0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 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 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:30against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are Eggstra Curricular.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41This team are volunteers at the British Schools Museum in Hitchin.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hello, my name is Andy, I am 48 years old
0:00:45 > 0:00:47and I'm a volunteer museum manager.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52Hello, my name's John, I'm 66 years old and I'm a fire consultant.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Terry, I'm 65 years old and I am a retired rocket scientist.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Denise, I'm 64 and a translator.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hello, my name's Al, I'm 33 years old
0:01:04 > 0:01:05and I'm a theatre production manager.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07- Andy and team, welcome. - Thank you, Jeremy.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10The British Schools Museum, tell me about that.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14The British Schools Museum in Hitchin is not a traditional museum
0:01:14 > 0:01:17with displays and cases and cabinets, it's very much a living museum.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21We have a fascinating complex of historic buildings dating back
0:01:21 > 0:01:27to 1837 and through to 1905, when the last construction was built.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Within those buildings,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31we invite people in to recreate their school days.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Victorian school days, Second World War school days,
0:01:34 > 0:01:35all those sorts of things.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- So you have the old exercise books and inkwells?- We do.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- Even the odd cane, I guess? - We have canes.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45For threatening rather than use these days,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49but people can try out their hand writing on old-fashioned slates
0:01:49 > 0:01:54and dip pens with ink and really get back to the Victorian school days.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56OK, good luck in the game.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Every day, there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08So, Eggstra Curricular, the Eggheads have won the last 18 games.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09They have had quite a good streak,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12which means that £19,000 says you cannot beat them today.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Would you like to get cracking? - We would love to.- OK.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Silence in class,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19the first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Arts & Books.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Oh, that's perfect, isn't it?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24That suits us quite well, I think. Thank you.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- Who wants this?- Al, I think you...- Sounds like me, doesn't it?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- It does.- OK, I'll take Arts & Books.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Against which Egghead, Al?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Judith, Pat, Barry, Chris, Daphne? Any of them.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40I think we're going to have a crack at Pat.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44OK, Al from Eggstra Curricular versus Pat on Arts & Books.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52And it will be three multiple-choice questions on Arts & Books
0:02:52 > 0:02:55and Al, you can choose the first or second set.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56I'll go first, please.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Good luck to you and your team, Eggstra Curricular. Here we go.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06The art form "quilling" typically uses what as its primary material?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Er, I'm not sure.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I guess if it's quilling, anything to do with quill,
0:03:15 > 0:03:20it might be paper, so I think I'll go paper.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Paper is your answer and it's correct. Well done.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Is that what it is, Eggheads, in the studio here?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- It means just drawing with a quill? - It's making models out of paper.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Making models out of paper? - CHRIS:- Rolls of paper, yeah.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Oh.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38OK, Pat, Elizabeth Kostova's best-selling novel
0:03:38 > 0:03:43The Historian is based around the legend of which character?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I don't know this. The Historian.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Dracula, the book,
0:03:51 > 0:03:56is written as a series of letters recounting his adventures.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59King Kong is on Skull Island.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02And Godzilla just rampages. The Historian.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07I can't see any obvious way of working it out.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I really have no idea at all.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12And with little conviction, I'll say Dracula.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14You can have more conviction than that.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16You're quite right, Dracula it is.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Al, Irving Stone's best-selling novel
0:04:20 > 0:04:24The Agony And The Ecstasy chronicles the life of which painter?
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Well, I stayed in Florence last year on holiday
0:04:33 > 0:04:37and we actually went to Vinci, had a look around Leonardo's house.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I don't know.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Vincent van Gogh, somewhere in my mind,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I seem to think he might have been troubled during his career,
0:04:45 > 0:04:51so maybe The Agony And The Ecstasy refers to some of that trouble.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52So I'm going to say Vincent van Gogh.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55OK. Anyone here know?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I think it's Michelangelo, painting the Sistine Chapel.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03It is Michelangelo, I'm afraid, Al, you got it wrong. Not Vincent.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Pat, which British film director
0:05:05 > 0:05:08and writer wrote the 1986 play Made In Bangkok?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I think I'm going to be guessing again.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17They're all British film directors.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I'm not sure whether all of them have written plays.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Mike Leigh has definitely written a few plays, I think.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I think I've only heard of Minghella as a director
0:05:27 > 0:05:32and Mike Figgis, it could be him, as well. Once again, I'm in the dark.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I'm going to go for Mike Leigh.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37No, it's Anthony Minghella. OK.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Al, you have one point each.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Your third question.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43What is the name of the early 15th-century English humorous poem
0:05:43 > 0:05:49in which a potter named Perkin takes part in a joust
0:05:49 > 0:05:53to prove his status as an eligible bachelor?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Never heard of it. Doing so well so far this round(!)
0:06:00 > 0:06:03On the basis that it includes a joust,
0:06:03 > 0:06:09and jousts are found in tournaments, and "potter", "Tottenham",
0:06:09 > 0:06:11there might be some rhyme there, I don't know.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15A tenuous link, but I'm going to go for the Tournament Of Tottenham.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17And you're quite right. Tournament Of Tottenham it is.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Pat, your question. If you don't get this right, you're not in the final.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26First published in 1903, the novel The Way Of All Flesh, which was seen
0:06:26 > 0:06:31as an attack on Victorian hypocrisy, is a work by which writer?
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Both Wharton and James are Americans, although, of course,
0:06:39 > 0:06:42that doesn't rule them out from attacking Victorian hypocrisy.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I have a very faint idea that this might be Samuel Butler.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49I'm not very confident. Samuel Butler.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Samuel Butler is the right answer.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54You're doing well with your guessing today, if I may say so.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56So we go to Sudden Death, Al. It gets a bit harder.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- I don't give alternatives, OK? - OK.- Here we go.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Cornard Wood and The Painter's Daughters Chasing A Butterfly
0:07:03 > 0:07:06are paintings by which English artist?
0:07:06 > 0:07:07My wife might know this.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11She's an art teacher and she's probably shouting what the answer is.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Um, nothing jumps out at me.
0:07:13 > 0:07:19Um, I'm going to say...Constable.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I would ask for the first name, as well as the last name,
0:07:21 > 0:07:26but it's the wrong answer, anyway. Thomas Gainsborough is the answer.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Pat, your question for the round, which German dramatist
0:07:29 > 0:07:33did the actress Helene Weigel marry in 1929?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36The first name that came into my head was Brecht.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39He certainly, at one point, was married to Lotte Lenya,
0:07:39 > 0:07:41but he could've been married more than once.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I think I'll assume that Brecht was married more than once
0:07:44 > 0:07:46and I'll go for Bertolt Brecht.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Bertolt Brecht is the correct answer.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Sorry, Al, you've been knocked out by our Egghead,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52so Pat will be in the final.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Do please both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58As it stands,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01the challengers have lost the first brain from the final round.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04The Eggheads are still intact and the next subject is Science.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08So which of you Eggstra Curriculars would like this?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Well, we do have a rocket scientist.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14You have a rocket scientist, that's true.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Terry, would you like to you,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19or shall we try Denise with the natural sciences?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Oh dear, oh dear. - It was likely to come up.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26OK, Terry, our rocket scientist, not to put pressure on him!
0:08:26 > 0:08:28OK, Terry against?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- What do you think, Judith?- Yes.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I'll take Judith, please.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Terry from Eggstra Curricular, the rocket scientist,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38have you ever played a rocket scientist before, Judith?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40I don't think we've ever had one on the programme.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- I don't think we have.- No. - Please go to the Question Room now.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49So how did you actually become a rocket scientist, Terry?
0:08:49 > 0:08:56I was finishing university in 1969 when man first landed on the Moon,
0:08:56 > 0:09:01so that got me and several of my fellow students quite excited
0:09:01 > 0:09:03about wanting to move into the space industry.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05And you did that and you built rockets?
0:09:05 > 0:09:11Well, satellites, yes, communication satellites, environmental satellites.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14And a little lander to go onto Mars.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Good luck to you both, three questions on Science in turn,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner
0:09:20 > 0:09:22and Terry, you can choose the first or second set.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24First, please, Jeremy.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Here we go, Terry, good luck to you.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Which internal organ of the human body has right and left auricles?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I know the heart has ventricles.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45The liver is one thing and the pancreas is one thing.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50I think the heart must have auricles as well, so I'm going to say heart.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Yes, I was worried you diverted, but you didn't and you're right.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Heart is correct. Well done.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Judith, here's your question.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Which British physicist wrote the 1988 book A Brief History Of Time?
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- That was Stephen Hawking.- Stephen Hawking is, of course, correct.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Well done.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Terry, what is the common name for plants of the Delphinium genus?
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Delphinium... I don't know much about larkspurs.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26I'm really going to have to guess on this one.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28It's, er, marigold.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Marigold is your answer.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34The natural sciences, Denise, would you have taken this question?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I would have taken larkspur.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41Yeah, Denise has given it to us, it's larkspur, Terry. Judith.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44To take the lead.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46In which decade did Cockcroft
0:10:46 > 0:10:49and Walton succeed in spitting the atom?
0:10:54 > 0:10:59I think it was the 1930s, because if it was earlier, the Germans
0:10:59 > 0:11:01would have done it, so I think it's the 1930s.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- You'll know this one, Terry, won't you?- I think it's 1930s, as well.
0:11:05 > 0:11:071930s is the right. Well done, you've taken the lead.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Terry, you've got to get this one right, OK?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11We don't want to lose you.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14What type of creature is a mud dauber?
0:11:17 > 0:11:23Right, that is making a house, or a nest, or a home out of mud, I guess.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27I don't think stick insects do that sort of thing.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Tarantulas are spiders.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32I would possibly not think they do.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36I know wasps do make things, their nests, out of mud.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37I'm going to go with wasp.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Well done, you got it absolutely right.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I feel bad we've got you on the natural sciences here
0:11:43 > 0:11:46and your expertise is elsewhere, but don't worry.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Judith, if you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Named after an American scientist, the Keeling Curve
0:11:51 > 0:11:56measures the concentration of what in the Earth's atmosphere?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Oh, gosh, I don't know.
0:12:01 > 0:12:07Um, I imagine he's a sort of environmental man.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I think it might be methane.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Methane is your answer. Must throw this back to Terry. You'll know.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18I'm not certain, but... Let's go for carbon dioxide.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20You go carbon dioxide. Barry, do you know?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I would have said carbon dioxide.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25The answer is carbon dioxide, Judith, so we go to Sudden Death.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Terry, well done, you hung on in there.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30It's a bit more difficult now. I don't give alternatives.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Which sea creature belonging to the Phocoenidae family,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36and with species called Dall's and Burmeister's,
0:12:36 > 0:12:40takes its name from the Latin for "pig fish"?
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Pig fish.
0:12:41 > 0:12:47A sea creature. I can only take a blind guess, I'm afraid.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49A sea urchin.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52No, you'll kick yourself when you hear this. Denise, do you know?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54No.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Porpoise.- Oh.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- Yes.- Almost just the words "pig fish" translate there.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02OK, Judith, for the round.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07The Encke Gap is a feature of which planet in the solar system?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Saturn.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Is she right?- Yes, she is.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13It's the gap between the rings, not as well known
0:13:13 > 0:13:16as the Cassini Division, but it is a gap on Saturn's rings.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Judith, you've taken the round. You've beaten a rocket scientist.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Sorry, Terry, it can be like that, I'm afraid.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Will both of you please come back and join your team-mates?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Andy, crisis or just a moment of alarm?- Early days.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33The challengers lost two brains, the Eggheads have not lost a brain,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36despite a head-to-head with a rocket scientist.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41The next subject is History, so which challenger would like History?
0:13:41 > 0:13:46- Right, that's going to be me, Jeremy. - OK, against which Egghead?- Oh.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Daphne, Chris, Barry on the right-hand side there?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Not an easy choice.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54I'm going to have a try at Barry, if I may, please?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57OK, Andy from Eggstra Curricular versus Barry from the Eggheads
0:13:57 > 0:13:59on History. Please take your positions.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04So it was sheer passion that brought you into the Schools Museum,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- was it, Andy? - It is, really, Jeremy, yes.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11I started doing guided tours once a month on a Saturday morning
0:14:11 > 0:14:14and now I'm there most days, really.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17It's very interesting, museums now, particularly for parents with
0:14:17 > 0:14:22young children, just how wonderfully engaging and interactive they are.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Indeed, yes, we love to have our school parties in.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29They come as evacuees to our Second World War programme,
0:14:29 > 0:14:33write letters home to their mum and dad and visit our air-raid shelter,
0:14:33 > 0:14:37try on gas masks. Or they come as Victorian children,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39often dressed up when they come, and their teachers in costume,
0:14:39 > 0:14:44and get real Victorian lessons, but without the corporal punishment.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45OK, good luck in this round,
0:14:45 > 0:14:48three questions on History, which I know is your favourite subject.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Andy, you can choose the first or second set.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I think I'll go first again.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Good luck. What was the name of the mother of Julius Caesar?
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Hmm.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Now, does one's mind automatically go blank, or is this something
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I haven't seen or read?
0:15:13 > 0:15:17I'm pretty sure it's not Olympias.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I don't recognise Imilce.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24So I'm going for Aurelia, something rings a bell.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Aurelia is the right answer, well done, Andy.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31OK, Barry, which monarch granted the town of Leamington Spa
0:15:31 > 0:15:34the right to place the word "Royal" before its name?
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Goodness me, that's an interesting one.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I don't think it was as early as William IV,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44who was on the throne prior to Victoria.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48And George V, I think not, so I shall go for Victoria.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Victoria is the right answer.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52OK, one point each, back to you, Andy.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55What name, after an area in Rhode Island
0:15:55 > 0:15:59was given to the US equivalent of the British Nissen Hut,
0:15:59 > 0:16:01first used in 1941?
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Oh, dear, again, something I'm pretty sure I haven't heard,
0:16:09 > 0:16:11so this is going to have to be a guess.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14I'll have to go to the default of down the middle
0:16:14 > 0:16:15and go for the Dunslett Hut.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18OK, I'm thinking there's a bit of a military connection
0:16:18 > 0:16:20with this question. I'm going to ask Chris,
0:16:20 > 0:16:22because he loves his hardware. Nissen Hut?
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Nissen Hut is ours and the American equivalent's a Quonset Hut.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Quonset Hut and Quonset Hut is the answer, Andy.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Barry, the 19th-century stage magician John Nevil Maskelyne
0:16:34 > 0:16:38is credited with having invented a coin lock for making money
0:16:38 > 0:16:40from the usage of what?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Goodness, this is one I've not heard of.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I normally associate the name Maskelyne with being
0:16:50 > 0:16:53one of the earlier Astronomer Royals.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Right, on the rather spurious premise
0:16:55 > 0:16:57that Maskelyne was an Astronomer Royal
0:16:57 > 0:17:01and there's a telescope in there, I shall go for seaside telescopes.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- HE LAUGHS - I like the connections in your mind.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I love the way they work.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09The neurons are misfiring, though, it's public toilets.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12So you are equal after two questions. Andy, your third.
0:17:12 > 0:17:18The so-called Battle of the Herrings took place in which country in 1429?
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Oh, dear. Another display of ignorance, I fear!
0:17:24 > 0:17:29There was a lot of strife in all three countries at the time.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Herrings, I know, are popular more in northern Europe, perhaps,
0:17:33 > 0:17:35so should I edge towards France?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39I think I will. France, Jeremy, please.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Good logic. France is the right answer.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42The right answer.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45OK, Barry, your question.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48If you get this wrong you're not in the final round.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50The incident known as Pickett's Charge was a pivotal moment
0:17:50 > 0:17:52during which war?
0:17:58 > 0:17:59This was a famous incident
0:17:59 > 0:18:03that General Robert E Lee bitterly regretted afterwards.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I think it was a charge by Pickett's Division which had
0:18:06 > 0:18:08some 4,000 men straight up the hill
0:18:08 > 0:18:11in the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14So my answer is the American Civil War.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16American Civil War is the right answer. Well done.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19A good bit of background there, as well. So two each.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21We go to Sudden Death, Andy, OK?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Here's your first question.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27The married women Freda Dudley Ward and Thelma Furness
0:18:27 > 0:18:31had relationships with the man who became which British King?
0:18:31 > 0:18:35It would be disloyal, perhaps, to the Crown to suggest that many
0:18:35 > 0:18:39future kings had many liaisons of that type,
0:18:39 > 0:18:43but I will say George IV.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Edward VIII. Edward VIII is the answer.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Barry, for the round, the Anglo-Saxon King
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Edward the Elder was the son of which other monarch?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I believe Edward the Elder was the son of the King of Wessex,
0:18:58 > 0:18:59who would have been Alfred the Great.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Very good on your kings and queens, I must say.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Alfred the Great is the right answer, Barry. Well done.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06On Sudden Death you've taken it.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09It's a hard-fought contest, Andy, but you've lost another player.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Your good self. Come back to us, please and rejoin your team-mates.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18So, as it stands, the challengers have lost three brains
0:19:18 > 0:19:21and the Eggheads have lost no brains from the final round
0:19:21 > 0:19:25and the last subject is Film & Television, so who would like this?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Who wants this?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- Are you going to go for that, John? - Yeah.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- Yeah, OK?- John?- John's going to take that.- I will, yep.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33OK. Against which Egghead, John?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I would say maybe...
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- Chris?- I think perhaps Chris.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40We're hoping that Chris limits his watching to Wallace and Gromit
0:19:40 > 0:19:42and doesn't look at much else!
0:19:42 > 0:19:44So, it is John from Eggstra Curricular
0:19:44 > 0:19:47versus Chris from the Eggheads, and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49please go to the Question Room.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Good luck in this round. Three questions, multiple choice.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56John, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Erm, I think I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Here we go. Good luck. Who first joined the cast of EastEnders
0:20:05 > 0:20:08in 1985, playing Sharon Watts?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Oh, this is a show that I've never watched in my entire life,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18so I have absolutely no idea.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Oh, this is going to be a complete guess. I'm going to say...
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Letitia Dean.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26I'll check with Judith, because Judith loves this programme.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29He's absolutely right. A very good guess.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32She confirms you are completely right! Letitia Dean!
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Well done, John! OK, Chris - who asks
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Terry Jones whether his wife is interested in photography
0:20:37 > 0:20:40in the Monty Python sketch known as Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Your wife, hey? Does she go, hey, hey?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Know what I mean? Nudge, nudge...? It's Eric Idle.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50It is Eric Idle!
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Class! OK, John -
0:20:53 > 0:20:56in the film The Terminal, Viktor Navorski, played by Tom Hanks,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58is trapped at which airport?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05I haven't seen this film, either. Can't see any clues in the question,
0:21:05 > 0:21:08so it's going to be a guess. I'm going to guess, erm,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- O'Hare.- It's actually JFK.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14John F Kennedy. OK. Sorry, John.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15JFK.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Chris, to take the lead - who played the role
0:21:18 > 0:21:21of the British school teacher Anna Leonowens
0:21:21 > 0:21:24in the 1999 Hollywood film Anna And The King?
0:21:29 > 0:21:30That was Jodie Foster.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32You've taken the lead. It was Jodie Foster.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- What's the film about, Chris? - Well, it's exactly the same plot
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- as The King And I, but without the musical.- OK.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42John, you need to get this one right or you will be knocked out.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Who won an Oscar for Best Actor for his performance
0:21:45 > 0:21:51in the title role in the 1936 film The Story Of Louis Pasteur?
0:21:55 > 0:21:59I think that was Paul Muni.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Wow! Where did you get that from?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- I don't know, somewhere at the back of my mind.- Completely right!
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- Thank you.- Well done.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09I love that! I thought that would stump you, and, bang, you're there!
0:22:09 > 0:22:14Chris - the 1960 release The Thousand Eyes Of Dr Mabuse
0:22:14 > 0:22:18was the final work directed by which Viennese-born film-maker?
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Well, I think Fritz Lang was German rather than Austrian.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Don't think it was Josef von Sternberg.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33But about that time would have been the last film of Eric von Stroheim.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35So, that's who I'll go with - Eric von Stroheim.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- No, it's Fritz Lang.- Is it indeed? - Yes, it is.- Ah, right.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Back to you - we're on Sudden Death now, John, it gets a bit harder.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44I don't give you alternatives.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47What is the title of the only Lord Of The Rings film
0:22:47 > 0:22:51that won an Academy award for Best Picture?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55I haven't seen any of those, so, the only one that I know of...
0:22:55 > 0:22:58is...The Goblet Of Fire.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01It's... Hang on, is Goblet Of Fire...?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- That's Harry Potter. - It's Harry Potter, that one, yeah.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- It's not that, it's Return Of The King.- Right.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Return Of The King.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Very tricky if you haven't seen them. Chris - Deep Throat,
0:23:11 > 0:23:13The Jersey Devil and Ghost In The Machine
0:23:13 > 0:23:20were episodes in which US TV series, first broadcast in the US in 1993?
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- That was The X-Files. - The X-Files is the right answer.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26On Sudden Death, you've taken it, Eggheads. Chris is in the final.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Sorry, John. You've been knocked out.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Is this a crisis for the challengers? We will see.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34We're going to play the final round next.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40It's the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:42 > 0:23:45won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47So, Andy, John, Terry and Al
0:23:47 > 0:23:51from Eggstra Curricular - would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Well, I know that wasn't quite the plan, Denise...- No, it wasn't.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59You're playing to win Eggstra Curricular £19,000.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Daphne, Chris, Barry, Pat and Judith -
0:24:02 > 0:24:05you're playing for something that money can't really buy, can it?
0:24:05 > 0:24:06The Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12This time the questions are all general knowledge.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15You are allowed to confer. So, Denise, the question is,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18can your one brain beat the Eggheads' five?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20And would you like to go first or second?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Go first - continue the theme!
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Here we go. Good luck. Glass's Guide,
0:24:29 > 0:24:34first published by the Scottish engineer William Glass in the 1930s,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36is used in which industry?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I've never heard of it...
0:24:41 > 0:24:451930s sounds a bit early for aviation.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47It could be at the beginning stage.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Motor trade, I...
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I have a feeling it's shipping, simply because you said
0:24:54 > 0:24:57he's a Scottish engineer, and you tend to think of
0:24:57 > 0:24:59shipping and...and Scotland somehow.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- I'm going to go down the middle for shipping.- OK.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Still used now, funnily enough,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07and it was mentioned to me last time I sold my car.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09It shows you, if you've got a seven-year-old Audi
0:25:09 > 0:25:13- that's in roughly what condition, how much it's worth.- Roughly, yeah.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Kind of agreed second-hand prices.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Sorry, the answer is motor trades. - OK.- Eggheads,
0:25:18 > 0:25:22the song Clare was a UK number one hit in 1972
0:25:22 > 0:25:24for which singer-songwriter?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- Gilbert O'Sullivan. - Gilbert O'Sullivan, definitely.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Yes!
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Gilbert O'Sullivan!
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Gilbert O'Sullivan is right!
0:25:36 > 0:25:39OK, so they're ahead, which is not good, but they can
0:25:39 > 0:25:43falter more easily than you might think. Here's your question.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47The Oscar-nominated film Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close
0:25:47 > 0:25:50is based on a book by which American writer?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59I just love it when you get questions
0:25:59 > 0:26:01when you haven't heard of any of them!
0:26:02 > 0:26:05So much so, you can't really say anything about any of them.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07All I can do in this is to say...
0:26:08 > 0:26:10..keep with the trend, straight down the middle.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Kathryn Stockett is your answer. - Yes.- OK.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15The name is Jonathan Safran Foer.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18OK, Eggheads, so...
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Denise has got two wrong. If you get this right, the contest is over.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25What name is given to the large committee room
0:26:25 > 0:26:27in the Palace of Westminster, used by peers
0:26:27 > 0:26:31as a secondary debating chamber?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- It's the Jericho Room.- Jericho Room?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39That is what...
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- That's what came to mind. - Yes, I thought Jericho, yes.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Yes, that's what came to mind. It's not Goliath,
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- and I've never heard of Moses.- No. - Jericho Room does ring vague bells.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- Yes.- Yes, good.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53I'm happy with that.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Well, we don't know,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58but Jericho Room sounds a bit familiar,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01so, that's our answer.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04I worked a lot in the Houses of Parliament. I hadn't heard of this.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- Moses Room.- Oh, is it?- Moses Room. So, they can get questions wrong,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10even when there's all five of them.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12OK? So, that encourages us,
0:27:12 > 0:27:15but you've got to get this one right, Denise.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19In the 1960s, the fashion designer Sergio Tacchini
0:27:19 > 0:27:23was one of Italy's top participants in which sport?
0:27:27 > 0:27:31I suppose golf would be quite logical. It's all...
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Tennis...
0:27:34 > 0:27:36I just love it when you've never heard of these people.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40I cannot say anything useful apart from just going, on a guess...
0:27:40 > 0:27:42And there's something vague
0:27:42 > 0:27:44that the Italians will do things with skiing.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47So, I'm going to go for skiing.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51On the law of probabilities, you should have got one right here,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53by guessing three times.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55But that law is very unfair.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Actually, this was the time to go down the middle.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00It's tennis.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02- Sorry, Denise.- It's quite all right.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03So, we have to say, I'm afraid,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05congratulations, Eggheads, you have won!
0:28:11 > 0:28:14And you have to really have some mettle to stand alone against them,
0:28:14 > 0:28:18- so well done.- That's quite all right. Well done, chaps.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Commiserations to the challengers. The Eggheads have done
0:28:22 > 0:28:25what comes naturally to them, and their winning streak continues.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28It means you won't be going home with the £19,000,
0:28:28 > 0:28:29so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Eggheads, this is looking really quite impressive now.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35I wonder who's EVER going to beat you?!
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:37 > 0:28:40have the brains to defeat our Eggheads here.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43And we're up to £20,000 now saying they don't.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44Till then, goodbye.
