0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads where five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:30against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:37You might recognise them as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Challenging our quiz champions today are the Exmoor Muppets.
0:00:41 > 0:00:47This team has a connection through the police force in Minehead and was formed by team captain Andy.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52I'll let him explain why they're called Muppets. Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hiya, I'm Andy, I'm 53 and I'm a police constable.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Andy, I'm 49 years old and I'm a police constable.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Jim, I'm 38 years old and I'm a driver and a special constable
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Denise, I'm 57 and I'm a customer services manager.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Hello, I'm Mark, I'm 35 and I'm a PCSO support officer.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Welcome to you, Exmoor Muppets. Andy, "the muppet", that's not a nice thing to call yourselves.
0:01:18 > 0:01:24It's an unusual acronym, Dermot. It means Most Useless Police Person Ever Trained.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Apparently.- I knew it stood for that(!) This is ironic, of course.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Yes, I don't think we're quite as bad as we're made out to be.
0:01:32 > 0:01:38But it's something you say about colleagues every now and again if things go a bit wrong?
0:01:38 > 0:01:44"Bit of a muppet there!" Let's switch from policing then to quizzing.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Have you quizzed together as a team or part of a team?
0:01:47 > 0:01:53We've been quizzing for ten years in the district league. We're now in the second division.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- So then got different expertises covered here, I would guess?- Yeah.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02All right, let's see if you can stop the Eggheads in their tracks.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Every day, £1,000 is up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Exmoor Muppets, the Eggheads have won the last five games
0:02:12 > 0:02:16and that means £6,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Our first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Politics has come up.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Who wants to play this?- I think Jim.
0:02:25 > 0:02:31- We'll have to go with Jim for that one.- Jim, you can choose any Egghead you like. It's the opening round.
0:02:31 > 0:02:37- I think we should go with CJ. - CJ?- Yeah, CJ. - OK, I'll go with CJ then, Dermot.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41All right, Jim and CJ playing Politics.
0:02:41 > 0:02:47Could I ask you both to go to the question room to make sure you can't confer with your team-mates?
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Jim, as a special constable, how does that differ from a full-time constable?
0:02:52 > 0:02:57I do fairly much the same job on a part-time basis, about 17 hours a month.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00The only difference is I don't get paid.
0:03:00 > 0:03:06- You're a sworn constable, you have all the same powers? - I have all the same powers.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I go out usually on a Friday and Saturday night
0:03:09 > 0:03:13and crew up with another police officer and do the same job.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18You choose the easy shifts, Friday and Saturday night(!) It must keep you busy.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22It does. There's more to learn at that time of night.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26You're not sitting around twiddling your thumbs, that's for sure.
0:03:26 > 0:03:32- Nor will you be in the question room today. Jim, do you want to go first or second?- I'd like to go first.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38First question, Jim, and best of luck with it.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43What derogatory term is used to describe someone who espouses left-wing views
0:03:43 > 0:03:45while enjoying a rich lifestyle?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Well, I met a few of those at university.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55They're champagne socialists.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Champagne socialists, yes, it's the right answer. OK, CJ...
0:04:00 > 0:04:05Name the regular occasion when an MP is available to his or her constituents for consultation.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11I'd like to see quite a lot of them experimented on in laboratories.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16Most don't do enough to qualify for a workshop, so I'll go for surgery.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21It's the right answer, yes, surgery.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Back to Jim for his second question.
0:04:23 > 0:04:30In the names of political or economic forums such as G8 and G20, for what does the letter G stand?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Well, I don't think it's Government.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42Certainly within the G8, there are countries thought of as major powers
0:04:42 > 0:04:44so I would consider probably...
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- I think it's Global, Dermot. - OK, Global...
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Yes, certainly a highly international, um... G8 and the G20.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55But it's just simply Group.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Group of 8 or Group of 20.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00So, CJ,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03can he take the lead with a question on American politics?
0:05:03 > 0:05:08The United States House Committee on Ways and Means is a legislative committee
0:05:08 > 0:05:12in the House of Representatives charged with what?
0:05:19 > 0:05:22It's not Supreme Court judges.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Does the House of Representatives have that much influence
0:05:26 > 0:05:30over the Senate that it would have a House Committee on it?
0:05:30 > 0:05:34I'll go with my first instinct which was raising revenue.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Yeah, it's the right answer, raising revenue.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Well, Jim, you need to get this one.
0:05:40 > 0:05:46The Wilson Doctrine, established in 1966 by the then Prime Minister Harold Wilson,
0:05:46 > 0:05:50is a ban on doing what to MPs and peers?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Dermot, I seem to recall...
0:05:59 > 0:06:03I don't know why that this suddenly sort of...
0:06:04 > 0:06:08I'd like to go with "tapping their phones", please, Dermot.
0:06:08 > 0:06:14It's the right answer, yes. "Tapping their phones", identified by Jim,
0:06:14 > 0:06:20but that G8, G20 slip-up means CJ has a chance to take the round with this question.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25What is the name of the independent body set up by the Coalition Government in May 2010
0:06:25 > 0:06:29to provide economic forecasting for the preparation of the UK Budget?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Oh, dear.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43I don't like Budget Responsibility.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47And the use of the word "independent in the question
0:06:47 > 0:06:52makes me think that it wouldn't be Treasury Management.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57I apologise profusely to the team. I should know this straight away.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00But I'll go for the Office for Financial Oversight.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Do you accept his apology, other Eggheads?- No!
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- It's the wrong answer. - Budget Responsibility.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- It is the Office for Budget Responsibility.- Oh, dear, dear.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Jim's very keen on you getting that wrong. You're still in it then, Jim.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19All square, both got one wrong in those first three.
0:07:19 > 0:07:25We go to Sudden Death and we remove the choices. Just got to hear the answer from you.
0:07:25 > 0:07:31Here's your question. In 1975, which politician and future Conservative Party leader
0:07:31 > 0:07:35married Sandra Paul, a model of the 1960s?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40That's quite a difficult one.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44It wasn't John Major because that was Norma.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46It wasn't David Cameron.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48It wasn't William Hague.
0:07:48 > 0:07:55I have a sneaking suspicion and this is just a guess by a process of elimination
0:07:55 > 0:07:57that it is Michael Howard.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01It's the right answer, yes, well done. Sandra Howard as she became,
0:08:01 > 0:08:06a noted novelist as well. Michael Howard, yeah. Well done.
0:08:06 > 0:08:12CJ, which former Minister for Sport called Margaret Thatcher a "half-mad, old bag lady"
0:08:12 > 0:08:17and accused her of having "the sensitivity of a sex-starved boa constrictor"
0:08:17 > 0:08:19during a Commons debate?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I haven't got a clue. I've never heard this.
0:08:22 > 0:08:28So I'm just going to try and pick a rather outspoken Sports Minister.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I don't know. I'll try Tony Banks.
0:08:33 > 0:08:39Tony Banks is the right answer, yes. Well known for his well-turned phrases.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42There's a couple of them concerning Margaret Thatcher.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Jim, another question for you. The term One Nation Toryism,
0:08:46 > 0:08:50used to refer to the left-wing strand of the Conservative Party,
0:08:50 > 0:08:55comes indirectly from a novel by which 19th century British Prime Minister?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I honestly don't know. I will have to take a guess.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03And I would have to take a guess at Benjamin Disraeli.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Spot-on, Jim. Well done.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Benjamin Disraeli,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11well identified by Jim.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14CJ, which EU treaty, signed in October 1997,
0:09:14 > 0:09:19focused on clarifying and updating the Maastricht Treaty?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23This one I don't know at all.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30I've got nothing to go on, so I'm just going to have to make a blind guess.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- Vienna.- Vienna...
0:09:34 > 0:09:40It's not. Think of Tony Blair racing EU leaders on a bicycle. Do you remember that?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- No.- Amsterdam.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- Amsterdam Treaty. Oh, yes, CJ, bicycles.- No, no, no.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Amsterdam Treaty is what we wanted and Jim, that means
0:09:51 > 0:09:53you're through to the final round.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:09:58 > 0:10:04Jim, no danger of you being called "the muppet". Fantastic round. You're in the final round.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09The Eggheads have lost one brain. Our next head-to-head is Music. Who'd like to play?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Music. It can't be Jim.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- Mark, do you think? - I'm not that good on Music, no.
0:10:15 > 0:10:22- TV and Film are OK.- I'll throw myself on it then.- I think Andy M is going to have to do Music.
0:10:22 > 0:10:29- Andy M. And which Egghead would you like to play? Anyone apart from CJ. - I think Chris.- I think Chris.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34- Chris.- OK, Andy M and Chris contesting this one. Into the question room, please.
0:10:35 > 0:10:41Andy, I could tell from the choosing there that this isn't your favourite subject.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46- What ideally would you have played? - I think Andy had it in mind for me to stay till the end,
0:10:46 > 0:10:53- but I'd better get through this to get to the end.- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Good luck, Andy.
0:10:57 > 0:11:03"Go on now, go, walk out the door, just turn around now cos you're not welcome any more" are lines
0:11:03 > 0:11:05from which disco favourite?
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Well, I've got that tune going through my head now
0:11:13 > 0:11:16and I think it's I Will Survive.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21Yes, I Will Survive which is what you're trying to do in this round.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24First question for you, Chris.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29What's the title of Kylie Minogue's album that reached the top of the UK chart in July 2010?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Ah...
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Well, Salome is an opera by Richard Strauss
0:11:39 > 0:11:43with Aubrey Beardsley and all that, so it wouldn't be Salome.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47She's not got the right sort of looks for Cleopatra,
0:11:47 > 0:11:51but Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of love which would appeal to her,
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- so I'll say Aphrodite.- Yes, you're right, Aphrodite. Well done.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59July 2010, that was released. Andy, second question.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04Which comedy duo in collaboration with EMF had a UK top ten single in 1995
0:12:04 > 0:12:08with a cover of The Monkees' I'm A Believer?
0:12:12 > 0:12:17I think I know this one. I think it's Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Reeves and Mortimer, it's the right answer. Well done.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25OK, well, going strongly there, Andy.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Chris, who sang lead vocals on the song Instant Karma
0:12:29 > 0:12:32that appeared in the UK singles chart in 1970?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38# Instant Karma's gonna get you... #
0:12:38 > 0:12:40No, not Ringo Starr.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Was it McCartney? No, it was John Lennon.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47It was, yeah, John Lennon is the right answer.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Which classical composer spent a number of years from 1703 onwards
0:12:53 > 0:12:56teaching music to the inhabitants of an orphanage in Venice?
0:13:01 > 0:13:05I was dreading the classical question coming up and here it is,
0:13:05 > 0:13:09so this is going to have to be a complete guess.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15I think I'll go for Paganini.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Paganini teaching in an orphanage in 1703...
0:13:19 > 0:13:23It's not the right answer. Chris, do you know? Monteverdi or Vivaldi?
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I'd go for Monteverdi, but I'm not too sure.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29No, it's Vivaldi.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Not identified by Andy, so a chance for Chris.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37Mexican Reggae was the original title of which classic rock track?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Ah...
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Well, House Of The Rising Sun hasn't got a reggae beat to it.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Neither has Bohemian Rhapsody.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53# Welcome to the Hotel California... #
0:13:53 > 0:13:56That's almost a reggae beat. Hotel California.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Thanks for rendering it in that fashion.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Mexican Reggae is the original title of Hotel California. It's right.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Well done, Chris. You're in the final round.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11He survived a Music round there and I'm afraid you didn't, Andy.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16You won't be in the final round. Come back and join your teams.
0:14:17 > 0:14:23- Bad luck, Andy. I bet you knew that Hotel California question. - I did.- The classical got you.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27It means both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Our third head-to-head, this one is Sport.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Who'd like to play this? Andy C, Denise or Mark?
0:14:34 > 0:14:40Normally, I would go for Sport, but I think I should be there for the last round.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45- You'll go for that one, yeah? - Shall I go and throw myself on the sword?- Yeah.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48He probably won't want to do it, but he's going to do it.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Mark, which Egghead would you like to play?
0:14:51 > 0:14:57- CJ and Chris have played, so you've got Barry, Daphne or Kevin. - I think we'll go for Barry.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02It's Mark and Barry playing the Sport round. Into the question room, please.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Mark, you're playing Sport. Would you like to go first or second?
0:15:07 > 0:15:11I'll get it over with quicker, so I'll go first.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Best of luck, Mark.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18What term is given to the parts of a golf course
0:15:18 > 0:15:23where the grass is grown longer than on the fairways, greens and tees?
0:15:25 > 0:15:29I'm rather pleased that the answer that was in my head
0:15:29 > 0:15:32before the choices came up is up there.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37And I don't think it's scrub or pasture. I believe it's rough.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Yeah, the rough. Well done.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Good start. Over to Barry.
0:15:42 > 0:15:48Which natural material from the intestines of animals has been used for the strings of tennis racquets?
0:15:53 > 0:15:57I believe ambergris comes from whales and is used in perfumery.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- The answer is catgut. - Catgut is the right answer, yes.
0:16:02 > 0:16:08OK, Mark, in which sport did Dick McTaggart win a gold medal for Great Britain
0:16:08 > 0:16:11at the 1956 Olympic Games?
0:16:14 > 0:16:19This will be a complete guess. It's way before my time and...
0:16:19 > 0:16:24at least two of the sports there I know nothing about.
0:16:24 > 0:16:30It sounds like the name of a boxer. A good, strong name. Boxing.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35A good, strong name! Not to say that rowers and gymnasts aren't strong,
0:16:35 > 0:16:39but Dick McTaggart was a boxer. It's the right answer.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Well identified there by Mark.
0:16:41 > 0:16:47Your question, Barry. The world-famous horse race the Kentucky Derby
0:16:47 > 0:16:50takes place on what surface?
0:16:53 > 0:16:58What a lovely question. I've known of the Kentucky Derby for years,
0:16:58 > 0:17:05but I can't remember what surface it is. I can't for a moment believe that it's artificial turf.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- A lot of American races are on dirt tracks, so dirt.- Dirt?
0:17:09 > 0:17:14It's the right answer. Well done. Good guess. It's all square
0:17:14 > 0:17:16going into the third question.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21At the 1984 Olympic Games, who won the gold medal in the 800 metres
0:17:21 > 0:17:24leaving Sebastian Coe with silver?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Right.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34I can honestly say I don't have a clue with this one.
0:17:34 > 0:17:41So I'm just going to take a straight guess and go down the middle with Carlos Lopes.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46Carlos Lopes beating Seb Coe there to the gold in 1984. No.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51- Do you know, Barry? - I think it was Joaquim Cruz.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56It was. Taking gold in the 800 metres in Los Angeles.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57So it means
0:17:57 > 0:18:03a chance for Barry to wrap it up. Which rugby union club won
0:18:03 > 0:18:06its fourth Heineken Cup in 2010?
0:18:08 > 0:18:13Oh, gosh. I read this recently and have now completely forgotten it.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Munster, Leicester Tigers or Toulouse.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21I know Munster have won something recently. I'll go for Munster.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26For their fourth Heineken Cup in 2010.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- You're looking stern, Daphne. - Oh, is it Leicester Tigers?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I might have gone for Toulouse.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Barry's second guess is Leicester. It's not them or Munster.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41It is Toulouse. So you didn't know it.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46- I knew it once!- You forgot it. - But not now.- Bad luck, Barry.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Well, we go to sudden death.
0:18:49 > 0:18:56The tennis player Samantha Stosur made her Fed Cup debut in 2003 playing for which country?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Em...OK.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06Samantha's a fairly English name, so I can't work it out from that.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11Go with the surname and I'm going to plump with...
0:19:11 > 0:19:14The first one that came into my head was Hungary.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19OK, Hungary. Samantha Stosur played for...Australia.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Australia, believe it or not.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25OK, a chance then again.
0:19:25 > 0:19:32Which former footballer was appointed manager of Argentina's national side in November, 2008?
0:19:32 > 0:19:39In the recent World Cup, the manager was Diego Maradona. Was he appointed manager as early as 2008?
0:19:39 > 0:19:44I think he was. And what a wonderful spectacle he made of it!
0:19:44 > 0:19:49It is the right answer. Diego Maradona took over the national side
0:19:49 > 0:19:51in 2008.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56That gives you the round. Mark, you won't be in the final round.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Both please rejoin your teams.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04As it stands, the Exmoor Muppets are missing two brains, Eggheads one.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09And our last Head to Head before the final round is Food and Drink.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Who's playing this? Denise?
0:20:11 > 0:20:18- Me.- Who would you like to play from the Eggheads - Kevin or Daphne? - Kevin.- I think we'll go with Kevin.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23It's Denise and Kevin, then. Into the Question Room, please.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Well, Denise, if you can knock Kevin out, it'll even it up.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- Would you like to go first or second?- First if I may, please.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Of course you may.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38This is your question. A snifter is a type of what?
0:20:41 > 0:20:46OK, I think the clue is maybe in the name, the snifter part.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51I would rule out a spoon and plate. I would go for a glass.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56It's a type of glass, yes. Hence the phrase. "Going for a snifter."
0:20:56 > 0:21:00OK, Kevin, what type of foodstuff is mizuna?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05M-I-Z-U-N-A.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Oh, right.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13Em, I don't think it's anything to do with fish.
0:21:13 > 0:21:19- I won't go for the salad. I'll go for curd cheese.- Curd cheese.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Other Eggheads?- I'd say salad.
0:21:22 > 0:21:28- Salad leaf.- Is it? OK. I've not come across that. - Well, Denise, looking good.
0:21:28 > 0:21:35Early days, though. Squab is the term for meat from which creature?
0:21:37 > 0:21:41I knew reading all these cookery books would pay off one day. Pigeon.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46Pigeon is correct, yes. OK, well,
0:21:47 > 0:21:52one incorrect answer away. If Kevin doesn't get this, he's out.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57What is the typical strength of the alcoholic drink Marc de Bourgogne?
0:22:01 > 0:22:06Well, marc is a sort of brandy-like drink
0:22:06 > 0:22:10that is made from the leftovers after the wine-making process.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15Em...and I think it's supposed to be pretty strong,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18so I would just go for the strongest. 40%.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22And right to do so. Yes, you've got it. Never down for long, that man.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24You need to get this.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Don't give him another chance, Denise.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31He won't open his mouth again if you get this.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35What type of foodstuff is the Portuguese linguica?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Now this one I really don't have a clue.
0:22:42 > 0:22:48I'm thinking the fact it's Portuguese, I can't see it being an egg noodle.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52- So I'll go for pork sausage. - Pork sausage?
0:22:52 > 0:22:57Linguica. Faultless round. It's correct and you're in the final.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03Well, summarily despatched there, the World Quiz Champion.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Denise, Kevin, both please come back and join your teams.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12So this is what we've been playing towards. It's the final round on general knowledge.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15But those of you who lost
0:23:15 > 0:23:19won't be allowed to take part, so Andy and Mark
0:23:19 > 0:23:25and Kevin and CJ from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:23:25 > 0:23:30Andy, Jim and Denise, you're playing to win the Exmoor Muppets £6,000.
0:23:30 > 0:23:36Daphne, Chris and Barry, you're playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:36 > 0:23:42I'll ask each team three questions. They're all general knowledge and you can confer.
0:23:42 > 0:23:48Andy, Jim and Denise, are your three brains better than the Eggheads'?
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- Would you like to go first or second?- I think we'll go first.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59Right, first question to the Exmoor Muppets. Here you go.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04The detectives Piggy Malone and Charlie Farley were played by which comedy double act?
0:24:07 > 0:24:13I think we're of an age to have watched it. So I think we're quite agreed it's The Two Ronnies.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18A rather appropriate question given the job you do.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Know any detectives like that? Don't answer that!
0:24:22 > 0:24:25It is The Two Ronnies. Well done.
0:24:26 > 0:24:34Which famous figure appears on the Bank of England £20 note that ceased to be legal tender in June, 2010?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40That would be Edward Elgar.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Too late for that stash you've got under the floorboards.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46It's Elgar. Yes, correct.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48OK, back to the Muppets.
0:24:48 > 0:24:54Which traditional game uses 180 white stones, 181 black stones
0:24:54 > 0:24:59and a board marked with a grid of 19 vertical and 19 horizontal lines?
0:25:02 > 0:25:07- It's not backgammon.- It's not. - So it's one of the other two.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10A stab in the dark. Any idea?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12- No.- Middle for diddle?- No inkling?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15No, I'd go for the middle.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19The Eggheads say when in doubt, go for the middle,
0:25:19 > 0:25:24- so we'll go for the middle and Parcheesi.- OK, for a lot of stones.
0:25:24 > 0:25:30361 in total and 19 horizontal lines. It is not right. Barry?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33It's Go. And I once played for an England team
0:25:33 > 0:25:36in the 1974 European competition.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- Wow.- Very complex. Tell us about its origins.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44It started off as a Chinese game, reputedly invented by an emperor
0:25:44 > 0:25:47to allow his son to think logically.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52For many years it was in China. It came to Japan in the 7th century
0:25:52 > 0:25:55and they're the strongest players in the world.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Thank you very much for that, Barry,
0:25:59 > 0:26:03but we didn't get the right answer so Eggheads have a chance.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07What was the real surname of the author Nevil Shute?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13He was Nevil Shute Norway.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16It's the right answer, yes. Norway.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18So you need to get this.
0:26:18 > 0:26:26In Greek mythology, which god was the patron of thieves and merchants and the protector of travellers?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32It would be Hermes?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35He was a traveller, with wings.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- What do you think, Jim? - It's not my thing.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40It's not mine!
0:26:40 > 0:26:46I don't know about thieves. Go with your first thought.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51- We'll say Hermes.- OK, Hermes. Patron of thieves and merchants.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Why lump them together?
0:26:53 > 0:26:56It's the right answer, yes. Hermes.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Again, rather appropriate.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03- Patron of thieves and merchants? - When he was one day old,
0:27:03 > 0:27:10he stole Apollo's cattle and led them out backwards so no one would be able to trace him,
0:27:10 > 0:27:15but in Ancient Greece Hermes was the god that was used on milestone markers
0:27:15 > 0:27:21and all over the roads you would see little statues of him.
0:27:21 > 0:27:27You're a little mine of information today, Barry. First Go, now a man who teaches cows to walk backwards.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30How did he train them to do that?!
0:27:30 > 0:27:36OK, well done there, but the Eggheads win the game if they get this.
0:27:36 > 0:27:42The dilator naris muscle aids in opening which parts of the human body?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46All right?
0:27:46 > 0:27:50We think that is probably the nostrils.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54The dilator naris muscle aids in opening the nostrils.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56It is right. You've won.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06Well, bad luck, Exmoor Muppets. Just that question about Go there.
0:28:06 > 0:28:12Those Head to Heads went really well and could have been better.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Thank you very much for coming in to play the Eggheads today.
0:28:16 > 0:28:22Not to be on the day. Best of luck with working with no muppets in the future.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27You aren't amongst them! The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32You won't be going home with £6,000 and that means it rolls over.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:36 > 0:28:42Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers defeat them. £7,000 says they don't.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Until then, goodbye.
