0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 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
0:00:27 > 0:00:31challengers attempt 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 country's
0:00:34 > 0:00:37toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42are the Millennium Marvels.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44This team know one another through their involvement
0:00:44 > 0:00:46in the Haymans Green Women's Group,
0:00:46 > 0:00:50based in the Millennium Centre in Liverpool. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:56Hello, my name is Jan. I'm 64 and I'm a retired company secretary.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Joan. I'm 67 and am a retired schoolteacher.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Edna, aged 83,
0:01:03 > 0:01:07and I'm a retired superintendent physiotherapist.
0:01:07 > 0:01:14Hello, I'm Audrey. I'm 78 and I'm a retired occupational health nurse.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19Hello, I'm Barbara. I'm 71 and I'm a retired travel agent.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- So, Jan and team, welcome. - Thank you.- Great to see you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- You quiz together, I gather. - We do, yes.- In a serious way?
0:01:25 > 0:01:32- No, purely...just for fun.- OK. And who's the key quizzer on the team?
0:01:32 > 0:01:36I don't know, I think we all are sort of equal. We are all equal quizzers.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Do you watch the programme? - Oh, we do indeed.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40You've got here the classic line-up.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43I know, it's really good. It's lovely.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45There's a bit of football involvement here, as well,
0:01:45 > 0:01:50isn't there? Your involvement with physiotherapy, tell me about that.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54At the end of the 1950s, all the 60s and into the 70s,
0:01:54 > 0:01:58the consultant I worked with was their team doctor,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Liverpool team doctor.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03So, I met all the players.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07And, of course, Bill Shankly. He actually lived by Audrey.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- And Bob Paisley was a lovely man as well.- The legends.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14They're all legends. Yes, I knew them all.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17So, we have to hope for a question in that area.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Good luck, anyway.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24If the challengers they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31So, Millennium Marvels, the Eggheads have won the last 11 games,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34which means £12,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- Oh, right.- I sense you're up for it.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42All right, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of science.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Who would like this?
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- You do science, I don't know it. - Do you think I should really?
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Who else is going to? - I think you're the best.- Go on.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56I think Audrey is going to bite the bullet, I think.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- I'll give it a whirl.- OK, Audrey, very good. Against which Egghead?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- I'll have CJ.- I was going to say CJ.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Do you struggle with science, CJ? I can't remember.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Well, the last time I played it, I had an utterly spectacular...loss.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Audrey from the Millennium Marvels against CJ from the Eggheads.
0:03:14 > 0:03:20Just to ensure there is no conferring, would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23All right, so let's see how we do.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Three multiple-choice questions on science.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Audrey, you get to choose the first or second set
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- of multiple-choice questions. - I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Best of luck to you, here we go.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Pupation is a stage in the development of what type of creatures?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- Pupilation? - P-U-P-A-T-I-O-N. Pupation.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Mammals.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- Is mammals your answer? - Yes.- It is insects.- Oh.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- As in pupae and all of that. - Oh, right.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04CJ, what is 30% of 300?
0:04:09 > 0:04:1330% of 100 is 30, so times three, you have 90.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16That would've been an easy one to get wrong, but you're right,
0:04:16 > 0:04:1890 is correct. 90 is correct.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Back to you, Audrey. Hang on in there.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22In the periodic table, the element
0:04:22 > 0:04:26with the atomic number one belongs to which group?
0:04:32 > 0:04:37I really don't know, but I'm going to go with the non-metals.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42Non-metals, is she right? Eggheads? You are right, Audrey, well done.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Hydrogen, is that it?- Yeah. - Hydrogen has the number one.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- Point to you, well done. - Thank you.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50CJ, let's see if you stumble.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Hoopes process is used to refine which element?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I haven't heard of this process.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Obviously, named after somebody, but I just haven't heard of it.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06OK, if it were iron, maybe I would've heard of it more.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12And the same for silver, possibly.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Aluminium does take a lot of refining from bauxite,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19so I will try, as a guess, aluminium.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Well done, aluminium is the correct answer, CJ.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25So, Audrey, you need to get this one right.
0:05:25 > 0:05:31Which French naturalist born in 1744 was particularly associated
0:05:31 > 0:05:33with the idea that the giraffe's neck was a result,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36over generations, of the animal reaching up for food?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Again, this is only a guess.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52It has nothing to do with being a state-registered nurse!
0:05:52 > 0:05:56So, I mean, it's just a guess, Jeremy.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01I'll just go for Jean-Baptiste Lamarck.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- OK, let's check with the Eggheads. Is she right?- Yes.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07You're right, actually, Audrey. Well done!
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Nice work! I hesitate to ask, was he right?
0:06:12 > 0:06:17- Was there any truth in that? - He's an early evolutionist.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20That's one of the later discredited early evolutionary theories.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- The quiet characteristics. - But it was discredited?- Yeah.
0:06:23 > 0:06:29Well, I mean, Darwin's theory of inheritance took over from a number of earlier theories.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34There were elements of which fed into the later evolutionary theories,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36but in terms of its basic thrust, no.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39So, CJ, this for the round.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42What term is used to refer to their rasp-like structure
0:06:42 > 0:06:47found in the mouths of molluscs and used for drawing in food?
0:06:53 > 0:06:57My knowledge of the anatomy of molluscs, isn't the standard it should be.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I've heard of the term radula.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I haven't heard of the term botula.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04I'm just trying to think of tuscular.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I mean, radula definitely is something.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Whether it's that or not, I don't know.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16I've got no idea, I've heard of the term radula, so let's go for that.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Radula, it starts with the letters R-A, as well.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22If that helps. Radula is correct.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Radula is right.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27So, you've taken that round.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29That means, CJ, that you will be in the final.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Sorry, Audrey, you won't, but you fought well there.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Both of you, please come back
0:07:33 > 0:07:36and rejoin your team mates here in the studio.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40So, as it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43The Eggheads have lost no brains so far.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Plenty of time to go, Millennium Marvels.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47The next subject for you is sport.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49It would be. Yes, I'll do it.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53With your Liverpool Football Club connections.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I got pushed into it because nobody else wanted it.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Which Egghead before you go?- Sorry, who am I going to pick for sport?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Judith.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Judith.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Judith.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08So, Edna from the Millennium Marvels versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the Question Rooms now.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Three questions, multiple-choice, as you know, Edna.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- You can choose the first or second set of questions. - I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Here we go, good luck.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25The Tote was originally created
0:08:25 > 0:08:28as a safe and legal way for people to bet on which sport?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Horse racing.- Let me do the options.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33There's no point now, is there?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Horse racing. - Horse racing is right, well done.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42With Aintree around the corner,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45you couldn't have got that wrong. OK, Judith,
0:08:45 > 0:08:49which team won the men's 2010 football World Cup?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Oh, Spain.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- Spain.- Yes.- Yeah. Otherwise known as the World Cup, yes.- Yes, I know.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- That's what was confusing. - Yeah.- The wording.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Over to you, Edna.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08What is the first field event of an Olympic heptathlon?
0:09:11 > 0:09:15I think I would go for long jump.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21Close, but not quite there, it is the high jump. High jump.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26So Judith has a chance to take the lead, although, she may not.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Over what distance did the cyclist Chris Boardman
0:09:30 > 0:09:35win an Individual Pursuit gold medal at the 1992 Olympic games?
0:09:39 > 0:09:44I don't know whether it's a long race or a shorter race. Um...
0:09:44 > 0:09:474,000 meters is about three miles, isn't it?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I don't know because I don't know the length of the race.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I'm going to try the magic right and go for 4,000 meters.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- 4,000 meters is correct.- Very well.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00This is Judith's special technique
0:10:00 > 0:10:04that she's perfected over about 900 episodes.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Go right.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07OK, Edna, you need this one.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11In a match against Bangladesh in March, 2010,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14which cricketer became the first English off-spinner
0:10:14 > 0:10:17since Jim Laker to take ten wickets in a test match?
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Well, I think it's between Pietersen or Swann.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I'll go for Swann.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Yes, please, Jeremy. - Your answer is Swann?- Swann.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35And you've caught up with Judith, well done.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38The answer is Graeme Swann. Good stuff.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41So, if you get this right, you've taken the round regardless, Judith.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Here we go. Walter Camp,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47born in 1859, was instrumental in creating which sport?
0:10:51 > 0:10:55I'm sure I've read this somewhere, so I'm going to have to go...
0:10:55 > 0:10:58But I can't remember, so it'll have to be instinct.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01I think it might be American football.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Is that your answer? Or are you halfway there?- My answer.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- It's your answer?- Yeah.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08It's the right answer, well done.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Judith, you've taken the round.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Eggheads, any more details on Mr Camp?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Other than being a founder of American football, no.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17He just thought it up or based it on something else?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21A lot of people contributed to American football's development.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24But he is considered as one of the founding fathers.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27He might have been involved with Harvard University.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32- And Harvard rules were one of the early versions.- OK.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Judith, you've taken the round. Edna, sorry, she's knocked you out.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37So, Judith will be in the final.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Do, both of you, please, come back and rejoin your team mates.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42OK, so where are we now?
0:11:42 > 0:11:47The challengers have lost two brains. It's looking a little more
0:11:47 > 0:11:49sticky for the Marvels, but you can still win.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- You're doughty fighters, right? - Definitely.- Absolutely. OK.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55The Eggheads have lost no brains so far.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Also, you've made Judith a happy lady because she's won on sports.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02It's worth it if only for that. Our next subject is geography.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- So, which of you would like this? - You?- It isn't me, is it?
0:12:05 > 0:12:10- Joan?- Do you want to do geography? - I certainly don't want to do history
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- and there's a chance of that coming up.- Yeah, OK.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- OK, I'll do geography.- Barbara, the travel agent on geography.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- That's the problem. - That's the idea of it.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Against anyone but Judith or CJ.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Chris knows all sorts of things about railways and things.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Yes, he does. What railways...?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- I'll have Chris.- OK.
0:12:29 > 0:12:34So... All right. You veered towards Chris on the left there. So, it's Barbara
0:12:34 > 0:12:37from the Millennium Marvels against Chris from the Eggheads.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40To ensure there's no conferring, please, take your positions.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43So, Barbara, I gather congratulations are in order,
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- but you'll probably be embarrassed. - Yes, I will be very embarrassed,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- but thank you very much. - You got an MBA for services to the community?- I did.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54And you tell us that's to do with founding the women's group?
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Partly, yes. 43 years ago we founded the women's group.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03But I started, really, when I was about 18 running the Cubs.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05And it's just gone on from there.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09I'm very involved with Sunfield Park Special School,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11which is also in the area,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14and helping a charity called
0:13:14 > 0:13:19the West Derby Wastelands Charity, which is a very ancient charity,
0:13:19 > 0:13:23which donates money to needy causes in the West Derby area.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27How, amidst all that, did you find time to be a travel agent as well?
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Well, yes, and I have three children and eight grandchildren, as well.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Well, that was part of it, really, because I just liked being
0:13:34 > 0:13:37in the middle of everything, bossing everyone around.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38So, it all fitted in.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I hope you can boss Chris around in the geography section here.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Good luck. Three questions, multiple-choice.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- You can choose the first or second set. - I'll go first, thanks, Jeremy.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Here we go. The town of Shrewsbury is situated on which river?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Well, it's certainly not the Mersey, is it?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02So, I will say...
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Now, then, caught me there. Um...
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I'll go for the Severn.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Very good, it is, you're right.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Chris, on to you.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18The African port of Dar es Salaam is located on which body of water?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26It used to be in Tanganyika, didn't it?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Which used to be German East Africa. It's Indian Ocean, Jeremy.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Indian Ocean... - That side of Africa.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35That's right, the Tanzania is it now? Over to you, Barbara.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39What is the approximate width of the Straight of Gibraltar
0:14:39 > 0:14:40at its narrowest point?
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Do you know, Jeremy, I was there last year?
0:14:50 > 0:14:54And I certainly should know this. How long were we on that boat?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Um... - SHE LAUGHS
0:14:57 > 0:15:03Eight doesn't seem wide enough, and yet 18 seems too much.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04I'll go for eight.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Lovely work, eight is correct, yeah.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12- Because it seemed narrow to you, did it?- Well, it did.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16It's somewhere I always wanted to go because of relatives during the War
0:15:16 > 0:15:18and so on, the involvement there.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20And I was very impressed with it.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- We weren't on that boat very long, so, eight miles.- Well done.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Point to you. Chris, over to you.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28In the United States, Big Bend National Park
0:15:28 > 0:15:32takes its name from the sharp turn made by which river?
0:15:36 > 0:15:37It's probably not the Rio Grande,
0:15:37 > 0:15:42because that's on the border between the US and Mexico.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I don't think there's a big bend on the Colorado.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47It's got to be on the Mississippi somewhere.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52- Mississippi.- Mississippi is your answer. I sense Daphne disagreeing.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- Daphne?- It's the Rio Grande. - Rio Grande is the answer.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Because it's down on the border, is it?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Yes, in Texas.- Texas. OK.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02So, you have a chance to take the round now
0:16:02 > 0:16:04and book your place in the final, Barbara.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08The tension is mounting here.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11What is the capital of the German state of Lower Saxony?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Right. Lower Saxony.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I think it is Munich.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Ladies, any answers from you?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- I'd go for Hanover. - I'd say Dusseldorf.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30OK, we've got a mixture. But it is Hanover, Edna, you're right.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Barbara, sorry.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37Chris, you now have a chance to draw even and we go to Sudden Death if you do.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Striding Edge is a feature of which English mountain
0:16:40 > 0:16:44located between the lakes of Thirlmere and Ullswater?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Well, Skiddaw is pretty far to the north.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Helvellyn is over Blea Moor way.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Wild Boar Fell and all that.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07It's not Skiddaw, it's not Helvellyn. Scafell Pike, Scafell.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10If you've got this wrong, you're out.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- I sense... Eggheads?- Helvellyn.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Helvellyn is the answer, Chris.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19So, Chris, I'm sorry, you're not in the final, you've been knocked out.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Well done to our Millennium Marvels here. You'll be in the final.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Come back and rejoin your team mates.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27So, things are turning out, well done.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29You timed it just right.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains
0:17:31 > 0:17:35from the final-round, but the Eggheads have now lost one brain.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38The last subject before the final is music.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Good one for you?
0:17:40 > 0:17:41It's got to be you, Jan.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- Well, I'm not good at music, are you?- It's got to be you.
0:17:45 > 0:17:51- Jan, you're being volunteered.- Yes, sort of.- Jan's been volunteered.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- Kevin or Daphne? - I'll try Daphne, please.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Jan from the Millennium Marvels against Daphne on music,
0:17:58 > 0:18:02from the Eggheads. Please, take your positions in the Question Room.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06It's music we're doing, three questions, and they're multiple-choice.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Jan, you can choose the first or second set. - I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Here we go, and good luck to you.
0:18:15 > 0:18:21Which singer released her debut album Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful in 2009?
0:18:29 > 0:18:33I don't think it's Amy McDonald.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I think she was before then.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I don't think it was Alexandra Burke.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45I'm going to go for Paloma Faith.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Paloma Faith is spot on. Well done, Jan. Brilliant.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Daphne, over to you.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Holding Back The Years and If You Don't Know Me By Now
0:18:53 > 0:18:57were UK number two singles in the 80s for which group?
0:19:01 > 0:19:06Well, I'm not sure, but I think it's Simply Red.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08It's a guess.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Your guesses are amazing, you haven't lost your touch. Simply Red is right.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15It's one of the most successful British bands of all time.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Their album Stars is one of the biggest selling ever.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22And yet, in the British charts, they only spent one week at number one.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27- With what?- Fairground.- Yeah. Hmmm, interesting. OK, back to you, Jan.
0:19:27 > 0:19:33- Yeah.- Which American singer married Vivian Liberto in 1954?
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Well, it certainly wasn't as Elvis Presley.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42I know Johnny Cash was married to June Carter.
0:19:43 > 0:19:49But I don't know if he was married to anybody else before then.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55I'm going to go for Jim Reeves, Jeremy, but I'm really not sure.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- And, your team mates, I think, know. Who was it?- Was it Jim Reeves?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Oh, you think it was Jim Reeves. No, it's Johnny Cash.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- Oh, Johnny Cash.- Johnny Cash.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07When did Jim Reeves die? Old Jim.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- 66.- So it could have been him, he was alive then.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- Oh, yeah.- But it was Johnny Cash. Sorry, Jan.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Over to you, Daphne.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17What is the title of the traditional song that begins
0:20:17 > 0:20:21"Oh, Mary, this London's a wonderful site, with people here working by day and by night?"
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Oh, it's not the White Cliffs of Dover.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36I think that it's the Mountains of Mourne.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38The Mountains of Mourne is correct.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40You've taken the lead, Daphne.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44So, you need to get this one right, Jan. Good luck.
0:20:44 > 0:20:50Which Gilbert and Sullivan operetta is subtitled The King of Barataria?
0:20:56 > 0:21:01I really have not got any idea at all.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03This will just have to be a guess.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I'll go for The Yeoman Of The Guard.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12And it's wrong, I'm afraid. It's The Gondoliers.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17- So, you got that one now. - You recognise that one? Yes.- Yeah.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Never mind.- That means Daphne has taken the round on music.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Sorry about that, Jan, you won't be in the final.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31It is time for the final round, which is general knowledge.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:34 > 0:21:36won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40So, Jan, Edna and Audrey from the Millennium Marvels
0:21:40 > 0:21:43and Chris from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:45 > 0:21:49So, Joan and Barbara, you are playing to win £12,000.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Judith, Kevin, CJ and Daphne,
0:21:51 > 0:21:55you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads reputation.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00The questions are all general knowledge.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Of course, you are allowed to confer. Joan and Barbara, the question is,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07are your two brains better than the Eggheads four?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Marvels, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- Go first.- Yes. - We'll go first, please.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Good luck to you both, here we go.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Who starred as Evelyn Salt in the 2010 film Salt?
0:22:28 > 0:22:33- I didn't see this film.- But I did. - Oh, good.- I've seen the film.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37I'm 99% sure I'm right, and I'd say it's Angelina Jolie.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39We think it's Angelina Jolie.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42And you've seen it, Barbara, have you? That does help.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46- It does help.- Angelina Jolie is the right answer. Well done.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51OK, Eggheads, who wrote a gardening column in Private Eye
0:22:51 > 0:22:54under the name Rose Blight?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- Germaine Greer.- Makes sense. - That was Germaine Greer.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Never knew that, but it was indeed, Germaine Greer.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Back to you, Marvels.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13In Norse mythology, the Valkyries were the handmaidens of which god?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Odin was the chief god and Thor was the god of war.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I've never heard of the other one.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25But they were pretty warlike, The Valkyries.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29The Ride Of The Valkyries. What do you think? I've never heard of the other one.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32No, I've never heard of the other one.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35What do you think? Should we go for it? Thor?
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Um...
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I don't know whether Thor would've had any maidens.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Well, he was the head man, wasn't he?
0:23:41 > 0:23:48Well, we're not absolutely sure, but we know Odin was the chief god.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49So we think it might be Odin.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52But we're not absolutely sure.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- OK, Odin is your answer? - Yes.- It's right.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Good.- Thank God for that. - The faces behind you are a picture.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01They're very relieved.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05All right, Eggheads, they're hot on your tails here.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08What was the first name of the father of Queen Victoria?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- Edward.- Edward. - He was Edward, wasn't he?- Edward.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19He was Edward.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Edward is the right answer.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25You never get those questions, those royal succession questions.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Lovely. At home, learning your lists all night long.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31OK, see if you can get three out of three.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34That puts them under pressure. If they get their question wrong,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36it's £12,000. You don't have to do any more work.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Here we go. Just get this one right.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44What is the surname of the title character of George du Maurier's novel Trilby?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51What is the surname of the title character of
0:24:51 > 0:24:54George du Maurier's novel Trilby?
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- I haven't read it, have you read it? - I saw a play many years ago.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- But, honestly, I don't know. - O'Connell...
0:25:01 > 0:25:03George du Maurier... I haven't read it.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- I just think it might be O'Ferrall. - O'Ferrall? You think?
0:25:06 > 0:25:10For no other reason than the other two are ordinary and that isn't.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Well, OK. Well, we'll say O'Ferrall, but we're not sure.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17That's a complete guess, is it? Or did you say you'd seen the play?
0:25:17 > 0:25:21It's just that the other two are a bit ordinary and that isn't,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23which would fit.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- Do remember anything about the character?- Very little.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30- Male, female?- Trilby was a man, wasn't he?- It was a woman.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Oh, well, there we are.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- But it was O'Ferrall. - Oh, there we are.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- You got it right, well done. - It doesn't matter what sex, does it?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40It doesn't matter, that wasn't part of the question.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44So, here we are, Eggheads. If you get this one wrong,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46they'll win £12,000. Eggheads,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48in August 2010, it was announced that
0:25:48 > 0:25:54the mechanical clock of which cathedral was to be fitted with an electric motor
0:25:54 > 0:25:57after being wound by hand every week for more than 600 years?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Before the options came up, I thought of Salisbury,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07but it could be completely erroneous.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09But I do vaguely remember the story.
0:26:09 > 0:26:15That's probably got the most famous medieval clock.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Well, Wells has got...
0:26:17 > 0:26:22Wells has got one as well, hasn't it?
0:26:22 > 0:26:26So that would take it... 600 years would take it back beyond 1410.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I think the oldest one is supposed to be at Salisbury,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34but that could be earlier, of course.
0:26:36 > 0:26:42Since we don't know it, I think...we probably...
0:26:42 > 0:26:45I mean, it could be completely erroneous,
0:26:45 > 0:26:49but when Jeremy asked the question, I immediately thought Salisbury.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- But Salisbury is the percentage one. - Yes.
0:26:52 > 0:26:58In the sense that it's the oldest and the most famous, I suppose.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59But I think the others...
0:26:59 > 0:27:02I'm not too sure about Ely, I've only been there once,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04but I just...
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Well, Wells has got one.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- Yes.- Well, they've all got one. - They've probably all got one, yeah.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- So...- No, we've got nothing else. - OK, I think we have to.- Yeah.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16In the absence of anything else.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20We don't know. So, on the basis that I think
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Salisbury has actually got the oldest medieval clock,
0:27:23 > 0:27:26which may not actually tie in with the question,
0:27:26 > 0:27:28but...
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Percentage guess, maybe we'll try...
0:27:30 > 0:27:33We think they've probably all got suitable clocks,
0:27:33 > 0:27:35but we'll try Salisbury.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- You don't sound very certain. - We're not certain at all.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39We haven't the faintest idea.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43If you've got it wrong, then the Marvels,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45the Millennium Marvels, walk away with £12,000.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47You don't have to do any more to get it.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50If they've got it right, we go to Sudden Death.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52The answer is Wells Cathedral.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Congratulations, Millenium Marvels, you've won!
0:27:58 > 0:28:02I don't believe it!
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Lovely. Well done. Look at this! You've got the celebration...
0:28:05 > 0:28:06It's like the terraces.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Terraces of Liverpool. Well done. Well done.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11And the Blues, as well, remember.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13And the Blues, as well.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18Everton and Liverpool combined. Well done, we're so pleased for you. That's great.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Chris, did you know this?
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Yeah, I did. The hindrance and sabotage executive ruled
0:28:23 > 0:28:26it was too dangerous for the verger to climb up and wind it,
0:28:26 > 0:28:28so they had to put an electric motor on it.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31So, you are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34You've proved they can be beaten.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:37 > 0:28:40will be just as successful. Until then, goodbye.
