0:00:04 > 0:00:07'These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11'Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15'arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20'The question is, can they be beaten?'
0:00:23 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:28 > 0:00:31attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Their quiz pedigree is well-known as they've won some of the UK's
0:00:34 > 0:00:37toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41And challenging the awesome might of our quiz champions today
0:00:41 > 0:00:45are the Hyperactive Group. This line-up has been brought together
0:00:45 > 0:00:48by team captain Nicola and features her dad Roy, an ardent quizzer
0:00:48 > 0:00:51who tests his knowledge at local pub quizzes
0:00:51 > 0:00:54at least four times a week. Let's meet them.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Nicola, I'm 52
0:00:57 > 0:01:00and I'm a managing director of two software companies.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm John, I'm 42 and I'm a commercial director.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Peter, I'm 51 and I'm a data research manager.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Hello, I'm Deborah, I'm 38 years old
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and I'm enterprise manager for a university.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Hello, I'm Roy, I'm 76 years of age
0:01:16 > 0:01:19and I'm a retired managing director.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- Nicola and team, welcome. - Thank you very much, Jeremy.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Roughly what kind of business is it that you're in?- We're in IT.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28We have two web presences
0:01:28 > 0:01:31where we actually sell and deliver our products on the web,
0:01:31 > 0:01:36but we also offer software technologies, as well,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- that are delivered offline. - Right, OK.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41That sounds amazing and baffling. You're not part of it, Roy?
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- No, no, no, I'm past it. - THEY LAUGH
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- But you are the key quizzer here. - Not really.- Four times a week?
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- They're all good quizzers here. - Let's see how you get on.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, that rolls over to the next show.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04So, the Eggheads have won the last eight games,
0:02:04 > 0:02:08which means £9,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- Are you ready to try?- ALL: Yes. - You do look ready, I must say.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Challengers, who takes this?
0:02:18 > 0:02:24We've worked out our strategy and we have someone elected on geography.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- Dearest father?- Yes.- Right. My father is doing geography.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33And there was an election. Very organised. Against which Egghead?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- Daddy, do you want to take Judith? - Be gentle with me, Judith.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Well, vice versa.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- And he's a four-times-a week man. - I know!
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Roy from the Hyperactive Group versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions
0:02:54 > 0:02:58on geography in turn. Whoever gets the most questions right
0:02:58 > 0:03:01goes through to the final round. Roy, the first or second set?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Well, I think it's usual. I think I will go first, please.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Here we go. Good luck
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Baghdad is the capital of which country?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Well, due to the war,
0:03:18 > 0:03:22I do not think it's Syria or Israel,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25so I will say Iraq.
0:03:26 > 0:03:32Iraq is correct. Would've been embarrassing to get that wrong.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Judith, what is the official monetary unit of Canada?
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Well, I think that is probably the Canadian Dollar.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Canadian Dollar is correct. One-all. Back to you, Roy.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Your second multiple choice question. Here we go.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Terra Nova Bay on the coastline of Victoria Land
0:03:53 > 0:03:55is a feature of which continent?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Well, I've never heard of it before,
0:04:01 > 0:04:06but I will say I think it's Antarctica.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Is that a stab in the dark or something a bit more precise?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Er, bit of a stab in the dark.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Antarctica is correct. Well done.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20- THEY CLAP - Judith, your question.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23The international airport at Skopje
0:04:23 > 0:04:25is named after which historical figure?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I'm trying to think where Skopje is,
0:04:32 > 0:04:36but I don't think it's in Russia, which would be Peter the Great.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41Erm... It might be Alexander the Great on his way eastwards.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I have a feeling it's sort of... Skopje.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49Isn't it in one of the ex-Yugoslavian states?
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Why would it be Charlemagne? I think it's Alexander the Great.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Your answer is Alexander the Great. Eggheads, anyone know?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Yes.- Macedonia. - What was the logic here?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Alexander the Great was born in Pella, not that far from Skopje.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- And it's Macedonia, is it? - Yeah.- Well done, Judith.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- You got the point. - Hurray. Thank you.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Two each. Here we go, Roy. What is the name of the river
0:05:16 > 0:05:19on which the Somerset town of Taunton stands?
0:05:22 > 0:05:28Again, I do not know this, but I would say...
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I'm not going for Tone, I'm not going for Tun,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I think I will go for Tann.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39You're going for the River Tann, but I think your team has a reason
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- for knowing this. Nicola, you're looking excited.- Yes, I am.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- We think it's the River Tun. - How strange.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51It's not Tun, it's not Tann, sorry, Roy, it's Tone.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53The River Tone.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Judith, your third question. If you get this, you're in the final round.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Which European lake is colloquially known as the Swabian Sea.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Well, I know Lake Constance has...
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Swabia... All geography has deserted me.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I think Swabia is in Germany.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I think so. That's what I'm assuming.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23And I know that Lake Constance is a border of Germany,
0:06:23 > 0:06:26so I'm going to say Lake Constance.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Lake Constance is your answer.- Yes.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32It's correct. Well done, Judith. You've taken that round.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Sorry, Roy, you've been knocked out. - Thank you.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38That means Judith will be in the final and Roy, you won't.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:06:47 > 0:06:49the Eggheads have lost no brains so far.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51The next subject is Sport.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Is that all right for you? - Lovely.- Who wants it?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- That would be me. - It's the lovely John.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Can you choose an unsporting Egghead? So much choice.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- Do you think Chris?- Yeah.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I was going to hold you for me, Chris,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07but John has decided to pick you.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12OK, so the Hyperactive John against Chris from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Please take your positions in the question room.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20All right, three questions, then, and the subject is Sport.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Whoever gets the most right is in the final.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24John, do you want to go first or second?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I think I'll give the Egghead the honour, so I'll go second.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- Chris, first on sport. That's going to put you in a good mood.- Yeah.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Here we go. Your first question. In Formula 1,
0:07:37 > 0:07:41what term is often used to refer to the lap the cars make
0:07:41 > 0:07:43prior to the start of a race
0:07:43 > 0:07:46before they reform on the grid in their correct order?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Ah.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Well, it wouldn't be an outbrake lap, would it?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Either spelt that way or the other way. Erm...
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Why would it be an intermediate lap?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04At the end of it, they form up on the grid,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06so it's the formation lap.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Formation lap is right. One to you.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12John, according to the official rules of tennis,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15the centre of the net should be at what height?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I came across that question just recently
0:08:21 > 0:08:23and it's three feet.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Three feet is the right answer.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- One each. - THEY CLAP
0:08:30 > 0:08:33At the 2008 Paralympic Games,
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Oscar Pistorius won gold medals in the 100 metres,
0:08:37 > 0:08:41200 metres and 400 metres for which country?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Ah, he's the chap who lost his legs, isn't he?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51He runs with those sort of springy things. Erm...
0:08:51 > 0:08:54With a name like Oscar Pistorius,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57he should be South African, so I'll say South Africa.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00South Africa is the right answer.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Over to you, John. Your second question to keep up.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07How many times had Geoff Hurst played for England
0:09:07 > 0:09:11before the 1966 World Cup Final against West Germany?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Of course, he did so well in the World Cup,
0:09:17 > 0:09:22and I recall, I think he was fairly young at the time,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24so I'll plump for seven.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- You're right again. Well done.- Whey!
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Two points each! Let's see how you do on your third question, Chris.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36Which Rugby Union player who won 55 caps for Wales
0:09:36 > 0:09:39retired from the sport in 1981
0:09:39 > 0:09:42and continued his career as an orthopaedic surgeon?
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Well, I don't know, Jeremy, but I've never heard of Jeff Squire.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55I think JPR Williams retired before '81.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59So it's got to be Mervyn Davies.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Er, who's the right answer, Eggheads?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- ALL: JPR Williams.- It is, JPR!- Yeah!
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Yeah. I've got a vague memory of long sideburns.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- That was him?- Mm. In the 70s. - John, here we go.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Get this one right, you're in the final. They're willing you on!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20A very enthusiastic team behind you.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Carozza and Petite Etoile
0:10:23 > 0:10:28were the first two horses on which Lester Piggott won which classic?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Er, racing's not my strong point.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39I think this is going to be a, erm, pluck it from the dark.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Something's telling me to go the Derby,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45but something else is telling me St Leger.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47I think I'm going to...
0:10:47 > 0:10:51..steer away from the obvious choice and go St Leger.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55OK. You should've steered a bit further away, cos it was the Oaks.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- The Oaks is the answer.- Oh, right.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01So, after three questions each, the scores are level.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04We will now go to sudden death and to make it that bit harder,
0:11:04 > 0:11:08these questions are not multiple choice. Chris, here we go.
0:11:08 > 0:11:14A-Force is the nickname of which British boxer, born in 1971?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18I want to say Ainsley Harriott, but he's a chef. Erm...
0:11:18 > 0:11:21THEY LAUGH
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Oh.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27No, it just won't come, Jeremy. Sorry, pass.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Ainsley Harriott's got most of the letters. Audley Harrison.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35- Audley Harrison, that's who I was trying to think of.- We could tell.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38John, get this right, you're in the final. No multiple choice.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Which British athlete won a silver medal in the javelin
0:11:41 > 0:11:44at both the 1996 and 2000 Olympic games?
0:11:45 > 0:11:51Er, I'm... As soon as you said javelin, there was one person
0:11:51 > 0:11:54leapt to mind. I think I'd be willing
0:11:54 > 0:11:56to take a punt at this and say Steve Backley.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Is that your answer?- Yes. - That is correct.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04- You're in the final! - Whoo!- How about that?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07OK, so well done to you, John, you took on an Egghead and you won.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Please both of you come back here and rejoin us.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15As is stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18the Eggheads have also lost one brain, Chris.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20The next subject is Arts and Books.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Of the three remaining, who would like this?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Right...- Deborah, Peter or Nicola?
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- Peter, I think we'll give you Arts and Books.- Right.- OK?
0:12:30 > 0:12:36- And which Egghead?- Barry?- Barry. Barry?- Barry.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39I hear the word Barry coming through. Barry from the Eggheads
0:12:39 > 0:12:43against Peter from the Hyperactive Group. To ensure no conferring,
0:12:43 > 0:12:45please take your positions now.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Peter, do you want the first or second set of questions?
0:12:49 > 0:12:50I'll take the first set, please.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Here we go. In a theatre, Peter,
0:12:56 > 0:12:59what name is traditionally given to the highest seats in the auditorium
0:12:59 > 0:13:04that are generally the furthest away from the stage and the cheapest?
0:13:07 > 0:13:12Well, Jeremy, 25-years-plus ago, I was at college
0:13:12 > 0:13:15and in several amateur performances
0:13:15 > 0:13:17to do with Gilbert and Sullivan
0:13:17 > 0:13:20and that is certainly the Gods.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24It is the Gods, well done. Barry, your question.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Here we go, Barry. In the Harry Potter books,
0:13:26 > 0:13:30what relation are Vernon and Petunia Dursley to Harry Potter?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38They're his rather obnoxious uncle and aunt.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Uncle and aunt is spot on.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Your second question, Peter.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47What is the title of the controversial 1995 self-help book
0:13:47 > 0:13:50by Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider
0:13:50 > 0:13:56subtitled "Time-tested secrets for capturing the heart of Mr Right"?
0:13:59 > 0:14:03I haven't actually heard of the book nor the authors.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08I'm going to plump for, as a complete guess, The Game.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Your team are behind you on The Game.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15It's wrong, though. There was a book called The Game, I remember,
0:14:15 > 0:14:20and it was the same kind of territory, but this is The Rules.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Over to you, Barry. The cheap popular books
0:14:23 > 0:14:25that consisted of traditional stories and ballads,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28histories or moral and religious tales
0:14:28 > 0:14:32sold by peddlers in the 17th and 18th centuries were known as what?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37I don't know the derivation of the name,
0:14:37 > 0:14:40but I believe these were chapbooks.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Eggheads, is he right?- Yes.- Chapman was an old word for a peddler.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47So chapbooks it is. Well done, Barry, chapbooks is right.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Third question, Peter. If you get this wrong, you're not in the final.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Blindness and Seeing are the English titles of novels
0:14:55 > 0:14:58by which Nobel laureate author who died in 2010?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Again, I am shooting in the dark, I'm afraid.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Erm...
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I can't even recall it from the news.
0:15:13 > 0:15:19I'm going to take a rather wild punt...
0:15:21 > 0:15:23..at Octavio Paz.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Octavio Paz is the wrong answer.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Jose Saramago is correct.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- From which country?- Portugal. - He's Portuguese.- Portugal.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38So, Peter, I'm sorry, you're not in the final.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Barry has taken that round. Do please rejoin us here.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48So the challengers have now lost two brains from the final round.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52The Eggheads have lost one brain. The last subject is Music.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- Who would like this? - Deborah has very kindly volunteered
0:15:56 > 0:15:58to leave me free for the final round.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- To my shame and to my husband's shame.- I'm sorry.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03So, Deborah, who are we going to pick
0:16:03 > 0:16:06for you to pit your wits against?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Er, Kevin? Kevin.
0:16:09 > 0:16:15- Kevin.- Deborah...- Be gentle on her, she's six months pregnant.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Deborah from Hyperactive against Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room now.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27Kevin versus Deborah. Three questions, multiple choice.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29The subject is Music
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- and you can choose to go first or second.- I'll go first, please.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Here we go. Good luck. What item is mentioned
0:16:38 > 0:16:42in the first line of the Christmas carol known as Deck The Halls?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Erm, I do believe, and I'm trying not to sing it
0:16:52 > 0:16:54in case I offend people in the studio,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- but I do believe it's bows of holly. - That's correct.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01All right, your question, Kevin. Johnny Kidd and the Pirates
0:17:01 > 0:17:04had a UK number one single in 1960 with which song?
0:17:08 > 0:17:12They might have done the other two, but the song was Shakin' All Over.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14And you won't sing that, will you?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- No, strangely enough. - Shakin' All Over is right.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20So one apiece. Deborah, back to you.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25What was the title of the first UK number one single for Culture Club?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Ah, pop music is really not my forte at all.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38I recognise Do You Want To Hurt Me and I recognise Karma Chameleon.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I think it might be Karma Chameleon, but I'm not sure.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43But I'll got with Karma Chameleon.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47I'm embarrassed to say I know the answer. It's not Karma Chameleon.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50There was a very famous Top Of The Pops appearance
0:17:50 > 0:17:53where no-one could believe it was bloke.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Do You Really Want To Hurt Me, the song.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Kevin, over to you to take the lead if you can.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Won't Go Quietly was a UK hit single in 2010
0:18:04 > 0:18:10for the rapper Elliot John Gleave under what pseudonym?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I must admit, this is one that's completely passed me by.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19None of that means anything at all. So, erm...
0:18:19 > 0:18:24I think the most likely there seems...
0:18:24 > 0:18:29This isn't my final answer. The most likely seems to me Example.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35Why would anybody call themselves Paragraph? Well, mind you...
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Definition? It could be Definition, actually.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43But I have to stick with Example, because I don't have a clue. Example.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Example is your answer. I have to ask Chris, cos you hate rap so much,
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- there's a chance you might know it. - Er, I'll go with Kevin.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Paragraph, no.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Definition, too intelligent for a rap singer. It's got to be Example.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01- OK. Pat.- There is a bit of a clue. His initials.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- E...G.- Yeah.- Example.- Ah, example.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Example is the right answer.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12Well, Deborah, you nearly had the break of the green there,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15because he was struggling. As Kevin often does, he came back.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Third question. You've got to get it right.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20What term was often used to describe
0:19:20 > 0:19:23the mixing of rave, acid house and indie subcultures
0:19:23 > 0:19:26that coalesced in Manchester in the early 90s
0:19:26 > 0:19:31as typified by bands like the Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses?
0:19:36 > 0:19:40I'm terribly embarrassed now because I live and work in Manchester
0:19:40 > 0:19:43and can't answer this at all.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46And it should be of my era. Erm...
0:19:46 > 0:19:53Something is drawing me towards Baggy, and I think I'll go with it.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Well done, Baggy is right. Deborah, that's good.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01We were worried for a second there. Kevin, if you get this right
0:20:01 > 0:20:03you are in the final with three out of three.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Oberto Conte di San Bonifacio,
0:20:07 > 0:20:11premiered in 1839, is an opera by which composer?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Vivaldi was long dead by then.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Rossini had effectively...
0:20:22 > 0:20:251839. Oh, no, it's... It's Verdi.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28It's an early opera by Verdi, in his 20s.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30You did sound very certain at the end there.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- Yeah.- Do you think there's any hope here, team?- He's got it.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37He's good, isn't he? Kevin, Verdi is the right answer.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41You are through to the final. Deborah, you've been knocked out
0:20:41 > 0:20:45by a rather brilliant Egghead, it has to be said. Bad luck to you.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Both come back and rejoin us here.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53It's the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:55 > 0:20:58won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01So, Peter, Deborah and Roy from the Hyperactive Group,
0:21:01 > 0:21:06and Chris from the Eggheads, would you also please leave the studio?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- So, Nicola, this is the moment now. - It is, Jeremy.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- And you've saved yourself for this round.- I have, yes.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- I very much wanted to be in the final.- OK.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22Well, you're playing with John to win the Hyperactive Group £9,000.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin,
0:21:23 > 0:21:28you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30As usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34This time the questions are general knowledge and you can confer.
0:21:34 > 0:21:40Nicola and John, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- We shall try.- All the best to you.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- Do you want to go first or second? - I feel we'd be better going first.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- Is that all right?- That's fine by me. - We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:21:52 > 0:21:58Who played the title role in the 2003 film The Life Of David Gale?
0:22:04 > 0:22:10- I'm leaning towards Adam Sandler. - Er, are you? Are you?- It's not, er...
0:22:10 > 0:22:13It's not a strong conviction.
0:22:13 > 0:22:19Harvey Keitel, no. I think he tends to play more rough and tumble,
0:22:19 > 0:22:23you know, cops and robbers, detective-type roles.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26I'd have though it might have been more Kevin Spacey, actually.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Possibly. - With him doing the beautiful one,
0:22:29 > 0:22:33and the difficult American Beauty father.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38Yes. I just don't know this Adam Sandler, John.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Well, let's go for Kevin Spacey. I think you've convinced me.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Have I?- Yeah.- Oh.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Persuasive, I know. On my head be it, then.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Are you happy with that?- I think so.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51We're going to take Kevin Spacey, Jeremy.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55It's really interesting listening to you. Often somebody has
0:22:55 > 0:22:59the faintest glimmer and then everybody gets driven by that.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02And here you were wise to put that aside. It is Kevin Spacey.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- Well done!- Whey! THEY CLAP
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Well done! Very good committee work. Yeah.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Eggheads, your question.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15In the standard original London version of the board game Monopoly,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18how much does to cost to purchase the property Oxford Street?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- What is it, the green one, isn't it? - It is the green one.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31There's Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33The cheapest green is £300.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Is it 300, 300, 320 or something?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Where are they? They're on the right hand side, aren't they?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- At the bottom? Down the bottom?- Yes.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43So, next to Park Lane and Mayfair?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- The next most expensive? - The second best set.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50- The most expensive red is Trafalgar Square.- Red, yellow, green, purple.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- Yep.- I can't help. I can't help. I just don't know.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57I think Piccadilly is the last of the yellows, 260 or 280.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00And then I think we go over the corner.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- And then 300. So we think it's an ordinary green?- Yes.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- In which case I think we go for £300.- Fair enough.
0:24:07 > 0:24:14With some trepidation, and a lot of analysis, we're going for £300.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17£300. You spent a long time talking about which colour it was.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22Monopoly players will know you have to get the colour before the cost.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Well, no, you can visualise where it is on the board.- Right. OK.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29A fight broke out over what colour it was, and that's not the question.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- Do you know the answer, out of interest?- Yes.- Tell us.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- It is £300. - £300 is right, Eggheads, well done.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39There was some stray, false information
0:24:39 > 0:24:42which you must have wanted to carry the day, but it didn't.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46OK, your question. In medieval romance,
0:24:46 > 0:24:50which son of the knight Percival, or Parsifal,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53consented to marry Elsa of Brabant
0:24:53 > 0:24:57on condition that she did not ask who he was?
0:25:01 > 0:25:06Well, I thought Pyramus is when Pyramus spoke through to Thisbe
0:25:06 > 0:25:10through the... In Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Am I going round...
0:25:12 > 0:25:18- The only name that rings any bells is Tristan.- Tristan and Grisalde?
0:25:18 > 0:25:24- Chrisolde? Lohengrin doesn't sound... It sounds more Germanic.- Mm. Mm.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28No. John, any more deliberation?
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- I don't think it's going to make us change our minds.- I'm not so sure.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37Right, Jeremy, we are going to take Tristan as our final answer.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Tristan is your answer. Let's check with our Eggheads.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43ALL: It's Lohengrin.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48- We were going down the wrong ride.- Do you know what, you nearly got there.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51I just felt the next stage was going to take you there.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Bad luck. Eggheads,
0:25:53 > 0:25:57which building in Moscow was built at the end of the 19th century
0:25:57 > 0:26:00as the headquarters of an insurance company?
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- The Kremlin is older. - The Kremlin is much older.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11And Basil's is Ivan the Terrible, isn't it?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Yeah, it's got to be Lubyanka.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16We think that's the Lubyanka Prison.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21Lubyanka is the right answer. OK. This question is now important.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25You have to get it right. If you get it wrong I don't go back to them,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28because they will have won, which you don't want to happen.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32Here is your question, Hyperactive Group.
0:26:32 > 0:26:38The glands of Zeis, Z-E-I-S, are sebaceous glands
0:26:38 > 0:26:42whose task it is to lubricate what on the human body?
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- Erm...- I can't see there being any glands to lubricate a moustache.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57Mm. You don't think for the actual growing of the hair follicle?
0:26:57 > 0:27:01- But wouldn't that be any hair on the body?- Absolutely.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04The eyelashes, well, your eye gets lubricated, doesn't it?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Do your eyelashes get lubricated? I can't believe they get lubricated.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- Your eye gets lubricated. - In the tear duct, yes.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16If you think back to optometry, and anything from O-level biology,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20was it... Did it have much, when it was coming to do with eyelashes?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23I mean, is that another name for the tear ducts, which lubricate the eye?
0:27:23 > 0:27:28I can't remember the glands of Zeis being mentioned.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32I only did it up to O. I didn't take it any further.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I can kind of believe nostril hairs.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Nostril hairs. - Keeping nasal passages lubricated.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Right, we should have had those second set of questions,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43that's all I'm saying. I made a wrong decision.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48Right, Jeremy, we will plump for nostril hairs.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Nostril hairs is your answer.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53It's a fascinating question
0:27:53 > 0:27:57because it's not really obvious why any of those would need lubrication.
0:27:58 > 0:28:05The eyelashes do. The eyelashes have the glands of Zeis.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Anyone want to give us a gland of Zeis fact?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- Not really.- You see, it stumped them.
0:28:10 > 0:28:15- So we say congratulations to the Eggheads, you've won.- Well done!
0:28:20 > 0:28:22They've done what comes naturally to them
0:28:22 > 0:28:26and their winning streak continues. They reign supreme over quizland.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29It does mean the £9,000 doesn't go home with you.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32It will carry over to the next show. Well done, Eggheads.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Who will ever beat you? It's been great to meet you, guys.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39- Thanks for coming in.- It's been great to meet you all.- Good stuff.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:42 > 0:28:47to defeat the Eggheads. £10,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
