0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:12 > 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 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,

0:00:24 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits against

0:00:28 > 0:00:30possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

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

0:00:32 > 0:00:34And challenging our resident quiz champions today

0:00:34 > 0:00:37are Ain't No Estopping Us Now.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40This team of friends are all trainee solicitors who met whilst

0:00:40 > 0:00:43studying at the Manchester College of Law.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Mark, I'm 24 years old and I'm from Bolton.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Tom, I'm 25 and I'm from Manchester.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Liam, I'm 25 and I'm from Middlesbrough.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Barry, I'm 33 years old and I'm from Stockport.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Rich, I'm 25 and I'm from Glasgow.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01So, Mark and team, welcome!

0:01:01 > 0:01:02ALL: Hi, Jeremy.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05And you're all trainee solicitors, you're all involved with the law?

0:01:05 > 0:01:06That's correct, yes.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08I know it's not Ain't No E-stopping Us Now.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10At first, I thought your team name was to do with

0:01:10 > 0:01:12e-commerce or e-mail - help us understand this.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15Well, I think Barry has prepared a bit of a spiel

0:01:15 > 0:01:17to describe our team name. Barry?

0:01:17 > 0:01:20What we've done is we have combined the legal doctrine of estoppel

0:01:20 > 0:01:22with the classic disco hit.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Estoppel, Jeremy,

0:01:24 > 0:01:26is where somebody can't rely on a right that would normally

0:01:26 > 0:01:29be available, so, for example, if you told me

0:01:29 > 0:01:32I don't have to pay rent until after the war, once the war is over,

0:01:32 > 0:01:34you couldn't then claim back the rent you were due.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37So, as a tenant, I could say, "I've got an estoppel."

0:01:37 > 0:01:39As a tenant, the landlord would be estopped from claiming.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42OK, did you know that, Eggheads? It's interesting, isn't it?

0:01:42 > 0:01:45I've heard the term, but didn't know the explanation.

0:01:45 > 0:01:51So, normally the Eggheads have a right to win, and today,

0:01:51 > 0:01:52we are exercising estoppel on them.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54ALL: That's right.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56- We're going to estop them. - We'll give it a go.- OK, good luck.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash

0:01:58 > 0:02:00up for grabs for our challengers, however,

0:02:00 > 0:02:02if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money

0:02:02 > 0:02:06rolls over to the next show, so, Ain't No Estopping Us Now!

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Great name, by the way.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10The Eggheads have won the last 14 games,

0:02:10 > 0:02:14which means that £15,000 says that you can't beat them today.

0:02:14 > 0:02:15Do you want to get cracking?

0:02:15 > 0:02:16ALL: Yes, please.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22I know you are all lawyers - it's not ideal, is it?

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Not particularly, but I think we know

0:02:24 > 0:02:27who's taking up that particular one, we've got that planned.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Yes, I'm putting myself forward for that one.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Liam, OK, from Ain't No Estopping Us Now, versus any one

0:02:33 > 0:02:35of these Eggheads.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Maybe, if we take Dave?

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Yes, an unknown quantity.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Yes, I'm happy doing that. Dave.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44OK, it is Liam from Ain't No Estopping Us Now versus

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads,

0:02:46 > 0:02:47and to ensure there's no conferring,

0:02:47 > 0:02:51would you please take your positions in the Question Room?

0:02:51 > 0:02:54I thought we were going to see you in the music round, Liam?

0:02:54 > 0:02:57No, unfortunately not, I have been sent in for Science.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01Obviously music is one of my other passions, but science as well.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Tell me about your collection of instruments.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Yes, I have got quite a vast array...of instruments.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11I couldn't pretend to be particularly good on any of them -

0:03:11 > 0:03:14I would say "middling to average" on a number of them.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16I always seem to pick one up and then get another one,

0:03:16 > 0:03:19put that one down and pick up something else...

0:03:19 > 0:03:24so, yes, I have got three guitars, a ukulele, a didgeridoo, a melodica,

0:03:24 > 0:03:27about five harmonicas, so, yes, quite a collection.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31And why collect instruments that you maybe can't play?

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Well, I think, I just like to keep myself busy, really.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36The harmonicas and the guitars, that's from...

0:03:36 > 0:03:37I like a bit of Bob Dylan,

0:03:37 > 0:03:39so that was the reason I picked that up.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42I've got a little neck brace that I put round my neck

0:03:42 > 0:03:43and play along at the same time.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46I know you love Dylan so much, you've seen him in concert.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50I have, I saw him a couple of years ago in Liverpool.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Quite a special moment. His voice wasn't quite there,

0:03:52 > 0:03:53not as it was in the '60s,

0:03:53 > 0:03:56but it was nice to be in the same room as the man, to be honest.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Amazing. I hope there's some crossover between music

0:03:58 > 0:04:01and science, I can't tell you where that will happen,

0:04:01 > 0:04:03- but good luck in this round. - Thank you.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05You'll get three multiple-choice questions

0:04:05 > 0:04:07and you can choose the first or second set, Liam.

0:04:07 > 0:04:08Yes, I will go first.

0:04:11 > 0:04:12Here we go and good luck.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16The word "vaccine" comes from the Latin word for which creature?

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Vaccine...

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Erm, I'm not sure of this answer...

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Erm, when I think back

0:04:25 > 0:04:29to vaccines, though, when I think of the first development

0:04:29 > 0:04:34I think that was something that was tested on chickens, maybe.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37So, I think I will go for chickens.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39- It's not actually chicken... - It's not?

0:04:39 > 0:04:42I guess it's...the French for cow is vache. What's the Latin for cow?

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Vacca.

0:04:44 > 0:04:45Vacca?

0:04:45 > 0:04:47So it comes from that word. So the answer is cow.

0:04:47 > 0:04:48Never mind.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Why cow, Kevin? Or anyone - why does it come from a cow word?

0:04:51 > 0:04:55- I think, wasn't the first one cow pox?- Cowpox, yes...

0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Cowpox, which is a... - A different strain.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59A disease that humans get?

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Yes, Jenner, who developed the vaccine,

0:05:01 > 0:05:04noticed that milk maids who had regular contact

0:05:04 > 0:05:08with cows had developed an immunity to smallpox which was raging

0:05:08 > 0:05:10through communities otherwise,

0:05:10 > 0:05:13but what they did catch from the cows was this cowpox,

0:05:13 > 0:05:17this other strain, so he took a sample of that

0:05:17 > 0:05:20and injected it into people to see if it gave them immunity and it did.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23That's amazing, and that's how we got the smallpox vaccine?

0:05:23 > 0:05:27I love doing this programme - I learn something every minute.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31Tremendous Knowledge Dave, here's your question. What is 20% of 880?

0:05:35 > 0:05:42Right, 20% of 880, I'm just going to do some quick mental arithmetic.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Five into eight is one.

0:05:44 > 0:05:50One carry over three, is 35, that's 7.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53Go with that. 176.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56The answer is 176, Dave, well done.

0:05:56 > 0:05:57OK, Liam, here is your question.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01Gentoo and Adelie are species of which bird?

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Right, I think I know this one.

0:06:07 > 0:06:11I actually went to Edinburgh recently to see the pandas,

0:06:11 > 0:06:14but I think there were some Gentoo penguins there as well.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17So, I think the answer is penguin.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21You're right! That's really good, well done.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25Tremendous Knowledge Dave - macrophages, which work in the human

0:06:25 > 0:06:30body to engulf foreign particles and microorganisms, are types of what?

0:06:34 > 0:06:39Right, well, I don't think they're white blood cells, erm...

0:06:39 > 0:06:41I don't like taste buds being there,

0:06:41 > 0:06:44but I like the look of mucus glands,

0:06:44 > 0:06:47I like the sound of it being a gland.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51I'll go for mucous glands, but I'm not entirely sure.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53- It's wrong.- It's taste buds.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57- No, it's white blood cells. - Fair enough.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59OK, back to you, Liam.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02What name is given to fluids such as quicksand or custard

0:07:02 > 0:07:07that do not follow the standard rules of viscosity and flow?

0:07:15 > 0:07:20Yes, I think custard is one of them ones that you can walk across,

0:07:20 > 0:07:24effectively...the tension in the surface of it.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Yes, it rings a bell, but for which?

0:07:29 > 0:07:34Which one of those it is, that is... a difficult question.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38I'm not 100% sure on this one, if I'm totally honest.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41It's going to be a bit of a guess...

0:07:41 > 0:07:46I'll go with non-Newtonian fluids.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50And you're absolutely right - non-Newtonian fluids is correct.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52OK, here we go, Dave.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Your question now - if you get this one wrong, you are out.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58What nickname is often given to the oyster gryphaea,

0:07:58 > 0:08:03one of the most common fossils found in the British Jurassic bedrock?

0:08:09 > 0:08:12I don't rightly know, but the one that looks best to me

0:08:12 > 0:08:17is Devil's nostrils, but I'm not sure. I'll go for Devil's nostrils.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Let's see if Liam knows this one. Is he right?

0:08:19 > 0:08:24Yes, actually, near where I am from, Redcar, I think there are quite

0:08:24 > 0:08:27a few of these fossils on the beach there. I think it's Devils toenails.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29- It is the Devil's toenails. - He's very good.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Dave, you're out.- I'm out.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33You're not in the final.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35So, very well played to our challengers -

0:08:35 > 0:08:37you've kept your first brain in the final round.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43So, as it stands, the challengers have not lost a brain.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45The Eggheads have lost Tremendous Knowledge Dave.

0:08:45 > 0:08:50Our next subject is Geography. Who would like this?

0:08:50 > 0:08:52I think I'm going to take that, Jeremy, if that's all right?

0:08:52 > 0:08:54OK, Mark, team captain.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Who will I take?- Anyone but Dave.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00I don't think there is any weak link necessarily,

0:09:00 > 0:09:02but I think maybe Judith, potentially.

0:09:02 > 0:09:03We can go with Judith...

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Yes? I think I'll take Judith, if that's OK, Jeremy?

0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Are you feeling geographical, Judith?- I quite like geography.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11You have travelled a lot, haven't you, in France?

0:09:11 > 0:09:13LAUGHTER

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Ever since I've had a house in France,

0:09:15 > 0:09:17I've been absolutely nowhere else.

0:09:17 > 0:09:18So, travelling has kind of ceased.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21She sits in France reading maps, that's what she does.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24So, it is Mark from Ain't No Estopping Us Now

0:09:24 > 0:09:26versus Judith from the Eggheads.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Please go to the Question Room.

0:09:28 > 0:09:32So, good luck to you both. Three questions on Geography in turn,

0:09:32 > 0:09:34and, Mark, you can choose the first or the second set.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36I think I'll take the first set, if that's OK, Jeremy?

0:09:39 > 0:09:40Here we go, good luck to you.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44The Space Coast is the name given to a region of which US state?

0:09:50 > 0:09:52I'm not entirely sure about this one,

0:09:52 > 0:09:55but I think it possibly might be linked to the fact

0:09:55 > 0:09:58that in Florida, NASA have a base there, and it could be where

0:09:58 > 0:10:03all the rockets go up to space, and I can't see how it could be

0:10:03 > 0:10:07any of the other two, so I'm going to say Florida.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10Florida is the right answer. Well done.

0:10:11 > 0:10:15Judith, which very large, enclosed body of water gives Iran

0:10:15 > 0:10:18a sizeable shoreline along its northern border?

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Oh, I always get the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea muddled up.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Erm...

0:10:28 > 0:10:33Well, Turkey goes under there. Iran? I think it's the Ca...

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Yes, of course it is, it's where caviar comes from,

0:10:36 > 0:10:38it's the Caspian Sea.

0:10:38 > 0:10:42Caspian Sea is correct.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46Mark, the islands of St Pierre and Miquelon, located off

0:10:46 > 0:10:48the coast of Newfoundland,

0:10:48 > 0:10:50are overseas territories of which country?

0:10:54 > 0:10:58Again, not one I am 100% sure on.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01They obviously do sound, erm...

0:11:01 > 0:11:05like they could well be French-speaking islands, but then

0:11:05 > 0:11:11again, both Belgium and Switzerland have the French language.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14I'll have to say France, I'm afraid,

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Jeremy. I'm not entirely sure, though.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Don't be afraid, you're quite right.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23Judith, in which country is the official unit of currency

0:11:23 > 0:11:26the kwacha, made up of 100 ngwee?

0:11:29 > 0:11:30How do you spell kwacha?

0:11:30 > 0:11:34K-w-a-c-h-a. And ngwee is n-g-w-e-e.

0:11:34 > 0:11:38I think it's either Fiji or Zambia.

0:11:39 > 0:11:45And I think...I'm going to hope that it is African and it's Zambia.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49Zambia is correct, well done.

0:11:49 > 0:11:53Mark, the area of woodland and grassland known as Wytham Woods,

0:11:53 > 0:11:57one of the world's most highly monitored ecological survey sites,

0:11:57 > 0:11:59is in which English county?

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Let me spell Wytham. W-y-t-h-a-m.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09Erm, again, I'm going to have to say,

0:12:09 > 0:12:11I'm not entirely sure about this one.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14I think it's quite plausible that it could be in all three

0:12:14 > 0:12:18of those counties, they are quite rural counties.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21I think I'll have to take what's known as a lucky

0:12:21 > 0:12:26guess and I'm going to say, out of those three, it's located in Dorset.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29Let's see if the Eggheads know this, is he right?

0:12:29 > 0:12:32We don't actually know - we'd be inclined to go for that.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35They think Dorset as well. Anyone here know?

0:12:35 > 0:12:37I would have guessed Dorset as well.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39Everyone agrees with you, but everyone is wrong. It's Oxfordshire.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41Oxfordshire is the answer.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45Wytham Woods, how come we don't know where that is, if it's that close?

0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Maybe it's so well monitored that no-one knows about it.- They hide it.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Yes, they're all standing around it. - We've given it away now.- Yes.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54Judith, if you get this one right, you have taken the round.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58What name is given, due to its association with a wild plant,

0:12:58 > 0:13:02to the small island off Kynance Cove, in Cornwall?

0:13:07 > 0:13:15Well, you can have wild asparagus and you can have wild fennel, so...

0:13:15 > 0:13:18I'm not sure that you would have wild cauliflowers, though.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22So, it is a question of guessing between asparagus and fennel.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Cornwall.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28Erm... I think it might be asparagus.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31If you're right, you're in the final.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Judith, the answer is asparagus island.- Oh!

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Well done. You've triumphed on Geography.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Sorry about that, Mark, you've been knocked out by an Egghead.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Do both of you come back and rejoin your teams.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44Well, to look on the bright side, we are learning a lot here.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47We've got estoppel from you guys, and they told us about cowpox

0:13:47 > 0:13:52and smallpox, and we've located Wytham Woods as well,

0:13:52 > 0:13:54which no-one has identified before.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57The only problem is you've had a player knocked out, so time to turn

0:13:57 > 0:14:00it around, you've lost a brain, but they've lost a brain too.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03So, you're doing fine. The next subject is Film and Television.

0:14:05 > 0:14:06Who wants this?

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Are we looking towards Barry?

0:14:08 > 0:14:10I'll take it. OK, I'll take it.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Against which Egghead, Barry? We've got three left for you.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Who do you think? Your choice.

0:14:15 > 0:14:16What do you think, team?

0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Not Daphne.- Yes, not Daphne.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22How do you feel about taking on Kevin?

0:14:22 > 0:14:26Well, my team obviously back me, and whilst there are some major

0:14:26 > 0:14:29players to choose from, I will go against Kevin.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32Right, so it is Barry from Ain't No Estopping Us Now

0:14:32 > 0:14:35against Kevin. Let's see how you both do on Film and Television.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40- So, you are also a solicitor, Barry?- That's right.

0:14:40 > 0:14:44Have you always wanted to do law or done other stuff as well?

0:14:44 > 0:14:45No, it's a second career for me.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48My first career, straight from school, was the Armed Forces.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50And what were you doing in the Armed Forces?

0:14:50 > 0:14:52I was in the Royal Air Force Police,

0:14:52 > 0:14:54so, whilst it was the Royal Air Force,

0:14:54 > 0:14:56my job was very much on the ground.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58OK, so you just decided that it was good,

0:14:58 > 0:15:00but you wanted to do something else?

0:15:00 > 0:15:03Yes, pretty much. I'd never been to university before,

0:15:03 > 0:15:07and it's a long path to becoming a solicitor,

0:15:07 > 0:15:09and I wanted to get on with it and get started.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13OK, I will ask each of you three questions on Film and Television,

0:15:13 > 0:15:15and, Barry, you can choose the first or second set.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18OK, I will deviate from the plan and go second.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Well, here you go for your first question, Kevin.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27Who are the stars of the 1933 film comedy Duck Soup?

0:15:32 > 0:15:36One of the classic Marx Brothers films, so it's the Marx Brothers.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38The Marx Brothers is the right answer.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41Over to you, Barry.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Who was the original host of the TV show Stars In Their Eyes?

0:15:48 > 0:15:50OK...

0:15:50 > 0:15:54I mean, I only remember it as Matthew, I think,

0:15:54 > 0:15:55was the presenter...

0:15:57 > 0:15:59"Tonight, Matthew, I'm going to be..."

0:15:59 > 0:16:02Erm, I think I can eliminate Roy Walker, though.

0:16:03 > 0:16:08Quiz shows, TV shows, I'm...

0:16:08 > 0:16:11It's a bit of a guess, but I will go towards Leslie Crowther.

0:16:11 > 0:16:16Nicely done. Leslie Crowther it is. Well done.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18He has an amazing musical connection, Leslie Crowther,

0:16:18 > 0:16:19- doesn't he?- Yes.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21What was it, Pat?

0:16:21 > 0:16:23He was Phil Lynott's father-in-law.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25He was.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28OK, Kevin, your second question, in Coronation Street, what was

0:16:28 > 0:16:31the name of Deirdre's mother, played by the actress Maggie Jones?

0:16:36 > 0:16:39I actually met this lady once.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42I met Maggie Jones on just a tour,

0:16:42 > 0:16:46just a historical tour, strangely enough, and she played Blanche.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49Blanche is the right answer.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54Barry, which actress was nominated for a Golden Globe for her

0:16:54 > 0:16:59performance in the 1960s film The Killing Of Sister George?

0:17:04 > 0:17:07This is a difficult one for me, erm...

0:17:07 > 0:17:10When you said 1960s, I was hoping... I'm sure it is an historic,

0:17:10 > 0:17:14iconic film - unfortunately, it's not one I'm familiar with.

0:17:16 > 0:17:20What fits...what fits alongside that movie title, maybe?

0:17:22 > 0:17:24You know, I'm going to use...

0:17:24 > 0:17:27I think it's one of Judith's tactics sometimes to just go straight down

0:17:27 > 0:17:29the middle, so I will follow that.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Irene Handl.- It's not. Eggheads?

0:17:32 > 0:17:34ALL: Beryl Reid.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Help us with the film - who has seen it, who knows about it?

0:17:36 > 0:17:39Well, it was rather surprising, because, before that, she had

0:17:39 > 0:17:42been a different kind of actress and this was a much more serious film.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44I thought she was a comedy actress.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Yes, she was a comedy actress before,

0:17:46 > 0:17:48and this was quite daring for when it was made,

0:17:48 > 0:17:51because films like that weren't made in those days.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55OK, Kevin, your question. If you get this, you've taken the round.

0:17:55 > 0:18:00Who starred as Paige opposite Channing Tatum as Leo,

0:18:00 > 0:18:04in the romantic drama film The Vow, released in the UK in 2012?

0:18:10 > 0:18:14Yes, well, I don't think it's... I think I know,

0:18:14 > 0:18:15although I haven't actually seen it.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17It's not Sandra Bullock

0:18:17 > 0:18:19or Natalie Portman - I think it's Rachel McAdams.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22You know because you have walked past cinemas and looked at posters?

0:18:22 > 0:18:24I've seen the poster, yes.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26You Eggheads, you do that, you look at film posters.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29I read reviews as well. I get a number of film magazines

0:18:29 > 0:18:30and that sort of thing.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34Rachel McAdams is right, so you've taken the round. Sorry, Barry.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Both of you, please come back and rejoin your teams,

0:18:36 > 0:18:38and we'll play on.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42We have got a bit of estoppel going on now, haven't we? This is tricky.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44How are we going to turn it around?

0:18:44 > 0:18:45We need some kind of injunction!

0:18:45 > 0:18:47An injunction!

0:18:47 > 0:18:50As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains,

0:18:50 > 0:18:52the Eggheads have just lost the one.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54And we go to our last subject, before the final,

0:18:54 > 0:18:58which is Politics, not the law, I'm afraid.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00So, lawyers?

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Who's got that sort of mind?

0:19:02 > 0:19:06- I think, by default, I'll take this topic.- Tom - Politics?

0:19:06 > 0:19:08- We're lambs to the slaughter. - You're good at public law...

0:19:08 > 0:19:11Which Egghead - Pat or Daphne? So either end.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Any preferences?

0:19:13 > 0:19:15I think Pat, I'll take Pat.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18So, Tom, from Ain't No Estopping Us Now, versus Pat from the Eggheads,

0:19:18 > 0:19:20please go to the Question Room.

0:19:22 > 0:19:23How have you ended up doing Politics?

0:19:23 > 0:19:25I thought sport was your thing, Tom.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Well, by default, I think, Jeremy, to be honest.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30It was between myself and Richard, and he's pretty poor on politics,

0:19:30 > 0:19:33so I've taken the step up there.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36Do you take an interest in the TV, and read the papers?

0:19:36 > 0:19:39A bit of Question Time every now and again, I try and read a few papers,

0:19:39 > 0:19:43maybe not highbrow papers, but, yes, I take an interest.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45You are 25 years old.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48We're told that 25-year-olds wouldn't look at an old-fashioned

0:19:48 > 0:19:52newspaper, because you're doing it on pads and devices and phones.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54I am a bit of a technophobe, so I am pretty old-school,

0:19:54 > 0:19:56in that respect, I like a good broadsheet.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58You've actually bought a newspaper, have you?

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Yes, as recently as Sunday, so yes.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Well, that's great, then, there's hope, in that case.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05All right, good luck on Politics. I will ask each of you three

0:20:05 > 0:20:08questions in turn, and, Tom, you can choose the first or the second set.

0:20:08 > 0:20:12I think I'll stick to the team plan and choose the first set.

0:20:15 > 0:20:16Here we go, good luck.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19What name is often used to describe an outsider's attempts

0:20:19 > 0:20:22to act as an intermediary in a political dispute,

0:20:22 > 0:20:27by travelling between the disputing parties' locations?

0:20:34 > 0:20:38I think caravan diplomacy is probably a bit obvious,

0:20:38 > 0:20:42and the one that stuck out to me first up was probably

0:20:42 > 0:20:45backdoor diplomacy, so I'll go with backdoor diplomacy.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49You know, but it's not. It's shuttle diplomacy.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52What is the most famous example of shuttle diplomacy?

0:20:52 > 0:20:56The Norwegians with the Oslo Peace Accords for the Middle East,

0:20:56 > 0:20:58going back about...a way, now,

0:20:58 > 0:21:00but the Norwegians were seen as honest brokers,

0:21:00 > 0:21:02so they did a lot of that.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04OK, sorry, Tom, it's shuttle diplomacy.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Here we go with Pat's question.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10The terms, Zil lanes, originally referred to roads reserved

0:21:10 > 0:21:14exclusively for the cars of senior political figures of which country?

0:21:17 > 0:21:21I think they have still got a bad reputation in Moscow -

0:21:21 > 0:21:26they've got magic blue lights that the top dogs put on their cars.

0:21:26 > 0:21:32The Zil is a Russian limo, favoured by the senior men, so it's Russia.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Russia is the correct answer, Pat.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36OK, Tom, back to you.

0:21:36 > 0:21:40In 1997, which British politician declared, in an interview

0:21:40 > 0:21:43with John Humphrys, that he was a pretty straight sort of guy?

0:21:48 > 0:21:54Well, obviously Tony Blair came to power, as it were, in '97.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58So that might be an obvious choice, but I'm not going with him.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Probably, the straightest of those three was John Major,

0:22:01 > 0:22:03so I'll go with him.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05He will take that as a big compliment, I'm sure,

0:22:05 > 0:22:08but he is the wrong answer, because it was Mr Blair.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11After...what was the row, anyone remember?

0:22:11 > 0:22:15- Ecclestone.- Ecclestone. It was the first party-funding scandal.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18- Yes.- OK, Tony Blair is the answer, Tom.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21Over to you, Pat. If you get this one right, you have taken the round.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23Journalist Joe Haynes

0:22:23 > 0:22:27is best known for his role as Press Secretary to which Prime Minister?

0:22:32 > 0:22:34I've heard of this chap, but I don't know much about him.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Joe Haynes...

0:22:37 > 0:22:41I have a feeling that it's a Labour Prime Minister I need,

0:22:41 > 0:22:43so I don't think it's Edward Heath.

0:22:43 > 0:22:44Joe Haynes...

0:22:48 > 0:22:51I'm not sure. It's going to be something of a guess.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54I'll go with Harold Wilson.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58Harold Wilson is the correct answer, you've got it.

0:22:58 > 0:23:02I think it was the whole Marcia Falkender era and that stuff.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05So, you're right, Pat, you've got two,

0:23:05 > 0:23:09and, Tom, you've got two wrong, so you won't be in the final, and

0:23:09 > 0:23:13if you have both come back to us, we will play that crucial final round.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15So, this is what we've been playing towards -

0:23:15 > 0:23:17it is time for the final round,

0:23:17 > 0:23:18which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be

0:23:21 > 0:23:24allowed to take part in this round, so, Mark, Tom,

0:23:24 > 0:23:27and Barry from Ain't No Estopping Us Now,

0:23:27 > 0:23:31and Dave from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio?

0:23:32 > 0:23:34Well, good luck, Liam and Rich -

0:23:34 > 0:23:39you're playing to Win Ain't No Estopping Us Now £15,000.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42And, Pat, Judith, Kevin and Daphne, you're playing for something money

0:23:42 > 0:23:45can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn,

0:23:48 > 0:23:52and this time, the questions are all General Knowledge. You can confer.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55So, Ain't No Estopping Us Now, the question is,

0:23:55 > 0:23:58are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:23:58 > 0:24:00Do you want to go first or second?

0:24:00 > 0:24:02Jeremy, we will go first, please.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07Good luck to you, guys. Here we go.

0:24:07 > 0:24:11In employment, whose turn is it said to be if somebody is assigned

0:24:11 > 0:24:14a post by rotation rather than according to merit?

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Didn't Tom do employment law?

0:24:23 > 0:24:25I think he did.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27Any of them ringing any bells?

0:24:27 > 0:24:28Not for me, no.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30It would be an absolute punt...

0:24:30 > 0:24:32Yes, let's think about it.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35- Have you ever heard anyone say Buggins?- No.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37Can we eliminate any?

0:24:37 > 0:24:41- When we do our seat rotation, we'll use whatever the...- Yes.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45Just go with a stab in the dark.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Right, can we eliminate any?

0:24:48 > 0:24:50Buggins sounds odd to me...

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Yes, I would...

0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Not based on anything, in particular.- No, not Buggins.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58Shall we punt on Miggins?

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Jeggins or Miggins? Maybe it's Jeggins.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06I'm happy to leave it to you. Take a punt on one of them two.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10- We'll have punt at Jeggins, please.- Jeggins' turn, OK.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12OK, I don't know where this comes from, it's not Jeggins,

0:25:12 > 0:25:15I'm afraid, it's Buggins' turn. It just means that somebody has

0:25:15 > 0:25:20got into a job, and it's not really on merit, it's just on rotation.

0:25:20 > 0:25:21Buggins' turn.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25There we go. Eggheads, your question.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28In psychiatry, the condition known as an anhedonia

0:25:28 > 0:25:30is the inability to experience what?

0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Pleasure?- Sounds like pleasure.

0:25:36 > 0:25:40Yes. Erm, that's pleasure, Jeremy.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42Hedonistic means...

0:25:42 > 0:25:45pleasure, enjoying pleasure.

0:25:45 > 0:25:49So, hedonistic means pleasure- seeking, so anhedonia means

0:25:49 > 0:25:52no pleasure. You're right. Pleasure is the answer. Can't experience it.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54OK, your second question - you have to get this one right,

0:25:54 > 0:25:57really, to keep some kind of pressure on them.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00In the 1970s, which recording duo won a Grammy

0:26:00 > 0:26:04for Record of the Year for the song Love Will Keep Us Together?

0:26:08 > 0:26:10You're the music man, mate.

0:26:10 > 0:26:14Is not really my era - there's a bit of a gap in my knowledge

0:26:14 > 0:26:19from about 1965 to about 1995. Unfortunately, it falls in that...

0:26:19 > 0:26:21CHALLENGERS CHUCKLE

0:26:21 > 0:26:23Have you heard of any of them?

0:26:23 > 0:26:26I'd have a punt on Godley and Creme.

0:26:26 > 0:26:30Mine would be Peters and Lee, but it's a total guess.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32It's not based on anything.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34We have no basis for our answer, Jeremy,

0:26:34 > 0:26:36but we will go for Peter and Lee.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39Peters and Lee? Are they right?

0:26:39 > 0:26:41- I don't think so.- Who is it?

0:26:41 > 0:26:43Is it Captain & Tennille?

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Captain & Tennille is the right answer.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48So, you're in a pickle, to be fair...

0:26:48 > 0:26:49Just a wee bit...

0:26:49 > 0:26:51..because if the Eggheads get another question right,

0:26:51 > 0:26:53that's going to be it.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56Eggheads, this for the competition.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Which national football team play their home matches

0:26:58 > 0:27:01at Almaty Central Stadium?

0:27:07 > 0:27:10- So, that's A-l-m-a-t-y?- Yes.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12Well, that's, Kazakhstan, that's the capital.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17Well, we assume, that it's Kazakhstan,

0:27:17 > 0:27:19because that is the capital of Kazakhstan.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Almaty is the capital of Kazakhstan, is it?- Yes.

0:27:22 > 0:27:26- We seem to have Kazakhstan coming up a lot, these days.- Former capital.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28- Former capital. - Former capital.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30It's the former capital? Well, what is it now?

0:27:30 > 0:27:32- Astana.- Astana.

0:27:32 > 0:27:33That's right.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36The correct answer is Kazakhstan, so we say congratulations,

0:27:36 > 0:27:38Eggheads, you have won.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46It's very, very hard if you get the first one wrong.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Yes, the pressure grows, doesn't it?
