0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is: can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:33against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37Taking on our quiz Goliaths today are The Mighty Squirrels.
0:00:37 > 0:00:43This team know one another through Haslington Cricket Club in Cheshire. Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Hello, I'm Jon, I'm 51 and I'm an online retailer.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Tom, I'm 23 and a customer services adviser.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm James, I'm 20 and a leisure assistant.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Andy, I'm 51 and a sales manager.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Richard, I'm 53 and a Director of Corporate Services.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07- Welcome, Jon, welcome, team.- Thanks. - Mighty Squirrels is the club name?
0:01:07 > 0:01:13No, the name is Haslington, but the squirrel is part of our logo, the emblem.
0:01:13 > 0:01:20- So you're all keen cricketers? - In some way, shape or form.- You have a very interesting business.
0:01:20 > 0:01:26- I sell umpiring equipment online. - So you realised there was nowhere obvious to buy it?
0:01:26 > 0:01:32Not a one-stop shop, so I thought the opportunity was there to do it.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35There is an internet site for everything! Amazing.
0:01:35 > 0:01:41- There was no way of getting them easily before?- Not in one place. - OK, good luck here.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45You can be the umpire and decide they have no points, if you have to.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53If they fail to win, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:53 > 0:01:59So the Eggheads have won the last 17 games. They're on a bit of a run.
0:01:59 > 0:02:05- £18,000 says you can't beat them today. Shall we get cracking? - Let's do it.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08The first Head to Head is Sport.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10This is up your street.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- James.- James?- Definitely. - Which Egghead would you like?
0:02:14 > 0:02:19- You can have any of them.- Daphne? - Daphne's a very good guesser.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- We'll go with Daphne. - She is a good guesser.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27We called her Pot Luck Daphne. I don't know how she does it.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32So James from the Mighty Squirrels against the mighty Egghead Daphne,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35please go to the Question Room.
0:02:35 > 0:02:42- James, you love your sport? - I do, yes.- You've sat in every seat at Crewe Alexandria's stadium?
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Yeah, all 10,000 of them. - So what was the rule there?
0:02:46 > 0:02:52- Do them all in three hours? - No, it was just trying to do it as quickly as possible.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57- I did it in 5 hours 28 minutes. - Great. Three questions on sport.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Whoever answers the most correctly is the winner.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- Would you like first or second? - I'll go second, please.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Here we go, Daphne.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14Chris Robshaw captained which team in the 2012 rugby union Six Nations?
0:03:17 > 0:03:23He captained...England despite only having one cap.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27That's a good bit of ancillary information.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31England is right. Is she right about that, James?
0:03:31 > 0:03:38- That's what I thought.- OK. With which role is England cricketer Monty Panesar most associated?
0:03:42 > 0:03:47If I get this wrong, I'll get crucified, so spin bowler.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Spin bowler is correct. Your life is safe. Daphne,
0:03:51 > 0:03:57how long did it take Novak Djokovic to defeat Rafael Nadal in the final of the men's singles tournament
0:03:57 > 0:04:00at the 2012 Australian Open?
0:04:08 > 0:04:14Well, I know it was the longest-ever Grand Slam final.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17So I'm hoping it was 7 hours.
0:04:17 > 0:04:23- OK, I kind of see the logic there. Because it's the longest-ever, it must be the biggest number.- Yeah.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- But it's not.- It's not. That led you astray. 5 hours 53 minutes.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32But still the longest Grand Slam final in tennis history.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34So, James,
0:04:34 > 0:04:39she's given you an in here. In which city did the athlete Steve Ovett win an Olympic gold medal?
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Right. Athletics is probably the worst thing that could come up,
0:04:48 > 0:04:53so I'm not entirely sure. I'm going to literally have to have a guess at this.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56And I will go with Moscow.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Moscow is correct. You're playing well.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Daphne, get this wrong... - And I'm gone.- You're a goner.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09Which footballer scored the most goals at the 1990 World Cup?
0:05:17 > 0:05:191990.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Italy, so I think...
0:05:21 > 0:05:25I think it was Salvatore Schillaci.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30You're quite right. Well done. Salvatore Schillaci.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32You're back in,
0:05:32 > 0:05:36but, James, get this right to win. Eli Manning is a famous name in which sport?
0:05:40 > 0:05:45I've got a friend and literally every other thing he says is about American football.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50I'm pretty sure this name's come up, so I'll go for American football.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54You're playing very well. You've booked a place in the final.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Good start! Sorry, Daphne.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02- That's all right. - 2 out of 3's not good enough here and you're out of the contest.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Please both rejoin your teams.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10The challengers have not lost a brain, but the Eggheads have.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13The next subject is Film and TV.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Who would like this?
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- What are we going to do? - That one's interesting.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- Film and TV?- No.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26- You go for it.- I'll go for this one, then.- OK, Andy.
0:06:26 > 0:06:32- Which Egghead would you like? - You said you wanted to take on Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37I would like to have a go with Chris, but...
0:06:37 > 0:06:43I think I'm going to go with Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47OK, Andy versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:06:51 > 0:06:57- Cricket's a big part of your life? - It's been a big part of my life for a long time.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02Played it for a long time, gave up, had my injuries fixed and repaired
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- and then started umpiring. - Dave, are you into cricket or not?
0:07:06 > 0:07:14Very big cricket fan. It was always an ambition of mine to go to the MCG for the Boxing Day Test,
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- which I managed to achieve just after I got married.- All right.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22We're on Film and TV here. Three questions, multiple choice.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- First or second set? - I will also go second, please.
0:07:29 > 0:07:35Here we go. Dave, good luck. What is the profession of Sam Neill's character in Jurassic Park?
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Right. I haven't actually seen the film, but I'll hazard a guess
0:07:45 > 0:07:49that he's a palaeontologist.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52He is a palaeontologist. Well done.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Andy, over to you.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59Andrea McLean and Carol Vorderman regularly present which daytime TV show?
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Oh.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Daytime TV.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13I don't think they will have done anything to do with politics.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19I don't think it's The Wright Stuff.
0:08:19 > 0:08:25And I'm pretty sure Andrea McLean has presented Loose Women.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Loose Women is the right answer.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Dave,
0:08:29 > 0:08:35who played a nurse called Chummy when the TV series Call The Midwife was first broadcast in 2012?
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Again, I haven't seen this programme, surprisingly,
0:08:44 > 0:08:51but obviously a very big hit of the time. Not Sally Phillips, not Celia Imrie.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56There was a lot of publicity about Chummy getting married. Miranda Hart.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Miranda Hart is the right answer.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01OK, Andy.
0:09:01 > 0:09:07As well as Best Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone was nominated for an Academy Award
0:09:07 > 0:09:11in which category for his work on the 1976 film Rocky?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20OK. Well...
0:09:20 > 0:09:26I'm not so sure Sylvester Stallone has got anything really to do with music,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29so I'll go for one of the other two.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35I don't think he directed it. We'll go Best Actor.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Best Actor is correct.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Dave,
0:09:40 > 0:09:45the film The Descendants, released in the UK in 2012, is set in which US state?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53I haven't seen the film. I wanted to see it.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57I think it centres on a man who's been a landowner
0:09:57 > 0:10:02or basically somebody who's been active in business,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04played by George Clooney,
0:10:04 > 0:10:11and his wife is involved in an accident so he has to go through all the trauma with his family.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16And I think that he goes back to Hawaii.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Hawaii is the correct answer. Well done. Over to you, Andy.
0:10:20 > 0:10:28Which actress wrote episodes of some TV programmes in which she starred, using the pseudonym Jonathan Marr?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Well...
0:10:35 > 0:10:39this is a good one. They always are if you don't know the answer.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- And you need to get this right. - I don't know.
0:10:44 > 0:10:52I always loved Jan Francis in the various things she was in, especially Just Good Friends.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Wendy Craig in Butterflies.
0:10:54 > 0:11:00Francesca Annis, because she's in the middle. Francesca Annis.
0:11:00 > 0:11:06- Let me see if Dave knows this. Dave?- I would have thought it's Wendy Craig.
0:11:06 > 0:11:13I think when she did Mother Makes Five and those things that she did write certain episodes.
0:11:13 > 0:11:20I haven't got any other logic, really, to go on, but Wendy Craig more seems to be who would write
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- and get involved on the creative side.- Wendy Craig is right.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29Andy, sorry. Dave was right and you were wrong on that.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34You've been knocked out by our Egghead. They're level with you.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Do rejoin your teams here in the studio.
0:11:38 > 0:11:44The challengers have lost one brain. The Eggheads have also lost a brain from the final round.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47The next subject is Geography. Who would like this?
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- That's you, Tom. - Against which Egghead?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Barry, please. - You've thought about this!
0:11:54 > 0:11:59Tom from the Mighty Squirrels against Barry from the Eggheads.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04- You've had a lot of geography lately.- I'm enjoying them now.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:12:07 > 0:12:14- Tom, Geography. You were determined to take it.- Em, yeah. I studied it at A Level, got an A in it,
0:12:14 > 0:12:18so I'm hoping that things that I know come up, really!
0:12:18 > 0:12:24OK, three questions in turn. You can choose the first or second set.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I'll go against the grain. First, please.
0:12:29 > 0:12:36Good luck. Evenly matched so far. The African country Gabon is bordered by which ocean?
0:12:41 > 0:12:47I've got a feeling that it's on the eastern side of Africa
0:12:47 > 0:12:49and that would be the Atlantic.
0:12:50 > 0:12:56- OK. Atlantic is your answer. If it's eastern...- Sorry, west!
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Yeah, but you got the right answer.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- Wrong side and the right ocean! - Yeah.- Atlantic is right.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Barry,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Berlin is in which part of Germany?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Eh...
0:13:12 > 0:13:18Working on the assumption that the Russians got there in WWII, it must be in the north east.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22North east is the right answer. It was inside East Germany.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- It was indeed. - Even the west bit.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Tom, Tignes is a ski resort in which European country?
0:13:33 > 0:13:38I haven't done much skiing myself. I've been a couple of times.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Only in France.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48I've got a feeling it's France. Yeah, go for France, please.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Two out of two. Well done. Playing well, Tom. Barry,
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Yemen is bordered by Oman and which other country?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Oh, that's quite a tough one. Let me see.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09Er, Yemen is at the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula.
0:14:09 > 0:14:15Qatar and the United Arab Emirates I believe are at the top end, so it must be Saudi Arabia.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Saudi Arabia is the right answer.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Tom, third question. Playing well, but he's neck and neck with you.
0:14:22 > 0:14:29The Mehrangarh Fort is a feature of the city of Jodhpur in which Indian state?
0:14:29 > 0:14:34Mehrangarh is M-E-H-R-A-N-G-A-R-H.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43I have absolutely no idea.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48I don't know why, but when I saw the three,
0:14:48 > 0:14:52the first one my eyes were drawn to was Tamil Nadu,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55so I'm going to go for Tamil Nadu. Oh...
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Yeah. Tamil Nadu.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03When you said, "The first one I was drawn to," I thought you'd get it.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07It's the first one that came up - Rajasthan. Tamil Nadu was incorrect.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10So you've got two out of three.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Let's see if Barry books his place in the final.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Maribor, one of the European Capitals of Culture for 2012,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19is the second largest city in which country?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25It's certainly not Belarus.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Maribor, I've heard of this.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29I believe it's in Slovenia.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33If you're right, Barry, you're in the final round.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36You're correct. Slovenia is the right answer.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Sorry, Tom, you've been knocked out there. You played well though.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:15:43 > 0:15:49So the challengers have lost two brains and the Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52The last subject for you is History.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Who would like this?
0:15:54 > 0:16:00- That's what you were going for.- That was one of my subjects. It's dropped lucky.- Richard?- Definitely me.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Against which Egghead? You can have Chris or Pat.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- What do we think?- I'm not sure.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- It's your choice. - Chris? I'll take on Chris.
0:16:09 > 0:16:15All right, so Richard from The Mighty Squirrels versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19To ensure no conferring, take your positions in the question room.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- OK, Richard, History...- Indeed.
0:16:21 > 0:16:27I gather, just before we go on, that you worked with or for Alan Sugar?
0:16:27 > 0:16:31I did, Jeremy. In the '80s, I worked for Amstrad
0:16:31 > 0:16:36as it was becoming the success story of the '80s.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41- Was he inspirational to work with? - He was, and equally as fearsome as you see on the TV.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44He was a lot younger then, but he hasn't lost his edge.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49- Did you ever hear him say the immortal words to any of your colleagues?- Not in earshot.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54Alan Sugar, there we are. I'll ask each of you three questions on History in turn.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59- Choose the first or second set. - As a bowler, I liked to get my work done, then put my feet up,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01so I'm going to go first, Jeremy.
0:17:04 > 0:17:10Here is your question. How was Louis XVI's wife Marie Antoinette executed?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Various methods of execution...
0:17:18 > 0:17:23But being in France, the most favoured method of executing people
0:17:23 > 0:17:25was the guillotine,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28so I'm going to go for guillotine.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Guillotine is the right answer. Well done.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Chris, your question.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38Edward III, who ruled England for 50 years during the 14th century, was a member of which royal house?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44He was a Plantagenet.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48He was indeed a Plantagenet. So one each. Back to you, Richard.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51What type of weapon was the medieval pike?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Well, medieval, it's not going to be a cannon.
0:17:59 > 0:18:05And I probably wouldn't have thought in medieval times a crossbow was...
0:18:07 > 0:18:11..around, but having watched Robin Hood, they certainly used crossbows.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Whether that's medieval or not,
0:18:13 > 0:18:17spears have been around for a long time.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21A pike, I think, was something with, um...
0:18:23 > 0:18:26..a bit of, uh...
0:18:27 > 0:18:29..something on the top.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33I'm going to go for a spear, Jeremy, please. A spear.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Spear is the correct answer, Richard. Chris, your question.
0:18:37 > 0:18:43In 1964, a collision in the Thames between two ships caused the loss of 42 what,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46which had been en route for Cuba at the time?
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Whoa!
0:18:55 > 0:18:58We weren't exporting telephone boxes to Cuba.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02We hadn't started phasing out the real telephone boxes then
0:19:02 > 0:19:05for conversion into shower cabinets and what have you.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09I don't think we were exporting combine harvesters to Cuba
0:19:09 > 0:19:11because Cuba's main crop is sugar.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15You don't harvest that with a combine harvester,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17but from about 1960 onwards,
0:19:17 > 0:19:21London Transport were replacing the RT fleet with the RM fleet
0:19:21 > 0:19:24and there were a lot of redundant London buses
0:19:24 > 0:19:28which could be flogged off, so we were sending buses to Cuba.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33- It's buses.- I love the way you held your knowledge off to the end there.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Buses is absolutely right. I've never heard about this story.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40At the bottom of the Thames somewhere, there's 42 buses?
0:19:40 > 0:19:44They were a hazard to navigation. They were salvaged and scrapped.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- They weren't just left? - No, the Thames isn't that deep.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Richard, your third question.
0:19:50 > 0:19:56In May 1941, sailors from which Royal Navy ship boarded the German U-110 submarine,
0:19:56 > 0:19:59leading to the capture of an Enigma cipher machine?
0:20:04 > 0:20:08It's certainly not HMS Somali.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15It was either Lightning or it was Bulldog.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I think I will go for...
0:20:22 > 0:20:24..HMS Lightning.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Let me ask Chris and see if he knows. You love your military stuff.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32I think it was HMS Somali, a Tribal-class destroyer.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- No. Anyone?- HMS Bulldog.- HMS Bulldog is the right answer, Richard.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39You got it wrong. It seems unfair since Chris did as well.
0:20:39 > 0:20:45That's the way the cookie crumbles. It means Chris has a chance to book his place in the final.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Which tribe occupied lands in south-west Wales
0:20:48 > 0:20:52at the time of the Roman conquest of Britain?
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Ah...
0:21:00 > 0:21:04It wasn't the Iceni. They were Boadicea's tribe in East Anglia.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I've never heard of the middle one, Taexali.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12So it's the Demetae.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Do you think he's right, Richard?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17I actually would have no idea either,
0:21:17 > 0:21:21but from your reaction, I would go for the middle one.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23HE LAUGHS
0:21:23 > 0:21:25No, it's just Chris is a very good quizzer
0:21:25 > 0:21:29and he just rumbustiously pounds his way through the options
0:21:29 > 0:21:32and often ends up on the right one and he's done it this time.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36It is the Demetae, Chris, so you're in the final.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Come back to us and we will play the final round.
0:21:38 > 0:21:45This is what we have been playing towards, the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads cannot take part,
0:21:50 > 0:21:55so, Tom, Andy and Richard from The Mighty Squirrels and also Daphne from the Eggheads,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:58 > 0:22:04So, Jon and James, here we are, you are playing to win The Mighty Squirrels £18,000.
0:22:04 > 0:22:10Dave, Chris, Barry and Pat, you are playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15I will ask each team three questions in turn. This time, they are all General Knowledge.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17You are allowed to confer.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22Mighty Squirrels, the question is, are your two brains able to take down the Eggheads' four?
0:22:22 > 0:22:26- And would you like to go first or second?- We'll go first.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Good luck to you. First question.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36Which chess piece occupies the corner positions at the start of a game?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- Castle.- Castle?- Castle, yeah.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Castle.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47Castle is the right answer. Well done. Over to you, Eggheads.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50"Fraise" is the French word for which fruit?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- Strawberry.- Strawberry.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58That's strawberry, Jeremy.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Strawberry is the right answer. Back to you, Squirrels.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Farm Boy is the sequel to which popular book?
0:23:09 > 0:23:13War Horse was based on a farm.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16The story started based on a farm.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21- Black Beauty, I'm not sure of. - So do you want to go with War Horse?
0:23:21 > 0:23:25I think it tends to be going back to the farm possibly?
0:23:26 > 0:23:30- OK.- OK, happy with that? - Yeah, I'm happy with that.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33We'll plump for War Horse, please, Jeremy.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36War Horse is the right answer.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Good, steady, logical answering.
0:23:40 > 0:23:46Eggheads, "We are such stuff as dreams are made on and our little life is rounded with a sleep"
0:23:46 > 0:23:50are lines spoken by which character in Shakespeare's play, The Tempest?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- It's Prospero, isn't it?- Prospero.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- Are you sure?- Yes, absolutely sure.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02It couldn't be Ariel?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05It's not fairy enough for Ariel, so it's Prospero.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- OK.- I think he's speaking to Miranda at the time.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11OK, we think that's Prospero.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Yeah, Barry knows his Shakespeare. Prospero it is.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17So, two each.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22We're on the third question. If you get all three right, which I really recommend,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25there's 18,000 being played for and they can slip up.
0:24:25 > 0:24:31In January 2012, Margrethe II celebrated her 40th jubilee as the queen of which country?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- I've got a... Hmm.- Go on.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42I was tending towards Denmark, but I've got no idea why.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Yeah, I seem to remember something along those lines.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50- I don't remember seeing either of the other two in the papers.- No, I don't.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54I'm definitely swaying towards... towards Denmark.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56OK, yeah, go for that.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01We're not quite so sure, Jeremy, but we'll have a punt at Denmark.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04The Queen who celebrated her 40th jubilee
0:25:04 > 0:25:07was Margrethe II of Denmark.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Well done. You got three out of three. Couldn't have asked for more.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14You're one question away from that money
0:25:14 > 0:25:18because if the Eggheads get this wrong, then the game is over.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22The theme tune of which TV series
0:25:22 > 0:25:28was an arrangement of the traditional folk song, Johnny Todd?
0:25:33 > 0:25:37It's Z Cars. It's the one they play at Everton.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40The one they play at Everton matches. Definitely Z Cars.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Z Cars, Jeremy.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Z Cars is the right answer. Three each, playing well.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48We go to Sudden Death.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52£18,000 to play for and I don't give you alternative answers.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Which Samuel Beckett play features the quotation,
0:25:55 > 0:26:02"Give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant and then it's night once more"?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- No.- No. I'm terrible with plays.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I'm struggling with that one.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I really am.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I'm struggling with that one, I'm afraid.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Just have a guess. I don't know any, so...
0:26:20 > 0:26:24No, I can't even come up with an answer there, I'm afraid.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30Is it The Gravedigger? The Gravedigger we'll put as an answer.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33The Gravedigger... Let me see if the Eggheads know.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- Is it Waiting For Godot? - Waiting For Godot is the answer.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39So if the Eggheads get this,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41they've taken the contest.
0:26:41 > 0:26:48Anthony Newley's version of which English folk song reached No.3 in the UK charts in 1960?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53What English folk songs do we have? Newley...
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Greensleeves, Green Grow The Rushes, O...
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Scarborough Fair?- I can't think.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Oh, is it Strawberry Fair? - Strawberry Fair.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Is it Strawberry Fair? - That makes sense.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14- I think he did do Strawberry Fair. - In the early '60s, yeah.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17# Buttercups and daisies... #
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- Yes.- I think it's Strawberry Fair. - Strawberry Fair?- Strawberry Fair.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24We think it might be Strawberry Fair.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29As you talked, I thought, "You are drawing a total blank here."
0:27:29 > 0:27:34Then Dave, Tremendous Knowledge Dave pops up with the answer Strawberry Fair,
0:27:34 > 0:27:39proving he is definitely an Egghead because that is the correct answer.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Strawberry Fair. Congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- Well done, Dave. - That was good, Dave.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52That just came like that?
0:27:52 > 0:27:56You find something in the recesses sometimes, so that one came up.
0:27:56 > 0:28:02- I was thinking of his other records. That didn't spring immediately. - Tricky question, that.- Very hard.
0:28:02 > 0:28:08- Anyway, thank you for playing in a very good cricketing spirit. - Thank you very much. We enjoyed it.
0:28:08 > 0:28:14Commiserations. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and their winning streak continues.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19You won't be going home with the £18,000, so the money rolls over.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:23 > 0:28:28Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30£19,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
