0:00:04 > 0:00:07These 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?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Their quiz pedigree is well-known,
0:00:32 > 0:00:34they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:39 > 0:00:41are The Tramlines for Edinburgh.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Now, before our own
0:00:43 > 0:00:46train-loving Chris gets too excited and rushes back into the studio,
0:00:46 > 0:00:50I better explain three of the guys on this team play tennis together,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53and for that reason Tramlines is an apt name.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Why is that, CJ?
0:00:55 > 0:00:57The tramlines are the lines on the side of the court.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59If you ball lands outside you've lost the point
0:00:59 > 0:01:02and I've never seen so many double faults in my life.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Thank you, CJ. Let's meet them.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07I'm Brian, and 53 and I'm a freelance journalist.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Hi, I'm Mark, I'm 30, and I'm an active schools coordinator.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16Hi, I'm RD, and 28, and I'm a customer service representative.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Hi, I'm David, I'm 53,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20and I'm a clinical scientist in the National Health Service.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Hi, I'm Max, I'm 48, and I'm a transport planner.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Brian and team, welcome, great to see you.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Tennis in some way brings you altogether.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Mark, RD and I all play tennis at St Serf's Tennis Club in Edinburgh.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35We know Max through the tennis club as well.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37His sister plays tennis with us,
0:01:37 > 0:01:39and he's a transport planner in Edinburgh,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41and trams has been a big issue.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44David, the fifth member of our team is married to my cousin,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46and a cricketer rather than a tennis player.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Suddenly we've got trams arriving unexpectedly here.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51We thought Tramlines was all about tennis
0:01:51 > 0:01:54but you've got some real trams involved as well.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Perfect. OK. Good luck in this contest.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:59 > 0:02:03for our Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08So, The Tramlines, the Eggheads have won
0:02:08 > 0:02:09the last four games
0:02:09 > 0:02:13which means £5,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16The first head-to-head battle is on History.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Which one of you would like this? - Not me.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Ditto, not me.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- David, is that you?- Is that me?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- It's either you or RD.- OK.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Are you happy with that, David? - Yes, I think so.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30And you got to pick an Egghead now. This is the tricky bit.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Max, what does our research tell us?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35They're all pretty good at History.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38What about Barry?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Good, so David from The Tramlines versus Barry from The Eggheads.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I won't mention that he's won 20 out of 20 History rounds.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Why don't you go to the Question Rooms now?
0:02:48 > 0:02:52So I'll ask each of you three multiple-choice questions on History in turn.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner
0:02:55 > 0:02:56and goes through to the final round.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58The other gets knocked out.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01So, David, do you want the first or second set of questions?
0:03:01 > 0:03:02I think I'll take the first, please.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Here we go and good luck. In which year did the Russian Revolution
0:03:08 > 0:03:11which brought Lenin to power take place?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20OK, I think there were a couple of Russian revolutions.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23One of which was earlier in the century.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28But I think the one we are talking about for Lenin is 1917.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Quite right, 1917 it was. Barry, your question.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Who was President of the USA at the time of the first Moon landing?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Oh, it was Richard Nixon and he came up with a memorable speech
0:03:45 > 0:03:49when he called the astronauts on the phone. He said,
0:03:49 > 0:03:53"Most presidents promise the Moon but I'm the first one to actually deliver it."
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Richard Nixon is right, 1969.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Over to you, David. The battle of Barnet
0:04:00 > 0:04:03was an important engagement in which conflict?
0:04:08 > 0:04:12OK, I'm guessing it's not the Boer Wars.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14This'll be a guess
0:04:14 > 0:04:20but I'm thinking my first instinct is the English Civil War.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22English Civil War. Do you know this, Barry?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25It's the Wars of the Roses.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27The Wars of the Roses is the right answer.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29So, Barry, your question to take the lead.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Where did Prince Albert die in 1861?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39That's an excellent question, I've not heard it before.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41He died of typhoid.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Queen Victoria did like Balmoral very much.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45I'll go for Balmoral.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50No, you're wrong as well, it was Windsor. Windsor Castle.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52So David, little chink of light.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55What was the name of the British diplomat who became
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Acting Secretary-General of the United Nations in 1945?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Erm, I have to say, this will be a complete guess.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11But there is only one name that I have heard of,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14which probably augurs well for it being someone
0:05:14 > 0:05:15that took on such an important role.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18So I would go for Philip Noel-Baker.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21It's not him. Anyone on your team know?
0:05:21 > 0:05:22Arthur Henderson?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24No, it's the other one.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25It's Gladwyn Jebb.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Barry, if you get this right, you've got the round.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Which Empress was assassinated in 1898
0:05:32 > 0:05:35by an Italian anarchist while visiting Geneva?
0:05:42 > 0:05:47Well the Italians and the Austrians had lots of to-dos in that time
0:05:47 > 0:05:50so I think it may have been Elizabeth of Austria.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52You're right, Barry.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54It was Elizabeth of Austria, well done,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56you have taken the round.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Sorry, David, you won't be in the final round.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Do both of you please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06As it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08The Eggheads have lost no brains so far.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10The next subject for you is Sports,
0:06:10 > 0:06:12so who would like this?
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- I think it's RD.- RD, all right, against which Egghead?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18What do you think?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Kevin? Take on Kevin?- I'll try Kevin.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26Right, RD against Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions
0:06:29 > 0:06:30in the Question Room.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I'll ask three questions on Sport in turn. Whoever answers
0:06:33 > 0:06:36the most questions correctly is the winner and goes to the final.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39RD, the first or second set of questions?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I'll take the second set, please, Jeremy.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Kevin, your first question.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Which team won golf's 2010 Ryder Cup?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Yes, a big event because it was held in Wales
0:06:55 > 0:06:58and a very dramatic last-day victory for Europe.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Europe is the right answer. RD,
0:07:03 > 0:07:05at the 2010 Football World Cup,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09extra time consisted of two periods, each lasting how long?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Football, end of the game, it's always 15 minutes each half
0:07:16 > 0:07:18so 15 minutes.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20That's my answer.
0:07:20 > 0:07:2315 minutes is the right answer. One each. Back to you, Kevin.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27In 2003, Roger Federer won his first Wimbledon singles title,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30beating which player in the final?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38I don't actually know it, unfortunately.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43I would think 2003 is possibly a little early for Nalbandian.
0:07:46 > 0:07:52I don't recall Philippoussis getting to a Wimbledon final,
0:07:52 > 0:07:53I may be wrong there.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Marat Safin?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59I think I'm going to have to go for, despite what I said,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I'm going to have to go for Nalbandian.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- Your answer is David Nalbandian? - Yes.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- I can't conjure this one up. - Tramlines?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Philippoussis.- Philippoussis, they all say, the tennis players.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- OK.- So you're wrong there, Kevin. Well, let's see what happens now.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15RD, here's your question.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17In 2009, Usain Bolt
0:08:17 > 0:08:22ran a world best 14.35 seconds for the 150 metres
0:08:22 > 0:08:25during a street race in which city?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34I think the idea of this event was to try and get athletics
0:08:34 > 0:08:38obviously out of the stadiums and into the community a bit more.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42From what I recall I think it was quite wet conditions in Manchester
0:08:42 > 0:08:44that it happened, I'm going to go with Manchester.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Very well done, it was Manchester. Absolutely.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Kevin, back to you, if you get this one wrong
0:08:50 > 0:08:52you are knocked out. In which sport
0:08:52 > 0:08:56are competitors awarded the Pete Rozelle Trophy?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04I'm not having a good day here, because I know this perfectly well,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06but it's not... I'm sure it's not ice hockey.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10But I'm having trouble remembering which of the other two it is.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17I think it was American football. American football.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20American football is your answer,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22and it's correct.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23You're still in there.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25I thought he was gone for a second there, RD.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Yeah, I was hoping so too. - It's never that easy with Kevin.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33If you get this one right you have knocked him out, that will help.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35The Preakness Stakes, one of the American
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Triple Crown of horse racing, is run on which course?
0:09:44 > 0:09:50Right, horseracing is not really a knowledge of mine at all
0:09:50 > 0:09:52and American, even less so.
0:09:52 > 0:09:58So it'll just be a stab in the dark.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01I hope they race at all three, and just going to go...
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Pimlico, no idea, Pimlico Race Course.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Your answer is Pimlico. Who knows?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Anyone?- It's Pimlico, I think.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09You've got it right, RD, well done!
0:10:09 > 0:10:11What about that?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14So Kevin, you are knocked out and RD, you are in the final.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16And your team have a bit of a boost there.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Please both of you rejoin us.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23So as it stands, Challengers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26and the Eggheads have also lost one brain.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Kevin, the next subject is Music.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Who is the musician?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32It might have to be Mark.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Mark, on music, against... It can't be Kevin, can't be Barry.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I'll take Judith on, please.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Mark from The Tramlines against Judith from the Eggheads on music.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Feeling musical today?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Well, you know, Jeremy.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Please go and take your places in the Question Room.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Let's see how you both do.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Three questions, multiple-choice,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55and you can choose, Mark, the first or second set.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I think I'll go second, please, Jeremy.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Judith, your question.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Which Tears for Fears song
0:11:03 > 0:11:05was adapted as a 2010 football anthem
0:11:05 > 0:11:08and taken into the UK charts by Dizzee Rascal
0:11:08 > 0:11:10and James Corden?
0:11:15 > 0:11:19I'm just trying to think which would be best on a football pitch.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Shout, perhaps.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I don't know. Shout.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Shout, it is. It's Shout.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- It is Shout?- You're right.- Hurray.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31OK. She's got one right.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35As you can see, Mark, it's heavy weather on the other side.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Tom Fletcher and Harry Judd became famous as members of which band?
0:11:43 > 0:11:47I'm afraid this won't do my street cred any good whatsoever.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49But I think, I don't want to be
0:11:49 > 0:11:52too confident but I think I know this one.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I'm pretty sure they make up half of McFly.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00McFly is the right answer, well done.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02As you say, your street cred is now...
0:12:02 > 0:12:05At least it wasn't about Justin Bieber, that question.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Judith, in the 16th and 17th centuries,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09the Amati family of Cremona
0:12:09 > 0:12:13were famous for producing which musical instruments?
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Violins.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18- Straight there.- Yep.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20OK.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21You're right.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Mark, which veteran entertainer released the album
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Praise and Blame in 2010?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I certainly know that Tom Jones has released an album.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38He released an album in 2010,
0:12:38 > 0:12:42none of the other two spring to mind anything released recently,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45but I'm going to have to go with Tom Jones.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50Tom Jones is the right answer. So the pressure is on.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Judith, your third question.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Which rapper founded
0:12:53 > 0:12:57the management music publishing and entertainment company,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Roc Nation, in 2008?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07I know Jay-Z is this kind of big businessman,
0:13:07 > 0:13:10but he may have been a big businessman a bit longer.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11But on the other hand,
0:13:11 > 0:13:17it's the only one I know has tremendous business sense, so Jay-Z.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Jay-Zed, as Chris would say.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Jay-Zed, yes, I've done that before myself.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Any Egghead want to comment on that?
0:13:24 > 0:13:25I think she's right.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Yes, you're right,
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Judith, amazingly. I don't mean that. You're right.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Jay-Z.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35OK, so now, you're head to head on Music, Mark,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37with Judith and you have to get this right.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Which classical musician
0:13:38 > 0:13:40is the subject of the book,
0:13:40 > 0:13:41A Genius in the Family?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Genius in the Family.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52For some reason, there is one
0:13:52 > 0:13:55particular answer standing out to me,
0:13:55 > 0:13:59for no other reason than it just appears to be doing that.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03So unfortunately, without any other reason,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I'm going to have to go with Jacqueline du Pre.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Jacqueline Du Pre. Eggheads? - He's right.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- You are quite right, you got it right, well done.- No idea how.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Three out of three for both of you.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20So we go now to Sudden Death. It's that bit more difficult because I don't give you options,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22you have got to give me the answer.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Here is your question, are you ready?
0:14:24 > 0:14:28The musical All the Fun of the Fair is based on the songs
0:14:28 > 0:14:32of which English singer who had his first UK hit single in 1973?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Erm, I don't know, Cat Stevens.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39No. Anyone?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- David Essex?- David Essex.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Mark, you can take it if you get this one right.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48"A few questions that I need to know,
0:14:48 > 0:14:49"how you could ever hurt me so",
0:14:49 > 0:14:56are the opening lines to which 1997 UK number one single for All Saints?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I'm pretty sure it's Never, Ever.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Never, Ever is the right answer. Well played, Mark. Very, very good.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Judith, you have been knocked out,
0:15:06 > 0:15:07I'm sorry to say,
0:15:07 > 0:15:11although not a bad effort either at all from our Egghead.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14That means another of the Challengers will be in the final.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21As it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25The Eggheads have now lost two brains. Game on, as they say.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27The last subject is Science.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Which of the Challengers would like that?
0:15:29 > 0:15:33This is where it's all gone a bit wrong. It was supposed to be David.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Are we going for that then? Are you going to take that one?
0:15:37 > 0:15:38- I'll take that.- Max, OK.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Against which Egghead?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Pat, we'll go for Pat.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Max from The Tramlines versus Pat from the Eggheads on Science.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Take your positions in the Question Room.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Pat versus Max. Three questions, multiple-choice,
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Max, the first or second set?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I'll try going for the first ones, please.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05And here we go. The word hepatic refers to which part of the body?
0:16:08 > 0:16:13Pretty sure that's not going to be the heart or the lung.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I'll go for the liver, please, Jeremy.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Well done, liver it is, Max,
0:16:19 > 0:16:21one point to you. Pat.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Gonepteryx rhamni
0:16:24 > 0:16:27is the scientific name for the Brimstone,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29a variety of which creature?
0:16:32 > 0:16:36My first thought is butterfly, you get a bit spooked by beetles,
0:16:36 > 0:16:41simply because they are hundreds of thousands of different beetles.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44There are yellowish birds as well.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48But the best-known Brimstone is a butterfly.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Yes, you have got it, it's the right answer, butterfly.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Max, which building in London is home to
0:16:55 > 0:17:00the Royal Society of Chemistry, and the Royal Astronomical Society?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Bush House is a BBC building.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11British Library houses the British Library,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14so I guess is going to have to be Burlington House.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Well done, it is Burlington House.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Pat, your question.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23Which acid found in apples and grapes is also known as E296?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I think I can dismiss acetic.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Butyric acid
0:17:34 > 0:17:40has something to do with vines, that's a slight concern.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45But the classic acid one would link with an apple is malic acid,
0:17:45 > 0:17:46so I'll go for that.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Unerring use of logic and malic acid, it is.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53You are equal, two points each. Third question,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Max, get this right, put some pressure on.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Baud is a unit used for measuring the speed of what?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08I'm going to have to have a guess at this one, I think.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Not a term I've heard of.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15I'll go for electronic communication data.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Nice one, you're right. Really well done.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20You've got three, if Pat doesn't get three
0:18:20 > 0:18:24he will be out. Your team is playing really well.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Pat, what was the name of the American who, in the 1930s,
0:18:26 > 0:18:30first discovered radio waves emanating from space?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38This could go bad on me, it could be David H Levy,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41but I'm going to have to go with Karl Jansky.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45You got the answer right, well done. Karl Jansky it is.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Three points each in the Science round.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48We go to Sudden Death.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Gets harder, Max, I don't give you alternatives.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Here we go.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56In the late 1970s, the US series of Pioneer probes
0:18:56 > 0:18:59came to an end with Pioneer 12 and 13,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02both sent to observe which planet?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Would that be Jupiter?
0:19:05 > 0:19:06No,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09it actually dropped four probes into the atmosphere of Venus.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Venus was the answer.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Pat, this for the round.
0:19:14 > 0:19:20Which device devised by CTR Wilson in 1911
0:19:20 > 0:19:24was the first instrument to detect the tracks of atomic particles?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29I think I'll have to go for cloud chamber.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Let's check with the Eggheads.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Yes, cloud chamber. - Yes, they are agreeing with you
0:19:34 > 0:19:36and you're right. Cloud chamber it is.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Pat, well done. Max, well fought, but you've not made the final.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43If you both come back to us, we'll play it.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45This is what we have been playing towards,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48time for the final round which as always is General Knowledge.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads
0:19:51 > 0:19:53won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56So David and Matt from The Tramlines,
0:19:56 > 0:19:58and Judith and Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01would you please now leave the studio.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06So Brian, Mark and RD, you are playing to win The Tramlines £5,000.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Barry, Pat and CJ,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10you are playing for something money can't buy,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17The questions are all General Knowledge,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19and you are allowed to confer.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22So Brian, Mark and RD, the question is
0:20:22 > 0:20:25are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:20:25 > 0:20:27And Tramlines, first or second?
0:20:27 > 0:20:31We've gone first twice and lost, we've gone second twice and won.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33So we'll stick with the radical notion of going second.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40OK, Eggheads, here we go, final round and you are going first.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Events surrounding which legendary figure
0:20:43 > 0:20:45are said to have caused the Trojan War?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- Helen?- Helen?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54I think we're happy with Helen.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Helen of Troy. You're right. Helen is the correct answer.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59OK, Tramlines, your first question.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04Giles Coren and Jay Rayner found fame as critics of what?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Restaurants.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13We are all happy that it is restaurants.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Restaurants.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Restaurants is the right answer.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Eggheads,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22what was the name of the Kenyan hotel
0:21:22 > 0:21:24where Princess Elizabeth was staying
0:21:24 > 0:21:28when she heard the news of the death of her father, King George VI?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Treetops?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35That's Treetops, Jeremy.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Treetops is the right answer.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Here's your question.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45Which Cardinal was beatified at a mass held in Birmingham
0:21:45 > 0:21:48during the Pope's visit to Britain in 2010?
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Basil Hume, I think, is too recent.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- 2010.- It was 2010.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03No, I think he is too recent in history.
0:22:03 > 0:22:09I wonder if I have seen John Henry Newman in the news recently.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15I know there was the woman that became the saint,
0:22:15 > 0:22:22fast-tracked sainthood for John Paul II.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Is it John Henry Newman? I'm not certain,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27that would be my guess.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28John Henry Newman.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32John Henry Newman is correct. Well done.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36So, Eggheads, your third question.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39In which country is Amharic one of the main languages?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Presumably Ethiopia.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Can't be the other two, Amharic is an East African language.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- Definitely Ethiopia.- Ethiopia.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54It's got to be Ethiopia.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Ethiopia is the correct answer.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01OK, if you get this wrong, the contest is over.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04If you get it right we go to Sudden Death.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08Here we go, Tramlines - a statue to Tommy Cooper
0:23:08 > 0:23:12erected in 2008 in his home town of Caerphilly
0:23:12 > 0:23:14was unveiled by which actor?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Well, obviously they're all Welsh.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Hopkins is Port Talbot, the same as Richard Burton.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Caerphilly...
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I thought it was Anthony Hopkins.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35He would be more of the kind of...
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I feel like he did do some statue.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Obviously Jonathan Pryce is pretty famous.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Jonathan Pryce is pretty famous, I think he's done lighter stuff.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45But does that mean anything?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I think Hopkins.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Anthony Hopkins.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Just like that, it's gone.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Your answer is Anthony Hopkins. - Just like that.- Just like that.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Eggheads?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- I attended it.- You were there?
0:23:58 > 0:23:59I attended the ceremony.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Which actor was it?
0:24:01 > 0:24:02It was Anthony Hopkins.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Anthony Hopkins is the right answer, well done. Anthony Hopkins it is.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08So you have three points each,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11and we go to Sudden Death. £5,000 on the table. Eggheads.
0:24:11 > 0:24:17Ed McMahon was from 1962 to 1992 the announcer for
0:24:17 > 0:24:21and sidekick of which American chat show host?
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Normally associated with Johnny Carson, I think.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28'92 he finished, you say?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Ed McMahon was from 1962 to 1992 the announcer for
0:24:31 > 0:24:34and sidekick of which American chat show host?
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- I've always associated Ed McMahon with Johnny Carson.- Fair enough.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- And that's quite a long time, isn't it?- And he ran for a long time.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44I think '92 was the Johnny Carson finished the Tonight show.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47OK, are we happy with that?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- Yes.- Yes.- Johnny Carson.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Johnny Carson is correct.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Here's your question.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57If you get this wrong, the contest is over.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00Which Hollywood actor was born
0:25:00 > 0:25:05Bernard Schwartz in the Bronx in 1925?
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- Something in my mind tells me it's Tony Curtis.- Bronx.
0:25:09 > 0:25:15I know that he was a New Yorker.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20How old was he... He's just died in the not too distant past,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23how old was he when he died? Can anyone remember?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26My gut feeling is that this is Tony Curtis.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Go with it then.- Tony Curtis.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Tony Curtis is correct.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Well done, Brian.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Back to you, Eggheads. Sudden Death.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37In March 2009,
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Mauricio Funes was elected president of which country?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Sounds faintly Portuguese.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Who's the Portuguese president?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- I don't know.- Don't know.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Could be Hispanic, obviously, as well. They're not that far apart.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56In which case you have all of South America to play with,
0:25:56 > 0:25:57and Central America.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Can you spell the forename, please?
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Mauricio Funes,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03M-A-U-R-I-C-I-O, Mauricio,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Funes, FUNES.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08It does sound Portuguese.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- I've heard the name.- Brazil maybe.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14I think if was Brazil, we'd know it.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- It's not Brazil.- I think we have to go for Portugal, don't we?
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Hope for the best.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22It sounds more Portuguese than Spanish.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24It definitely does, yes.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27We have a couple of hints, so we'll try Portugal.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Portugal is wrong.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29It's El Salvador.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34Couple of hints. Hinting in the wrong direction. So, here we are,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Tramlines, if you get this right
0:26:36 > 0:26:38you've taken £5,000.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40And beaten them out of sight.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Which English poet wrote a pamphlet entitled
0:26:44 > 0:26:46The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce
0:26:46 > 0:26:49shortly after his first wife left him?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51It doesn't sound recent.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54It sounds like we're back in history.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59Either that or it is somebody with a very close attachment to the church
0:26:59 > 0:27:02who would still be using that sort of antiquated language.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Nobody these days would write a pamphlet called
0:27:04 > 0:27:06The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07No, I certainly wouldn't.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10But, John Betjeman is the sort of guy
0:27:10 > 0:27:12that might have got divorced
0:27:12 > 0:27:17and might have written a pamphlet with this sort of title.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21I think Brian is going to have to choose?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- John Betjeman.- Go with it, Brian, if you think...
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Can we think of anybody... Milton?
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Well, Paradise Lost, Paradise Gained.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- What's his first name?- John.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- John Milton.- Is that too far back?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Is he more known for his writing...?
0:27:38 > 0:27:41John Milton, John Betjeman?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Paradise Lost has the...
0:27:44 > 0:27:47At least it's got the religious connection.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49What you think, Milton or Betjeman?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- I like...- You like?
0:27:51 > 0:27:54I do kind of like the Milton...
0:27:54 > 0:27:55John Milton.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Your answer is?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59John Milton.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00OK.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03You got the right answer, John Milton it is.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Congratulations, Challengers, you've won!
0:28:09 > 0:28:10High five!
0:28:10 > 0:28:11We'll stick with the handshake.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Brian, you should be a detective.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16The way in which you just tracked down
0:28:16 > 0:28:18every answer was stupendous to watch.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20I could see them in front of me
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- and I thought this guy is going to get there.- Eventually.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Yes, but you did it brilliantly.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Congratulations to our Challengers. You've won £5,000.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32You have proved they can be beaten.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Join us next time on Eggheads
0:28:34 > 0:28:37to see if a new team of challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Until then, congratulations again, and goodbye.
