0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:12 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

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

0:00:22 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:26 > 0:00:29attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:29 > 0:00:34Their pedigree's well known - they've won the country's toughest quiz shows.

0:00:34 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38And challenging our resident quiz champions today are...

0:00:40 > 0:00:44This team of friends and family share a passion for animals,

0:00:44 > 0:00:48in particular, team captain Tom, who works as a pet detective.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52- Let's meet them.- Hello, I'm Tom, I'm 37 years old and I'm a pet detective.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Rachel, I'm 34 and I'm a former pet detective.

0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Sue, I'm 62 and I'm a pet detective's mum.

0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Graham, I'm 48 and I'm an IT network analyst.

0:01:04 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Henry,

0:01:05 > 0:01:08I'm 66 and I'm a commercial consultant in the energy industry.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10- Tom and team, welcome. - Thank you.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13- And pet detective means you go out searching, does it?- Absolutely.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15We do missing pet searches

0:01:15 > 0:01:18rather like the police would for a missing person.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20So, people say they've lost a cat or dog

0:01:20 > 0:01:22and describe it and then you go out and look?

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Yes, we have a lost and found website

0:01:24 > 0:01:27and people put photos of lost or found pets on the website.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29Do you wear a uniform for that?

0:01:29 > 0:01:30We do for the search team.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34It's uniformed, in marked vehicles, like the police, so its high-profile

0:01:34 > 0:01:36and people ask us what we're doing

0:01:36 > 0:01:38and hopefully, tell us where the pet is.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41And you sometimes even succeed in reuniting the pet with the owner?

0:01:41 > 0:01:44I'm pleased to say we have a 65% success rate,

0:01:44 > 0:01:46better than half, so we're pleased.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Do you carry magnifying glasses?

0:01:48 > 0:01:51- Not quite. Torches, maybe. - Torches? All right.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Good luck, whatever you need to use against the Eggheads is fine.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58Every day, there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize-money rolls over.

0:02:01 > 0:02:06So, Pet Detective & Co, the Eggheads won the last two games.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10That means £3,000 says you can't beat them today.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Science, eh? Who'll take that, you or Henry?

0:02:17 > 0:02:21Depends what the questions are going to be on the others, doesn't it?

0:02:21 > 0:02:23I don't mind doing that.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27- I think Graham or Henry. - Graham, then.- Yeah, Graham.

0:02:27 > 0:02:28That'll be me, Jeremy.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31You started with nobody who could do science,

0:02:31 > 0:02:32then there was three of you.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35- We used a scientific method! - Against which Egghead?

0:02:35 > 0:02:40I'd like to go against Judith, please.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43OK, Graham, from Pet Detective & Co against Judith.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46- You up for this, Judith? - Well, have I got a choice?

0:02:46 > 0:02:48You like your science. Judith from the Eggheads.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50To ensure there's no conferring,

0:02:50 > 0:02:53would you please take your positions in the Question Room?

0:02:53 > 0:02:56So, I'll ask each of you three multiple-choice questions

0:02:56 > 0:02:58on Science in turn and Graham,

0:02:58 > 0:03:01you can, of course, choose the first or second set.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03I'd like to go second, please, Jeremy.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09You said that in a particularly scientific way,

0:03:09 > 0:03:11if I may say so.

0:03:11 > 0:03:12Judith, first question.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14The term haematophagy

0:03:14 > 0:03:18is used to refer to the nature of some creatures to feed on what?

0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Well, I think that's blood. - Blood is the right answer.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26- Vampires.- Blood is the right answer.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Over to you, Graham.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31In the human body, what is the name of the flap of cartilage

0:03:31 > 0:03:35that prevents food and fluid from entering the windpipe during swallowing?

0:03:40 > 0:03:45Pretty sure the palate is part of the mouth itself and I'm not sure

0:03:45 > 0:03:48what a spiracle is at all, but I'm fairly sure it's the epiglottis.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53They like your answer here. Epiglottis is right, well done.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55- One each. - OTHERS CHEER

0:03:55 > 0:03:58You're on your way, Pet Detectives. OK, second question, Judith.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02What was the name of Marie and Pierre Curie's daughter,

0:04:02 > 0:04:04who won a Nobel Prize for chemistry

0:04:04 > 0:04:07with her husband, Frederic, in 1935?

0:04:12 > 0:04:15She probably took her husband's name, didn't she?

0:04:15 > 0:04:19She wasn't called Irene or Francine or Helene Curie

0:04:19 > 0:04:20when she won the prize.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25Helene, Irene... I think it might be Irene.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27- Why do you think that? - I don't know

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Usually you go "right" when you guess.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Should I have gone "right" again?

0:04:31 > 0:04:33We've taken Irene as your answer, but it's right.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Oh.- It's correct.- It's instinct.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38I liked how you did that.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Graham, Morganite is a pink variety of which mineral?

0:04:46 > 0:04:49I don't think it could be diamond.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53I'm fairly sure that's either, well, always transparent.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57I'm going to go straight for quartz, that's usually fairly colourful.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Quartz - anyone want to guess?

0:05:00 > 0:05:01- Diamond's clear.- I thought quartz.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Your team thinks it's quartz.

0:05:03 > 0:05:04Actually, Eggheads?

0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Do you know?- We'll go for quartz.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09OK. I've got Beryl.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Beryl is the answer. - Unlucky, Graham.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14Morganite is a pink variety of Beryl.

0:05:14 > 0:05:19Judith, your question to take the round.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21What do flowers are known as "anemophilous" use

0:05:21 > 0:05:25to move their pollen from one plant to the next?

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Well, I immediately thought wind,

0:05:29 > 0:05:33because anemones can also be called wind flowers.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36Ane...whatever the word is,

0:05:36 > 0:05:40is sort of wind-loving, I think, so, wind.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Good logic. Wind is the right answer.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Judith, you've taken the Science round.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Graham, you got knocked out by our Eggheads

0:05:48 > 0:05:51so Judith will be in the final and not you.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Do both of you please come back and rejoin your teams.

0:05:55 > 0:05:56Bad luck, Graham.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59That can happen. Never mind, it's early days.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05The Eggheads have lost no brains so far.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09Next subject is Sports, Pet Detectives.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Sport, I'm happy with sport. - Yeah, I think it should be you, Tom.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14I think it should be Tom. You all OK with that, yeah?

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Tom from Pet Detectives against which Egghead?

0:06:17 > 0:06:20I think Chris or Barry, shall we go with Barry?

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Barry, I think, yeah.

0:06:22 > 0:06:23- Yeah, go with Barry.- Barry, please.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27You've made Chris a very happy man, I must say.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Tom from Pet Detective & Co against Barry from the Egghead.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33To ensure no conferring, please take your positions.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36So, Tom, you run Pet Detective, as you were saying.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38You used to be a policeman yourself?

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Absolutely, yes, I served in the West Midlands Police.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44OK, and you wanted to start prosecuting pets instead?

0:06:44 > 0:06:47Well, doing something that was much more rewarding

0:06:47 > 0:06:48that I could be the boss of.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Do you have your own pets?

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Yes, a dog called Paris, named after the city I got engaged in.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56And you also have a pet degu, I heard?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59A degu, that's right, a little hamster-type pet

0:06:59 > 0:07:01that was handed to us after being found in the garden,

0:07:01 > 0:07:02lucky to be alive

0:07:02 > 0:07:05and Lucky, as we call him, is still with us a year on.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08- It's a hamster and something else? - Hamster and gerbil.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Hamster and gerbil combination? - From Chile.- Right.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15That's unlikely to come up in the Sport round

0:07:15 > 0:07:16but we'll see what happens.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Three questions, multiple-choice, you can choose first or second set.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22I'll go first, please.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Here we go, best of luck to you.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31In which sport is an Eskimo roll most likely to be performed?

0:07:35 > 0:07:39Roll... I know in wrestling, you roll about a lot.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Figure skating, it's not.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Er, wrestling...

0:07:45 > 0:07:47No, I'll go for canoeing.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Do you think he's right?

0:07:49 > 0:07:53Yes, you're right, well done. Canoeing it is.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Barry, your question.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59In shooting, what term is used to refer to the internal diameter

0:07:59 > 0:08:00of the barrel of a firearm?

0:08:05 > 0:08:09The internal diameter must be the calibre of a gun.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12The calibre is the right answer.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Over to you, Tom.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17According to the World Federation rules,

0:08:17 > 0:08:19badminton matches are usually won, barring ties,

0:08:19 > 0:08:22by the side that is the first to score how many points?

0:08:26 > 0:08:27Well, I'm not sure

0:08:27 > 0:08:31whether there's more than one federation or governing body,

0:08:31 > 0:08:34but I know 21 is a figure I've heard when I've played

0:08:34 > 0:08:37with my mum in my garden and she used to beat me to 21.

0:08:37 > 0:08:42So, not nine. 15, it could be, but 21, I think.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45- 21 is absolutely right, well done. - Thank you.

0:08:45 > 0:08:4721 is the right answer.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50OK, Barry. The 2010 Tour de France started in which city?

0:08:54 > 0:08:57I missed the start of this.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59I'm pretty certain it was in Belgium,

0:08:59 > 0:09:01so I think it might have been in Rotterdam.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Well done, Rotterdam is correct.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Hang on, Rotterdam's not in Belgium.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11The Netherlands.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13- It's in the Netherlands.- Oh!

0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Can you say that one again? - Why should you?

0:09:16 > 0:09:21Tempted as we are to remove your points, we can't do that.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24He'd make a great pet detective, wouldn't he? Amazing logic.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26As long as he was only in the UK.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31OK, Tom, your question, to keep the pressure on Barry.

0:09:31 > 0:09:36Which footballer was elected as the female FIFA Player of the Year

0:09:36 > 0:09:40in consecutive years between 2003 and 2005?

0:09:45 > 0:09:50Football isn't my strongest subject but female football...

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Birgit, I've heard of her, Birgit Prinz.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57But I'm going to go for the first, Mia Hamm.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59You've heard of Mia Hamm as well?

0:09:59 > 0:10:02I believe so, I think she was the lady in question.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05- I think it was Birgit Prinz, actually.- Ah!

0:10:05 > 0:10:08The little glimmer you had was there to be seized on.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Bad luck, Tom.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Barry, your question to take the round.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14What name is given to the hairpin bend

0:10:14 > 0:10:17at the French Formula One track Magny-Cours?

0:10:21 > 0:10:23I don't know this at all.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26I'm tempted to go for Eleanor

0:10:26 > 0:10:29because that's Judith's favourite French name,

0:10:29 > 0:10:32so I shall go for Eleanor.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35He's not right. It's Adelaide.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38So you're equal and we go to Sudden Death.

0:10:38 > 0:10:39This is exciting now, Tom.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42It gets a bit harder, I don't give alternatives.

0:10:42 > 0:10:43Your first question...

0:10:43 > 0:10:47What is the maximum number of points that can be awarded

0:10:47 > 0:10:49for a foul in snooker?

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Maximum number of points for a foul in snooker,

0:10:52 > 0:10:56I believe it's down to

0:10:56 > 0:10:59the highest-scoring colour.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02I'd say seven, which is the black, from memory.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04Seven is the right answer, well done.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Barry, in 2002,

0:11:08 > 0:11:10the first people inducted into

0:11:10 > 0:11:13the National Football Museum Hall of Fame as managers

0:11:13 > 0:11:16were Matt Busby, Brian Clough, Alex Ferguson,

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Bob Paisley, Alf Ramsey and which other?

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Oh, there's a plethora of fine managers to choose from

0:11:22 > 0:11:25and I shall go for the great Bill Shankly.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Bill Shankly is the right answer.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29OK, Tom, your question.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33Which former England Rugby Union player resigned from his position

0:11:33 > 0:11:36as Director of Rugby at Harlequins in August 2009,

0:11:36 > 0:11:38after a one-year ban was given to Tom Williams

0:11:38 > 0:11:42for faking a blood injury in a Heineken Cup match?

0:11:43 > 0:11:45I remember the incident

0:11:45 > 0:11:49because the doctor came on and cut his lip or something like that.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52But I must admit,

0:11:52 > 0:11:55it's going to be a guess.

0:11:55 > 0:11:56Will Carling?

0:11:56 > 0:12:00- It was not Will Carling, it was Dean Richards.- Ah!

0:12:00 > 0:12:04Barry, to take the round, here we are, Sudden Death.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08Which Australian fast bowler retired from Test cricket in 2010

0:12:08 > 0:12:12after taking 310 wickets in 76 matches?

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Oh, I know this, why won't this come?

0:12:16 > 0:12:20It wasn't Shane Warne, who obviously took more wickets than that.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23I'm sure his name begins with M.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Oh, gosh! This is painful! I know this!

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Let me think, er...

0:12:32 > 0:12:33Why won't it come?

0:12:36 > 0:12:39No, it's just not going to come. I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41Brett Lee is the answer.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44Oh! I wasn't thinking of Brett Lee at all.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46- OK.- Come on, Tom!

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Tom, back to you, which British athlete

0:12:48 > 0:12:52broke the 1500m, 2000m and mile world records

0:12:56 > 0:12:59Now, these were races I would've watched.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02I was into athletics myself then. I did the 800m.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05But I'll say all that and get it wrong probably.

0:13:05 > 0:13:10But I knew it was... Someone like Sebastian Coe or Steve Ovett.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14I'm going to go for Steve Cram.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Steve Cram's the right answer.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19So pressure on Barry now. Here we are. Sudden Death.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22If you get this wrong, you're not in the final round.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26The Louisiana Superdome, one of the largest indoor stadiums in the world,

0:13:26 > 0:13:30opened in 1975 in which American city?

0:13:32 > 0:13:35Ooh... Louisiana Superdome.

0:13:35 > 0:13:36Er...

0:13:37 > 0:13:39I'll try New Orleans.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41New Orleans is the right answer.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Tom, your question.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46In which year did the Italian footballer Paolo Rossi

0:13:46 > 0:13:50win the Golden Boot trophy at the World Cup?

0:13:50 > 0:13:53World Cup, so it's going to be...

0:13:54 > 0:13:58..one of the ones recently. I'd say...

0:14:00 > 0:14:03..2006.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05No. 1982.

0:14:05 > 0:14:06Ah!

0:14:06 > 0:14:10Barry, in which sport that made its first Olympic appearance

0:14:10 > 0:14:13as a medal sport in 2000

0:14:13 > 0:14:14do competitors wear a dobok?

0:14:14 > 0:14:15Dobok.

0:14:15 > 0:14:19That sounds Asian and I think taekwondo came in around them.

0:14:19 > 0:14:20I'll go for taekwondo.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Taekwondo is the right answer.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Barry's won the round on Sudden Death! Tom, well fought.

0:14:26 > 0:14:31What a struggle. Barry will be in the final and Tom, you will not be.

0:14:31 > 0:14:35Both of you please come back and rejoin your teammates.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38So, the challengers have lost two brains from the final round

0:14:38 > 0:14:41whilst the Eggheads have lost no brains.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Our next subject is Film & TV.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Who fancies this?

0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Who's good at this?- It's got to be Rachel.- Go for Rachel.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Rachel? OK. Against which Egghead?

0:14:50 > 0:14:54It can't be Barry or Judith.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Go for Chris.- Chris? - Shall we go for Chris?- Yeah.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Chris.- Yeah? - Yeah. We'll go for Chris.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Can I try Chris?

0:15:01 > 0:15:04OK, no problem. Our Pet Detective against our Egghead, Chris.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07Please both, if you can, go to the question rooms now.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11So Rachel, you love your painting, I gather.

0:15:11 > 0:15:12I do, yes.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15Do you paint and sell what you paint?

0:15:15 > 0:15:17I have sold prints of some of my work.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19I'm a member of the Gloucestershire Society of Artists

0:15:19 > 0:15:21which has been amazing.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25We're based in a place called Nature In Art in Twigworth, Gloucestershire.

0:15:25 > 0:15:26It's just absolutely fabulous.

0:15:26 > 0:15:30Anybody that's into art should really check it out.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34OK. Good luck. Three questions, multiple choice. Film & TV.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36Rachel, you can choose the first or second set.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39I'll go first, I think, please.

0:15:42 > 0:15:43Here we go, good luck.

0:15:43 > 0:15:49Which TV sitcom ended in August 2010 after 37 years?

0:15:54 > 0:15:5637 years is a long time, so I would say probably

0:15:56 > 0:16:01My Family and Keeping Up Appearances haven't been going that long.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03I'll go for Last Of The Summer Wine.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05That's the right answer. Well done.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Back on track. Chris, your question.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13Who directed the 2010 film The Expendables?

0:16:19 > 0:16:20Well, they're all in it, aren't they?

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Sylvester Stallone's got into directing lately

0:16:25 > 0:16:28so it's got to be Sly Stallone.

0:16:28 > 0:16:29It is Sylvester Stallone

0:16:29 > 0:16:32- although he's the only one who's in it.- Is he?

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Your memory played you false but you got the right answer.

0:16:35 > 0:16:39What is the name of the butler played by John Gielgud

0:16:39 > 0:16:41in the 1981 film Arthur?

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Right, well I don't know that one at all.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51It's going to have to be a guess, I'm afraid.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54For some reason, I'm going to say Gibson.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56It's not Gibson. Anyone?

0:16:56 > 0:16:59- Hobson.- Hobson is the answer.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01Chris, who played Alex P Keaton

0:17:01 > 0:17:07in the US TV sitcom Family Ties, which started in 1982?

0:17:11 > 0:17:16It's '82. Johnny Depp would've been a babe in arms then.

0:17:16 > 0:17:21It's got to be Michael J Fox. He's the only one who's old enough.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23Michael J Fox is the right answer.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26Two points to Chris and one to you, Rachel. You need this one.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29In the original Tom and Jerry cartoons,

0:17:29 > 0:17:32what was the name of the son of Spike the Bulldog?

0:17:37 > 0:17:41Right, I know the term "little tyke" is used a lot.

0:17:43 > 0:17:49I don't think it would've been Mike. Pike, I'm not sure.

0:17:49 > 0:17:53OK, well, again I'm afraid it's going to have to be a guess.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56I think I'm going to go for...

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Tyke.

0:17:58 > 0:17:59It is Tyke.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Oh!- Brilliant!

0:18:02 > 0:18:05Brilliant! Little Tyke! Nice one.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07So she's drawn level with Chris.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Chris, if you get this wrong, we go to Sudden Death.

0:18:09 > 0:18:14Which gangster was played by Christian Slater in the 1991 film Mobsters?

0:18:19 > 0:18:24Bugsy Siegel was behind the development of Las Vegas, to a large extent.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26I don't think it was Al Capone.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Mobsters. Bugsy Siegel wasn't really a mobster,

0:18:32 > 0:18:34he was a racketeer. Slightly different.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37I'll go on a punt with Lucky Luciano.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39If this is right, you're in the final.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43The answer is Lucky Luciano. Well done. Rachel, bad luck.

0:18:43 > 0:18:47Chris will be in the final. Rachel, you won't be.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49The comeback needs to start now.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53Both of you come back, please, and rejoin your teammates.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56OK, is the strategy going to change?

0:18:56 > 0:18:58We've got something up our sleeve.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Oh, OK. Good! We look forward to seeing that.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04The challengers have lost three brains.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06The Eggheads are still intact.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08- The last subject is Politics. - Oh, my God.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10- What happens now?- Oh, politics!

0:19:10 > 0:19:11- What shall we do? - Henry or Sue?

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Do you want to take it or shall I?

0:19:13 > 0:19:16We need Henry in the final round, Mum, so you'd better go.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19We definitely need Henry in the final round.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23- It'll be me, Jeremy. - OK, Sue. Against which Egghead?

0:19:23 > 0:19:27Oh, dear, it'll be Pat, please. I don't want Kevin!

0:19:27 > 0:19:31Sue from Pet Detective & Co versus Pat from the Eggheads.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room now.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Good luck on this. You're playing Pat.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41It's three questions on politics. Sue, choose the first or second set.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43I'll go second, please, Jeremy.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49Here we go, good luck to you both.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Pat, the memoirs of Tony Blair were published in September 2010

0:19:52 > 0:19:54under what title?

0:19:56 > 0:20:00He could've used all three titles with varying degrees of irony,

0:20:00 > 0:20:04but I think that book was called A Journey.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05It is A Journey.

0:20:05 > 0:20:09It started of as THE Journey, and he changed it to A.

0:20:09 > 0:20:10Oh.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13He felt that "the" was a bit too Messianic.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Sue, who was the British Prime Minister

0:20:15 > 0:20:19when the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place?

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Hmm...

0:20:25 > 0:20:27I should know this, obviously.

0:20:27 > 0:20:32I know that Winston Churchill was Prime Minister during the war,

0:20:32 > 0:20:35but whether or not he was still Prime Minister in 1953...

0:20:35 > 0:20:40I'm going to plump for Winston Churchill.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43With no confidence whatever!

0:20:43 > 0:20:47- Winston Churchill was the right answer.- Oh, good.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49Because - help us out, Eggheads -

0:20:49 > 0:20:52he lost after the Second World War. No-one can quite understand.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55- And then, what, in '51... - Yes, he got back in.

0:20:55 > 0:20:59- It was Atlee in between. - Your question, Pat.

0:20:59 > 0:21:03Andrew Bonar Law was the British Prime Minister during which decade?

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Andrew Bonar Law.

0:21:10 > 0:21:14I think he's... Is he the forgotten Prime Minister?

0:21:14 > 0:21:18Possibly forgotten by me, as well!

0:21:19 > 0:21:21I don't think it's 1930s.

0:21:21 > 0:21:261910s - we have Asquith and we have Lloyd George.

0:21:28 > 0:21:32Did Bonar Law sneak in towards the end of the '10s?

0:21:34 > 0:21:38I should know this straight away, so it's a bit of a lapse, really.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41Andrew Bonar Law...

0:21:41 > 0:21:44I'll have to go for 1920s, but I should know this straight away.

0:21:44 > 0:21:45I'll go for 1920s.

0:21:45 > 0:21:49It was 1922 to 1923, so you're right. It was 1920s. Well done.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Sue, back to you.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Miss Lillian was the nickname of the mother of which US President?

0:21:59 > 0:22:04Hmm. Now, then. I don't recollect any of their mothers being about.

0:22:04 > 0:22:05Um...

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Well, um, number three did it for me last time,

0:22:11 > 0:22:13so I'm going to go for Ronald Reagan.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16Ronald Reagan is wrong, I'm afraid.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Jimmy Carter, it was.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21The Southern... He was from Atlanta,

0:22:21 > 0:22:22was he, or...?

0:22:22 > 0:22:26- He was a peanut farmer. - From Georgia.- Peanut farmer, yeah.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29OK, Pat, your question, to take the round.

0:22:29 > 0:22:34In the 2010 General Election, which constituency had voting postponed

0:22:34 > 0:22:38due to the death of one of its candidates until 27th May?

0:22:45 > 0:22:48They're all in the North Yorkshire/Lincolnshire area.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50Thirsk and Malton rings a bell,

0:22:50 > 0:22:53but I'm not sure it's because it was delayed.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Selby and Ainsty... Sleaford...

0:22:56 > 0:23:01Thirsk and Malton rings a distant bell, for some reason.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04Perhaps it was because it had a delayed result.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06So I'll go for that.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10Thirsk and Malton is right.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13Well done. It's a tough question, as well. Sorry, Sue.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Didn't quite make it there.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19Pat is going to be in the final and, Sue, you're not,

0:23:19 > 0:23:22so please both of you come back and we will play that final round.

0:23:24 > 0:23:29- So it's not gone quite to plan. - Not as we intended, but we're...

0:23:29 > 0:23:34- Plan B now. Plan B.- It's the pet equivalent of losing about 50 cats.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36A 5% success rate, remember.

0:23:36 > 0:23:40You could still win. This is what we've been playing towards.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43It's our final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge,

0:23:43 > 0:23:45but those who lost your head-to-heads

0:23:45 > 0:23:47won't be allowed to take part.

0:23:47 > 0:23:51So, Tom, Rachel, Sue and Graham from Pet Detective & Co,

0:23:51 > 0:23:53would you please now leave the studio?

0:23:55 > 0:23:58- So, Henry, you're all alone. - It seems that way, Jeremy.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01- It wasn't supposed to happen. - No, this wasn't the plan.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04We discussed it last night over a glass of wine,

0:24:04 > 0:24:06and this wasn't meant to happen.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09What sort of wine? That could be material to this.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12- A nice Australian shiraz. The wine was good, anyway.- OK. Good start.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16You're playing to win £3,000. Chris, Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin,

0:24:16 > 0:24:18you're playing for something money can't buy -

0:24:18 > 0:24:20the Eggheads' reputation.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25This time the questions are all general knowledge,

0:24:25 > 0:24:27and you are allowed to confer.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29So, Henry, the big question is,

0:24:29 > 0:24:32is your one brain smarter than the Eggheads' five?

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Am I allowed to confer with the Eggheads?

0:24:34 > 0:24:37You can't even confer with me. Not that that would help.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40Pet Detective & Co, as I will now call you,

0:24:40 > 0:24:43- would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49Good luck.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53Henry, the city of St Davids is located in which National Park?

0:24:56 > 0:25:01Well, as I come from Hereford, I'm close to the Brecon Beacons,

0:25:01 > 0:25:04and it's not there.

0:25:04 > 0:25:08It's not in Snowdonia, so it must be the Pembrokeshire Coast,

0:25:08 > 0:25:12and it is the Pembrokeshire Coast, because I've been there a few times.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16Very good logic. It is the Pembrokeshire Coast. Well done.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18OK, Eggheads, your first question.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21Which member of the Royal Family took Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park

0:25:21 > 0:25:24as their residence in 2004,

0:25:24 > 0:25:27following the death of its previous occupant,

0:25:27 > 0:25:31Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, two years before?

0:25:33 > 0:25:36It's definitely not Prince Charles.

0:25:36 > 0:25:40- But Prince Andrew did sell Southfork, or whatever it's called.- Yeah.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43After the divorce.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Prince Edward, the Count and Countess of Essex -

0:25:46 > 0:25:49- that's Bagshot Park, in Surrey.- Yes.

0:25:49 > 0:25:54- I think it's probably Prince Andrew. - Yeah. So it seems.- Yeah.

0:25:54 > 0:25:58- Seems plausible.- Right, OK.- Yeah.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00We'll go for Prince Andrew.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02Prince Andrew is correct.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Your second question, Henry.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07Which pop group took their name from a 1960 film

0:26:07 > 0:26:10starring Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood?

0:26:15 > 0:26:19I vaguely remember the film Fine Young Cannibals.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23I think that was about that time.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26I don't think it's the Belle Stars.

0:26:27 > 0:26:32I'm going to go for Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

0:26:32 > 0:26:38It's not that. You had a glimmer of Fine Young Cannibals but it receded.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42- Not enough of a glimmer, clearly. - Not enough of a glimmer. OK!

0:26:42 > 0:26:45The right answer is Fine Young Cannibals.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47So the Eggheads have a chance to go ahead.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50The term "alevin" is used to refer to a young what?

0:26:53 > 0:26:57- A-L-E-V-I-N?- Yeah.- Oh, yes. - It's a fish, isn't it? Yeah.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00- I think it's a fish. - It's fish, Jeremy.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03The right answer is fish. So you're ahead, Eggheads.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Henry, you need to get this one right

0:27:05 > 0:27:10or they have taken not just a round but the contest. Good luck.

0:27:10 > 0:27:16"When Adam delved and Eve span, who was then the gentleman?"

0:27:16 > 0:27:19are words attributed to the radical priest John Ball

0:27:19 > 0:27:21at which historic event?

0:27:26 > 0:27:30I don't think that priests were particularly featuring

0:27:30 > 0:27:33in the Peasants' Revolt.

0:27:33 > 0:27:39I'm not sure they featured very greatly in the Battle of Bosworth.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42But then, is it the sort of thing he would have said

0:27:42 > 0:27:44in the Third Crusade?

0:27:44 > 0:27:50I'm going to go with my glimmer, Jeremy, of the Battle of Bosworth.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52Let's see if the Eggheads know.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54It's the Peasants' Revolt.

0:27:54 > 0:27:55The answer is Peasants' Revolt,

0:27:55 > 0:27:58which means there is no way back for your team,

0:27:58 > 0:28:00so we say congratulations, Eggheads, you've won!

0:28:06 > 0:28:10- And it is hard not being able to confer.- You wouldn't let me!

0:28:10 > 0:28:12No, it's against the rules.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15Commiserations. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18They still reign supreme over quiz land.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £3,000,

0:28:21 > 0:28:24so the money now rolls over to our next show.

0:28:24 > 0:28:27Eggheads, very well done again. Who will beat you?

0:28:27 > 0:28:30Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers

0:28:30 > 0:28:32have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35£4,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
