0:00:03 > 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.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:22 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:27 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33Their quiz pedigree is well known as they have won

0:00:33 > 0:00:36the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39Taking on our quiz champions today are Fiddlers' Five.

0:00:39 > 0:00:43This team of friends and family have a shared connection

0:00:43 > 0:00:45through their local pub, the Fiddlers' bar in Glasgow,

0:00:45 > 0:00:48where team captain Michelle works and the others quiz.

0:00:48 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, my name's Michelle. I'm 36 and I'm a customer service advisor.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm David, I'm 48 and I'm a police officer.

0:00:56 > 0:01:01Hello, my name is Stephen. I'm 54 and I am a production worker.

0:01:01 > 0:01:02Hello. My name is Gemma.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05I'm 30 years old and I'm an electronic engineer.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Jo. I'm 42 and I'm self-employed.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Michelle and team, welcome to you.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14A fantastic spread of professions that you have.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Tell us about the quiz in the pub.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20We do various quizzes. We've done some over Christmas and new year.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23We tend to do them whenever we can.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26We raise money for charity through them.

0:01:26 > 0:01:31Terrific. Good luck here. Take them on and beat them soundly.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash

0:01:33 > 0:01:36up for grabs for our challengers, but if they don't beat the Eggheads,

0:01:36 > 0:01:39the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42Fiddlers' Five, the Eggheads won just the last game.

0:01:42 > 0:01:47That means £2,000 says you can't beat them today.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49The first head-to-head battle is on History.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Where's the historian here?

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Who did we choose for History?

0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Gemma. Do you fancy it? - I'm going to have to.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01It's not going any other way, is it?

0:02:01 > 0:02:05- It's not Science which I was after. - Go for it, Gemma.- OK.

0:02:05 > 0:02:10OK, before you go, pick an Egghead. Any one of them to take you on.

0:02:10 > 0:02:11It's got to be Daphne.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14I can't come to Eggheads and not play against Daphne.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16OK, our own Miss Marple.

0:02:16 > 0:02:20So, Gemma of Fiddlers' Five against Daphne of the Eggheads

0:02:20 > 0:02:22and to ensure there is no conferring,

0:02:22 > 0:02:26would you please take your positions in the Question Room?

0:02:26 > 0:02:31- So, Gemma, you're an electronics engineer?- That's right, Jeremy.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Does that mean computers or lots of stuff?

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Lots of stuff.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39I mainly specialised in firmware which is

0:02:39 > 0:02:43- the reprogrammable stuff inside microchips.- Firmware.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Is that stuff you can touch?

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Absolutely not, no. That's programming microchips.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52OK, you've left me behind within two sentences.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55- You're going to move to Silicone Valley?- That's the plan.

0:02:55 > 0:02:56That's the plan.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59I think the best place for an electronics engineer to go.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03I'll ask each of you three multiple questions on History in turn.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Whoever answers the most is the winner. Gemma, do you want to go first or second?

0:03:07 > 0:03:08I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.

0:03:11 > 0:03:16A piece of armour known as a gorget was worn to protect

0:03:16 > 0:03:18which part of the body?

0:03:21 > 0:03:27- Gorget.- A piece of armour known as a gorget, spelt G-O-R-G-E-T

0:03:27 > 0:03:29was worn to protect which part of the body?

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Right, throat, ankle, shoulder.

0:03:32 > 0:03:38Gorge, gorget. There's nothing jumping out at me.

0:03:38 > 0:03:42Ankle and shoulder.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45I'm thinking if it was ankle or shoulder,

0:03:45 > 0:03:51it might be slightly more familiar to me and it's not, so

0:03:51 > 0:03:56on that crude deduction, I'm going to go for throat, please, Jeremy.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58It's a crude, but brilliant deduction because you're right.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Yes!

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Any help with the logic there, Eggheads?

0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Gorge.- As in gorging on food?

0:04:06 > 0:04:10No, gorge as in French for throat.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Daphne, what relation was Queen Victoria

0:04:13 > 0:04:14to her predecessor William IV?

0:04:18 > 0:04:21She was his niece.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25She was indeed his niece. Well done. Back to you, Gemma.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Which king of England was the son of Matilda and Geoffrey Plantagenet,

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Count of Anjou?

0:04:35 > 0:04:42I think he was the first Plantagenet and it was Henry II

0:04:42 > 0:04:44who was the daughter of Matilda who had been

0:04:44 > 0:04:49fighting in the anarchy with her cousin Stephen of Blois.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53I think. Henry II. In fact, I'm confident, Henry II.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57I wish I could give you more than one point for that. Henry II it is.

0:04:57 > 0:04:58Well done.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01- I've no idea. - You're secretly an Egghead.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03OK, Daphne,

0:05:03 > 0:05:06Sophie Duchess of Hohenberg was assassinated

0:05:06 > 0:05:10alongside which historical figure to whom she was married?

0:05:16 > 0:05:24Oh, yes, it must have been Franz Ferdinand at Sarajevo.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27Franz Ferdinand is the right answer.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30Poor old Sophie doesn't get a mention, does she,

0:05:30 > 0:05:32in the history books? OK, Gemma, third one.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35See if you can keep the pressure on our Daphne.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38Who was the third and final husband of the Italian noblewoman

0:05:38 > 0:05:40Lucrezia Borgia?

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Well, the name means absolutely nothing to me

0:05:52 > 0:05:55so it's going to have to be a guess again.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59What way I'm going to guess this time...

0:05:59 > 0:06:05I'm going to go for the first one, Giovanni Sforza. It's a good name.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Sadly, it is incorrect. Can any Eggheads tell us this?

0:06:08 > 0:06:12- Alfonso d'Este. - Yes, how do you know that?

0:06:12 > 0:06:15- You don't have to know it. - I think...

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Was he one of the husbands that she poisoned?

0:06:17 > 0:06:20What was the poisoning story? Did she poison all of them?

0:06:20 > 0:06:22No, I think she's had a very bad press.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26I see. So her reputation has been mangled?

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Yes, it was other people and not her at all.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31The answer is Alfonso d'Este.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34He may or may not have been a victim

0:06:34 > 0:06:36of naughty Borgia.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Daphne, you take the round if you get this right.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41The word martinet for a strict disciplinarian is

0:06:41 > 0:06:45derived from an officer in the army of which French leader?

0:06:52 > 0:06:57Oh, I knew he was a Frenchman. It's not Charles de Gaulle.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Louis XIV.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08- You don't think so, Eggheads? - Is it Napoleon?

0:07:08 > 0:07:13Barry and Chris are certain it's Napoleon, but Daphne, you are right.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15- Oh, thank you. - It is actually Louis XIV

0:07:15 > 0:07:19that the word martinet comes from, his army anyway. Gemma, sorry,

0:07:19 > 0:07:23you've been knocked out and you played very strongly.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Beaten by our Egghead and so not in the final.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Would you please rejoin your teams?

0:07:29 > 0:07:32As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34The Eggheads have lost no brains.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37We play on and our next subject is Music.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40Who would like Music?

0:07:40 > 0:07:45- I'll go for it.- Yeah. - I'll take it, Jeremy, please.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48- David, against which Egghead? - Judith, please.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52So it's David from Fiddlers' Five against Judith from the Eggheads.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55To ensure no conferring, please take your positions.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00- So, David, you've had a varied career?- I have, yes.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03A police officer for 23 years, all of it in Glasgow, but I'm now working

0:08:03 > 0:08:08in the city centre, which has its own challenges, but a very nice city.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10Before that, a shipyard worker.

0:08:10 > 0:08:15I was. I worked in the Yarrow shipyard which builds naval warships.

0:08:15 > 0:08:16Gosh! How incredible.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20So is the job that you did back then still in existence?

0:08:20 > 0:08:24Yes, a steelworker building the actual frame of the ship is still

0:08:24 > 0:08:25very much on the go.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29OK, I'll ask you three questions, multiple choice, on Music,

0:08:29 > 0:08:31and you can choose to have the first or second set.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33I think I'll go first, please, Jeremy.

0:08:36 > 0:08:37Here we go. Good luck.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41Elton John had a UK No 1 single in 1990 with a double A-side

0:08:41 > 0:08:44of Sacrifice and which other song?

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Right, um...

0:08:51 > 0:08:55I've only heard of two of these - Passengers and Healing Hands.

0:08:57 > 0:09:02I would go by the year of 1990, I'll go for Passengers.

0:09:03 > 0:09:08It's a tough question. It's not, it's Healing Hands.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Wow! I can't even...

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Can you hum that or remember it or anything?

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Judith, you know Elton John, what does that sound like?

0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Absolutely no idea.- No idea at all? - No. And I couldn't sing it anyhow.

0:09:19 > 0:09:24- OK. Shall we move on? - Oh, let's.

0:09:24 > 0:09:28'In lama land there's a one-man band and he'll toot his flute for you'

0:09:28 > 0:09:33is a line from which song by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen?

0:09:38 > 0:09:42I think it might be Come Fly With Me.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45That's the right answer. Well done.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49Over to you, David. The highest string on a standard violin

0:09:49 > 0:09:51is normally tuned to what note?

0:09:55 > 0:10:00Right. A complete guess with this one, Jeremy,

0:10:00 > 0:10:02I would go for...

0:10:02 > 0:10:03G.

0:10:03 > 0:10:08- G is your answer. It is actually E.- OK.

0:10:08 > 0:10:12- OK, Judith. Did you play the violin, Judith?- For about five minutes.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16- And it was so long ago I can't remember.- Here's your question.

0:10:16 > 0:10:21In 2005, Madonna had a UK No 1 single with Hung Up,

0:10:21 > 0:10:25which sampled the instrumental riff from which Abba song?

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Well, this will be a guess. Um...

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Gimme, Gimme, Gimme.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41Gimme, Gimme, Gimme is the right answer. With two points to nil,

0:10:41 > 0:10:45there's no way back for you, David. That means Judith is in the final.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your team mates.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53So the challengers have now lost two brains from the final round,

0:10:53 > 0:10:55the Eggheads have lost no brains.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58The next subject is Arts & Books.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01I was thinking of staying till the end

0:11:01 > 0:11:04but I'll give it a try if you want.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08- Just go for it. - I think you should just go for it.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12- OK, yep, I'll try this one.- OK, good stuff. Against which Egghead?

0:11:12 > 0:11:16- Er...- Can't be Judith or Daphne. Got to be a bloke.

0:11:16 > 0:11:17Chris.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19- OK. - HE LAUGHS

0:11:19 > 0:11:24OK, so Stephen from Fiddlers' Five against Chris from the Eggheads.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26So there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Stephen, you make whiskey, I understand?- Yeah.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34- And you're involved in sampling it? - Well, we can buy it.

0:11:34 > 0:11:39There's a shop in the place where I work. You can buy at a cheaper price.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43- And have you been sampling it before the show?- No, unfortunately not.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Did you bring any for Chris?

0:11:45 > 0:11:49- No, but I'll probably drop some off for him.- If you win you can.- Yeah.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Good luck in this round.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Arts & Books, three questions, multiple choice,

0:11:54 > 0:11:56and you can decide to go first or second.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59I think I'll take the plunge and go first, please.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05Here we go. To get some more of your players in the final.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08First question, which creature is mentioned in the first verse

0:12:08 > 0:12:13of the popular poem attributed to Clement C Moore that starts,

0:12:13 > 0:12:15"'Twas the night before Christmas"?

0:12:19 > 0:12:24Hm. I don't really know that poem so well, that story.

0:12:25 > 0:12:29Partridge is a Christmas type of bird, I suppose, but...

0:12:29 > 0:12:33I really think I'm going to go for mouse.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37- I think Gemma is happy with that. - Yes!

0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Yeah, mouse it is. Well done.- Yay!

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Chris, your question.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46In which year was Dan Brown's novel Angels And Demons first published?

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Well, 1990's too early.

0:12:52 > 0:12:57And I don't think in 2000 he'd got the Da Vinci Code out,

0:12:57 > 0:12:59let alone Angels And Demons.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01So it's got to be 2010.

0:13:02 > 0:13:03It's not.

0:13:03 > 0:13:052010 is wrong. It's 2000.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07OK. Stephen, your question.

0:13:07 > 0:13:11The villainous moneylender Daniel Quilp is a character in which

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Charles Dickens novel?

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Fortunately, this is one of my favourite authors

0:13:20 > 0:13:22and I've read this book.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24It's The Old Curiosity Shop.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26Nice one. The Old Curiosity Shop it is.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31Good. Well, you are now ahead of the Egghead and, Chris,

0:13:31 > 0:13:34if you don't get this right, you're not in the final round

0:13:34 > 0:13:38and it's looking a little bit better for our Fiddlers.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42The Menaced Assassin is a 1920s work by which painter?

0:13:48 > 0:13:50Sounds a bit doom-laden.

0:13:52 > 0:13:57Don't think it's Rene Magritte, who was a Belgian surrealist.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00He had men with apples for heads

0:14:00 > 0:14:03and locomotives appearing out of fireplaces and that sort of thing.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10I think it's a bit early for Dali. Is it Picasso or is it Dali?

0:14:12 > 0:14:15Picasso did his own thing, Dali was weird,

0:14:15 > 0:14:17so we'll go with Salvador Dali.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19I thought you were heading there. Barry, you know.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22- I think it's Rene Magritte.- It is Rene Magritte.- Is it?

0:14:22 > 0:14:24So, Chris, you're not in the final.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26Well done, Stephen.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29The corner's been turned here on the challengers' team.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Stephen, you'll be in the final. Well done.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34Do come back and rejoin your team-mates.

0:14:34 > 0:14:39As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains from the final round

0:14:39 > 0:14:41whilst the Eggheads have lost one brain.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44The last subject, before our final, is Sport.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Do you have a plan on Sport?

0:14:46 > 0:14:49Do you want me to do it, and keep you to the end, Jo?

0:14:49 > 0:14:51If you want, I don't mind.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54We feel confident you'll win this.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56I'll guess my way through it! I'll take this one.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Michelle against... Who do you want to play?

0:15:01 > 0:15:02It's got to be Barry or Pat.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05Erm, I think Barry.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09OK, Michelle from Fiddlers' Five against Barry from the Eggheads,

0:15:09 > 0:15:13and just to make sure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Rooms now.

0:15:13 > 0:15:18So, Michelle, was there a bit of a sport crisis there for a second on your team?

0:15:18 > 0:15:21There was, yes. This isn't the subject I'd have chosen.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24Had you a player who would've done Sport, but had competed already?

0:15:24 > 0:15:27- David... Definitely, David. - I sensed that.

0:15:27 > 0:15:31- Barry, how are you on your Sport? - Getting better.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33I'm watching a lot more now than I used to do.

0:15:33 > 0:15:38- Was football your weak point, I can't remember? - Er, I was never strong on football.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40- OK.- Let's put it that way.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Let's see how you do. I'll ask each of you three questions on Sport.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45Michelle, you can choose to go first or second.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47I'll go first, please, Jeremy.

0:15:50 > 0:15:55Here we go, good luck. In which city was the cyclist Chris Hoy born in 1976?

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Er, well, I knew he was Scottish.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04I think he was born in Edinburgh.

0:16:05 > 0:16:09Edinburgh is the right answer, Michelle, well done.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13In August 2010, which footballer scored a hat-trick

0:16:13 > 0:16:17to take Tottenham into the group stages of the Champions League?

0:16:20 > 0:16:23I watched this match and I think it was Jermain Defoe.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Were you wearing your glasses when you watched it?

0:16:26 > 0:16:28- That means it wasn't. - It was Peter Crouch.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Jermain Defoe's the wrong answer.

0:16:30 > 0:16:34Michelle, the tennis player, Betty Stove,

0:16:34 > 0:16:39who was beaten by Virginia Wade in the 1977 Wimbledon Ladies' Singles final

0:16:39 > 0:16:41was born in which country?

0:16:47 > 0:16:50Erm, this one will be a guess.

0:16:50 > 0:16:51Betty Stove...

0:16:53 > 0:16:54I think I'm going for...

0:16:57 > 0:16:59..Netherlands.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02- What made you choose Netherlands? - I don't know...

0:17:02 > 0:17:05I think her surname sounds from the Netherlands.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07- She sounds a bit Dutch?- Yeah.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11She has got an umlaut on the "O", I don't know if that helps.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13You're right, Michelle, it's the Netherlands.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16Barry...

0:17:16 > 0:17:18After all we said about Sport.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20If you get this one wrong, you're not in the final round.

0:17:20 > 0:17:24Which snooker player won four consecutive World Championships

0:17:24 > 0:17:26between 1973 and 1976?

0:17:32 > 0:17:34It certainly wasn't Eddie Charlton

0:17:34 > 0:17:37because he never won a snooker championship at all.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40I think Cliff Thornburn only won once.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42My answer must be Ray Reardon.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Ray Reardon is the right answer.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47OK, Michelle, keep the advantage now.

0:17:47 > 0:17:51The rugby union player Harry Ellis, who was forced to retire in 2010, through injury,

0:17:51 > 0:17:54played in which position for Leicester and England?

0:17:58 > 0:18:00Again, it's going to be a guess.

0:18:00 > 0:18:05Erm, but I think I'll go for fullback.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Fullback is wrong, I'm afraid, it's scrum-half.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11You have two points, Barry has one.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14If you get this right, Barry, we go to Sudden Death.

0:18:14 > 0:18:18Bing Crosby was a part-owner of which Major League Baseball team?

0:18:24 > 0:18:26That's an interesting question.

0:18:26 > 0:18:31The sport you'd normally associate with Bing Crosby is golf.

0:18:31 > 0:18:32So, which one of these would it be?

0:18:35 > 0:18:37I know he spent a lot of his time in California

0:18:37 > 0:18:40which would tend to suggest the Los Angeles Dodgers

0:18:40 > 0:18:43but for some reason, I'm not sure that's right.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46I'm going for the St Louis Cardinals.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49I always get confused by the Louis and the Lewis

0:18:49 > 0:18:52because it's Louis Armstrong but it's St Louis Missouri.

0:18:52 > 0:18:56I guess we say the "St Lewis Cardinals" but it doesn't matter,

0:18:56 > 0:18:59- it's wrong. Pittsburgh Pirates is the right answer.- Ah!

0:18:59 > 0:19:01So, Michelle, well done.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04Your team's turning the corner and you're in the final round.

0:19:04 > 0:19:10Barry, you're knocked out. The Eggheads are depleted now. Do both of you rejoin us for the final.

0:19:10 > 0:19:14This is what we've been playing towards. It is time for the final round

0:19:14 > 0:19:16which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18Those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:19:18 > 0:19:20won't take part in this round.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23So, David and Gemma from the Fiddlers' Five

0:19:23 > 0:19:28and Chris and Barry from the Eggheads would you please leave the studio.

0:19:28 > 0:19:33Michelle, Stephen and Jo, you are playing to win £2,000.

0:19:33 > 0:19:38Daphne, Pat and Judith, you are playing for the Eggheads' reputation.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:19:41 > 0:19:45This time the questions are all General Knowledge. You are allowed to confer.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48So, Michelle, Stephen and Jo, the big question is...

0:19:48 > 0:19:52Are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?

0:19:52 > 0:19:54- You don't have to answer that. - LAUGHTER

0:19:54 > 0:19:58No points in that question. Fiddlers' Five, do you want to go first or second?

0:19:58 > 0:20:02- Shall we go first as everybody else has done that?- Yeah. - We'll go first, thanks.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08All the very best, here we go.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Sasquatch is another name for which mythical creature?

0:20:16 > 0:20:19- It's obviously...- Big Foot?

0:20:19 > 0:20:21The Yeti.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24OK, then. We'll go for Big Foot.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27Big Foot is right, well done.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29Over to you, Eggheads.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33What term is used to refer to an uncastrated male horse?

0:20:38 > 0:20:43- An uncastrated...- A gelding's been gelded.- Yes.- A stallion.

0:20:43 > 0:20:48- Stallion.- A steer is a cow.- Yes. - A stallion is an intact horse.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50- A gelding is a castrated horse.- Yes.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Can I have the question again.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55What term is used to refer to an uncastrated male horse.

0:20:55 > 0:21:00- That's a stallion.- Stallion is your answer... It's correct. Well done.

0:21:00 > 0:21:01Over to you.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05Fruhling is the German word for which season?

0:21:09 > 0:21:11- Fruhling...- Can you spell it?

0:21:11 > 0:21:15F-R-U-H-L-I-N-G. Fruhling.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20It doesn't even put my mind to any

0:21:20 > 0:21:22- word that I could think of, you know.- No.

0:21:22 > 0:21:26- Sounds like...- Frau...

0:21:26 > 0:21:28- Is it possibly spring?- Yeah.

0:21:30 > 0:21:35I know it might be bizarre, frauling, is that not a "miss".

0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Frau is a woman.- Ah-ha.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40- We'll go for spring?- I've just got a feeling about spring.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43- I think so.- We'll go for spring.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Spring is correct.- Oh!

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Anyone do German here?

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Fruh is the German for early.

0:21:52 > 0:21:58- Right.- So fruhstuck is breakfast and fruhling is early in the year.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00And summer is sommer and what's autumn?

0:22:00 > 0:22:05- Erm...- Autumn... The German for autumn - we've got them stumped!

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Maybe that'll come up next. Here we go.

0:22:08 > 0:22:13Lisa Kudrow, best known for her role as Phoebe in Friends,

0:22:13 > 0:22:17played a waitress called Ursula Buffay in which sitcom?

0:22:22 > 0:22:23- I have no idea.- I've got no idea.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28Taxi seems too far back.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32It's a previous generation to Friends and Frasier.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34I don't know much about Mad About You.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Could she have popped up in Frasier?

0:22:36 > 0:22:39- As a waitress? - It ran for 11 or 12 series,

0:22:39 > 0:22:41there's an enormous number of episodes.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44So on a straight statistical basis, perhaps...

0:22:45 > 0:22:48It rings a bell, Phoebe Buffay.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50- I don't think I've ever seen Mad About You.- No.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53I haven't watched much Taxi, I have watched Frasier,

0:22:53 > 0:22:55so, perhaps, I've seen her there.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58- I'm not very convinced though.- No.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00I've no idea. I haven't a clue.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04- Shall we go for Frasier?- Yeah. - We're going for Frasier.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06- Frasier is wrong.- Oh!

0:23:06 > 0:23:08- It's Mad About You.- Oh!

0:23:11 > 0:23:12You just, sort of, jumped there.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16There we are, how about that?

0:23:18 > 0:23:21Let's just think about this, you could win on this question.

0:23:23 > 0:23:24Your third question.

0:23:25 > 0:23:31Fiddler's Five, Mourning Cloak is the American name for which butterfly?

0:23:31 > 0:23:35Mourning is spelt, M-O-U-R-N-I-N-G, OK?

0:23:35 > 0:23:38Mourning Cloak is the American name for which butterfly?

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Can you spell that again, please?

0:23:47 > 0:23:48Mourning Cloak.

0:23:48 > 0:23:53And mourning is M-O-U-R-N-I-N-G, and cloak is C-L-O-A-K.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Yeah. Mourning is... - Like it's in mourning -

0:23:56 > 0:23:59it's not going to be the Cabbage White,

0:23:59 > 0:24:01- because that's white.- Yeah. - Mourning's normally black.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Camberwell Beauty... - I've really no idea.

0:24:04 > 0:24:08Red Admiral's black and red. And white, in that as well.

0:24:08 > 0:24:12- Mm-hm.- Camberwell Beauty... I don't really know.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14The colour, I think...

0:24:14 > 0:24:20- I'd have ruled out Cabbage White. - Yeah, because of mourning.

0:24:20 > 0:24:24- Um, the Red Admiral's got black, red and white in it.- Mm-hm.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27So I don't know whether that puts that out.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Will we go for Camberwell Beauty then?

0:24:30 > 0:24:33I don't know. The Cabbage White's out,

0:24:33 > 0:24:37so it's between the Red Admiral or Camberwell Beauty.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40- It's... I don't know. - Mourning Cloak.

0:24:40 > 0:24:44Red Admiral. Would an admiral not wear a cloak?

0:24:44 > 0:24:48- Yes, I would go it.- Would an admiral not wear black, though?

0:24:48 > 0:24:51- And it's black as well.- And black. Yeah?- It is a guess, so...

0:24:51 > 0:24:53We'll try Red Admiral.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Red Admiral is your answer. Are they right?- No.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57It's Camberwell Beauty.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59It is Camberwell Beauty.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02It's easy for me because I could see the answer.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05I thought Camberwell Beauty needed a different name in the States

0:25:05 > 0:25:08because Camberwell wouldn't mean much there.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Is that logical? - And it's purple, I think, isn't it?

0:25:10 > 0:25:13But Cabbage White would have been logical, too,

0:25:13 > 0:25:17because white is a mourning of colour. I mean a colour of mourning.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Is the mourning of colour? - Colour of mourning.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22All right. You let them off the hook there.

0:25:22 > 0:25:26These chances come few and far between. Let's see.

0:25:26 > 0:25:29If you get this wrong, Eggheads, they have won.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33The term "genial" can be used in relation to which part of the body?

0:25:38 > 0:25:44The term "genial" can be used in relation to which part of the body?

0:25:44 > 0:25:47That is G-E-N-I-A-L, genial.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49- I'm sure Daphne knows. - That's the chin.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51That's chin, Jeremy.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54Chin is the right answer.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56So...

0:25:56 > 0:25:59level after three questions.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01The multiple choice has gone now.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04We're on Sudden Death, OK? It can all end very quickly.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08It's a bit harder because I don't give you alternatives.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Here's your question. You ready?

0:26:10 > 0:26:13Tammany Hall was the name given to a driving force

0:26:13 > 0:26:15in politics in which American city?

0:26:15 > 0:26:19Tammany Hall - T-A-M-M-A-N-Y,

0:26:19 > 0:26:23Tammany Hall was the name given to a driving force in politics

0:26:23 > 0:26:25in which American city?

0:26:26 > 0:26:28You're going to have to help us.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30I've really no idea.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32Washington? Just because...

0:26:34 > 0:26:36Near the Capitol.

0:26:36 > 0:26:40Tammany Hall. I take it it's a person?

0:26:40 > 0:26:42- Is it a person?- Could be.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47- It could be anywhere.- Could be. I'm thinking Philadelphia.

0:26:47 > 0:26:52- I had that in my head, too. - That coast, up the east coast, there.

0:26:52 > 0:26:56- If you both thought it, just go for that.- Philadelphia.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59Not Philadelphia, no. It was in New York.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02That was none of our answers anyway, so...

0:27:02 > 0:27:04It's a pro-Democrat society, whose name

0:27:04 > 0:27:07and location were pretty synonymous.

0:27:07 > 0:27:11Now, your question, to win it. In terms of military hardware,

0:27:11 > 0:27:15specifically remotely-piloted aircraft,

0:27:15 > 0:27:19for what does the letter U stand in the abbreviation UAV?

0:27:22 > 0:27:24- Unmanned?- I think it's unmanned aerial vehicle.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27Is it unmanned, or unoccupied?

0:27:27 > 0:27:30- No, it's unmanned.- Unmanned, OK.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32We're going for unmanned.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34Your answer is unmanned.

0:27:34 > 0:27:38If you've got it right, then you've taken the contest.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41UAV is unmanned aerial vehicle.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won.

0:27:49 > 0:27:50Oh, well.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53- Did well three against three, so...- Yep.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56And it could have... It was the... What was the question - the genial?

0:27:56 > 0:28:00- The butterfly. The butterfly! - Yeah, the butterfly.- Yeah.

0:28:00 > 0:28:04We'll have to have a look at that Camberwell Beauty and see what's...

0:28:04 > 0:28:06Or maybe it's best not to.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08It's very nice to meet you. Great to see you all

0:28:08 > 0:28:11- and thanks for playing.- Thank you. - Commiserations to you.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14So the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,

0:28:14 > 0:28:17and they still reign supreme over Quizland.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20I'm afraid that means you won't be going home with the £2,000,

0:28:20 > 0:28:23so the money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26Eggheads, many congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:26 > 0:28:29Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers

0:28:29 > 0:28:33have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. £3,000 says they don't.

0:28:33 > 0:28:34Till then, goodbye.
