0:00:03 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads where a team of five quiz challengers attempt
0:00:27 > 0:00:30to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:38 > 0:00:42are the Incidentals from Southampton. This family team
0:00:42 > 0:00:46with sisters Ali and Nicola and mum and dad Pauline and Freddy
0:00:46 > 0:00:52have called upon the services of their dentist John to complete their line-up. Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Ali, I'm 44 and I'm a children's author.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Nicola, I'm 46 and I'm a practice nurse.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Pauline, I'm 67 and I'm a retired nurse tutor.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hello, I'm Freddy, I'm 68 and I'm a podiatrist.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Hi, I'm John, I'm 55 and I'm a dentist.
0:01:11 > 0:01:17- Ali, you and Nicola are sisters? - We are, yes.- But you do very different things. You write?
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- I'm a children's author. - You have published what?
0:01:20 > 0:01:25- About 13 books so far, but about another ten coming out fairly soon. - Goodness me!
0:01:25 > 0:01:31- You're busy?- Yes, there's quite a lot happening.- Nicola, what do you do?- I'm a practice nurse.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36- Whereabouts are you nursing? - In Southampton.- One particular area?
0:01:36 > 0:01:40I work in a doctor's surgery in the west end of Southampton.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45- What made them call on your services, John?- They knew I'd done a few quizzes in the past.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Are you the ringer? Is that what you are here?
0:01:48 > 0:01:54- Probably.- The dentist. OK, well, good luck against the Eggheads.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Every day, there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02If they fail to beat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Incidentals, the Eggheads have won the last four games,
0:02:05 > 0:02:09which means £5,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:09 > 0:02:15- Are you ready to try?- Yeah.- Yes. - OK, your first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Sport.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Who's the sporting person?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20It looks like me to start.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Shall I go for a good win or go for somebody?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Go for a win. - Follow your instincts.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31- I'll take Sport and I'd like to take on Judith, please.- Right.- Who?
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- It's you.- Are you sure? - A little bit of strategy even about the margin of victory.
0:02:36 > 0:02:43I think that's what I heard! So John from the Incidentals, their dentist, against Judith.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Prepare for your extraction from the Eggheads.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50To ensure no conferring, take your positions in the question room.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54John, you have done quizzes on TV before, I understand?
0:02:54 > 0:02:59- A long time ago.- Go on. Which one? - Mastermind. I won The Krypton Factor.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- Fantastic. When was that?- '82. - And Mastermind?
0:03:04 > 0:03:09'81 and 2008...7. 2007.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11So with Magnus and Mr Humphrys?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- Yes.- In the Magnus Magnusson episode, what was your specialist subject?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18The Life and Works of Dorothy Parker.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22We're a bit of a way from that with Sport, but let's give it a go.
0:03:22 > 0:03:29- I think we've got a good quizzer here, Judith.- So do I.- OK, three multiple choice questions on Sport.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- John, the first or second set? - I'll go first, please.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Your question, John. In which sport were performance-enhancing, hi-tech,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42ankle-length suits banned from January 2010?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47That will be swimming.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Swimming is the right answer. You sounded certain.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52OK, Judith...
0:03:52 > 0:03:58Traditionally, during half-time at polo matches, the crowd goes on to the field to do what?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05That's treading down the divots.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10Repair the divots is correct. They don't catch the horses.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14They've got riders, haven't they? Let's not worry about it.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18John, which rugby league team won the Challenge Cup in 2010?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I did see some of that as well.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Um...
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I think it was Warrington.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Warrington is the right answer.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Judith, your question.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39The motorcycle rider Dani Pedrosa was born in which country?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Can you spell the "Dani"?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48D-A-N-I and then P-E-D-R-O-S-A.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Oh, well, it could be any of them, actually.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58Italians are, on the whole, daring drivers and motorcycle riders,
0:04:58 > 0:05:00so I'm going to say Italy.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- Brilliant logic.- The wrong one.- The wrong answer. Spain is the answer.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- Oh.- All Spanish viewers now offended!
0:05:11 > 0:05:17John, your question. If you get this right, you're in the final round. You will have knocked out Judith.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21The Bunbury Mile is one section of a course at which horse-racing venue?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27I knew there'd be a horse-racing question. I'm terrible at them.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30The Bunbury Mile...
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Newmarket.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Newmarket is the right answer.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41I didn't know you took it so personally.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42LAUGHTER
0:05:42 > 0:05:49- Judith, you have been dispatched. - I've been extracted.- Yes, extracted from the team by their dentist.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:05:52 > 0:05:58The challengers have lost no brains from the final round. The Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00The next subject is Film & TV.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Who would like this? Not John.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05It's going to be you, Dad.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Who are we going to go up against?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10You have a choice. What do you reckon?
0:06:10 > 0:06:15- Pat.- Pat, yeah. - OK, Freddy from the Incidentals against Pat from the Eggheads.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20So there's no conferring, take your positions in the question room.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24So, Freddy, how long have you and Pauline been together?
0:06:24 > 0:06:30- 48 years, plus a bit.- Well done. You met in your teens, I'm just thinking?- That's right.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35I was 16, Pauline was 15. Maybe a bit before that. We met at the ice rink in Southampton.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Is it still there?- No.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- It's a bone of contention.- There aren't enough ice rinks anywhere.
0:06:42 > 0:06:49- Absolutely.- Three questions on Film & TV in turn. Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- Would you like the first or second set of questions?- I'll go first.
0:06:56 > 0:07:03Here we go. Which of the Doctor's enemies in Doctor Who became famous for using the word "exterminate"?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Well, I do know all of those three.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13I'm pretty sure it's not the Cybermen or the Silurians.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18- We'll go with the Daleks.- Daleks is the right answer. Well done.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Now to you, Pat.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26The TV presenters Declan Donnelly and Anthony McPartlin were both born in which city?
0:07:29 > 0:07:34I think they're both from Newcastle upon Tyne.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Newcastle upon Tyne is correct. Back to you, Freddy.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Who directed the 2001 film Artificial Intelligence, AI,
0:07:42 > 0:07:46starring Haley Joel Osment and Jude Law?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I'm not absolutely sure about this one.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I don't think it was Ridley Scott.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01I don't even think it was Steven Spielberg. I'll go for Peter Jackson.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Peter Jackson is your answer.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Not Jackson, Freddy, I'm afraid. It was Steven Spielberg.
0:08:09 > 0:08:15Pat, your question. Which TV drama did Matt Di Angelo and Kelly Adams join in Series Five
0:08:15 > 0:08:18as the characters Sean and Emma Kennedy?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I've watched all three of these series.
0:08:27 > 0:08:33I have a suspicion Kelly Adams is almost a Kylie Minogue lookalike.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Not quite, but a blonde actress.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39So my first thought is Hustle.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Certainly there are very few core characters in Spooks.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47It's just Peter Firth and a handful of agents
0:08:47 > 0:08:51and Waking The Dead has perhaps even a smaller core cast.
0:08:51 > 0:08:57So I think they must have joined the con man fraternity in Hustle.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Hustle is right. You're in the lead. Freddy, you need this one now.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Which actress was the mother-in-law of the singer Mel Torme?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I'm going to have to just make a stab at...
0:09:13 > 0:09:18I'm thinking the best guess line was always to go down the left.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- We'll go for Beryl Reid. - Beryl Reid is your answer.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Judith has this patented technique. Left or right?
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- It's down the right. - And Thora Hird is the right answer!
0:09:30 > 0:09:32There, you see?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34It's Judith's special method.
0:09:34 > 0:09:40Sorry, Freddy, you've been knocked out by Pat who will be in the final and you won't.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48Bad luck, Freddy. It wasn't Beryl. Daphne, you know about Mel Torme?
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Yes, he was married to Janette Scott who was Thora Hird's daughter.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55She was a well-known actress in the '50s and '60s.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59And Mel Torme, for those who don't remember him, tell us what he did.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Oh, he was a singer, The Velvet Fog.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- In the '50s, in the '60s? - Yeah, and the '70s.
0:10:06 > 0:10:13As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round. The Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Right up your street.
0:10:18 > 0:10:24- That'll be you, Ali.- It'll have to be.- You might get one of your books coming up in this round.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- Let's hope so.- Which Egghead?
0:10:26 > 0:10:32- It can't be Pat or Judith. - I'm being drawn to the shirt more than anything. It has to be CJ.
0:10:32 > 0:10:38Good choice. Ali from the Incidentals against CJ from the Eggheads.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions now.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45This is perfect - Arts & Books and you write books!
0:10:45 > 0:10:49It should be perfect, but the scope for humiliation is terrible.
0:10:49 > 0:10:55There are children's authors all over the UK watching this, ready to laugh their socks off at me.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59They'll probably laugh at CJ. That's what they normally do.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03When did you get your breakthrough as a children's writer?
0:11:03 > 0:11:09After many years of trying, in 2006, my first book Finding The Fox from the Shapeshifter series came out.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12It was three or four years of really trying before that happened.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15That was a book for what age?
0:11:15 > 0:11:20Nine-plus, but a surprising number of seven and eight-year-olds follow it through
0:11:20 > 0:11:22and a surprising number of teenagers and adults.
0:11:22 > 0:11:30- It must be fantastic to have the first call that says, "We'll put it out."- Unforgettable. Just fantastic.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35Good luck. CJ, you mustn't embarrass the author. Arts & Books, three questions, multiple choice.
0:11:35 > 0:11:41- Ali, do you want the first or second set?- I'll go with the trend and have the first set, please.
0:11:44 > 0:11:51Ali, good luck. Here we go. The prize-winning novelist Colm Toibin was born in which country?
0:11:55 > 0:12:00- Oh...- The name is spelt C-O-L-M and then T-O-I-B-I-N.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Well, it doesn't sound very Canadian to me.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Or very New Zealand.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09It does have an Irish ring to it.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13I've not heard of him which is shameful,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17but it does sound Irish, so I'll plump for Irish.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Republic of Ireland is quite right. Well done.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- Pat, can you help? Colm Toibin? - Colm Toibin.- Have you heard of him?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Yes, he's a prominent author, yeah.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33Your question, CJ. In which year was the Lord Chamberlain's role
0:12:33 > 0:12:36in censoring theatrical performances in London abolished?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44I've got no idea. Um...
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Well, the late '60s was a time for...
0:12:50 > 0:12:55..quite a few more liberal policies coming into the British government.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I'd be surprised if it was as late as '88.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I've got absolutely no idea.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- I don't know. '68.- '68 is right.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09How unfair is that!
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Help us out here.
0:13:11 > 0:13:18- I thought it was something to do with a play called The Romans In Britain.- That was 12 years later.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Was there a 1968 event?
0:13:20 > 0:13:26No, it had been coming gradually. There had been several plays over the course of the early to mid-'60s
0:13:26 > 0:13:31that led to calls for the thing to be repealed and eventually it happened in 1968.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34It just took time to work through.
0:13:34 > 0:13:40OK, Ali, second question. Anna Of The Five Towns, a 1902 novel set in the Potteries, is by which author?
0:13:44 > 0:13:48I've never heard of it on Thomas Hardy's novels.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53Anna Of The Five Towns sounds like something Catherine Cookson did!
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Anna Of The Five Towns...
0:13:57 > 0:14:01I'm not sure, so I'm going to follow the Keppel method
0:14:01 > 0:14:05and go down on the right-hand side and go for Arnold Bennett.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10- Now known as the Keppel method. Is she right, Judith?- She's right.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Thank you, Judith.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14It's extraordinary.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18OK, CJ, the author John Fowles lived in which coastal resort
0:14:18 > 0:14:22and used it as the setting for The French Lieutenant's Woman?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28My favourite novel. Lyme Regis.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Lyme Regis is correct. Two each.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36See if you can get this one and make him sweat, Ali.
0:14:36 > 0:14:42Which Austrian painter died in 1918 during the Spanish flu epidemic aged only 28?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Ah, Austrian painters!
0:14:51 > 0:14:55If only I'd ever paid attention to any kind of painters.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I have absolutely not a clue.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Austrian. Let's have a look.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06Romako does not look like an Austrian name to me. Maybe I'd be tempting fate a second time.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Klinger and Schiele.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Klinger. That sounds more German.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18Or even Russian, but Schiele's got an Austrian feel to it,
0:15:18 > 0:15:22so I'll go for Egon Schiele.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Egon Schiele is the right answer. Well done.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28CJ, if you get this wrong
0:15:28 > 0:15:35you have been knocked out by a writer. The 1793 painting The Death of Marat,
0:15:35 > 0:15:41depicting the murdered man in his bath, was the work of which artist and friend of the deceased?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52It was very controversial
0:15:52 > 0:15:57and because of it the painter had to go into exile in Belgium.
0:15:57 > 0:16:05And in his funeral procession when he died, copies of all his paintings were held up, except for this one,
0:16:05 > 0:16:09because it was too controversial. It's Jacques-Louis David.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13That is the right answer. You're well matched.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17We go to sudden death, Ali. It's a bit more difficult.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21It's not multiple choice now. Here's your question.
0:16:21 > 0:16:27Which 1950s children's novel tells the story of Tom Long, who having been sent to stay
0:16:27 > 0:16:33with his Uncle Alan and Aunt Gwen has adventures after hearing a grandfather clock striking 13?
0:16:33 > 0:16:37This was one of my all-time favourites.
0:16:37 > 0:16:43It's a fantastic story which I recommend every child and adult should read again.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- It's Tom's Midnight Garden. - Quite right. Well done.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49CJ, you're out if this is wrong.
0:16:49 > 0:16:55Which writer, whose books include An Unkindness of Ravens and The Speaker of Mandarin,
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- was made a Baroness by the Labour Party in 1997?- Female writer...
0:17:03 > 0:17:08No, I don't know either of the titles so it's a blind guess.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13I'm having trouble thinking of any female writers who are titled.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Let's try...
0:17:16 > 0:17:21- PD James.- PD James. Do you know this, Ali?
0:17:21 > 0:17:25I know the book An Unkindness of Ravens. I'm picturing the cover.
0:17:25 > 0:17:31- I can almost see it. I keep thinking of Ruth Rendell, but I'm not certain.- Do you know, Pauline?
0:17:31 > 0:17:37- No.- It is Ruth Rendell. CJ, you've gone! You got it wrong. Not PD James.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Well done, Ali!
0:17:39 > 0:17:44You've knocked out an Egghead and you will be in the final round.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Both please come back to us here.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain, the Eggheads two.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54The last subject is Science.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Which challenger would like Science?
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- It could be either of you. - What do you think?
0:18:01 > 0:18:05You could do without me more if I lose!
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- I'll do Science. I'll be scientific. - OK. Against?
0:18:09 > 0:18:17- I'd like to go against Daphne, please.- So Nicola on Science against Daphne.
0:18:17 > 0:18:23- Feeling good, Daphne?- Nope! - All right, off we go to the Question Room.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27OK, Science it is. Three questions, multiple choice.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- Nicola, first or second set? - I have to go first, I think.
0:18:34 > 0:18:41Good luck. What name is given to a metallic material formed from a mixture of other metals?
0:18:46 > 0:18:52Well, I think a hybrid is usually to do with things like plants or animals.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I don't...
0:18:55 > 0:18:59I'm not awfully sure what melange means, so alloy.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04Alloy is the right answer. Well done. It's building confidence
0:19:04 > 0:19:08in this team. Which unit of time, Daphne, was once defined
0:19:08 > 0:19:13as 1/86,400ths of the mean solar day?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21The second? I don't know!
0:19:21 > 0:19:26The second is correct. There are 86,400 in a day?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- I suppose so.- OK.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Your question, Nicola.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36Each of the 20 faces of a regular icosahedron is which shape?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43That's I-C-O-S-A-H-E-D-R-O-N. Icosahedron.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I think it...
0:19:47 > 0:19:52I'm not awfully good at maths, but I think it probably has to be a pentagon.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54But I could be entirely wrong.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I'm going to go for pentagon.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- Anybody, Eggheads? - I suspect it's a triangle.- It is.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Not a pentagon.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Daphne, your question.
0:20:05 > 0:20:12Which term refers to reproduction in which an egg develops into a new individual without being fertilised?
0:20:20 > 0:20:27Well, partheno means virgin, so I think it's parthenogenesis.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Parthenogenesis is the correct answer. Well done.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33OK, you need to get this right.
0:20:33 > 0:20:39Of the four fundamental forces or interactions that are believed to operate in the universe,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42which is the weakest?
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Mmm. I know nothing about this at all,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56so it's going to be a guess.
0:20:56 > 0:21:02So I'm actually going to go for something that, to me, sounds like it's the wrong answer,
0:21:02 > 0:21:08but I'm probably wrong in thinking that it's the wrong answer - gravitation.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13The logic, I don't know. It could be the new method here.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18Because you're right, actually. Gravitation is the right answer.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Gravity is incredibly weak.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24If it was strong, you couldn't pick anything off the ground.
0:21:24 > 0:21:30- But electromagnetism sounds like it could be any...- But it operates over very small distances.
0:21:30 > 0:21:38Weak nuclear force is only inside atoms and molecules. It's incredibly strong inside that small space.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42We're getting immersed in science, Daphne. Here's your question.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Get this or we go to sudden death.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Which creature has the scientific name Calliphora vomitoria?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I-I think...
0:21:58 > 0:22:02I think I've heard the word for cockroach and it's not that.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04And I don't think it's brown rat.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Bluebottle fly.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Your answer is bluebottle fly.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16They could all logically, I suppose, be vomitoria related.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20The fly is the right one, though. Well done.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Amazing play
0:22:22 > 0:22:27by our Egghead. Sorry, Nicola. You won't be in the final round.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Both of you come back and rejoin your teammates.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36This is what we've been playing towards. It's the final round.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Those of you who lost head-to-heads
0:22:38 > 0:22:43won't be allowed to take part. So Nicola and Freddy
0:22:43 > 0:22:47and Judith and CJ from the Eggheads please now leave the studio.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54So you've played really well, Incidentals, and now for the crunch.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Ali, Pauline and John, you're playing for £5,000.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02Pat, Kevin and Daphne are playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:02 > 0:23:09I will ask each team three questions all on general knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14So are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:14 > 0:23:20- No answer required! Do you want to go first or second?- First. - Stick with first.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22All the best.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27In company accounts, what term is used to refer
0:23:27 > 0:23:33to the allowance for the fall in value of an asset during its working life?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Depreciation.- Depreciation?- Yep.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41We'll say depreciation.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Depreciation is the right answer.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Eggheads, your question.
0:23:46 > 0:23:52Strine is a version of English said to be spoken by people from which country?
0:23:55 > 0:24:00- Australia. - S-T-R-I-N-E?- S-T-R-I-N-E.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- It's Australia.- Yeah.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- Australia is the right answer. You've been, Daphne?- So has Kevin.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Did they say anything in Strine?
0:24:10 > 0:24:15- They probably did! - Want an example?- No, mate.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18"Eye level arch play devoisters."
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- What does that mean? - No idea!
0:24:22 > 0:24:27- "I'll have a large plate of oysters." That is Strine.- OK.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- But not as we know it.- OK.
0:24:31 > 0:24:39Not as we know it! Someone referred to as pulchritudinous can also be described by which term?
0:24:43 > 0:24:48You're the author, but I think that's beautiful, isn't it?
0:24:48 > 0:24:53- Oh, crikey.- Or is it arrogant? - Can we have that word again?
0:24:53 > 0:24:59Someone referred to as pulchritudinous can also be described by which term?
0:24:59 > 0:25:02P-U-L-C-H-R-I-T-U-D-I-N-O-U-S.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07I think it's beautiful, but it might be arrogant.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11It's a fantastic word. I'll use it in my next book!
0:25:11 > 0:25:16- So we think...?- Beautiful. - I think it probably is.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- Beautiful?- Beautiful.
0:25:18 > 0:25:24So... All right, girls? Boys? We're going to say beautiful.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Beautiful is the right answer. Well done.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Which item of furniture
0:25:30 > 0:25:32is an armoire?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38It's not a table.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- I thought it was a wardrobe. - So did I.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44I was thinking wardrobe.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49Sometimes these terms can be applied differently in different countries,
0:25:49 > 0:25:53but I don't think it's drawers. And it's not a table.
0:25:53 > 0:25:59I think it's a wardrobe. Sometimes there's crossover, but we'll go with wardrobe.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Wardrobe is correct.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Third question.
0:26:05 > 0:26:11Often the key one. A modern style of which common foodstuff was developed in the 1720s
0:26:11 > 0:26:14by a Mrs Clemence of Durham?
0:26:18 > 0:26:23- Mrs Clemence... - I have not the remotest idea.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28- Ketchup...- You'd think Worcestershire sauce is Worcester.
0:26:28 > 0:26:34- Although it's made from anchovies, so...- Ketchup is American. - It's a Dutch thing.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39And mustard is so well-known. I think Worcestershire sauce.
0:26:39 > 0:26:45It's made from anchovies, so somewhere in the sea area... Durham is possible.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50- By the coast.- What do you reckon? - Try Worcestershire sauce.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53We're going to go for Worcestershire sauce.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58And yet you ruled it out because it wasn't from that area. It's not.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- It's mustard.- Oh, no! - It's mustard.- Mustard?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Do we know anything more, Daphne?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07She used to go round
0:27:07 > 0:27:11hawking little pots of paste that she'd made from mustard seed.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Right. Get this and you've won.
0:27:14 > 0:27:21In which British overseas territory does one of the main thoroughfares, Winston Churchill Avenue,
0:27:21 > 0:27:25run directly across the airport's runway?
0:27:29 > 0:27:36- It's not St Helena.- In Gibraltar there is a road that runs across the runway.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41- The airport runway is at the top of the peninsula.- Yeah.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44And the road runs round to Catalan Bay.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49- So I think it's Gibraltar. - I think so.- I think so.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52We think that's Gibraltar.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- Gibraltar is your answer. Not the Falklands?- No.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01Gibraltar is correct. Congratulations. You've won.
0:28:07 > 0:28:14- It can be sudden at the end. - Mustard!- You wouldn't think mustard was developed that late.
0:28:14 > 0:28:20- It's been great to meet you. Good luck with the writing and the dentistry!- Thank you.
0:28:20 > 0:28:27Commiserations. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally. They still reign supreme.
0:28:27 > 0:28:33I'm afraid you won't go home with the £5,000, so that rolls over to our next show.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers can defeat them.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44£6,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
