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 > 0:00:36Taking on our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:36 > 0:00:39are the EEG Heads. This medically-minded team
0:00:39 > 0:00:46are regular quizzers at the Oran Mor pub in the West End of Glasgow. Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Charlotte, I'm 25 and I'm a clinical physiologist.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Ify, I'm 28 and a doctor.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Christopher, I'm 23 and I'm a clinical physiologist.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Mark, I'm 27 and a doctor.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Jamie, I'm 27 and I'm a clinical physiologist.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07- So, Charlotte and team, welcome. - Thank you.- Good to see you.
0:01:07 > 0:01:13- EEG is the machine you strap to your head.- Yeah, uh-huh. It's electrodes we put on patients' heads
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- to measure electrical activity in the brain.- What does EEG stand for?
0:01:17 > 0:01:23- Electroencephalogram. - So you can actually see the brain power, can you?
0:01:23 > 0:01:29Yeah, we can see the different brain waves going along and if a person is in a different state,
0:01:29 > 0:01:33whether they're awake or drowsy or asleep, the brain changes.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38- So if somebody collapses here, you could zap them.- We could.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42And if you were to put all of the Eggheads onto an EEG simultaneously,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- would Britain explode? - Probably, yeah!
0:01:45 > 0:01:50Could you tell how much they know just by looking with your suction pads?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54We could try. We could tell there's a brain there!
0:01:54 > 0:02:00I have wondered that sometimes. Well, good luck. You've got the best team name, I must say.
0:02:00 > 0:02:06Every day there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers, but if they fail to win
0:02:06 > 0:02:11it rolls over to the next show. So, EEG Heads, the Eggheads are on quite a streak.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14They've won the last 25,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18so £26,000 is yours if you can beat them. OK?
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- Use any medical equipment you want. Do you want to start?- Yes.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26The first Head to Head is Food and Drink.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Who would like this?
0:02:28 > 0:02:33- I'll take that. I'll take this. - OK, Charlotte, which Egghead? No Kevin today.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- Pat or Chris. - I'll take on Pat.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43Pat and Chris - the two who look like they've eaten the least(!)
0:02:43 > 0:02:49OK, Charlotte versus Pat. To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55I'll ask each of you three questions on Food and Drink in turn.
0:02:55 > 0:03:02Whoever answers the most correctly goes through to the final. Charlotte, first or second set?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I'll take the first question, please.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Good luck. Buck rabbit is a Welsh rarebit topped with what?
0:03:16 > 0:03:21Hmm, I've never actually heard of that.
0:03:21 > 0:03:27I'm thinking it's more of a savoury topping rather than a sweet one
0:03:27 > 0:03:31because Welsh rarebit tends to be a savoury dish.
0:03:31 > 0:03:38So I'm going to go for poached egg because I don't think carrot would be very substantial for a topping.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I'll go for poached egg.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45Good logic from the EEG team. Poached egg is correct.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Should be poached EEG, shouldn't it?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50OK, Pat, your question.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55What is the common name of the edible fungus fistulina hepatica,
0:03:55 > 0:03:59a mushroom with a meaty texture and a red juice?
0:04:03 > 0:04:08I think I've only heard of one of those. I think I've heard of a beefsteak fungus.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- I'll go for that. - Beefsteak fungus is right.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Charlotte,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18the prickly pear is sometimes known by what other name?
0:04:21 > 0:04:27I've heard of a prickly pear, but I've not heard of an alternative name for it.
0:04:27 > 0:04:34That's the only name I know for it. I'm going to exclude Indian orange because it's a citrus fruit.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41And I think I'll exclude gooseberry as well since it's a berry.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I'm going to go for an Indian fig.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Very good. You're right.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49This round...
0:04:49 > 0:04:54All the questions conjure up an image. Well-written round.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58OK, Pat, your question. What type of foodstuff is a poblano?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03It sounds faintly Hispanic.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07That doesn't really make that much of a difference.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12The chilli pepper is the most Hispanic of those three,
0:05:12 > 0:05:18but they grow loads of olives in Spain I'll have to go for chilli pepper, but it's just a guess.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Do you think he's right, Charlotte? - I'll say no.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26No, he is right. Chilli pepper is correct.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Third question, Charlotte.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33Which chef, known for his public falling out with Gordon Ramsay, was chef at the Savoy Grill
0:05:33 > 0:05:37when it achieved the first Michelin star in its history?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Don't know any of those names.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I'm going to go for Tom Aikens.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53I'm sorry. It's Marcus Wareing. I thought you were going to get it.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55I could sense a great quizzer.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Let's see if Pat gets this.
0:05:57 > 0:06:03What type of dish is cousinette, whose ingredients include sorrel and spinach?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10I haven't heard of this dish. Sounds French.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Cousinette?
0:06:12 > 0:06:19Of those three, I don't know which it is, but I'll go for soup. Sorrel sounds most likely for soup.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24The logic is good, the answer is right. Soup.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Charlotte, he's knocked you out.
0:06:26 > 0:06:33But don't worry, early days. Please, both of you, come back here to the studio.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round, the Eggheads no brains.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41The next subject is Film and TV.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Which of you would like this?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Jamie!- Jamie? OK.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Against which Egghead? Which brain?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Judith, maybe? Judith?
0:06:52 > 0:06:59- I'll go for Judith. - So Jamie from the EEG Heads versus Judith from the EGG-heads.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:07:02 > 0:07:08I'll ask you three questions on Film and TV. If you get the most right, you go through to the final.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Jamie, first or second? - First, please.
0:07:14 > 0:07:20Here we go. Rob McElwee and Helen Willetts found fame on TV as what type of presenters?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Neither of those names ring any bells at all.
0:07:26 > 0:07:32I watch a lot of sport and they're not ringing any bells with sport.
0:07:34 > 0:07:41I think I'll go down the side of cookery. I don't watch a lot of cookery shows. So cookery.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45They'll thank you for this. They're weather.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48First one wrong. Judith,
0:07:48 > 0:07:54who starred as Guy Hubble in the TV series The Royal Bodyguard, first seen in 2011?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I didn't see it.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03I think it's Robert Lindsay.
0:08:04 > 0:08:10- No, it's David Jason, but if you didn't see it... - It could have been anybody.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12OK, Jamie, your question.
0:08:12 > 0:08:18Who received his only acting Oscar nomination for his role in the 1974 film The Towering Inferno?
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Em...
0:08:24 > 0:08:30Quite confident it's not Fred Astaire. He's more of a song and dance man.
0:08:30 > 0:08:36Robert Wagner ended up playing Number 2 in the Austin Powers films later on in his career,
0:08:36 > 0:08:39but I think William Holden was in Towering Inferno.
0:08:39 > 0:08:45This surprised me. It's the one you ruled out first. What was Fred Astaire doing in that film?
0:08:45 > 0:08:51- He was a sort of ageing con man. - An ageing con man?
0:08:51 > 0:08:56- Did he do any dancing at all?- No. - I don't recall any.- Not any?- No.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59So it was Fred Astaire and he didn't do any dancing.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Judith, your question.
0:09:01 > 0:09:07Who provided the voice for Kermit the Frog in the film The Muppets, released in the UK in 2012?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I haven't heard of any of those.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Oh, well. I didn't see it, either.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21And I certainly didn't read the cast list. So...
0:09:21 > 0:09:28My daughter is called Whitmore, so I'm going to guess at Steve Whitmire.
0:09:28 > 0:09:35- And you have the right answer. - No! Good for her.- The Keppel Method, down the right, has worked.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Jamie, you've got to get this.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Jo Warne was the first actress to play which character in EastEnders?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50I'm fairly certain Dot's always been Dot Cotton.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52And...
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Pat Wicks.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Was Pat Wicks originally Pat Butcher's name?
0:09:58 > 0:10:03I know Peggy's been played by someone before Barbara Windsor
0:10:03 > 0:10:07so I'd go Peggy Mitchell, but I'm not an EastEnders fan.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- So your answer is...? - Peggy Mitchell.- It's correct, Jamie.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14OK, so it's one each.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Judith, get this one right and you're through.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Who did the actress Rita Wilson marry in 1988?
0:10:24 > 0:10:251988.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- I think it might have been Michael Douglas.- Good guess.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33It's not. It's Tom Hanks.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38- Uh-huh.- So you're equal on one point. We go to sudden death.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Jamie, well done. It was touch and go, but Judith saved you.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- It gets harder because I don't give you alternatives now.- Yeah.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51Which British comedian wrote the episode of The Simpsons called Homer Simpson, This Is Your Wife?
0:10:51 > 0:10:56I'm confident Ricky Gervais got to write an episode.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01- I'll say Ricky Gervais. - Ricky Gervais is right. Well done.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03You're on the ropes, Judith.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Get this wrong and you're a goner.
0:11:05 > 0:11:11Who starred as Balian in the 2005 Ridley Scott film Kingdom of Heaven?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I've no idea.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Russell Crowe.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22- Not Russell Crowe.- I don't know. - I don't know why I laugh. I would have guessed as well. Orlando Bloom.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25So well done, Jamie!
0:11:25 > 0:11:29How about that? It was touch and go for a while.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Yes!
0:11:31 > 0:11:38You overhauled Judith. Judith, you've been knocked out by Michael Douglas and Orlando Bloom.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Please both rejoin your teams.
0:11:40 > 0:11:46The challengers have lost one brain, but the Eggheads have also lost a brain from the final round.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49The next subject for you is Music.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Which of you would like Music?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- Chris.- Chris?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55OK. Against?
0:11:57 > 0:12:02- Chris, I think. - Chris on Chris.
0:12:02 > 0:12:08- How do you feel? Happy? You look happy.- I do, actually. I don't mind at all.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- As long as it's not modern rubbish and rap.- Fingers crossed.
0:12:12 > 0:12:18- Classical stuff I'm all right with. - OK, Christopher from EEG Heads and Chris from Eggheads.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Please go to the Question Room now.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- So you're still studying? - Yes. Due to finish very shortly.
0:12:25 > 0:12:31- I gather it's very hard work. - It's hard work to juggle working more or less full-time
0:12:31 > 0:12:33and studying a full-time degree.
0:12:33 > 0:12:40It's a chore, but it's kind of rewarding, I suppose, at the end of each semester.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42What do you become at the end?
0:12:42 > 0:12:47- A clinical physiologist. - I should have guessed that!
0:12:47 > 0:12:54There's no answer to that. I'll ask three questions on music. Let's see how much music you listen to.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- First or second?- First, please.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Here we go. Your first question.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Who had a UK number one single in 1985 with 19?
0:13:09 > 0:13:15The only one I've heard of is Adamski. Maybe Glenn Medeiros.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20I'll go with my first instinct. Adamski. The only one I've heard of.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22It's Paul Hardcastle.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25OK, Chris. In March, 2012,
0:13:25 > 0:13:30which 2011 X Factor contestant released a version of Seven Nation Army,
0:13:30 > 0:13:34originally a hit for The White Stripes?
0:13:37 > 0:13:41The only name I recognise there is Stacey Solomon, so I'll go with it.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Stacey Solomon is wrong. It's Marcus Collins.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47OK, Christopher.
0:13:47 > 0:13:53Who wrote the opera Louise, which received its premiere in Paris in 1900?
0:13:58 > 0:14:04Only one I've heard of is Massenet, so I'm going to have to go with that one, I think. Complete guess,
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- but...- OK. Massenet is wrong, though.
0:14:08 > 0:14:14- Anyone know? Eggheads? - Charpentier.- Charpentier.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Charpentier is the answer. Over to the other Christopher.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23Commerce Street, Montgomery, Alabama is the site of a museum
0:14:23 > 0:14:27dedicated to which country star
0:14:27 > 0:14:30who made his professional debut in the city?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Gene Autry was the Singing Cowboy.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I don't think he came from Alabama.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Did Jim Reeves
0:14:41 > 0:14:44or was it Hank Williams?
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Jim Reeves died quite young in a car crash, so there might be,
0:14:48 > 0:14:52given the American ghoulish obsessio with death, a museum to him.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56I think he came from down south somewhere, so I'll say Jim Reeves.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01- No, it's, uh...Hank Williams. - Mm-hm.- Hank Williams.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Christopher, this is...
0:15:03 > 0:15:08I think we can call this not a high-scoring round so far, but it can change.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13What was the title of Paul McCartney's album released in February 2012?
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Well, I really doubt it's Kisses On The Bottom.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26That's a kind of silly title. Same with Bumps On The Bonce.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29But I wouldn't put it past him.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Tickles On The Tum...
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I'm going to go Bumps On The Bonce, down the middle.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40The answer is actually Kisses On The Bottom, not Bumps On The Bonce.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43OK, Chris,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46see if you can give the EEG team a bump on their bonce.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Which country has a national anthem whose first line translates as,
0:15:50 > 0:15:52"Land of mountains, land on the river"?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Austria use the same tune as Deutschland, Deutschland Uber Alles,
0:15:59 > 0:16:01the Emperor's Hymn.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Switzerland is a land of mountains, but it's not on any real rivers.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09But given that Romania is on the Danube and also has mountains
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I'll have to say Romania.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14It's not Romania. Anyone know on the Eggheads?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- Switzerland?- Austria? - Austria is the answer.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22So we go to Sudden Death. It's been a lingering death so far.
0:16:22 > 0:16:28This is an unusual situation. Let's see if somebody can get one right.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Christopher, I won't give you alternatives. It gets a bit harder.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37Mr Mojo Risin' was the nickname of which US singer born in 1943?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Pass.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Eggheads?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- No.- Nothing from the Eggheads?
0:16:45 > 0:16:50- Chris? Anyone know?- Is it Jim Morrison?- Yes. Well done, Jamie.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51It's actually... Do you know why?
0:16:51 > 0:16:56I know a lot of The Doors songs. It's a line that repeats over and over again in a song.
0:16:56 > 0:17:03It repeats over and over again in LA Woman because it's an anagram of his name. Mr Mojo Risin' - Jim Morrison.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05OK, Chris, your question.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Get this right, you're in the final. Who wrote the musical Bitter Sweet?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Noel Coward. - Noel Coward is the right answer.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17Christopher, you've been knocked out. A long and bitter battle.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Chris is in the final. Both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25So, as it stands, the challengers have now lost another brain, two brains in total.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29The Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31The last subject is History.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Which of you would like History?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36We're thinking Mark. He's been swotting up a wee bit.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- Mark?- Lambs to the slaughter. - Don't get up just yet.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45- Against which Egghead? - I like the way Daphne's smiling at me, so I'll go for Daphne.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47It's a very frightening smile.
0:17:47 > 0:17:53OK, Mark from the EEG Heads and Daphne from the Eggheads, please go to the question room now.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58Good luck in this round. I'm going to ask each of you three questions on History in turn.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- Mark, would you like the first or second set?- First, please, Jeremy.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10Here we go. Good luck. In a medieval monastery, what was the name of the room set aside for writing?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Well, looking at the three answers,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20dormitory looks like somewhere you go to sleep,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23scriptorium from "script" meaning "to write",
0:18:23 > 0:18:28and refectory looks like somewhere you reflect upon yourself or pray.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I'm going to go for scriptorium, please.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Exactly right. Scriptorium is correct.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41Daphne, what was the real first name of Wat Tyler, the leader of the Peasants' Revolt?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Gosh!
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Out of those... I don't really know.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51But I would guess Walter.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Walter is right.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Mark, who was the father of the Roman Emperor Caligula?
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Well, it definitely ends in "us",
0:19:06 > 0:19:08so, Britannicus...
0:19:09 > 0:19:11The Emperor Caligula?
0:19:11 > 0:19:16I'm not 100%, but for some reason in my head, Germanicus rings a bell.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20But I'm going to go Britannicus.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24The bell should have been louder!
0:19:24 > 0:19:27It was Germanicus.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29How tantalising is that!
0:19:29 > 0:19:35I could hear the Eggheads here just mumbling about Germanicus, which is why we knew you'd gone astray.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40OK, Daphne, what was the name of the promise made by Germany in 1916
0:19:40 > 0:19:45that they would give adequate warning before attacking merchant and passenger ships?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Oh... I've never heard of it.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00Since I come from Kent, Kent Agreement.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- Is wrong.- Sussex Pledge? - Chris will know this.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05I think it's the Sussex Pledge.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09There'd been a great outcry after they sank a ship called The Sussex.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13I think a lot of auxiliary nurses or something were drowned.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I think they made the Sussex Pledge,
0:20:15 > 0:20:19so there'd be no re-run of the sinking of The Sussex.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24Interesting. Sussex Pledge is right. Daphne, you got it wrong.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Even Stevens. Mark, over to you.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30What language was used by the Aztecs?
0:20:36 > 0:20:40I'm not sure if any of these are a language I'm familiar with
0:20:40 > 0:20:43or if two of them are fictitious and one of them is real.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46My two previous answers have been down the right,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49so I'll go for in the m... on the left, Tulu.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- You were going to go in the middle? - I was.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Barry will know because he's been an Aztec emperor.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00You've been to the area of the whole excitement, haven't you?
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Yes, I've been to Mexico. - Sorry. Go on.- It's Nahuatl.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06And we all know at least one word of Nahuatl
0:21:06 > 0:21:10because the Nahuatl word is "avocado".
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Right. It's funny to have a language with a name you can't pronounce.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Nahuatl is the answer, Mark.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Daphne, if you get this one right, you're in the final round.
0:21:20 > 0:21:26Which French king was captured by the Black Prince at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36It was John II.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40John II is right, Daphne. Well done. You're in the final round.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Mark, I don't know what to say.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47You were so close and pulled yourself away from those right answers.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Both of you, come back here and rejoin your teams.
0:21:50 > 0:21:56So this is what we have been playing towards, the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads can't take part,
0:22:01 > 0:22:05so, Charlotte, Christopher and Mark from the EEG Heads
0:22:05 > 0:22:08and Judith from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15Ify and Jamie, you're playing to win the EEG Heads £26,000.
0:22:15 > 0:22:21Pat, Barry, Chris and Daphne, you're playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25I will ask each team three questions in turn. They are all General Knowledge.
0:22:25 > 0:22:32You are allowed to confer. So, Ify and Jamie, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- Would you like to go first or second?- First.- First.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Good luck, guys. £26,000, you can do it.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Ipanema is a region of which city?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55I think there was a song called The Girl From Ipanema.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- Kind of samba-ish, I think? - I've no idea.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01I think I would say Brazilian, so Rio?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Yeah, Jeremy, I think I'll go Rio de Janeiro.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Spot-on, Ify. Rio de Janeiro, it was.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11And the logic was impeccable. All right, they have a point.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16Eggheads, which hospital now associated with spinal injuries was founded in response
0:23:16 > 0:23:18to a cholera epidemic in the 1830s?
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- That must be Stoke Mandeville. - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I think this is the wonderful place, Stoke Mandeville.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30It is a wonderful place. Stoke Mandeville is right.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Back to you, EEG Heads.
0:23:34 > 0:23:41From 2002 to 2004, Roberto Mancini managed which Italian football club?
0:23:45 > 0:23:49I think I've seen him in the same colours as Man City.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- I think Lazio probably...- Yeah.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57We have images in our head of him
0:23:57 > 0:24:00in the same colour and pattern he wears at Man City
0:24:00 > 0:24:05which would be light blue, white and yellow which are Lazio's colours
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- We'll go with Lazio. - Lazio is the right answer.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Well done. Two out of two.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12OK, Eggheads,
0:24:12 > 0:24:17in 1975, Papua New Guinea achieved independence from which country?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- Australia?- Yeah.- We're all agreed on this one as well.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26We believe it was Australia.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Australia is correct.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Oh, this is a tight game.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34The third question can often be crucial.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39A Metonic cycle is a period of how many years?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Metonic.- Metonic.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- Something's telling me it would be 11.- 11 would be my instinct as well.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I don't really know why that would be.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57- It's a strange cycle to be going in odd numbers.- Go with our gut?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59If anything, 11 would be my gut, yeah.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04We're going to go with gut instinct on this one. We're not too sure. 11.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09- Let's see if the Eggheads know. - I think it's 19.- How do we get 19?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12It's the relationship between the sun and the moon
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- that repeats over a 19-year cycle. - The answer is 19.
0:25:15 > 0:25:1911 is wrong. Two out of three...
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Let's see what happens now.
0:25:22 > 0:25:28Eggheads, if you get this one right, your streak will continue. I won't call it a lucky streak any more.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Who wrote the 2012 novel, Waiting For Sunrise?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- I have no idea on this one. - I haven't.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Ishiguro was Remains Of The Day, but I've not heard of anything by him.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48I've heard of him doing something recently. That's extremely vague.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53He briefly appeared in the press. Maybe he wrote a book. I don't know.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- Maybe. I've not heard of anything recent by Sebastian Faulks.- No.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- William Boyd is quite a busy lad. - Yeah.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Pat's usually right. - It's extremely vague.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08He was mentioned in the papers having not written for a long time.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- Your vague inklings are very helpful.- It could be wrong.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14I'm happy to go for that. Shall we go with that?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17It's Sudden Death if it's wrong.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21As you've gathered, on this, we haven't really any idea at all,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24but on the vaguest of vague inklings, we'll go for Ishiguro.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Your answer is Kazuo Ishiguro.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32- I wonder if you challengers know? - I was going to go Ishiguro as well.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- Remains Of The Day and what was the cloning one?- Never Let Me Go.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38That's right. He didn't write this.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- Oh, it's William Boyd.- William Boyd.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- Sorry.- Let's see what happens now. We go to Sudden Death.
0:26:45 > 0:26:51I don't give you alternatives. It's a bit harder. £26,000 we're playing for. The Eggheads have tripped up.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56The Stone of Scone, also known as the Stone of Destiny,
0:26:56 > 0:27:01was moved in 1996 from Westminster Abbey to which castle?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Is it Stirling?
0:27:04 > 0:27:071996, it could be to do with Scottish independence.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10It could be Holyrood or...
0:27:10 > 0:27:14No, Holyrood looks really modern. I don't think it would fit in.
0:27:15 > 0:27:21I would say if it was taken from Scone Palace, I would say it would be moved back?
0:27:21 > 0:27:28- Shall we go with that then?- Yeah. - I think just because of the name, we're going to go for Scone Palace.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- The answer is Edinburgh.- Oh!
0:27:31 > 0:27:34OK, Eggheads, you have a second chance to take the contest.
0:27:34 > 0:27:41The substance camphor consists of carbon, hydrogen and which other element?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Naphthalene?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- That's not an element.- Is it oxygen?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49It's a hydrocarbon
0:27:49 > 0:27:53and yeah, they tend to form bonds with oxygen at the simplest levels.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- It's a fairly simple structure. - Go for oxygen.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00We're not 100% certain on this, but we're going to go for oxygen.
0:28:00 > 0:28:05- What's camphor used for? - Insect repellent and moth repellent.
0:28:05 > 0:28:11The formula for camphor is C10H16O.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14The correct answer is oxygen. Well done, Eggheads.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Congratulations, you have won.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Bad luck, challengers. You played a good game.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. Your winning streak continues.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34You won't be going home with the £26,000, so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Eggheads, many congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:38 > 0:28:43Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46£27,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
