the answer is Galileo. It's the right answer. Well done.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Which means Judith needs to get this to keep her hopes alive.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56Which composer's Opus 33 No. 2 in E flat major
0:22:56 > 0:23:00is known as The Joke, because of the several ways it tricks audiences
0:23:00 > 0:23:03into thinking it has finished when it hasn't?
0:23:07 > 0:23:11It's someone with a sense of humour, I suppose.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I don't really know.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Schubert.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18No, it's not. It's Haydn.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Oh, that was the other one I was going to say.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22The answer's "Haydn" in there.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Very good round again by Ray this time, from Mental Block,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29taking you sailing into the final round.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39It's time for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Those of you who lost your head-to-heads can't take part,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45so, Janice and Gary from Mental Block,
0:23:45 > 0:23:50and Judith and CJ from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:23:51 > 0:23:52So, Ray, Jack and Paddy,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55you're playing to win Mental Block £4,000.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Pat, Kevin and Daphne,
0:23:58 > 0:24:01you're playing for something which money can't buy -
0:24:01 > 0:24:03the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06I'll ask each team three questions in turn, all general knowledge,
0:24:06 > 0:24:10and you are allowed to confer. Ray, Jack and Paddy, the question is,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:24:13 > 0:24:16And, Mental Block, do you want to go first or second?
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- What do you think, chaps? - I'll go with you. Whatever.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- Whatever. - Er, we'll let the Eggheads go first.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32OK. Eggheads kicking off, then, and your first question is this, then.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34In 2010,
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Julia Gillard became which country's first female prime minister?
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Australia.- Australia.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45She was born, I think, in Barry, South Wales,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47and she's become Australia's prime minister.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51The prime minister of Australia is correct, Eggheads.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54So, negotiated that one easily enough,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56and, Mental Block, your first one.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Which comedian started his career under the name Porky the Poet?
0:25:03 > 0:25:08I have no idea about this, so I'm looking for inspiration.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12I don't know either. We're going to have to make an educated guess.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- Porky...- I'd say Peter Kay for that,
0:25:16 > 0:25:21because he's the sort of person who might make fun of himself that way.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Yeah.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25So, is that what we're going for?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Ricky Gervais would make fun of himself as well.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30No. He's too sophisticated.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33OK. Right. Well, we don't know, Dermot,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- but we're going to guess Peter Kay. - Peter Kay - Porky the Poet,
0:25:36 > 0:25:40early on in his career. It's not Peter Kay.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42That's incorrect. Do you know, Eggheads?
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- Phil Jupitus.- Phil Jupitus,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Porky the Poet, early on in his career.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50So, second question, Eggheads.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Blaby and Oadby and Wigston are places within the borders
0:25:53 > 0:25:55of which historic county?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Leicestershire.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Leicestershire?
0:26:01 > 0:26:04That's Leicestershire, Dermot.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Yes, it is, Eggheads. Very good.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11OK. Well, Mental Block, you need to get this one, then.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16In the US Navy, "Midway class" was the name for what type of vessel?
0:26:19 > 0:26:23- Was it an aircraft carrier? - I wish we'd gone first now.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- Well, Midway... - USS Midway was an aircraft carrier.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30My first thought was aircraft carrier.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- The Midway was fought with aircraft carrier.- Go for that.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36We're going for aircraft carrier, because of the Battle of Midway.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38It was fought with aircraft carriers.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Aircraft carrier is the right answer.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Yes, the Midway-class vessels.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46And you were presumably fine with Leicestershire.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49You were saying you wished you'd gone first.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53You might wish that after this one.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Cross your fingers they don't get this and win the game,
0:26:56 > 0:27:00if they get this. Eggheads, in 2000, which French entrepreneur
0:27:00 > 0:27:04was brought in to take control of the struggling tourist attraction
0:27:04 > 0:27:06that was London's Millennium Dome?
0:27:09 > 0:27:13It's Gerbeau, isn't it? It's certainly neither of the others.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17I think he was a former ice-hockey player. It's Pierre-Yves Gerbeau.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Pierre-Yves Gerbeau?- Yep.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23It's the correct answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31We'll never know what would have happened
0:27:31 > 0:27:35if you'd gone the other way round, and you don't face another question,
0:27:35 > 0:27:37so you really won't know there.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40But it's a gamble. I've seen it pay off going second
0:27:40 > 0:27:43as often as it pays off going first.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47So thank you very much for playing the Eggheads today, Mental Block.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Really good rounds in those head-to-heads.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52The first two went against you, but they were close,
0:27:52 > 0:27:56then you really fought back, ended up all square in the final round
0:27:56 > 0:28:00and then just fell away with that Phil Jupitus question.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05and still reign supreme over Quiz Land.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £4,000,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:16 > 0:28:18can beat the Eggheads. £5,000 says they can't.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Until then, goodbye.
