0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably 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 a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:33attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. Their pedigree is well known.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37They've won some of the toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today are...
0:00:42 > 0:00:46This team of friends and family put their knowledge to the test
0:00:46 > 0:00:53at the Uplands Tavern in Swansea and say their team name represents what they go through every time.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Let's meet them.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58I'm Chan, 35, a graphic designer.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I'm Shaun, 27, and a bar manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi. I'm Josh, 26, and a pharmacist.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07I'm Leon, 25, a trainee teacher.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I'm Liam, 27, and an administrator.
0:01:10 > 0:01:16So, Chan and team, welcome. You quiz together and you play pool some of you together?
0:01:16 > 0:01:21- I play pool with Shaun.- Right. - And Shaun and Josh are cousins
0:01:21 > 0:01:25and the other two are just drunken buddies.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- But you do know each other?- Yes.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32And you had a bet with Shaun whoever lost at pool had to do what?
0:01:32 > 0:01:38We bet and the loser would name their first born after the other.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- So who lost?- Shaun lost. I beat him 15-nil.- 15-nil.
0:01:42 > 0:01:48- So have you got a child yet? - No, needless to say, I haven't bothered having children yet.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- But your son will be named Chan. - Indeed. Very fashionable name.
0:01:52 > 0:01:59If you want to come out with any similar wagers now, Eggheads, we can rename you all at the end.
0:01:59 > 0:02:05Good luck to you. Every day there is £1,000 in cash 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 > 0:02:14So the Eggheads have won the last nine games,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18which means £10,000 says you can't beat them. Would you like to try?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Indeed.- We'll have a go.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25The first Head to Head is on Film and TV.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27So you can choose someone
0:02:27 > 0:02:29to play someone from their side.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- I think it's got to be Josh. - Film buff.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38And I'd like to take on Judith, please.
0:02:38 > 0:02:45OK, so Josh against Judith. Please take your positions in the Question Room now.
0:02:46 > 0:02:53- Josh, where are you from originally? - I'm originally from Maerdy in the Rhondda valleys.
0:02:53 > 0:02:59- Is that an out of the way place? - It's quite high up. It's a small mining village.
0:02:59 > 0:03:07- But since the mine closed it's just like a nice little valleys village, I suppose.- Sure.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I know you've got a band. What state is that in?
0:03:10 > 0:03:16It's just me and Leon and another boy. We're at the moment trying to write our own stuff
0:03:16 > 0:03:20and just get ourselves out there, really. Early days yet.
0:03:20 > 0:03:27- The band is called...? - The Dirty Money.- OK, right. Good luck with the Dirty Money
0:03:27 > 0:03:33- and the clean money we're offering. - Thanks.- I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions in turn.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38Whoever answers the most correctly wins. Josh, first or second?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Oh, I think I'll go first, please.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Here we go. Best of luck to you.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49The TV series Ugly Betty is set in which US city?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56I'm not a big fan, to be honest, Jeremy,
0:03:56 > 0:04:03but seeing the subject matter with fashion and everything I'd probably go for New York.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07New York is bang on. Well done.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11If you don't know, you don't know, so it was a good guess.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Judith, in which 2010 film
0:04:15 > 0:04:20does Leonardo DiCaprio play a character called Don Cobb
0:04:20 > 0:04:23who is able to enter the dreams of others?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I think that is Inception.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Inception is correct. Have you seen it?- No.- Would you want to?
0:04:36 > 0:04:41- It's terribly long, isn't it? - I noticed that when I watched it.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Someone said they hadn't enjoyed it, so I thought I didn't want to.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48All right, Josh, your question.
0:04:48 > 0:04:56In which TV comedy series of the 1970s did Richard Beckinsale play a medical student called Alan?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Well, in Porridge he was Godber.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07And I think Going Straight was a continuation of Porridge,
0:05:07 > 0:05:11so by a process of elimination I'm hoping it's Rising Damp.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Spot on. It is Rising Damp. Well done.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Two points to you.
0:05:17 > 0:05:23Judith, which actor played radio DJ Chris Stevens in the TV series Northern Exposure
0:05:23 > 0:05:28and Carrie's boyfriend Aidan in Sex and the City?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I don't really know.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39But Matthew Fox, for some reason, stands out.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Maybe it's totally wrong, but that's the one that twangs something.
0:05:43 > 0:05:50- It twanged something?- Yep. - I don't know what it twanged, but it's wrong. It was John Corbett.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52So you've fallen behind.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Josh, get this and you're through.
0:05:54 > 0:06:01Al Pacino received Academy Award nominations for his work in Scent of a Woman
0:06:01 > 0:06:04and which other 1992 film?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Em... That would be...
0:06:16 > 0:06:20I'd have to say Glengarry Glen Ross.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25If you've got this right, you're through. Glengarry Glen Ross is correct.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- Well done. Very well played. - Thank you.- There we are.
0:06:29 > 0:06:35Taking on an Egghead and winning. Sorry, Judith. You'll be in the sin bin.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Do both please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:39 > 0:06:46A very good start for the challengers. Judith will not be in the final.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Let's see how we go next on Science.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Which of you would like it?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53We've lost the pharmacist!
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- I'll have to take that on?- Chan. - Who shall I take on?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Chan against which Egghead? Anyone but Judith.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07- I'll try CJ, please. - OK, Chan versus CJ,
0:07:07 > 0:07:13- looking, well, delightful. - And stripy.- Yes, looking stripy.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:07:18 > 0:07:24- Chan, you were brought up in Swansea?- Born and bred, yes. - Your family are from Hong Kong?- Yes.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Do you have multiple languages?
0:07:28 > 0:07:34I can speak two forms of Cantonese, which was my first language. And English was my second.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38OK. And how about this subject, science?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- I watch a lot of science programmes, so I hope I'm OK on it.- Good luck.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46I'll ask three questions in turn. Whoever answers the most, wins.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51- Chan, would you like the first set or the second?- I'll take the first.
0:07:54 > 0:08:00Good luck to you. In the Periodic Table, what is the symbol for gold?
0:08:04 > 0:08:09It's not W. I'm pretty certain it's Au.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Au is quite right. Well done.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14What's the logic there,
0:08:14 > 0:08:19- Eggheads?- It's from the Latin aurum. A-U-R-U-M.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Latin for gold.- Thank you.
0:08:21 > 0:08:28CJ, a rough approximation for pi is often given as 22 divided by which whole number?
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Well...
0:08:32 > 0:08:38In decimal, it's 3.14159265358979323.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Approximately. I think it's 22 over 7.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47It would have been so funny if you'd then given me the wrong answer! You're right.
0:08:47 > 0:08:523.1415 is as far as my calculator went at school. 7 is right.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Chan, back to you.
0:08:54 > 0:09:00Nullius in verba or "take nobody's word for it" is the motto of which scientific institution?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I'm not too sure about this one.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14NASA would be... I don't think that would be right.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18I'm going to have to take a guess, I think.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Nobel Foundation.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28Nobel Foundation is the wrong answer. It's the Royal Society.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31CJ, your chance to go ahead.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Where is the speculum of a bird, such as a mallard?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42I'm not sure.
0:09:44 > 0:09:50I always thought - I could be showing my absolute ignorance here, but I do most times -
0:09:50 > 0:09:56I always thought it was that little hard bit just above the beak
0:09:56 > 0:09:59that joins onto the head.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Em... I don't think it's on the wing.
0:10:03 > 0:10:09Unless it's a bony part under the tail, I'll go for above its beak.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Above its beak is your answer. Any challengers know?
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- No clue.- Eggheads?
0:10:16 > 0:10:21- I'd go for on each wing. - Why would you say on each wing?
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- Is it a bright-coloured patch? - Yeah, it's a patch on each wing.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29On each wing is the answer, CJ. Equal after two questions.
0:10:29 > 0:10:35Back to you, Chan. Found in the waters around Britain, what type of fish is a bull huss?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Judging by the name,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I'm going to have to guess at shark.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50- That's my answer.- It's a fantastic guess. You're right. Well done.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Why did you go to shark?
0:10:54 > 0:10:59- Because of the word bull. It sounds very...sharkish.- OK!
0:11:02 > 0:11:08Always good to get the explanation. CJ, which food additive was accidentally discovered
0:11:08 > 0:11:16by Constantin Fahlberg and Ira Remsen in 1879, but was then the cause of their falling out?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26The name Ira Remsen does ring a very vague bell.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32But I haven't got a clue, to be honest.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Well, I think I'm going to go for one of the sweeteners, but...
0:11:38 > 0:11:41When was aspartame?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I really don't know. I'll go for aspartame.
0:11:48 > 0:11:54The sweeteners is the right zone, but it's not. It's saccharin.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Oh.- So, Chan, well done.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58You've knocked out CJ.
0:11:58 > 0:12:04You will be in the final round. Both please come back and rejoin us here in the studio.
0:12:04 > 0:12:11Well, it's getting exciting here. The challengers have lost no brains and the Eggheads have lost two.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Let's see what happens next. It's Arts and Books.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Which of you wants this one?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Liam? - Yeah, I'll give it a go.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25OK. Me, please. And I'll go up against...
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Liam against which Egghead?- Barry.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Barry, OK. So Liam from Blood, Sweat and Beers against Barry.
0:12:32 > 0:12:38Just to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:12:38 > 0:12:44- Liam, tell us about you. - Er, I'm 27, I'm currently working as an administrator
0:12:44 > 0:12:49- for a housing association in Cardiff.- Are you in this band?
0:12:49 > 0:12:55- No, unfortunately, I wasn't blessed with any rhythm or musical talent. - It doesn't always matter!
0:12:55 > 0:12:59I'll be a bit of a Bez and dance at the side.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03And you've not agreed to name your first child after Chan?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06I wouldn't name anything after Chan.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11All right. Good luck in this round. Three questions, multiple choice, on Arts and Books.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16- And you can go first or second. - I'd like to go first, please.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Here we go, Liam.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25The saying, "There shall be no more cakes and ale," is from which play?
0:13:30 > 0:13:34I'm going to be honest. I have no idea.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38If I stroke my chin, it looks like I know, but I don't.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44I'm going to go with... The Crucible.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49The Arthur Miller play. It's the wrong answer. It's Twelfth Night.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Of course it is(!)
0:13:51 > 0:13:57Barry, the phrase "a three-pipe problem" is a quote from one of the more difficult cases
0:13:57 > 0:14:00of which fictional detective?
0:14:05 > 0:14:11Ah. He was very well played by Benedict Cumberbatch in the recent series on TV.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15- It was Sherlock Holmes. - That is the right answer.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18What did you think of the re-make with Benedict Cumberbatch?
0:14:18 > 0:14:23It was absolutely wonderful. It was very true to the original in spirit and action.
0:14:23 > 0:14:29They sent each other text messages the whole time. As a purist, I thought that might upset you.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33No, because they really kept within the spirit of the stories
0:14:33 > 0:14:39and they transposed a lot of the familiar things very well to the 21st century.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44- It's that amazing writer. Who's the writer who did Doctor Who? - Russell Davies.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- No, Moffat.- Oh, Steven Moffat. - Steven Moffat, incredible, yeah.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53You're one point ahead. Back to you, Liam. A chance to pull back against Barry.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58What nationality are the two people who figure in the painting The Ambassadors
0:14:58 > 0:15:00by Hans Holbein the Younger?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07OK, again, I'm not really sure.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11My brother said, if I don't know, just pick the third one,
0:15:11 > 0:15:15so I'll take his advice and I'll go with Russian.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Russian is your answer, OK.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Judith, you had a system like that?
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- Go down the middle, then swerve right?- No, go down the right.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26You would have said Russian?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Not in this particular case. - You know the answer?- French.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32French is the answer. Sorry, Liam.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Barry, if you get this one right, you're in the final.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41Whose painting entitled Long Grass With Butterflies was found to be hanging upside down
0:15:41 > 0:15:44in the National Gallery in the 1960s?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50This one has passed me by completely
0:15:50 > 0:15:54I know there was a Manet that was hanging upside down,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56but I thought that was Le Bateau,
0:15:56 > 0:16:00a painting of a boat being reflected on the water.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I'm not sure. Long Grass With Butterflies...
0:16:04 > 0:16:09It sounds like any of them could have truly painted that one.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Manet was, of course, very...
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I don't think... On reflection, I don't think it was Manet.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20I don't think that's really his style. Long Grass With Butterflies..
0:16:20 > 0:16:22I think I'm going to go for Van Gogh
0:16:22 > 0:16:26But I've no idea at all really. It's a pure guess.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28It's difficult to work out
0:16:28 > 0:16:32how Long Grass With Butterflies could be hung upside down,
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- but the answer is Van Gogh.- Oh. - You're right. Barry, well done.
0:16:36 > 0:16:43You're in the final round. Liam, sorry, you were beaten and you can't help your team in the final.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Do, both of you, please come back and rejoin us here.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Liam, bad luck.- I tried my best. - Tough round.
0:16:52 > 0:16:58And the Hans Holbein picture of the Ambassadors, the French Ambassadors, it's got a famous peculiarity.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03- Anyone know?- A skull.- Which is down in the corner or what?- No.
0:17:03 > 0:17:09- It's the perspective of it. - You're supposed to look at it from a side angle?- Yes.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- You go down to the left.- And it changes as you go round it.- Right.
0:17:13 > 0:17:20You've lost a bit of ground there, but you're still in the lead and you're doing well, so fight on.
0:17:20 > 0:17:26The Eggheads have lost two brains, the challengers one. Last subject is Politics. Who would like Politics?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28It can be Leon or Shaun.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33- Take your pick, guys.- Both have Politics degrees.- I hate Politics.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36It's going to be a bloodbath either way, isn't it?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Got a coin?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41A coin!
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- I don't know... - Leon, do you want to take it?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47I'll get pushed into it.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52- I thought you were hiding there, Leon.- I was trying to. The shirt is too bright!
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Leon against...? Who would you like?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Pat or Kevin. I know that's a bit frightening.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02What do you think? Pat?
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- Yeah.- OK, I'll take on Pat, please, Jeremy.
0:18:05 > 0:18:11OK, we have Leon from Blood, Sweat And Beers against Pat on Politics. Do go to the question rooms now.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Do you like your politics, Pat?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Yes, I read the papers, take an interest in it.
0:18:18 > 0:18:24Do you have to be on one side or the other to be interested or can you be objective?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28I can be objective and I like politics from all over the world.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32I don't have an interest in who wins the Japanese general election,
0:18:32 > 0:18:35but I still find it interesting.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Have you been looking at the Japanese general election?
0:18:38 > 0:18:44Yeah, I'm constantly up to date on anything that goes on in Japanese politics(!)
0:18:44 > 0:18:50- You did look worried. I thought you were going to pull your shirt over your head.- I was extremely tempted.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55- Horrified, Jeremy, really. - Good luck.- Thanks.- It can happen. You're still doing well.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00Leon, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:19:05 > 0:19:11Good luck. When Gordon Brown stepped down as leader of the Labour Party in 2010,
0:19:11 > 0:19:13who took over on a temporary basis?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19That's something I should know.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24I think it was Harriet Harman.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Spot-on.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Well done. Good start.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34In the parliamentary process known as "naming", what happens to an MP
0:19:34 > 0:19:38if he or she is named by the Speaker of the House of Commons?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I think they've been bad boys
0:19:47 > 0:19:51and have gone on and on when asked to desist by the Speaker.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55I think he names them and I think they're suspended from the House.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Suspended from the House is the right answer.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Liam, in US politics,
0:20:00 > 0:20:05what term is used to refer to a private meeting of members of a political party,
0:20:05 > 0:20:09for instance, in order to nominate candidates,
0:20:09 > 0:20:14choose convention delegates or select leaders for a legislature?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Oh...I'm not sure at all.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Um...
0:20:24 > 0:20:28I'm going to go and take Judith's logic here, I think,
0:20:28 > 0:20:32and I'll go with "think tank".
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- On the basis that you're swerving left there?- Swerving left.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41OK... I don't know how this legendary system of yours started,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43but none of us can work it out.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Caucus is the answer. I'm really sorry. It's caucus.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Your chance for the lead, Pat.
0:20:49 > 0:20:55When he was a schoolboy, which Liberal Democrat MP performed community service in Germany
0:20:55 > 0:20:59after burning part of a professor's cacti collection?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Well...
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I haven't heard of this cacti-related felony.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Of those three,
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Nick Clegg has either a Dutch or a German mother,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19so there's a slight German connectio there.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22But really... I have no idea really.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27I think I'll have to go with Nick Clegg because he can speak German
0:21:27 > 0:21:29and his mother is Dutch or German.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33You're quite right. It was Nick Clegg.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37It only came up when he was getting a lot of attention,
0:21:37 > 0:21:40becoming Deputy Prime Minister and the election and all that.
0:21:40 > 0:21:46People started, I think, looking back, as they do, and they found the cactus.
0:21:46 > 0:21:53So that means, Leon, that you've got to get this one right to stay in. Are you ready?
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- Yeah.- What is the name of the widowe of Benazir Bhutto
0:21:57 > 0:22:01who was elected President of Pakistan in 2008?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Right, I don't know again.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I thought Inzamam-ul-Haq was a cricketer.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16That shows how much I know, really.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18I'm going to go for Pervez Musharraf
0:22:19 > 0:22:23OK, Pervez Musharraf is the wrong answer.
0:22:23 > 0:22:29It is Asif Ali Zardari. And Inzamam-ul-Haq...is a cricketer.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34You were right about that. Pat, you've taken the round and you will be in the final.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Leon, you won't be. Please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:22:38 > 0:22:45This is what we've been playing towards - the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads can't take part,
0:22:49 > 0:22:56so Leon and Liam from Blood, Sweat And Beers and Judith and CJ from the Eggheads,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58please now leave the studio.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04Chan, Shaun and Josh, you are playing to win £10,000.
0:23:04 > 0:23:10Barry, Pat and Kevin, you are playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:10 > 0:23:17I will ask each team three questions in turn, all General Knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21- You've done well to keep it level. How are you feeling?- Scared.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Scared? OK.
0:23:23 > 0:23:30Chan, Shaun and Josh, the question is, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33And would you like to go first or second?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Shall we go first, guys? - Yeah, first, please.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40I wish you all the best. Good luck.
0:23:40 > 0:23:46What name is given to a valve in the carburettor of a car that reduces the air supply,
0:23:46 > 0:23:50giving a richer fuel-to-air mixture while the engine is still cold?
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- Choke.- Choke, isn't it? Are you happy with the choke?- Definitely.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- We all agree it's "choke". - You're right.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05Do they still have chokes on cars? I haven't seen one for ages.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- I don't think so. - They're all automatic.- Yes.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13Eggheads, which superhero is famously vulnerable to kryptonite?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- Superman.- Superman. - That is Superman.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25Superman is right. What happened when he was exposed to kryptonite?
0:24:25 > 0:24:30- He loses his powers.- Does that affect you, Kevin, as well?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- No-one's tried it. - LAUGHTER
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Your question, Blood, Sweat And Beers.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41The R&B and soul singer-songwriter Daniel Merriweather was born in which country?
0:24:43 > 0:24:47- I thought he was Canadian before it came up.- Go for it then.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- First instincts.- Go with Canada.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51I'm sure it's not Ireland.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- You rule out the other two for definite?- Go with Canada.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- Happy with Canada? On my head be it. - I'm happy with your decision.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02We're not 100%, but we think it's Canada.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Canada is your answer. Let's see if the Eggheads know this. Do you?
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- I'd have guessed Australia. - Why Australia?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13I don't know. Maybe something... I don't actually know.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16He's not from Ireland.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18No, he's Australian, I'm afraid.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22I'm sorry to say, so you may fall behind now.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Eggheads, in medieval English,
0:25:24 > 0:25:29which pair of letters was sometimes represented by a letter called thorn
0:25:29 > 0:25:31that looked like a modern letter Y?
0:25:34 > 0:25:39In medieval English, which pair of letters was sometimes represented
0:25:39 > 0:25:44by a letter called thorn that looked like a modern letter Y?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- It's just "th", isn't it? - I think it's "th".
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Hence "thorn", in a way.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53When you say "ye olde" so-and-so. it's really "the old"...
0:25:55 > 0:25:57So I think it's "th".
0:25:57 > 0:25:59That's my feeling.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04I knew "ae" was joined together, but I also think it's "th" as well.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- They also were.- OK?- Yeah.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11We think it's... It might be a clue there, "thorn", we think it's "th".
0:26:11 > 0:26:15You know sometimes you see "ye olde English..."?
0:26:15 > 0:26:18It's not actually pronounced "ye", it's "the".
0:26:18 > 0:26:21It's just the "y" is the "th" sound.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26Fascinating information, isn't it, and it's all true. "Th" is correct.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28So what does that mean, guys?
0:26:28 > 0:26:35Well, you've got the pool score now. You're avid pool players. You need to get this one in the pocket.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39An alembic is used in which process for making alcoholic beverages?
0:26:44 > 0:26:49An alembic is used in which process for making alcoholic beverages?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Blood, Sweat And Beers don't know!
0:26:53 > 0:26:56I don't know. Distilling?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59I thought distilling. I'm not entirely sure.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02I might have seen it in some programme.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Shall we go for distilling then?
0:27:04 > 0:27:08I thought winemaking, to be honest, but I don't know why.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10There's no logic behind it.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Alembic? Does that word have any historical meaning?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17It could be "ale" - "alembic". Brewing maybe.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- That's a good shout.- Yeah.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24Based on the fact it's "ale", A-L-E, we'll go for brewing.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28OK, if you get this one wrong, then the Eggheads have won
0:27:28 > 0:27:31and the £10,000 is snatched away.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33The answer is distilling.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37I'm very sorry, Blood, Sweat And Beers.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41That team name suggested this was your question.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Congratulations, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52You were surging at the start as well.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57- Yeah.- And then something went wrong.- Quickly knocked off our perch, I think.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59"Ale" threw us a little bit.
0:27:59 > 0:28:05Yeah, unlucky. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and their winning streak continues.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10You won't be going home with £10,000, so that money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:10 > 0:28:15Eggheads, congratulations. Who, I wonder, will ever beat you?
0:28:15 > 0:28:21Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24£11,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
