0:00:04 > 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 > 0:00:14arguably 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 > 0:00:29pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And challenging the awesome might of our quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are the Sausage Skins from Glasgow.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39The team all work for the same
0:00:39 > 0:00:42sausage skin manufacturing company, as well as quizzing.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45At work, team captain Barry has helped to run local quiz nights.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Barry. I'm 55 and director of marketing.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Brian, I'm 32 and I'm an IT support technician.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Neil, I'm 39 and I'm an IT systems manager.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Andrew, I'm 35 and I'm an IT systems analyst.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Derek, I'm 48 and I'm a technical director.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Welcome to you, Sausage Skins.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09I've got a little biog of you all here,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12and it says that you produce enough sausage skins per year
0:01:12 > 0:01:14to stretch to the moon and back over three times.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- True?- That's correct.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Now, is that to the moon, back and to the moon, or the moon and back three times?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22The moon and back three times.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25So six times - moon, back, moon, back, moon, back. OK.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Right, that's a quiz question for the Eggheads. What distance is that?
0:01:28 > 0:01:301.5 million.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Not precisely!
0:01:32 > 0:01:35OK, well, best of luck to you, Sausage Skins.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47So, challengers, the Eggheads have won the last 11 games,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50which means £12,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51So let's give it a go.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Your first head-to-head battle, then, is Geography.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56And as you know, any one of you can take on an Egghead.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- I will take that one. - You take Geography, yeah.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- So who do you think I should play against?- Go for CJ.- CJ first up.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I'm going to take that one, Dermot, and I'm going to play against CJ.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09OK, Brian has been selected by his team,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12and CJ is the chosen challenger.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Would you both please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Brian, you get to choose. Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Can I go second, please?
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Here it comes, CJ.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30What term is used for an imaginary great circle around the Earth
0:02:30 > 0:02:32that passes through the North and South magnetic poles?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38A great circle is a meridian.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Is the right answer. Good start, CJ.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Brian, this is your first question.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Times Square, famous for its New Year's Eve celebrations,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49is a feature of which New York borough?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I've not been, so it's going to have to be a bit of a guess.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I'm going to go with Manhattan.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Manhattan's the right answer. Well done, Brian.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05CJ, Australia's Northern Territory borders
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Western Australia, South Australia and which other state?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Not absolutely sure. It should be Queensland, that's in the northeast.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I'm not sure, but it should be Queensland,
0:03:18 > 0:03:19so I'll go for Queensland.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23OK, it's amazing how good you are the further away it gets.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Queensland is the right answer. OK, you've got two.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Let's see if Brian can make it two as well.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33The name of the Irish city of Cork is derived from a Gaelic word
0:03:33 > 0:03:34with what geographical meaning?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Well, again, I'm not too sure.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I know Cork's in the south of the country,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45and I'm go rule out mountain.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50So, I'm go cross my fingers and say marsh.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53It's the right answer. Well done, Brian.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Marsh is the right answer. CJ, your third question.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Which term refers to a steep-sided mound
0:03:58 > 0:04:02of sand and gravel deposited by a melting ice sheet?
0:04:05 > 0:04:10Not at all sure. I think krummholz is something to do with glaciation.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14It's the only term I think I've heard of
0:04:14 > 0:04:17or I can remotely place, so I will try krummholz.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Krummholz...
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Ah, that's wrong! It's kame.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Listen, serious stuff here, Brian, because
0:04:23 > 0:04:28you book a place in the final round if you get a right answer here.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Vesterbro and Norrebro
0:04:30 > 0:04:33are neighbourhoods in which Scandinavian capital?
0:04:36 > 0:04:41Bit of a guess. They sound Norwegian, so I'm going to plump for Oslo.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Oslo, OK. Can book a place in the final round if this is correct.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Playing for £12,000 today.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Put that on hold. It's not the right answer. CJ?
0:04:51 > 0:04:52I would have gone for Stockholm.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Well, that's good to know that you weren't close. It's Copenhagen.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00Vesterbro and Norrebro. OK. Well, interesting.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Both failing on the third question,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04so we go to Sudden Death, and just to explain, Brian,
0:05:04 > 0:05:06you're not getting any more choices now.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08I've just got to hear a correct answer from you.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I just read a question. CJ's first.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16CJ, the Blackdown Hills are on the border between Somerset
0:05:16 > 0:05:17and which other county?
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Um, I haven't heard of them.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25I've got to try and work out which counties border Somerset.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Dorset?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Begins with a D, but not Dorset. It is Devon.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36OK, well, another chance, Brian.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Let's hope you don't let this one go.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Cayenne is a capital city on which continent?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I believe that's South America.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48It's the right answer. Well done.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Which means, Brian,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53you're in the final round playing for £12,000.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57CJ will not be helping the Eggheads. Please come back and join your teams.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01First blow to the Sausage Skins.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07We move on, then, to our next subject today,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09and this is Film & Television.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Who wants to play this?
0:06:11 > 0:06:15THEY CONFER
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- I'll go for it, yeah. - Who are you going to take?
0:06:21 > 0:06:26Chris or Barry. On the basis of the green shirt, I'll take on Chris.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Scientific choice.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Neil is going to play Chris, then, on Film & Television.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Make your way to the Question Room.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Neil, you get to choose, do you want to go first or second?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I'll go second, please, Dermot.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Ah, I see. Well, it worked for Brian.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Let's hope it works for you, Neil.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Your first question, Chris.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Which actor played the boxer Irish Micky Ward
0:06:52 > 0:06:54in the 2010 film The Fighter?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Never saw it. Never heard of it.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Christian Bale at that time was busy with Batman and stuff, wasn't he?
0:07:03 > 0:07:09And I don't think it's Matt Damon. I have to go with Mark Wahlberg.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Mark Wahlberg.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12It is the right answer.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16It's correct. OK, your first question, Neil.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20The actress Carey Mulligan was born in which country?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I believe she's English,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29but I'm not 100% sure that's her country of birth.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33So on the basis that that's the only thing that's ringing a bell,
0:07:33 > 0:07:34I'm going to go UK.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37OK, playing safe and getting it right. Yes, well done.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Carey Mulligan.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41British. OK.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Chris, the animated character Colonel Hathi
0:07:43 > 0:07:45appears in which Disney film?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Hathi is Hindi for "elephant", and he's in The Jungle Book.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58Once you've got that, not hard to work it out. There we are.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Jungle Book. Colonel Hathi.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02So, two to Chris, and Neil
0:08:02 > 0:08:04playing catch-up with this question.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Who presented the TV series What The Romans Did For Us?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I have to be honest, I have no idea about this.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15I never saw the show.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I don't think it was Kate Humble,
0:08:19 > 0:08:23so on the basis it's then a 50-50, I'll go with...
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Adam Hart-Davis.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Oh... You should see the look on your team-mates' faces.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I'm going to put you out of your misery. They're very happy.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35It's the right answer.
0:08:36 > 0:08:392-2.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Chris, the writer Glenn Chandler
0:08:41 > 0:08:45created which long-running TV crime drama?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Well, A Touch Of Frost was based on novels by RD Wingfield.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57The Bill was a team effort, I think, so it's got to be Taggart.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Both going really strongly here. That's the right answer, Chris.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02It's 3-2 and, Neil,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05you know how important this question is for you.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Which Australian-born actor played
0:09:06 > 0:09:09the leading role in the 1960 film
0:09:09 > 0:09:12based on the HG Wells novel The Time Machine?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19OK, well, I haven't seen the movie,
0:09:19 > 0:09:21so I'll have to try and work this one out.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Leo McKern, I have a feeling, was he Rumpole Of The Bailey?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I don't think he was in that movie.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I think I'm just going to plump for Rod Taylor.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35Quality stuff. That's the right answer. Well worked out, Neil.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38OK, well, 3-3.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Once again it's Sudden Death. Chris, this one's to you.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45The writer Harold Pinter collaborated with which director
0:09:45 > 0:09:48on the films The Servant, Accident and The Go-Between?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51That was Joseph Losey.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54It was! That is the correct answer.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56So, the pressure's now on you, Neil.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01The 1995 television drama Pride And Prejudice,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03and Sense And Sensibility in 2008
0:10:03 > 0:10:07were adapted from Jane Austen novels by which writer?
0:10:09 > 0:10:10I haven't got a clue, Dermot.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I'm just going to have to throw a name from somewhere,
0:10:13 > 0:10:18so I'm going to say Michael Hughes.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Michael Hughes...
0:10:19 > 0:10:23No, it's not, Neil. It's not. It's Andrew Davies.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Andrew Davies. Does it come back now, Neil?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I know the name, yeah.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Well, bad luck. It means
0:10:30 > 0:10:32you're not playing in the final round.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Chris, you will be in the final round. Come back and join your teams.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Chris JUST squeaking through there. That's levelled it up.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43It means both teams have now lost one brain from the final round.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46And so we move on to our third head-to-head today,
0:10:46 > 0:10:47and this one is Science.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Who'd like to play this? Remember, Brian and Neil,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52you've played, so it's down to one of the other three.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- I'll go for it, yeah. - Andrew?- I'll do this one.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58OK, straight in there, Andrew. Now pick an Egghead.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02CJ and Chris have played, so you've got Daphne, Barry or Kevin.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- Daphne.- Daphne.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Go on, Daphne. - Sorry, Daphne. Thank you.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Thought so!
0:11:09 > 0:11:10"Sorry, Daphne"!
0:11:11 > 0:11:15OK, I think you're feeling pretty confident there, Andrew.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Let's put it to the test in the Question Room, then, please.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Could you both make your way there.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Andrew, would you like to go first or second?
0:11:23 > 0:11:27I think I'll break with tradition and go first on this one, thanks, Dermot.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Worked for Brian, didn't work for Neil.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35You're going first this time. Here you go, Andrew.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38What name is given to a small portable computer
0:11:38 > 0:11:40that accepts input through a touch-screen?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Hmm. Well, I think if I got this one wrong, I'd be strung up
0:11:47 > 0:11:50when I got back to work, since I work in IT.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54So based on that, I think I'll choose tablet, thank you.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Tablet's the right answer. Well done. Good start, Andrew,
0:11:56 > 0:11:58and, Daphne, your first question, then.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02What is the variant of the jet engine that has no turbine
0:12:02 > 0:12:05and only operates when high speed is achieved?
0:12:09 > 0:12:15Well, the only one I've heard of is ramjet, so that's my answer.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18And it's the correct one. Well done, Daphne. One each. Back to Andrew.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23In which habitat is the bearded tit most likely to be seen in Britain?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I guess you do get a lot of birds nesting in woodland,
0:12:29 > 0:12:33but something's drawn me towards reedbeds or moorland on this one.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Reedbeds, I think wrens, I think small aquatic birds,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40so I'm going to take a guess and go moorland, but it is a guess, thanks.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42OK, moorland.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Ruling out coniferous woodland, right to do that,
0:12:44 > 0:12:46but it's reedbeds. Of the other two,
0:12:46 > 0:12:48you've chosen the wrong one. Reedbeds.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51OK, well, Daphne,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54a chance to take the lead, then. Your second question.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57The prehistoric creature called the deinotherium
0:12:57 > 0:12:59is most closely related to which living animal?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Oh, dear! No idea.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Elephant.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16You've got it right. Elephant. It's the lead, then, for Daphne.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Means you've got to get this one, then, Andrew.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Spelter is an impure form of which metal?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Now, I have heard this before,
0:13:26 > 0:13:29but whether I'll remember it is another thing entirely.
0:13:30 > 0:13:36Aluminium, you get that by electro-chemical reaction now,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39so if you're making that, you'd hope it would be fairly pure,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42so based on that, I'm going to go with a guess and go with zinc.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Well, you left yourself with zinc or nickel,
0:13:45 > 0:13:47and you've now left yourself with a chance.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49It's the right answer.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Well, just sit back and hope there, Andrew.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Daphne, which hormone is secreted by fat cells in the human body
0:13:59 > 0:14:03and is thought to be associated with feelings of satiety and hunger?
0:14:08 > 0:14:15I'm not sure, but...I think I will try glucaten.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20- Glucagon.- Glucagon, sorry. - OK, gone for that.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Daphne's fickle finger of fate. Has it picked out the right answer?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- You haven't! It's incorrect. - Oh.- It's leptin.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Leptin!- Leptin. Yes.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Well, once again, it's Sudden Death.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34And, Andrew, you know the form, then.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38You're not going to see any more choices, and your question is this.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Which moon or satellite is the only one in the solar system
0:14:42 > 0:14:45that is known to have a dense atmosphere?
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Two years of astronomy and astrophysics back in '94 to '96,
0:14:50 > 0:14:51you'd think I'd remember this.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I'm being drawn to Titan for some reason.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58I'm thinking frozen seas, you see, there's a large satellite
0:14:58 > 0:15:02of one of the gas giants, I believe, that's got frozen seas.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04It's going to have to be an unfortunate guess,
0:15:04 > 0:15:05but I'm going to say...
0:15:08 > 0:15:10..Titan.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11It's the right answer.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Brilliant! OK, well, will it knock Daphne out?
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Daphne, the mathematical constant
0:15:19 > 0:15:22and base of natural logarithms approximately equal
0:15:22 > 0:15:27to 2.71828 is denoted by which letter of the alphabet?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30SHE LAUGHS
0:15:30 > 0:15:33X. I don't know!
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Exit for you! It's incorrect!
0:15:38 > 0:15:40And I wonder, Andrew, do you know?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- I would say it was E.- It is E! E!
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- Oh, I'd never have got that. - Well, you're doubly out, then.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49That was, after your last answer there, Andrew, Titan,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52that was a Titanic performance, without the sinking at the end.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Well done, you! You're in the final round playing for £12,000.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Would you come back and join your teams?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01As it stands now,
0:16:01 > 0:16:04the Eggheads have lost two brains from the final round.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05The Sausage Skins have lost one.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Our last head-to-head before that final round, and it is History.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12And the remaining available players from the Sausage Skins
0:16:12 > 0:16:13are Barry or Derek.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15THEY CONFER
0:16:15 > 0:16:17I'm afraid, Dermot, it's my chance to....
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Shine, Derek.- Shine!
0:16:20 > 0:16:25- Who are you going to choose from Kevin or Barry?- Who do we think?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Go for Barry. - Barry, can we have you, please?
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Yeah, you can have him and keep him!
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Derek and Barry, then, playing History. Into the Question Room, please.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Well, Derek, I hope you're as good at History as Andrew was at Science.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Let's see. Would you like to go first or second?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I would like to go second.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50You kick us off, then, Barry.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52The lands of the Mauryan Empire,
0:16:52 > 0:16:56once ruled over by Ashoka the Great, are in which modern region?
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Ashoka is one of my favourite kings from the whole of history,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07and he was an Indian king of about the third century AD.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10India is the right answer. Well done, Barry.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12OK, first question, Derek.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15In Britain, what name is given to the Communist-led
0:17:15 > 0:17:19guerrilla campaign that began in Malaya in 1948?
0:17:24 > 0:17:31Oh, er... Emergency doesn't sound right to me.
0:17:33 > 0:17:3950-50. I'll go with the Malayan...Crisis.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41OK, 50-50, between Crisis and Conflict.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- It was never going to be right, because it's Emergency.- Oh.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49Malayan Emergency, it was. OK, nothing there, then, for Derek.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Second question going to you, Barry.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Which Elizabethan organised and financed unsuccessful attempts
0:17:55 > 0:18:00to found a colony at Roanoke Island in present-day North Carolina?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I think Francis Drake wasn't the colonising sort.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11He was much more happy in his ship gadding about the world,
0:18:11 > 0:18:13and Martin Frobisher, I believe,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15was looking for the Northwest Passage,
0:18:15 > 0:18:17but the one who tried to finance the colony
0:18:17 > 0:18:18was Sir Walter Raleigh.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Is the right answer. Well done, Barry.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23OK, well, he's got it there, he's 2-0 in the lead,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26which means, Derek, you've got to get a correct answer here.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29The rigorous training called the agoge
0:18:29 > 0:18:32undertaken by young males of the Ancient Greek state of Sparta
0:18:32 > 0:18:34was designed to prepare them for a life as what?
0:18:38 > 0:18:45Well, again, there's none of those answers are jumping out at me.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Oh, I'm going to go warrior, Dermot.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Fearsome warriors, the Spartans.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51It's the right answer. Well done.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Well, let's see if Derek
0:18:56 > 0:18:59can claw this back and get into the final round. A lot has to happen.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03The first part of that jigsaw is Barry has to get this wrong.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08Barry, the arbalest was a powerful medieval variant of which weapon?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I have been asked this question so many times,
0:19:13 > 0:19:16and each time I'm asked it, I get it wrong!
0:19:16 > 0:19:20And I'm ashamed to say that I'm still confused.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25I recognise the word, but let me just have a think about this.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27I don't think it's a crossbow.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29Arbalest.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33And I'm sure in the past I've always said it was a catapult,
0:19:33 > 0:19:34so this time I'll say it's a cannon.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37DERMOT LAUGHS
0:19:37 > 0:19:39I'm laughing. CJ's weeping.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41It's a crossbow, Barry!
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I told you, I just cannot remember this answer!
0:19:45 > 0:19:48We'll ask you in a day's time, and you'll still get it wrong.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Probably.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Well, I mentioned this series of events
0:19:51 > 0:19:54that have to happen for you to get into the final round, Derek.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56One piece has fallen into place there.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59If this falls into place, you've got a real chance.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00You've got to get this.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Which pope sent Augustine on a mission to Britain
0:20:04 > 0:20:06to convert the pagan Anglo-Saxons?
0:20:10 > 0:20:14I'm looking at those three answers. Um...something...
0:20:16 > 0:20:20There's something compelling about Gregory I.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23The first of a line of Gregorys.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24I will go with Gregory I.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27The first in a line of Gregorys, yes.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Some clue there, I suspect, in the number!
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- It's the right answer, Derek!- Oh!
0:20:34 > 0:20:36OK, all square once again.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Four out of four in these head-to-heads into Sudden Death.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Barry, the Prime Minister William Gladstone was born
0:20:43 > 0:20:46in which English city in 1809?
0:20:46 > 0:20:50They're very proud of Gladstone, because he was born in Liverpool.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53You either know it or you don't, and you know it. Liverpool is correct.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55OK, over to you, then, Derek.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00Which famous archaeological site was excavated by Basil Brown
0:21:00 > 0:21:05on the instructions of the landowner Mrs Edith Pretty?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I really don't know the answer.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I'll try Skara Brae in Orkney.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Skara Brae.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17It's not Skara Brae. Barry?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20It's Sutton Hoo, where they found the burial of King Raedwald.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Sutton Hoo is the answer we were looking for,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25which means you nearly got there, Derek,
0:21:25 > 0:21:27but covered yourself in glory with that comeback.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Not to be in the end. You're not in the final round. Come back and join your teams.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36It is time now for the final round,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:40 > 0:21:43won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:21:43 > 0:21:46so it's Neil and Derek from the Sausage Skins,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49and CJ and Daphne from the Eggheads,
0:21:49 > 0:21:50all please leave the studio now.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54So, then, Barry, Brian and Andrew,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57you're playing to win the Sausage Skins £12,000.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58Kevin, Chris and Barry,
0:21:58 > 0:22:01you are playing for something which money cannot buy.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03It is the Eggheads reputation.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07The questions are all General Knowledge.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10You are allowed to confer in this final round.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12So, Sausage Skins, the question is,
0:22:12 > 0:22:16are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- Sausage Skins, would you like to go first or second?- First?- First.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22We'll go first, Dermot, please.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Final round, £12,000 at stake.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Best of luck, guys, here's your first question.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Which figure is sometimes referred to as Old Nick?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- It's the Devil. - The Devil, definitely, yeah.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42We're fairly confident about this, Dermot. We think it's the Devil.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44It certainly is. It's the right answer. Well done.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46One to you, then.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49And, Eggheads, the type of building known as a pagoda
0:22:49 > 0:22:50originated on which continent?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Happy with Asia?- Yeah.- Asia.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Asia's correct. Yes. One each.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Back to the Sausage Skins.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Duke Ellington composed a jazz version of music
0:23:03 > 0:23:06from which Tchaikovsky ballet?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13There's a lot of rhythm and a lot happening in The Nutcracker.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18- A lot of melodies and so forth. - I actually haven't a clue, really.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Yeah. I'm happy to go with Nutcracker.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26I think we're having a difficult one, this, Dermot,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28but we're just going to plump for The Nutcracker.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30The analysis being that there's a lot going on.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36I don't know how, but you got it. Right answer. You've got two.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38The Egghead crackers.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Eggheads, in the Isle of Man, the British monarch
0:23:40 > 0:23:43is officially referred to by which title?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48In the Isle of Man, the British monarch
0:23:48 > 0:23:51is officially referred to by which title?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Known as the Lord of Man, regardless of gender.- Really?- It's Lord of Man.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Lord of Man is the right answer.
0:23:56 > 0:23:592-2.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01And could this win you the money? We'll find out in a moment or two.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Sausage Skins, which British fashion model
0:24:05 > 0:24:08is the daughter of the singer Gavin Rossdale?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Which British fashion model
0:24:13 > 0:24:16is the daughter of the singer Gavin Rossdale?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18THEY CONFER
0:24:19 > 0:24:21The answer's Daisy Lowe, Dermot.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24It's the right answer, yes. Has it won you £12,000?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26The answer to this will decide.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31Eggheads, which author was born Franklin Birkenshaw?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- Hmm.- Hmm.- Hmm.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- We have nothing on this one. - Nothing on this at all.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43I've vaguely heard it somewhere, but I can't remember who it is.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45I don't think it's Fay Weldon.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50I was thinking it was, possibly, but I've got nothing on it.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I've got nothing to go on there at all.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56There's something at the back of my mind that says Fay Weldon.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Oh, right, OK.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00Right.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02I'm trying to think.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06I don't know why, I've just got the nagging... Anyway.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08So we think we might go for... You think maybe...
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Well, it's just an inkling,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13but I can't face the fact that I might have read it...
0:25:15 > 0:25:19OK, we don't know it, as you might have worked out by now.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Sort of thing we should have come across, really, but we'll...
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I don't know. I've just got a nagging doubt about...
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Anyway, we'll go for Fay Weldon.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Fay Weldon. Nagging doubt from Kevin.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Heard Chris say he didn't think it was Fay Weldon,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39so it's all on your inkle, Barry, your inkling.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40And not much of an inkling at that!
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Well, you made Daphne happy behind you. It's the right answer.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Fay Weldon!
0:25:47 > 0:25:48That very nearly got you the money,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50but work to be done.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52You're very familiar with Sudden Death.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55OK, serious stuff, of course, £12,000 at stake.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59In 1999, which author
0:25:59 > 0:26:04co-founded the internet guide and information source known as H2G2?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07For your information, we do need a full answer,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10in that we need a first name and a surname.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Well, never heard of it, first of all.- Yeah.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Tim Berners-Lee's credited for founding the World Wide Web,
0:26:17 > 0:26:18it's certain, but having said that,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21I don't know if you'd class him as an author.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- Would he have written about the internet? - I don't think it's him, somehow.- OK.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- Anything else to go on? - It was in 1999 as well.- Yeah.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33It's not anyone related to Google or these kind of people?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36I can't think why they would be described as an author either.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Um... I think we're going to have to have a punt on this.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- What's the name you said before? - Tim Berners-Lee,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45but I don't know if you'd count him as an author.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Very difficult, Dermot,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49but we're just going to go for Tim Berners-Lee.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Tim Berners-Lee, credited by many people as the founder
0:26:52 > 0:26:56of the internet, but it's not Tim Berners-Lee.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59It's incorrect, Sausage Skins.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Eggheads, do you have any idea, just out of interest?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06I don't think we have, no. Presumably the HG might be initials.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Er, right, well, it would have stumped the Eggheads apart from CJ.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12He is obviously not participating, but, CJ?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15H2G2 comes from Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. It's Douglas Adams.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Very, very good, CJ. It's Douglas Adams.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22It was his attempt to create a guide to life, the universe and everything.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28OK, so it means a chance for the Eggheads to win the game.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Eggheads, who became the Archbishop of York in 2005?
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Who became the Archbishop of York in 2005?
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- Sentamu?- I think so, yeah. Nobody else has.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- No, and there hasn't been one since then, has there?- John Sentamu.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Er, John Sentamu.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50John Sentamu is the right answer. Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59I don't need to tell you - how close was that? How close was that?
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Once question in it. That was it.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Sudden Death in all the head-to-heads.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Everybody here, including Derek and Neil in the Question Room there
0:28:06 > 0:28:10are covering themselves in glory, and very, very close there.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Just Fay Weldon, which Barry just pulled out of somewhere.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16What a great game! I know it's no consolation to you.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20You haven't won the money, but you have missed out by a whisker.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Thank you very much indeed for taking part today in a great game of Eggheads!
0:28:23 > 0:28:27But not to be, there, for the Sausage Skins.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:29 > 0:28:31and their winning streak continues,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Join us next time to see
0:28:38 > 0:28:41if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44£13,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
