0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:34 > 0:00:36are the Royal Harmonics.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40This team are all members of the same a cappella group, based in Windsor.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Let's meet them.
0:00:41 > 0:00:46Hello, I'm Peter, I'm 69, and a retired security consultant.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Ewen. I'm 43, and I'm a payroll manager.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Tony, I'm 66, and I'm a chartered surveyor.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Ed, I'm 67. I help run a B&B, and I do man and van.
0:00:59 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Windsor, I'm 65, I'm a self-employed sales agent in the wool and haberdashery industry.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Welcome to you, Royal Harmonics. How long have you all been together?
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Variously, we've joined the club at various times.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14And one or two of the members are founder members.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- And the club is actually about ten years old.- I see.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Do you sing in competitions? Do you sing for fun, how does it work?
0:01:21 > 0:01:25We do all of that. Competitions, fun, charity work,
0:01:25 > 0:01:31and paid employment, hopefully, at things like corporate dos, entertainment.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35I don't know how limbered up the vocal chords are. I know the brains are, for this Eggheads game.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37You couldn't give us a tune, could you?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Well, we could try, yes.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Take it away.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42THEY SING
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- # Hello.- Hello.- Hello.
0:01:44 > 0:01:50# Well, hello...
0:01:50 > 0:01:54# We are the Royal Harmonics! #
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Well done! Thank you very much indeed. Lovely stuff.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01We'll get the Eggheads to introduce themselves like that on shows!
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Let me tell you what's been going on so far before your arrival on Eggheads.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challenges, as you know.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18So, Royal Harmonics, the Eggheads have won the last 22 games.
0:02:18 > 0:02:24- That means £23,000...- My goodness! - ..says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Let's see what comes up first. It's Politics for the first head-to-head.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Who'd like to play this? And which Egghead would you like to take on?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Politics. Who's going for Politics?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Tony, do you want to go for that?
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Yeah, all right. OK.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Tony's got the short straw. - All right, Tony.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42And which Egghead would you like to have as well?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- CJ, please.- OK, let's have Tony and CJ into the Question Room, please.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Good luck with this, Tony. Do you want to go first or second?
0:02:56 > 0:02:57I think I'll go first, please.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01OK, Tony, first question for you.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03The political movement in Thailand,
0:03:03 > 0:03:07officially called the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10is known for wearing which items of clothing?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Oh, heavens. I don't think I know this. Um.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I don't think it's brown stockings.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Black hats seems a bit unlikely, too. I think I'll go for red shirts.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Red shirts on likelihood.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30A few years back, caused major disruption and confrontation
0:03:30 > 0:03:32in Bangkok. The right answer.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33THEY CHEER
0:03:33 > 0:03:36We got one right!
0:03:36 > 0:03:39And CJ, prior to becoming Speaker of the Commons,
0:03:39 > 0:03:43John Bercow had been elected as an MP for which party?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51I think this was one of the things that confused me when it happened.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Because his wife Sally is very left wing,
0:03:55 > 0:03:58but officially I think he was a Conservative.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Yes, Conservative MP but, funnily enough, in terms of his election,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04it was Labour votes which got him in because he had become unpopular
0:04:04 > 0:04:07with the Conservative Party and they opposed it.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10All very complicated, but you're right, Conservative MP originally.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13So, one each, all square.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Tony, what is the name of the cat introduced to 10 Downing Street
0:04:17 > 0:04:21in February 2011, following a problem with vermin?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I can't remember. There was a cat called Humphrey, but it's not there.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Larry, Curly or Moe. Cat..?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33HE MUMBLES
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- It's just a complete guess, I'll go for Larry.- Larry, OK.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42We've got the Three Stooges there, in the possible answers?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Larry's right one of those Stooges, Larry the cat.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46THEY CHEER
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Tony referring to Humphrey. A string of famous Downing Street cats.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I like that, the question, "Following a problem with vermin."
0:04:53 > 0:04:55I did wonder about that, yes.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57In a political question there.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01OK, CJ. The Tunisian revolution of 2010 and 2011
0:05:01 > 0:05:06has been commonly named by the Western media after which flower?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Ah.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Not hibiscus.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Jasmine Revolution is the one that's really jumping out at me,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21because that sounds right.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Erm, so I'll go for jasmine.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29And the answer is jasmine, yes. It's the right choice there.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30OK, it's 2-2.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Tony, the father of the Chancellor George Osborne, became well known
0:05:34 > 0:05:37for having a company that is engaged in which business?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Oh dear, once again, I don't know. Erm...
0:05:47 > 0:05:52I don't recall anything about wallpaper or magazine publishing.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57- So I'm going to go for stockbroking. - Stockbroking, well, yeah.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59It's not the right answer, though.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Eggheads, do you know?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Wallpaper.- Posh wallpaper?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- That's why George is so good at papering over the cracks!- Oh!
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Yes, you're here all week, Barry!
0:06:09 > 0:06:12OK, yes. As Judith says, wallpaper makers.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17So, CJ, the Communist guerrilla leader, Chin Peng,
0:06:17 > 0:06:21carried out a long insurgency campaign in which country?
0:06:23 > 0:06:26I haven't heard of him.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Erm...
0:06:28 > 0:06:34More than either of the other two, to me, it sounds more Vietnamese.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Erm...
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Blind guess, I'll try Vietnam. - Vietnam?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43It was blind and wrong, it's Malaysia.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Let off for Tony. We go straight to Sudden Death.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47That means, I know you know this,
0:06:47 > 0:06:49but just to remind everyone, make it clear.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52We remove all the choices, so the answer just has to come from you.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Which SDP candidate made political history
0:06:56 > 0:07:00by winning the Crosby by-election in 1981?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I can't remember any of the four.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08It's maddening. Ahh...
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Shirley Williams?
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Is the right answer!
0:07:23 > 0:07:24THEY CHEER
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Yes, one of the "Gang of Four", Shirley Williams,
0:07:27 > 0:07:31later became Baroness Williams of Crosby,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33the first SDP candidate to be elected.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36That's why it was such a seismic move.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38And your question, CJ, to stay in it this time.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Which Liberal is the only person to hold the titles of
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Father of the House and Prime Minister simultaneously?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48HE SIGHS HEAVILY
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- I don't know, I'll guess at David Lloyd George?- David Lloyd George?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59It is double barrelled, but it ain't Lloyd George.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Campbell-Bannerman?- It is Campbell-Bannerman, Judith.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the Father of the House,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08which of course is the longest serving member of House,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10and Prime Minister simultaneously.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13We'll stop discussing him and discuss Tony's performance.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Pulling Shelly Williams out of somewhere!
0:08:16 > 0:08:19And booking a place in the final round.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25A great start for the Royal Harmonics.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28All of them still there after the opening exchanges,
0:08:28 > 0:08:30one Egghead gone.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33And our next round today is on the subject of Music.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Well, I know you're all qualified to play this.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38But remember, it's a very broad category.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40A lot of contemporary stuff.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Ed is dying to go for Music.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Ed will volunteer, yes. Music.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46He's the least musical of us!
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- It's going to be Ed. - And Judith?- Judith?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Judith's quite good at Music. - Is she good at Music?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Yes. She's good at everything. - Is she? I'll still take her on.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58OK then. OK. I think it's Judith.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00All right, it's going to be Ed and Judith then
0:09:00 > 0:09:03contesting the Music category.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Would you both please go to the Question Room?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Ed, do you want to go first or second?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14All right, here you go, Ed.
0:09:14 > 0:09:20Where is the Brit School at which Katie Melua, Leona Lewis and Adele were all students?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Oh dear. I'm hoping it's London.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I'm hoping it's not Solihull or Bootle.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31So I'm going for Croydon.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33It is Croydon. Well worked out, Ed.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Judith, your first question.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39The band Beady Eye were formed in 2009
0:09:39 > 0:09:41by former members of which group?
0:09:43 > 0:09:48I really don't know, but I think Coldplay still exists.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Maybe it's Oasis. I don't think they exist.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Oasis?
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Yes, that's the correct answer.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Well worked out, Judith. Ed.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03The composer Emmanuel Chabrier lived and worked in which century?
0:10:06 > 0:10:10I don't know, I don't even know what he composed.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12So, when in doubt, go for the middle one.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I have to say the 17th, as a guess.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17OK. It's not the right answer, though.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- Judith, any idea?- 19th? - 19th is correct.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22But nothing there for Ed.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24A chance for Judith to take the lead.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29In which role did the 20th century classical musician Otto Klemperer
0:10:29 > 0:10:31establish his reputation?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Well, he definitely wasn't an opera tenor.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Um, I think he was a conductor.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43He was, that is correct.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Alarm bells for Ed then, you've got to get this.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Which American R&B singer had success in 1960
0:10:50 > 0:10:53with two duets with Dinah Washington,
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Baby, You Got What It Takes, and A Rockin' Good Way?
0:11:03 > 0:11:07I liked that duet, and then it came out later. It was Brook Benton.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Yes, very good. Brook Benton then.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Judith, a chance still to take the round.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Morrissey chose a song by which band
0:11:14 > 0:11:20as his favourite piece of music when he appeared on the radio programme, Desert Island Discs?
0:11:23 > 0:11:28Um. I didn't hear that Desert Island Discs, I don't think,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I love Desert Island Discs.
0:11:30 > 0:11:36- I think it was Small Faces. - Small Faces, no.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Other Eggheads, down to two there.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42New York Dolls. You're still in it, Ed.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Sat that one out.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47And we're into Sudden Death.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Which singer had her first UK number one single in 1961 with You Don't Know?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Thank goodness. Helen Shapiro.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56It is.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58And, notable for the fact of her youth, do you how old she was?
0:11:58 > 0:12:04She was produced by Norrie Paramor's son, who lives up the road from me.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- And he produced more hit records than George Martin.- Did he?
0:12:07 > 0:12:13That could be an Eggheads question. She was 14, Helen Shapiro.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15OK, you've got to get this, Judith.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20Which group had a UK number one single in August 2010 with All-Time Low?
0:12:20 > 0:12:25Well, this is my all-time low. I have no idea. Brain turned to mush. Pass.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29OK, pass, and out. It is The Wanted.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Which means, Ed, you're in the final round. Another one of you through.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39The Eggheads drawing up plans to man the barricades,
0:12:39 > 0:12:41after the last two head-to-heads.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Two of their brains missing. All the Royal Harmonics there.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Third head-to-head today is Food & Drink.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Who'd like to play this one then? Peter, Ewen or Windsor?
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- I think it'll be myself.- Ewen. Which one of those Eggheads would you like to pick?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Judith and CJ had been knocked out, so you've got Kevin, Barry or Pat.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02They're all pretty good.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- Erm, I think...- What about Pat? What do you think?
0:13:05 > 0:13:06I think Barry, he seems a friendly chap.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08THEY LAUGH
0:13:08 > 0:13:13He is a friendly chap, although very dangerous when quizzing.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Let's have Ewen and Barry into the Question Room, please.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Ewen, let's crack on with the quizzing.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22It's been such heavy pounding in the last two rounds.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Let's see what this one produces. Would you like to go first and second?
0:13:25 > 0:13:29I think I'll go first, we seem to have done all right on that.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Yes, so winning twice is doing all right then?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- THEY LAUGH - It's doing really well.
0:13:37 > 0:13:43This is your first question, Ewen, good luck. What is the main process used to produce Parma ham?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I'm certainly sure they don't pickle it in vinegar.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I believe it's air dried.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55It is, it's the right answer, air drying.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00Barry, what's the main ingredient of the traditional drink called posset?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05I don't think it's iced tea or rose water,
0:14:05 > 0:14:06I think it's a milk-based drink.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Milk-based. Yes, that's the correct answer.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11OK, we've got your next question here.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Ewen, what type of fruit is a mirabelle?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I've come across this recently.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I don't think it's a banana.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25I'm fairly sure it's not a kiwi, I think it's a plum.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27It is! Well done, Ewen.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Barry,
0:14:29 > 0:14:31in South African cuisine, bunny chow
0:14:31 > 0:14:35consists of a hollowed out loaf of bread traditionally filled with what?
0:14:39 > 0:14:43I can't imagine you'd put deep-fried oysters
0:14:43 > 0:14:45in a hollowed out loaf of bread.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47You might conceivably put curry in.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50But melted cheese seems to be a much more sensible suggestion,
0:14:50 > 0:14:51so I'll go for that.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Melted cheese in the middle of a loaf of bread. It's curry!
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Oh! Sounds nice, doesn't it?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00That's fantastic news potentially, Ewen.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Correct answer here, and you book a place in the final round.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07The cheese called raclette is traditionally made from the milk of which animals?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I did have some of this recently.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15HE LAUGHS
0:15:15 > 0:15:17And there, the hope stops!
0:15:17 > 0:15:20You didn't enquire as to what milk it was made from?
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Hm, sadly not. I'm fairly sure it wasn't goats.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28There is a fairly permeable flavour to goats' cheese.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Erm. I think it was sheep.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36OK, going for sheep, for a place in the final round.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39No, it's not yet. It's cows.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Cows, for raclette.
0:15:41 > 0:15:48Barry, the French wine appellation called Gigondas is in the region of which major river?
0:15:51 > 0:15:56- Could you spell that, please? - Yes. G-I-G-O-N-D-A-S.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Gigondas.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Doesn't really help me, I'm afraid.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04Gigondas.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Or, "Gig-on-dass", if you're going down the offie your way!
0:16:07 > 0:16:09HE LAUGHS
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Loire, Garonne or Rhone.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16I honestly don't know. It will be a guess.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Er...
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I think I'll take the least likely of those three,
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- I'll go for the Garonne.- Garonne?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Garonne. And "gerroff"!
0:16:24 > 0:16:26You're out!
0:16:26 > 0:16:27That's three of us out!
0:16:27 > 0:16:29It is the Rhone.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Gigondas from the Rhone.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Which means it didn't matter about that slip-up on the third question there.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Ewen, you are through to the final round as well.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44They sing in harmony, they quiz in harmony!
0:16:44 > 0:16:48They have knocked three Eggheads out of the final round.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53As we approach our last head-to-head, this is Arts & Books.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55You've got Peter or Windsor available.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57You're not going to pull rank, are you?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00THEY LAUGH
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Are you sending him, or am I going?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- What if I refused to go? - Oh, mutiny!
0:17:04 > 0:17:07THEY LAUGH
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- We've just been talking about the harmony amongst the team. - Forget that!
0:17:10 > 0:17:11HE LAUGHS
0:17:11 > 0:17:14It's going to be Windsor. Only because...
0:17:14 > 0:17:16You've been told. Stay with us, Windsor,
0:17:16 > 0:17:21and choose from the pushovers, Pat or Kevin?
0:17:21 > 0:17:22I don't know.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- Pat.- Pat?- Pat?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Pat, it's going to be then.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Let's have Windsor and Pat in the Question Room.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Windsor, do you want to go first or second?- I'll go second this time.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35I'll change the habit. Because I read a book once!
0:17:35 > 0:17:38HE LAUGHS
0:17:40 > 0:17:45Pat's just finished a book. It's when you lost your red crayon, didn't you?
0:17:45 > 0:17:46To finish colouring it in.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51Pat, the 2005 book, Wall and Peace,
0:17:51 > 0:17:57Wall and Peace, contains a compilation of works by which modern artist?
0:18:00 > 0:18:04They're all high-profile current successful artists.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09Banksy's heavily linked with wall paintings, graffiti,
0:18:09 > 0:18:10that sort of thing.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I don't think I've any reason to go anywhere else,
0:18:13 > 0:18:14so I'll say Banksy.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19Yeah, you're right, Banksy, with Wall and Peace.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23And your first question then, Windsor.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26The 20 metre high sculpture of a female head called Dream,
0:18:26 > 0:18:30is located beside which UK motorway?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37I think that is the fairly new one.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I have a feeling it's the M25.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42OK, the M25, for Dream.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44You've been dreaming if you've seen it there,
0:18:44 > 0:18:50- because it's on the M62.- Is it?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Pat, the chance for a big lead.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Which French artist did John Constable acclaim
0:18:56 > 0:18:59as the most perfect landscape painter the world ever saw?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Of those three,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09I think it's Claude Lorrain.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12I think Hockney has recently done a painting
0:19:12 > 0:19:14inspired by a key Lorrain landscape.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18It's all distant vistas and lovely trees.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I think I'll go for Claude Lorrain.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Claude Lorrain is correct, Pat.
0:19:23 > 0:19:242-0. Well, Windsor,
0:19:24 > 0:19:28if you want to be avoid being "clawed" by the Eggheads,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30you've got me a correct answer here.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35The novelist Jonathan Franzen was born in 1959 in which country?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41This is going to be a guess.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I have a feeling. It sounds,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47silly as I was the last time,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I've got a feeling it's probably South Africa.
0:19:49 > 0:19:55- This is not South Africa, no, it is the United States of America.- Is it?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58USA. Which means we close the round down right now.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Pat is through to the final round.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04You haven't made it four out of four, but three out of four ain't bad.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07You're not playing in the final round, Windsor.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15It's time for the final round,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:19 > 0:20:21won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24So, Windsor from the Royal Harmonics,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27and Barry, Judith and CJ from the Eggheads,
0:20:27 > 0:20:29would you all leave the studio now, please?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33So, Peter, Ewen, Tony and Ed,
0:20:33 > 0:20:37you're playing to win the Royal Harmonics £23,000.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Pat and Kevin, you are playing for something which money can't buy.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43As you well know, it is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I ask each team three questions in turn initially.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48This time, the questions are all General Knowledge,
0:20:48 > 0:20:49you are allowed to confer.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52So, Peter, Ewen, Tony and Ed, the question is,
0:20:52 > 0:20:56are you four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Royal Harmonics, first or second?
0:20:58 > 0:20:59We'll go first please, Dermot.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Right. Let battle commence. First question.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11The design of the BAFTA Award traditionally takes which shape?
0:21:14 > 0:21:15- I think...- What do you think?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- I think it's a mask. - I believe it's the mask.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20I think it's a mask.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21- It's a mask on a stand.- Yes.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Mask. We think it's mask.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27It's the right answer, yes. The mask is correct.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30So, Eggheads.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35Pat and Kevin. How many world quiz championships do you have between you?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37We've got the reigning world quiz champion
0:21:37 > 0:21:39and the former world quiz champion.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Just so you know!- Between us?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Seven between us.- Seven world quiz championships in total.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47And only two of them.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Let me put this question to you, because this is an interesting one.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54In 2011, magician Paul Daniels was reportedly hit in the head
0:21:54 > 0:21:56by a pizza thrown at him by which puppet?
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Did you see this?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05No, no.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Right, OK. Because I certainly didn't.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08My first thought is pizza, food,
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Miss Piggy, perhaps?
0:22:10 > 0:22:15If that's not stereotyping her in an unfair way.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Basil is a cheeky chap. And Sooty, also.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21So, any of those three could chuck a pizza.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24I can't believe we're discussing this anyway!
0:22:24 > 0:22:27As I say, seven world quiz championships,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30and they've got Sooty, Basil Brush or Miss Piggy?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Basil has been out and about, he has done an ad in recent times.- OK.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36That's my very faint feeling.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Does Basil Brush tend to use his hands?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Well, they're just little things, aren't they?
0:22:41 > 0:22:45If he really put his mind to it, maybe he could chuck a pizza.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49- Shall we go for it? - It's a guess. It's just a guess.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53We're guessing, whatever happens. So, we'll, shall we?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55We'll go for Basil Brush.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Basil Brush.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58We worked out the fact you were guessing.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Maybe you mentioned it there.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Does Basil actually have hands?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06It's Sooty. Naughty Sooty.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Naughty Sooty indeed.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Imagine you not knowing that? You world quiz champions, hey?
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Hey! Well, that's great news for you, Royal Harmonics.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19You just need to give me two more correct answers and you've won the money.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22That is guaranteed, after that exchange.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23So.
0:23:23 > 0:23:29Which Scottish football club played in the final of the English FA Cup on two occasions?
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- Well.- Queen's Park? - As a sportsman, I'm out.- Hm.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42What have we got, any ideas?
0:23:42 > 0:23:46- Queen's Park play at Hampden Park. - Yes, they do.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Heart of Midlothian obviously plays in Edinburgh.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Hamilton Accies play in Hamilton!
0:23:52 > 0:23:55I quite like the idea of Queen's Park.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Come on, you Scottish guys.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00It's just at Hampden Park, that's all I know.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Are we going for something?- Yeah. OK.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06- I would say Queen's Park.- Queen's Park?- We don't really know, but...
0:24:06 > 0:24:09We don't really know, although we've got two Scots with us.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10But Queen's Park.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Queen's Park, we're going for.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14OK, you don't really know, so a bit of a guess.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Gone down the middle, and Queen's Park, Hampden Park.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I'm not sure Hampden was around when this happened.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- But it is Queen's Park. It's the right answer.- Good guess!
0:24:24 > 0:24:26And out of interest,
0:24:26 > 0:24:291884 and 1885.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33But I'm not going to dwell too long on the whys and wherefores of that,
0:24:33 > 0:24:37because we now have to dwell on the imminence of defeat for the Eggheads.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40If you don't get this, the money's gone.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Who played the roles of Fred Graham and Petruchio
0:24:43 > 0:24:46in the 1953 film, Kiss Me Kate?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52It's surely got to be Howard Keel?
0:24:52 > 0:24:57Because Fred Graham is a kind of matinee idol character.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Petruchio in Taming of the Shrew
0:25:00 > 0:25:03is a kind of braggadocio type of character as well.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07- I don't have any strong views at all, I'm afraid.- I don't know.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I don't remember that film at all.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10I'm happy with that.
0:25:10 > 0:25:16Er. No memory of that film version of Kiss Me Kate at all, 1953.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21But it seems by far the likeliest is Howard Keel.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Barry's worried? No, Barry's relieved.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Howard Keel is the right answer.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31Well, as I said after that Sooty slip-up by the Eggheads,
0:25:31 > 0:25:36you're guaranteed £23,000 with a correct answer here.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Who gave the Prince of Wales a dog with a collar inscribed,
0:25:39 > 0:25:44"I am his highness dog at Kew. Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?"
0:25:50 > 0:25:53If we were talking about Kew, it could be recently.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56I wouldn't have thought...
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- The language.- Was that Stephen Fry? - Stephen Fry's out, yes.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Disraeli was obviously a politician.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05What was the question? Who gave the Prime Minister the dog?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- Prince...- Oh, Prince of Wales.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- It could have been Edwards VII. - Edward VIII?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- Edward VII.- He was Prince of Wales.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16For years and years and years. So it could have been Disraeli.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Or it could have been Pope as well.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22I don't know. What are you going for?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24It's a bit poetic, isn't it?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Which would be Pope. - More Pope than Disraeli.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30- We don't know.- OK.
0:26:30 > 0:26:36We don't know, but we're going to go for Mr Pope.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Alexander Pope. Er...
0:26:40 > 0:26:41It's the right answer, you've won!
0:26:41 > 0:26:42THEY CHEER
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Whoo!
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- Thank you, Alexander Pope.- Exactly.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56From the highbrow nature of Pope, let's get back to that little glove puppet, Sooty.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57THEY LAUGH
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Which really turned it all around for you.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Just interested in the silent three,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06the three you took out so comprehensively in the head-to-heads.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Any of you know, heard of that story?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10It was all over the popular press.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13It was all over the press, it was front page on some of them.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15It's one of those silly stories.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17But you guys missed it. Any of you lot in the Question Room there?
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- Yes. Both CJ and I knew it.- Yes.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Naughty, naughty Sooty.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28Well, he's cost you your reputation. These world quiz champions didn't know it.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29So, how does that feel?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Did you think, before you came, you know how good the Eggheads are.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- What were your expectations? - We were worried that we would look...
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Foolish! - It's not like some of the victories that teams have here,
0:27:39 > 0:27:43where, we've seen teams, they lose all their head-to-heads,
0:27:43 > 0:27:48and somebody in the final round has three guesses, the Eggheads get an unlucky one, they take the money.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52You put it to them, you've knocked three of them out in the head-to-heads.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56You really destroyed them in the head-to-heads and took them apart in the final round as well.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59So, a comprehensive victory there for the Royal Harmonics
0:27:59 > 0:28:02who, no doubt, will be chortling and singing their way home.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04THEY LAUGH
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Thanks very much indeed for playing the Eggheads today.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Maybe they won't be thanking you.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11But you've just won that £23,000.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16And boy, how you proved it!
0:28:16 > 0:28:17Do join us next time on Eggheads
0:28:17 > 0:28:20to see if a new team of challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Until then, goodbye.
