0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 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 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 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 > 0:00:37And taking on the quiz goliaths today are Great British Treccies.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39No, this is not a team of Star Trek fans,
0:00:39 > 0:00:44they are all in fact participants in the equine sport of trec.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Sounds fascinating, doesn't it? Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hello. I'm Sue. I'm 39 and I'm a housewife.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hello. I'm Anne. I'm 21 and I'm an equine dental science student.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'm Julian. I'm 60. I'm a computer consultant.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hello. I'm Hilary. I'm 57 and I'm a secretary.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hello. I'm Lynn. I'm 39 and I'm a veterinary surgeon.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Welcome, Treccies. Sue and team, good to see you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- Hello. - So tell us about treccing then.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Not Star Trekking but your treccing.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19Our treccing is a sport which involves mounted orienteering.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23So we basically get a compass and they send us off round the mountains
0:01:23 > 0:01:25and we hopefully make it home.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27And do you have to find treasures along the way?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Yeah, we find checkpoints along the way
0:01:29 > 0:01:32and we can get them right or we can get them wrong,
0:01:32 > 0:01:36and it's to an optimal time as well. So the speed becomes a factor.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40So it's like a very, very exciting form of horse racing?
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Kind of.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Or not.- Not.- Good luck.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55So, Treccies, the Eggheads have won the last 11 games,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58which means £12,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of science.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04So, Treccies, who wants this?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I think that will be me.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08- Lynn.- Not that we'd arranged it. - Yes.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10OK, against which Egghead, Lynn?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- What do we think?- Any one you like.
0:02:12 > 0:02:18- I think Chris is probably one of the weaker ones on science.- Chris- .
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Yeah. OK?- We'll go with that. - We'll go with Chris.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Good that there was no attempt to spare his feelings there at all.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27So it's Lynn from the Treccies
0:02:27 > 0:02:29against Chris from the Eggheads on science.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31And just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34would you please both take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37So, Lynn, you're a Great British Treccie too.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Yes, I am.- And if anyone watching wanted to have a go at treccing,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42where would you even start?
0:02:42 > 0:02:46The sport in Britain is run by the British Horse Society,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49so the best thing to do would be to take a look at their website
0:02:49 > 0:02:51and it's got all the information on there.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Competition dates, training dates, that sort of thing.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Have you ever done any horse riding, Chris?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Unless you can get some thumping great Clydesdale or Shire horse,
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I don't think they'd find one big enough to carry me.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Have you tried or has there been an incident?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06No, never tried.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09OK. Let's see how we go on science.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Science it is, Lynn, and three multiple choice questions in turn.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15And, of course, the winner of the round goes through to the final.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17The other person gets knocked out.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Would you like the first or the second set of questions, Lynn?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25OK, here is your question, Lynn.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29What is the proper collective term for peacocks and peahens?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Peacocks and peahens.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Game doesn't sound quite right,
0:03:39 > 0:03:43so I'm going to dismiss that one.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46They're definitely not grouse.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49So I think I'll go for peafowl.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Peafowl is quite right, good.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Chris, on to you. What name is often given to common,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57non-precious metals such as zinc or copper?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Well, ferric metals are iron and its compounds.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05So they're base metals.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Base metals is the right answer.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Lynn, what name has been given to the vehicle
0:04:10 > 0:04:15in which the Wright brothers first achieved powered flight?
0:04:22 > 0:04:26I'm fairly sure that Hercules is a big bomber-type plane.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I don't know much about planes.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31The Wright Flyer of 1903 sounds...
0:04:32 > 0:04:35..a bit too long.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37And I've heard of Kitty Hawk,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40so I'm going to go for that. Say Kitty Hawk.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Kitty Hawk is the wrong answer.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45The answer is The Wright Flyer of 1903.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Chris, your question.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Which scientist is famous for
0:04:48 > 0:04:50inventing the rotating magnetic field
0:04:50 > 0:04:54and pioneering its applications in conjunction with AC electricity?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Edison was the direct current man, wasn't he?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Alternating current, that's down to Nikola Tesla. So it's Nikola Tesla.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Nikola Tesla is the right answer.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14OK, he's got two, you've got one, Lynn.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16You need to get this one right. Your third question.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19What type of marine creature is the golden cowry?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26It's definitely not an octopus.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30And I don't think it's a seahorse.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I know cowry shells are the ones that you listen to
0:05:32 > 0:05:34when you put them to your ear
0:05:34 > 0:05:36and you are supposed to be able to hear the sea.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38So it's a type of snail.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Good, it is a type of snail. You're right.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44So you're equal. Let's see if Chris can take it.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Chris, your question. What was the common name of the carnivorous bird,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49up to three metres in height,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52that lived in South America in prehistoric times?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05They weren't wrath birds and I doubt they were murder birds.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09But they would strike terror into anybody, so they were terror birds.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12They were indeed terror birds.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Sorry, Lynn. He just pipped you there.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Chris has taken the round with three correct answers out of three.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Please, both of you come back to us and rejoin your teams.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Well, I know your science came up
0:06:24 > 0:06:26and was maybe slightly criticised at the beginning.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29But you have actually won 21 out of 23 Science rounds
0:06:29 > 0:06:31since the start of Eggheads.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- Have I indeed? - You have - you only dropped two.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Oh, right.- And I know you give yourself a scientific name.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Was it a ferro... - Ferro-equiniologist, yes.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Studier of the Iron Horse.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Meaning trains?- Yeah.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45OK, as it stands, the challengers have now lost a brain.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47The Eggheads are still going strong without any losses.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49The next subject is...
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Who would like this?
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- Me.- I think Anne?- Yes.- Anne? OK.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57- Who do you get to play? - Who looks shaky,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59who looks like they never watch TV?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Do you want to have a go against Daphne?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04OK, yeah. Go for Daphne, please.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06You don't sound certain, Anne.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Oh, I trust my team captain.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10There are no pushovers here - that's the thing.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13So, Anne from Great British Treccies against Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Please, if you would, go to the Question Room now.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19So, we're on Film and TV.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Daphne, I'm thinking of some of your TV appearances.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24You've been on an awful lot on quiz shows and stuff, haven't you?
0:07:24 > 0:07:29I started 1979 with Winner Takes All.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32You won the 15 To 1 final twice, didn't you?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Yeah. And I won the Top Of The Boards trophy three times.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I gather, with 15 To 1,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41you are the holder of the second highest score of all time.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46- Yes, yes.- 432 points out of 433. - That's right.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48So in a way you are a quiz answer yourself, aren't you,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50after all those appearances now?
0:07:50 > 0:07:51- No. - SHE LAUGHS
0:07:51 > 0:07:53That's fame.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57I'll ask each of you three questions on film and television in turn,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59and whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner
0:07:59 > 0:08:01and, Anne, it's your choice whether you want to go first or second.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I'll go first, please.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11Who became the regular presenter of the TV show Room 101 in 2012?
0:08:14 > 0:08:18I've seen it recently, and I think it's Frank Skinner.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- It is Frank Skinner, well done. - Yeah!
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Still a great show as well.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Daphne, who was crowned King of the Jungle
0:08:26 > 0:08:29in the 2011 series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31SHE SIGHS
0:08:38 > 0:08:42It was the chap from McFly, wasn't it?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I've forgotten.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I knew it was somebody from McFly.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Gosh, I just can't remember.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Dougie Poynter. - Dougie Poynter is the right answer.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Lucky Dip Daphne, there she goes again.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01OK, Anne, over to you.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06Which film received the most Academy Award nominations in January 2012?
0:09:12 > 0:09:13I can't remember.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17I don't think War Horse was out yet in January,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19so I don't think it's that.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25I don't think The Descendants did that well if I remember rightly,
0:09:25 > 0:09:26so I think it's Hugo.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Hugo's the right answer - well done. - CHEERING
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Brilliant. Anyone know how many? - 11.- 11, yeah.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Well done, Daphne, you got it right. Well done.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Here's your question, Daphne.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43The TV sitcom Desmond's was set in which city?
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Oh, crumbs.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52I know it was set in a Barber shop.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- London?- London's right.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Oh, crumbs, London.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Sorry, Anne, she does this.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Here's your third question.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Who played Perseus in the film Clash Of The Titans
0:10:06 > 0:10:09and Marcus Wright in Terminator Salvation?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17I'm almost certain it wasn't Ryan Reynolds
0:10:17 > 0:10:20and it wasn't Channing Tatum.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23So I'm going to have to go for Sam Worthington.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- The answer is Sam Worthington.- Yes!
0:10:27 > 0:10:32Well done. Let us see if Lucky Dip Daphne, as she's known,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34falls down a manhole.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38In which 1971 film does Dustin Hoffman play the role
0:10:38 > 0:10:41of mathematician David Sumner?
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Don't know. Honestly, I don't know.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56I know he's in all three films.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01And I don't think it's going to work this time.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Mathematician.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Straw Dogs.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16OK, how do you do it? How do you do it, Daphne, seriously?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18That's right, that's the right answer.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Your brain will have to be donated to science.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23That's amazing. Every single time you guess you get it right.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Well done, Daphne. You've done very well there. Three out of three.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- So we go to Sudden Death. OK, Anne?- Oh.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34I know it seems unfair but she has an amazing way.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36And this is a bit harder cos I don't give you alternatives.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Which TV series first shown in 2009
0:11:40 > 0:11:43and starring Rupert Penry-Jones and Phil Davies
0:11:43 > 0:11:44is named after a part of London?
0:11:49 > 0:11:52I haven't got a clue.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Chelsea.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I'm sorry. Whitechapel is the right answer.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08So, Daphne, if you get this right, you are in the final round.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12"Surely you can't be serious. I am serious, and don't call me Shirley,"
0:12:12 > 0:12:15are lines from which 1980 film starring Robert Hays?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Airplane?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Airplane is the right answer.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Daphne, you've taken the round.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Snatched away from you, Anne. I'm sorry.- Yeah.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- You were close - very, very close.- Very close.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30And you won't be in the final, while Daphne will.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Please, both of you come back, rejoin your teams.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40The Eggheads have lost no brains from the final round.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41But you can turn it around, Treccies.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43And this is a bit like on a trec,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46just being a little bit slow on the first couple of clues.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Yep. We never lose focus.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50The next subject is sport.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Who's going to focus on sport?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Are you?- Um!
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I think we should follow the plan.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02As long as it's all about horses, I can do it.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- OK.- Sue on horses. - There are no guarantees.- No.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Who do we think? - Who do you want to pick?
0:13:10 > 0:13:14I think Judith loves sport, I believe.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16I do.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Yeah, so I think Judith, please.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24So Sue from the Great British Treccies takes on Judith.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Back in the saddle, Judith. - Yes, it's very exciting.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Do, both of you, please go to the Question Room now.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33So, all this talk of horses, Judith,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I feel I should ask you if you've been riding recently?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Not recently. But I used to when I was younger.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Where did you go riding?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I had a pony,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45and so I rode every day from home.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Right, and you would just ride around the area?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Yeah, I used to ride every morning.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51It sounds almost idyllic.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53It was, actually, it was lovely.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56All right. Good luck in this round. It's Sport, three questions, and,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Sue, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01I'm going to go for the second set, please.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Judith, what was Wayne Rooney's squad number for Manchester United
0:14:07 > 0:14:10during the 2011-2012 football season?
0:14:13 > 0:14:14SHE LAUGHS
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I don't even know really what that means.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20I think, if it's the number on his back, I think it might be 10.
0:14:20 > 0:14:2410 is the right answer. Well done, Judith. Over to you, Sue.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28In which city did Carl Lewis win four Olympic gold medals?
0:14:32 > 0:14:36OK. Munich was quite early.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Los Angeles was definitely '84 and Sydney was later.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43So I believe Carl Lewis
0:14:43 > 0:14:47at the height of his career would have been around '84,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49so that may be Los Angeles.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Excellent. Los Angeles is correct. Yeah!
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Impressive detective work there. OK, Judith, your second question.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Which role is most associated with the South African cricketer
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Morne Morkel?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I don't know whether he's nowadays or when he was.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10I'm always trying wicketkeeper.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12It's very seldom been wicketkeeper.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13There must be a time when it will be.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15So I'm going to say wicketkeeper.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- You should have gone down the right, Judith.- Oh.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Fast bowler.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21OK, over to you, Sue.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23In which year did Jason Leonard
0:15:23 > 0:15:26first play test match rugby union for England?
0:15:31 > 0:15:35OK, my flatmate when I was a student
0:15:35 > 0:15:37was into Welsh rugby,
0:15:38 > 0:15:39and that was around 1990.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42So I'm pretty sure it wasn't that early.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48I'm going to go for 2000.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Do you know what, you're 10 years out.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Cos it was 1990.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55So we're equal. One each. Judith.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Which snooker player defeated Shaun Murphy
0:15:57 > 0:16:00in the final of the 2012 Masters in London?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Now, this I should know.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10And I'm sure I've read it and I can't remember.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Oh, dear me. Judd Trump.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17- Daphne likes that.- Does she?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Yeah, she's really celebrating.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22I don't know why, cos it's wrong, but she likes the name.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- She obviously enjoyed the name. - That is so unkind.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- You gave me hope for a minute. - I thought it was right.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29She thought it was right, she's pointing out.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32She's not excited cos she knows you got it wrong.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- Daphne would never do that, would you?- No!
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Neil Robertson is the answer, Judith.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40You've got one out of three. So we're building.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44OK, Sue. If you get this one right, you've knocked Judith out.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Which sport was rocked by controversy in January 2012
0:16:48 > 0:16:50over the air permeability
0:16:50 > 0:16:52of the underwear worn by competitors?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01I've never heard of this.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Air permeability.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Purely because skiing is time-based,
0:17:07 > 0:17:10so it might help you go quicker, I'm going to go for skiing.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- And it's the right answer.- Yes!
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Fantastic!
0:17:15 > 0:17:16I can't work that one out at all.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Why would having air
0:17:18 > 0:17:21whooshing through your nether regions help you ski fast?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- Drag, I would suppose.- Less drag?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Skiing is the right answer. Well done, Sue.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27You're in the final.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29And, Judith, you've been knocked out in Sport,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- which, you know, occasionally happens.- It's familiar.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Please, both of you come back and rejoin your teams in the studio.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38- Great work, Sue.- Thank you.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40My sport knowledge is legendary.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Well done. The challengers have lost two brains
0:17:44 > 0:17:47but the Eggheads have lost a brain as well now from the final round.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49And the last subject is Geography.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I'm thinking this is up your street.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Literally.- Yes, we know everything about geography.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Compasses at the ready.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02I think it's got to be Hilary, hasn't it?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Cos Julian's general knowledge is better than mine.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- So shall I give this one a go? - Yeah. I think so.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- Right. It'll be me.- Hilary. OK.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Who do I want to play? - Who have we got left?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- It's one or the other, isn't it? - Barry still looks quite sleepy.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Shall we wake him up a bit?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Shall we leave him for the general knowledge round?
0:18:20 > 0:18:21I think I'll play Barry, please.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- OK, we'll have to wake him up, you realise that?- Yep.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Thank you.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Hilary from Great British Treccies versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:18:31 > 0:18:32please take your positions.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36So, Hilary, I think you're the top treccer.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I'm the current British champion, yes, with my pony.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42But how do you fit it in? Cos you're a secretary as well,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- you do your treccing, you've got four children.- Mm-hmm.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47And your pony.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50You make time for the things you want to do.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52That's true. OK, so I'm going to ask each of you
0:18:52 > 0:18:54three questions on geography in turn
0:18:54 > 0:18:56and, Hilary, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I'll go first, please.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Good luck to you and here we go.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04What is the capital of the USA?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13New York is the obvious one but I don't think it's that one.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15And I don't think it's Los Angeles,
0:19:15 > 0:19:18so I think it's Washington DC.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Washington DC is the right answer.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21Yeah!
0:19:22 > 0:19:25OK, Barry. The Canadian city of Vancouver
0:19:25 > 0:19:26is located on which coast?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Vancouver is in British Columbia
0:19:31 > 0:19:36which is on, just let me check my geography, the west coast.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38West coast is the right answer.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Back to you, Hilary. In which European city
0:19:41 > 0:19:43might one cross the Liberty Bridge,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45the Chain Bridge and Petofi Bridge?
0:19:50 > 0:19:51I haven't heard of any of them.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I think it's not Budapest
0:19:56 > 0:19:59for any particular reason.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02I'm going to go for Berlin
0:20:02 > 0:20:04because of the name of the Liberty Bridge
0:20:04 > 0:20:07and the fact that it used to be a split city,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09but I've got no idea.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Yeah, and has a river in it. OK,
0:20:11 > 0:20:13let's see whether the Eggheads think Berlin is right.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15No. No, it's Prague.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- It's not Prague.- Budapest. - It's Budapest!
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Why can't you do that when you're in there answering the questions?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- Budapest is the answer, Hilary, sorry.- OK.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Barry, what is the approximate population of Argentina?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Now, I can discount 161 million straight away.
0:20:37 > 0:20:4041 million or 81 million.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41I hate these sorts of questions,
0:20:41 > 0:20:44they're so difficult to remember the answers to.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48And it's the second most populous country in South America.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Brazil's the most populous by far.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53But does it have more people than we do or less?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I'm not sure on this, but I'll go down the middle for 81 million.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- You've got it wrong, actually, it's 41.- Ah.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03OK, Hilary, your question. You're level with one point.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07St Anton is a popular ski resort in which country?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13St Anton.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15I don't think it's Switzerland
0:21:16 > 0:21:20and... I'm going to go for Austria.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Austria is correct.- Yeah!
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Well, let's see if Barry can hold his own here.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28If he can't, he's out. In the United States, Barry,
0:21:28 > 0:21:30the officially designated
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Land Between The Lakes Recreation Area
0:21:33 > 0:21:35is in Kentucky and which other state?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Well, Indiana's nowhere near Kentucky,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44so I can rule that out straight away.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47I believe Kentucky and Tennessee are next to each other.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50I think West Virginia's a bit further north.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51So I'll go for Tennessee.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Tennessee is correct.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56So we go to Sudden Death.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Hilary, that means it gets a bit harder.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I don't give you alternatives. Don't sigh!
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Courage!
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Northland and Southland are two of the 16 regions
0:22:05 > 0:22:07in which Commonwealth country?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11In which Commonwealth country?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I'm going to struggle on this one.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Well, I'm going to go all the way around the globe
0:22:19 > 0:22:21and go for New Zealand.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Yeah, you got it! Well done!- Yeah!
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Where did that come from? Just brilliant insight there.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Chance.- You been there? - No, I was recently in Australia
0:22:30 > 0:22:32but I haven't been to New Zealand.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34OK, Barry, if you get this wrong, you're out.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Pernambuco is a state
0:22:36 > 0:22:39in the northeast of which South American country?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Well, there's only 13 countries in South America,
0:22:43 > 0:22:45but I don't think that really helps me that much.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48I really don't know this.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52I'm going to take a guess that it sounds Portuguese,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54in which case I'll go for Brazil.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56And Brazil is the right answer, Barry. Well done.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Over to you, Hilary.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03The medieval manor house Shute Barton,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05now a National Trust property,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07is located in which English county?
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Shute Barton.
0:23:10 > 0:23:16I'm tempted to go for Somerset or Devon
0:23:16 > 0:23:20because there's lots of Bartons in both counties.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22But I think it's a Devon name.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Your answer is Devon.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- It's correct.- Yes!- Playing well.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Barry, again you're under pressure here.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32What is the largest of the Ionian Islands?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Oh, goodness me.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37The Ionian Islands
0:23:37 > 0:23:42are on the western side of Greece.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46So I think the largest Ionian Island is Corfu.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49No, it is not. Any Eggheads?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51- Kefalonia? - Kefalonia is the answer, Barry.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53You've been knocked out. Well done, Hilary!
0:23:53 > 0:23:55You've taken it on Sudden Death.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58And you are in the final round.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01So if you come back to us, both of you, we will play the final.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07It is time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:24:09 > 0:24:11won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15So that's Anne and Lynn from Great British Treccies
0:24:15 > 0:24:17and also Barry and Judith from the Eggheads.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Would you please leave the studio.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Sue, Julian and Hilary, you're playing to win
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Great British Treccies £12,000.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Daphne, Chris and Pat,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:24:29 > 0:24:31which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36This time the questions are all general knowledge
0:24:36 > 0:24:38and you are allowed to confer.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41So, Great British Treccies, the question is are your three brains
0:24:41 > 0:24:44capable of beating the Eggheads' three over here?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- Do you want to go first or second? - We'll take second, please.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52OK, Eggheads. Here is your first question.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Which English model did the guitarist
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Jamie Hince marry in July 2011?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- I thought it was Kate Moss. - Kate Moss just got married, yes.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- You think it was Kate Moss? - I think it was Kate Moss.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09We think that's Kate Moss, Jeremy.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Kate Moss is the right answer.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Over to you, Treccies. Don't be intimidated by those Eggheads.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17They can crack.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21The concert venue Carnegie Hall is in which borough of New York?
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Right, let me think.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30It would be a guess for me.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- It's quite a smart place, Manhattan.- It is.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- Manhattan has got quite a lot of concert venues.- Yeah.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38But whether Carnegie Hall is there.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42I was thinking of, Madison Gardens.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Yeah. I don't see any reason to go for anything else.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- It's certainly not going to be Staten Island.- I don't think it's The Bronx.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- You think it's the Bronx?- I don't. - You don't think it's the Bronx?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- We'll go with Manhattan.- Yep.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56We'd like to go with Manhattan, please.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58- Manhattan is the right answer.- Yes.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01OK, Eggheads, your second question.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Who had UK hit singles in the 1960s with Walk Tall,
0:26:05 > 0:26:09The Special Years and Elusive Butterfly?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Val Doonican.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18I'm sure, Jeremy, it was Val Doonican.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Val Doonican is the right answer.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Well done.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25On to you.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Theodore Roosevelt served as vice president of the United States
0:26:28 > 0:26:31under which president?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- Grant's the Civil War, so that's far too old.- Too early.- Yeah.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44So it's McKinley or Hoover. I would go with Hoover.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- I would think Hoover cos I've heard of him.- Right.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49McKinley's got a mountain named after him.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Yeah. OK, we'd like to go with Hoover.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55On the basis that...?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- We like the name.- You like the name.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Help us out here, Eggs. - William McKinley.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03He took over when he was assassinated.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Roosevelt took over when McKinley was assassinated?- Yeah.- Right.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08OK.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Here's your question. And that means, if you get this one right,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Eggheads, you've taken the contest.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Which architect designed New York's Chrysler Building?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- It's not Frank Lloyd Wright. - I think it's William Van Alen.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Frank Gehry's far too recent for the Chrysler Building.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Yeah, it's Art Deco, isn't it?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I think it's William Van Alen.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30William Van Alen I would go for.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I've never heard of it mentioned as Frank Lloyd Wright.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- No.- No, it's not his thing.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Frank Gehry, far too modern.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- Go for William Van Alen?- Yeah.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43We think it was William Van Alen.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46A very major early architect.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48If you've got this right, the contest is over.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50They did look worryingly certain, didn't they?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- They did seem quite sure.- Yeah.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54The answer is William Van Alen.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57So we say congratulations, Eggheads, you've won again.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- And McKinley was the killer, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10- And he was assassinated. - Yeah. In Buffalo, New York, yeah.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13As modest as they are, they like to show off a bit.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15But, Eggheads, well done. You won fair and square.
