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 > 0:00:15arguably 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 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Challenging our resident quiz champions today are...

0:00:36 > 0:00:39This team are all work colleagues at Warrington Borough Council

0:00:39 > 0:00:42except for Paul in the middle, who's married to Angela.

0:00:42 > 0:00:43Let's meet them.

0:00:43 > 0:00:48Hello, I'm Ann, I'm 42 and I'm a families information assistant.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm Angela. I'm 43 and I'm a family adviser.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Paul, I'm 48 and I'm a materials technician.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Katy, I'm 26 and I'm a choice adviser.

0:00:59 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Joanne, I'm 40 years old and I'm an outreach worker.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07- So, Ann and team, welcome. - Hello, thank you.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10- And, apart from Paul, all at the Council?- We are, yes.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Is that fun? Enjoy it?

0:01:12 > 0:01:15Yes, we do work hard but always have time for a cup of tea

0:01:15 > 0:01:19- and a bit of a chat.- And any quizzing practice going on behind the scenes?

0:01:19 > 0:01:22Across the office, sometimes, we do.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25- We tend to bounce back and forth off each other.- Sure.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27And the whole grey cells thing was Hercule Poirot, wasn't he?

0:01:27 > 0:01:29He was the Agatha Christie detective.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31- He's the one who says "It's the little grey cells."- Yes.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33I hope yours are working really, really well.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36Good luck against our Eggheads. Every day there is £1,000

0:01:36 > 0:01:38worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:01:40 > 0:01:44the prize money rolls over to the next show. So, Does Grey Matter,

0:01:44 > 0:01:47the Eggheads have been on quite a run recently, they've won

0:01:47 > 0:01:51the last ten, which means £11,000 says you can't beat them today.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53How about that? We're in five figures, easily.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02- Which grey cell do you want to send in on this one?- I think Paul.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Yes, Paul's good at politics. - I'll take Politics on.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06OK, Paul on Politics, against which Egghead?

0:02:06 > 0:02:08You can have any one of these five.

0:02:08 > 0:02:13I think I've come up with a new name for Daphne. It's Lucky Pick Daphne.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16So I'd like to go against Lucky Pick Daphne, if possible.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Because she's constantly choosing the right answer?

0:02:18 > 0:02:21I know what you mean. We wonder at her, we really do.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24OK, so Paul from Does Grey Matter versus Lucky Pick Daphne

0:02:24 > 0:02:27from the Eggheads. Please go to the Question Room now.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Three multiple-choice questions on Politics and Paul, you can choose

0:02:32 > 0:02:34the first or the second set. Whoever gets the most right

0:02:34 > 0:02:36goes through to the final round.

0:02:36 > 0:02:37I'd like to go first, please.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42OK, here we go, Paul. Good luck to you.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45Who became Secretary Of State for education in 2010?

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Think I've got an idea for this one.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54And I don't think it's Iain Duncan Smith.

0:02:55 > 0:03:01I'm not certain of Michael Gove, so I'll say Theresa May.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04As a matter of fact, it's Michael Gove, who's been doing

0:03:04 > 0:03:08the whole Academy thing, extending that Tony Blair policy.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11So Michael Gove is the answer, not Theresa May, Paul.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Daphne, over to you, Lucky Pick Daphne.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17The referendum held in May 2011 on the UK's voting system

0:03:17 > 0:03:20asked voters to consider changing the first-past-the-post system

0:03:20 > 0:03:21to which other?

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Alternative Vote.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Alternative Vote or AV is the correct answer.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36Daphne, well done. Only about four people in the country

0:03:36 > 0:03:38who understand how it works.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41- I won't ask you.- No. I don't.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Paul, in the House of Commons, the speaker customarily

0:03:44 > 0:03:47calls for a vote, also known as a division, by announcing

0:03:47 > 0:03:49"clear the..." What?

0:03:53 > 0:03:55I'm not quite sure on this.

0:03:55 > 0:04:00Taking a stab at this one, because, like I say, I'm not 100% certain.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04I should imagine it would be the lobbies.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07You're bang-on, Paul, it is lobbies. Clear the lobbies. Well done.

0:04:09 > 0:04:10OK, Daphne, your question.

0:04:10 > 0:04:15Who was leader of the Italian Socialist Party from 1976 to 1993?

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Not Mario Monti.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26I'm tossing up between the other two.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30I think you put the kibosh on it so the lucky dip will be wrong.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34I'm going to go for...

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Bettino Craxi.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40To quote Ronald Reagan, "There you go again."

0:04:40 > 0:04:43You got it right. Bettino Craxi it is.

0:04:44 > 0:04:45Lucky dip.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47I thought you'd done a brilliant stroke there,

0:04:47 > 0:04:49and completely put her off.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52But the computer is still powering away.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Whom did Clement Attlee appoint as Foreign Secretary

0:04:55 > 0:04:58after the 1945 general election?

0:05:03 > 0:05:05It is a bit before my time.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08So, having a look at it,

0:05:08 > 0:05:13and the most common name I can pick from there is Ernest Bevin.

0:05:13 > 0:05:18So on that basis, I will choose Ernest Bevin.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22Ernest Bevin is the right answer. Playing really well.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Two each, but because Paul dropped one, Daphne,

0:05:26 > 0:05:28if you get this right, you'll be in the final.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30The former British prime minister, Ramsay MacDonald,

0:05:30 > 0:05:33died at sea in 1937 en route to which continent?

0:05:38 > 0:05:40I think...

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Why do I think this?

0:05:43 > 0:05:48I think he was going to South America.

0:05:48 > 0:05:53- Why do you think that? You don't know, do you?- No. It's just...

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Lucky pick.

0:05:56 > 0:06:01I think I remember something and thinking, why is he going there?

0:06:01 > 0:06:04- And it's right, isn't it? - It's right.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06South America is correct. Sorry, Paul.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09She's lived up to her reputation, hasn't she? And knocked you out.

0:06:09 > 0:06:10But you played well.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Daphne, you'll be in the final round and Paul won't.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Please, both of you come back and rejoin your team-mates.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20As it stands, the challengers have lost a brain from the final round.

0:06:20 > 0:06:24The Eggheads are still intact. The next subject is Arts and Books.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Which of you would like this?

0:06:26 > 0:06:29In discussion, we chose Joanne or Angela.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Joanne or Angela for Arts and Books. - So which of you is feeling confident?

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Which one of you two would like to do it?

0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Would you like to do this one, Angela?- Angela.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39OK, against which Egghead?

0:06:40 > 0:06:44Chris, I fancy Chris, I know Chris knows a lot about trains and that,

0:06:44 > 0:06:47but I don't know whether he'd know a lot on other Arts and Books.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Yeah, I'll take Chris on.- You'll take Chris?- I'll take Chris.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54OK, Angela from Does Grey Matter versus Chris from the Eggheads.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Three questions on Arts and Books.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Whoever answers the most questions correctly wins.

0:07:02 > 0:07:06- Angela, you can choose the first or second set.- I'll go first, please.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Here we go, and good luck to you, Angela.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12What is the word for a list of mistakes

0:07:12 > 0:07:15and their corrections attached to a printed book?

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Never, never heard of this one.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26Rejecta means you're rejecting...

0:07:27 > 0:07:30..the mistakes.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34Problema means you've got problems.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37I'll just go for the middle one, for rejecta.

0:07:37 > 0:07:38OK. You're going for rejecta.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41I thought you were going to go left for a second there.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44It's errata. It's errata.

0:07:45 > 0:07:46OK, Chris, your question.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50What term is usually used to refer to the front of a theatre stage?

0:07:53 > 0:07:57That is, well, it's the apron, so it's downstage.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Downstage is correct. Angela, back to you.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Which war is central to the plot of Nevil Shute's novel,

0:08:04 > 0:08:05A Town Like Alice?

0:08:11 > 0:08:16Sorry, I really, really wouldn't hazard a guess.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Crimean War.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Anyone here on the team read it?

0:08:20 > 0:08:23- I've seen it.- Seen it, yeah.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Set in Australia, isn't it? - He's an Australian writer, yeah.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29- And Alice is a town in Australia, yeah.- So I think it's World War II.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32It is, World War II is the answer, Angela.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35Chris, your question and if you get this right, you've got the round.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Which painter did Margaret Thatcher reportedly describe as

0:08:38 > 0:08:41"That man who paints those dreadful pictures"?

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Damien Hirst does things with dead animals

0:08:47 > 0:08:49so it's not likely to be him.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54I would think David Hockney would rather appeal to

0:08:54 > 0:08:57Margaret Thatcher but Francis Bacon paints those rather

0:08:57 > 0:09:00disturbing paintings, so I'll go with Francis Bacon.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02The Screaming Pope, and all that.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05You're absolutely right, it's Francis Bacon. Chris, well done.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08You've got two right. Sorry, Angela, you've been knocked out.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11No way back. Never fear, your team can turn it around.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Please, both of you return to us here in the studio.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains,

0:09:17 > 0:09:20the Eggheads have lost no brains so far from the crucial final round.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24The next subject for you is Sport. Who wants this one?

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Don't say this was your one, Paul, was it?

0:09:27 > 0:09:30- That's the reason we brought Paul along.- I was brought for sport.

0:09:30 > 0:09:35- And you did politics?- No-one else wanted to do politics, so...- OK.

0:09:35 > 0:09:40- So what do we do?- Right, we have a back up for Sport.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44- And that's Katy.- So who would you like to go against, Katy?

0:09:44 > 0:09:45I think we'll go against Barry.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47OK, so Katy from Does Grey Matter versus

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Barry from the Eggheads on Sport.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Please both of you go to the Question Room now.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56So, Katy, you said at the start you were a choice adviser

0:09:56 > 0:09:59- and I was wondering what that exactly was.- I am.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02I help support families whose children are transferring

0:10:02 > 0:10:05from nursery to primary, or primary to secondary school.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07You give them guidance about where they can go and all that?

0:10:07 > 0:10:10I do, yes, about what schools are available and just supporting

0:10:10 > 0:10:13- with the process, really. - That must be very satisfying.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15It's a really, really good job.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19- I know you like photography in your spare time.- I do. I've recently

0:10:19 > 0:10:22worked on my stepbrother's wedding, which was fantastic.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26- Have you done any sports photography?- I haven't, no.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28- I wish I had now. - Here we go with Sport.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Three questions and you can choose the first or the second set.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33I'll go first, please, if that's OK.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Of course it is, and here we go.

0:10:38 > 0:10:42Which women's artistic gymnastics event is performed to music?

0:10:47 > 0:10:50I think I know this one.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54Yes, I remember watching this on the TV.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56I think I'm going to go down the middle

0:10:56 > 0:10:59and I'm going to go with floor exercise.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02You're spot on, well done, Katy, floor exercise.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05I don't know what music it would be if it was the vault,

0:11:05 > 0:11:07what would that be?

0:11:07 > 0:11:11Jump by Van Halen or something. Barry, your question.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Who did Barry Hearn describe as a "silly little boy"

0:11:14 > 0:11:16after the player had criticised him

0:11:16 > 0:11:20for shortening matches in the UK Snooker Championship?

0:11:23 > 0:11:25I've not heard this quote.

0:11:25 > 0:11:29I can't imagine he would describe Peter Ebdon like that.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32So I'm afraid this is going to be a guess between Stephen Lee

0:11:32 > 0:11:33and Mark Allen.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36Really don't know, so I shall plump for Stephen Lee.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39And you really don't know, cos it's Mark Allen.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42You're ahead, Katy, how about that? Hold the lead, hold the lead.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Here we go. Sport question for you.

0:11:44 > 0:11:48What name, translating into English as "the way of the bow",

0:11:48 > 0:11:51is given to the traditional form of Japanese archery?

0:11:56 > 0:12:00Right. I'm afraid I don't know this one. Let me have a look.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04I think I'm going to...

0:12:05 > 0:12:10..think I'm going to go left, please, if that's OK. It's a complete guess.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Yes, Bojutsu, please.

0:12:12 > 0:12:17- Is not the right answer, I'm afraid. It's Kyudo.- OK.- Kyudo.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Barry, here's your question.

0:12:20 > 0:12:24Who was appointed English cricket captain in 1949 for a test match

0:12:24 > 0:12:26against India, the country of his birth?

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Ray Illingworth is a Yorkshireman and I'm pretty certain

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Colin Cowdrey was born in England.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41But I believe... Oh, hang on, I'm just having second thoughts now.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Was Ted Dexter born in India or Italy?

0:12:43 > 0:12:45No, I believe it was Ted Dexter.

0:12:46 > 0:12:50You're wrong again, it's not Ted Dexter, it's Colin Cowdrey.

0:12:50 > 0:12:55- He was born in Italy, then.- Get this right, Katy, you've blown him away.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58In 2011, Malky Mackay took over as manager

0:12:58 > 0:13:01of which championship football team?

0:13:05 > 0:13:09I'm going to have to guess again. Malky Mackay...

0:13:11 > 0:13:14I don't think it's Cardiff.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Can I go with...

0:13:18 > 0:13:20..Ipswich Town, please?

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Ipswich Town is your answer.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25I'm going to go to Paul for the answer here. Paul, he's in pain.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28It's Cardiff city, he took over from Dave Jones.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31Took over from Dave Jones in Cardiff city.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34- Oh, OK.- Katy, Cardiff is the right answer.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36So Barry has a bit of a window here.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39If you get this right, Barry, we go to Sudden Death.

0:13:39 > 0:13:44In 2008, the Czech Republic's Barbora Spotakova

0:13:44 > 0:13:47set a new world record in which athletics event?

0:13:50 > 0:13:54All the world records in the last few years in the pole vault have

0:13:54 > 0:13:57been by Isinbayeva, so I'm sure it wasn't the pole vault.

0:13:58 > 0:14:02I think the javelin record may be currently held by a Finn,

0:14:02 > 0:14:04so I'm going to go for high jump.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08- OK.- If I get this wrong, I AM for the high jump.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12Daphne, would you know the answer here? She's looking animated.

0:14:12 > 0:14:17I thought she got the high jump record.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19Barbora is a she, we've agreed on that.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22- You think it's high jump? - Yes.- Anyone else know? Paul?

0:14:22 > 0:14:25- I thought it was a pole vault. - Pole vault.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27I'll go for javelin to complete the set.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30Pat, you're incredible, it's javelin.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Javelin is the answer. Well done, Katy.- Thank you.

0:14:33 > 0:14:37- You've scored a six there, you've knocked him out the park.- Thank you.

0:14:37 > 0:14:38So you'll be in the final.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Barry, the three red crosses. Oh, dear.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46- I really should have known Colin Cowdrey.- Oh, dear.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48Please, both of you come back, rejoin your teams.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52So, as it stands, the challengers have lost two brains,

0:14:52 > 0:14:55the Eggheads have now lost a brain. Well done, Katy. Brilliant work.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58The last subject before the final is Music.

0:14:58 > 0:15:02Have you got a plan? Joanne or Ann?

0:15:02 > 0:15:05Joanne? Which one? You want me to do it? Want music?

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Or do you want to it? Do you feel confident doing music?

0:15:07 > 0:15:11- I'm very... I'm happy to do, yeah. - OK.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15I'm not saying I'm very happy, but I'm happy to do music.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19And which grey matter on this side are we going to go for?

0:15:23 > 0:15:27Do you want to take the new Egghead on? Tremendous Knowledge Dave.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29The lesser-known Dave.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32I've seen Pat in action and I kind of have this feeling that Pat

0:15:32 > 0:15:36really, very often gets everything right, so I'm not confident.

0:15:36 > 0:15:40- I'm sorry, Dave.- No, I'm not taking any offence at all, don't worry.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42I'm more confident because I'm not familiar.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45I just want to beat a Man United fan, that'll make my day.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47OK, so it's going to be Joanne from Does Grey Matter?

0:15:47 > 0:15:49and you're taking on Tremendous Knowledge.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.

0:15:52 > 0:15:56And to ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58OK, let's see what comes up in our Music round, then.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Joanne, you can choose the first or the second set of questions.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03I'd like to go first, please.

0:16:07 > 0:16:08Here's your first question, Joanne.

0:16:08 > 0:16:13Where was the music manager and talent show judge Louis Walsh born?

0:16:15 > 0:16:18I'm quite happy with this question.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23I've watched many of the series of the talent shows that

0:16:23 > 0:16:29he's part of, and I know that his accent isn't Scottish.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32So I don't think I'm going to go with Scotland.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34I think he sounds just a touch Irish,

0:16:34 > 0:16:38so I think I will go with Ireland, please.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40Ireland is the right answer, well done.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45Dave, which singer recorded the album Come Fly With Me,

0:16:45 > 0:16:46released in 1958?

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Well...

0:16:53 > 0:16:55Perry Como and Jim Reeves I'm ruling out.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58I think it is the chairman of the board, Frank Sinatra.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02Frank Sinatra is the right answer. Come Fly With Me.

0:17:02 > 0:17:03Joanne,

0:17:03 > 0:17:07James Hetfield became famous as the lead singer of which

0:17:07 > 0:17:09American heavy-metal group?

0:17:13 > 0:17:16I'm just trying to think. I've heard of all of them.

0:17:16 > 0:17:21I'm just trying to kind of think, maybe the question would be about

0:17:21 > 0:17:26the group that's the biggest group, the most successful of the groups.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28And...

0:17:28 > 0:17:33I'm feeling that the one that's calling out to me that might be the

0:17:33 > 0:17:39biggest one out of them that I know of is going to be Metallica, please.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41I like your logic, you're absolutely right,

0:17:41 > 0:17:45Metallica it is. Well done.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48Tremendous Knowledge Dave. Fire, released in 1981,

0:17:48 > 0:17:51was which group's debut UK top 40 single?

0:17:56 > 0:18:00I think it's too early for either Simple Minds or The Alarm

0:18:00 > 0:18:06because U2 came over, I think it was about 1978 they were formed,

0:18:06 > 0:18:11and then started coming into prominence in the early '80s.

0:18:11 > 0:18:16But I think Fire would be from probably Boy, the album.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Yeah, I think Fire's U2.

0:18:19 > 0:18:20U2 is the right answer.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Joanne. Which two prime ministers

0:18:24 > 0:18:27are mentioned in the Beatles' song, Taxman?

0:18:35 > 0:18:39Taxman...I haven't heard it.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41And normally I'm quite good at figuring out

0:18:41 > 0:18:44if I know a melody of something that I've heard,

0:18:44 > 0:18:48I can sometimes fit the names into the melody.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51But I don't, so I can't.

0:18:54 > 0:18:59I'm going to kind of rule out Churchill and Attlee

0:18:59 > 0:19:04because they're an earlier era than The Beatles were.

0:19:04 > 0:19:09Wilson and Heath kind of around the

0:19:09 > 0:19:13time that the Beatles were recording.

0:19:13 > 0:19:19Eden and Macmillan, think that's quite a while ago, as well.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22So I'm going to hope that, based on the era,

0:19:22 > 0:19:25I'm going to go for the answer of Wilson and Heath.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28I think it's...

0:19:28 > 0:19:32HE SINGS MELODY

0:19:32 > 0:19:36Anyway, it says Wilson and Health so you're absolutely right, well done.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38# Oh, it's the taxman. #

0:19:38 > 0:19:40It's always down to me to sing things and I can't sing,

0:19:40 > 0:19:43that's the trouble. Dave, Tremendous Knowledge,

0:19:43 > 0:19:45here's your question.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48The piva is an Italian version of which musical instrument?

0:19:52 > 0:19:55I haven't got a clue.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Not getting anything at all from that.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01Just because

0:20:01 > 0:20:04there are different types of bagpipes around the world,

0:20:04 > 0:20:08I'm going to go with bagpipes, down the middle, and hope for the best.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11Yeah, you've got it, actually. Bagpipe is correct. Well done.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14Bit of relief for Dave there. So you go to Sudden Death, Joanne.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17Well done, three out of three, well done, brilliant.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20And it gets a bit harder because I don't give you alternatives.

0:20:20 > 0:20:21Are you ready?

0:20:21 > 0:20:26Which group reached the UK top 10 in 1978 with their song Le Freak?

0:20:28 > 0:20:30I'm happy with this.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32It's Chic.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34It is Chic, Le Freak. Well done.

0:20:37 > 0:20:38Dave, this to stay in the round.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42"When I'm stuck with the day that's grey and lonely, I just stick

0:20:42 > 0:20:48"out my chin and grin and say" are lines from a song in which musical?

0:20:48 > 0:20:53I've not got a clue on this.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55I'm going to go Oklahoma!

0:20:55 > 0:20:58Oklahoma! is your answer. If you got it wrong, you've been knocked out.

0:20:58 > 0:21:03- Daphne will know this.- I don't.- You don't know it?- I'm trying to think.

0:21:03 > 0:21:04Anybody?

0:21:04 > 0:21:09- I might be wrong, is it Annie?- You're right, Katy. Annie is the answer.

0:21:09 > 0:21:13- How do you know that, Katy? - I loved the film when I was younger.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16Is it "The sun'll come out tomorrow"? Is it that one?

0:21:16 > 0:21:19- Is that "The sun'll come out tomorrow"?- Yeah, I'm sure it is.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23- Dave, it was from Annie. - Yes.- Joanne.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26We started with Ann or Joanne and had a plan

0:21:26 > 0:21:28and now the answer is Annie and Joanne's in the final.

0:21:28 > 0:21:32- How about that? And Dave's been knocked out.- Little orphan Dave.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36If you both come back to us, we will play the final round.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39This is what we have been playing towards.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41It is time for the final round,

0:21:41 > 0:21:43which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be

0:21:45 > 0:21:47allowed to take part in this round.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50Angela and Paul from Does Grey Matter,

0:21:50 > 0:21:52and Dave and Barry from the Eggheads,

0:21:52 > 0:21:55would you please now leave the studio?

0:21:56 > 0:21:58So, Ann, Katy and Joanne,

0:21:58 > 0:22:02- you're playing to win Does Grey Matter £11,000.- Wow.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04You can whoop, that's good.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Daphne, Chris and Pat, you're playing for something that

0:22:06 > 0:22:09money can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14This time, the questions are all General Knowledge

0:22:14 > 0:22:16and you are allowed to confer.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19So, Does Grey Matter, the question is, are your three brains

0:22:19 > 0:22:22better than the Eggheads' three brains?

0:22:22 > 0:22:25Does Grey Matter, would you like to go first or second?

0:22:25 > 0:22:28We'd like to go first and keep the strategy going.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33Here we go.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35The group of actors, including Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon

0:22:35 > 0:22:38and Patrick Swayze, who emerged in the 1980s,

0:22:38 > 0:22:40were known collectively by what name?

0:22:44 > 0:22:46I think that's the Brat Pack.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48It was, wasn't it? It was the '80s era.

0:22:48 > 0:22:53- The Rat Pack and then the Brat Pack. - The Brat Pack, yeah.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55Definitely don't think it's the Hush Puppies,

0:22:55 > 0:22:58- they wouldn't allow themselves to be called that.- No.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01Because they were young and upcoming then, won't they?

0:23:01 > 0:23:02And it definitely wasn't The Young Ones

0:23:02 > 0:23:05because of the reference to the British comedy.

0:23:05 > 0:23:08So it's definitely got to be The Brat Pack. Is that our answer?

0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Definitely.- Right, we definitely think it's The Brat Pack.

0:23:11 > 0:23:16Spot on, it is The Brat Pack. Well done. Eggheads, your question.

0:23:16 > 0:23:20The abbreviation RSVP, as seen on invitations, is a shortened form

0:23:20 > 0:23:22of a phrase in which language?

0:23:25 > 0:23:27- French.- French.- All agreed?

0:23:27 > 0:23:29That's French, Jeremy.

0:23:29 > 0:23:34French is the right answer. Second question. Keep on at 'em.

0:23:34 > 0:23:41Under what name did Dr Crippen book passage on the SS Montrose in 1910?

0:23:46 > 0:23:51I think he was a serial killer. Am I right? Was he a poisoner?

0:23:51 > 0:23:52Did he poison people?

0:23:54 > 0:23:55He was involved in some murders

0:23:55 > 0:24:00and did he try to evade justice on the boat? On the ship?

0:24:00 > 0:24:03I don't know. It doesn't mean anything to me.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05- Doesn't mean anything to me. - I don't know what.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08The only thing is, is Robinson, is Robinson Crusoe,

0:24:08 > 0:24:11and it's really not the link, is it?

0:24:11 > 0:24:14- What name would he pick to try and evade justice?- 1910?

0:24:14 > 0:24:181910, so which one of those would have been more common?

0:24:18 > 0:24:20I think either Hutchinson or Gibson.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23I'm kind of thinking perhaps Hutchinson.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26- We'll go for Hutchinson, then? - Should we, and be it on my head?

0:24:26 > 0:24:29On our heads. Right. Right.

0:24:29 > 0:24:34We're going to go for Hutchinson, but we really don't know the answer.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37Hutchinson is your answer. You're right about the back story.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41- Crippen had murdered his wife, hadn't he?- Allegedly.

0:24:41 > 0:24:45And then he got on a ship. And my memory is that he was

0:24:45 > 0:24:48- the first person to be caught by radio, is that right?- Yes.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51So that's why people remember, they actually radioed the ship.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53He was on his way to America.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56But he was on his way under the name Robinson.

0:24:56 > 0:24:57Was it? The one we eliminated.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00And, funnily enough, your thought process was perfect for it.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03Because you said, "What's the most common name there?"

0:25:03 > 0:25:05It seems a little bit obvious, doesn't it?

0:25:05 > 0:25:07I don't know why you chose that. Anyone know why?

0:25:07 > 0:25:11- How was Crippen discovered? - The captain of the Montrose

0:25:11 > 0:25:16became suspicious because Crippen had his lady friend along with him,

0:25:16 > 0:25:18Ethel Le Neve, disguised as his son.

0:25:18 > 0:25:22He saw the two of them together and thought, "Hello, this isn't right.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24"Who is this person? Hey up, it's Crippen."

0:25:24 > 0:25:29He got off a Marconigram to Scotland Yard, Inspector Dew

0:25:29 > 0:25:34jumped on a faster ship and got to Canada before the Montrose got there

0:25:34 > 0:25:38and went aboard the Montrose and, "You're nicked, me son."

0:25:39 > 0:25:41In the days when if you showed up in a new country,

0:25:41 > 0:25:43- you could start life again. - Oh, yeah, absolutely.

0:25:43 > 0:25:48- And it's only 100 years ago, isn't that amazing?- 1910?- 1910.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51OK, your question, Eggheads. Got a chance to take the lead now.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53Which medical condition was described

0:25:53 > 0:25:58and named in 1951 by Richard Asher, father of the actress, Jane?

0:26:03 > 0:26:06Well, Stockholm Syndrome, that's to do with hostage-taking.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08That's not a medical condition.

0:26:08 > 0:26:12Tourette is a genuine French physician from the 19th century.

0:26:12 > 0:26:16- Does that mean Munchausen Syndrome? - Yes, Munchausen Syndrome.

0:26:16 > 0:26:20- We're going to go for Munchausen Syndrome.- Munchausen Syndrome

0:26:20 > 0:26:21is the right answer.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24They are in the lead and it means you need to get this one right.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26If you get it wrong, the contest is over.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28£11,000 to play for.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31If you get it right, they get theirs wrong, anything can happen.

0:26:31 > 0:26:32Here's your question.

0:26:32 > 0:26:37Which city stands at the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine rivers?

0:26:42 > 0:26:48- The Leipzig is East Germany, so I would rule that one out.- OK.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50But I'm not actually sure. I'm not too sure.

0:26:50 > 0:26:55- What about, has anyone heard of Koblenz?- No.- I've heard of Stuttgart.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59I have, I've heard of that, I'm not sure. If that's the only one...

0:26:59 > 0:27:01If it's at the confluence of the river,

0:27:01 > 0:27:06- it's got to be quite important, hasn't it?- I agree with you, I think.

0:27:06 > 0:27:07What are you feeling?

0:27:07 > 0:27:12Stuttgart, but I've no reason to say that, just a gut instinct.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15- I'm not sure.- I'm happy to go with what your tummy's telling you.

0:27:15 > 0:27:19- All for one and one for all? - Yes, definitely.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22Right, again, we're not sure, Jeremy.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25But, on the basis that Leipzig is in East Germany, so were going to

0:27:25 > 0:27:30take a choice between the last two and were going to go for Stuttgart.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32If you've got it wrong, the contest is over.

0:27:32 > 0:27:36- Let's see if the Eggheads know. Eggheads?- Koblenz.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39Aw, that's the one we hadn't heard of.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42Koblenz is the answer, which stands at the confluence

0:27:42 > 0:27:46of the Moselle and Rhine rivers. I'm sorry.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48We have to say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56That's very sporting of you to give them a round of applause.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59And you took some lumps out of them, you played well.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01Thanks for coming in and commiserations to you.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,

0:28:03 > 0:28:05their winning streak continues.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08I'm afraid that means you won't be going home with the £11,000,

0:28:08 > 0:28:11so the money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13Eggheads, congratulations, who will beat you?

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Join us next time to see

0:28:15 > 0:28:18if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:18 > 0:28:22£12,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
