0:00:04 > 0:00:08'These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.'

0:00:10 > 0:00:12'Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:12 > 0:00:16'arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.'

0:00:17 > 0:00:21'The question is - can they be beaten?'

0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers pit their wits

0:00:27 > 0:00:30against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.

0:00:33 > 0:00:37Taking on our awesome quiz champions today are Larger Than Life.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40These friends met whilst studying at Durham University.

0:00:40 > 0:00:44Their team name comes from the fact that they are all tall.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Sean, I'm 22 and I'm an international sales rep.

0:00:49 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Pip, I'm 22 and I'm studying for a master's in criminology.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Josh, I'm 22 and I'm studying sports science.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Flo, I'm 23 and I'm a bartender.

0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Fraser, I'm 27 and I'm a PhD student in physics.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07Sean and team, welcome. I was also at Durham

0:01:07 > 0:01:10and I'm also quite tall, so I relate completely.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Is it a coincidence that you're all tall? - Not really.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15You met through tallness.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18- We met through rowing. - Through rowing.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20So who are the main rowers?

0:01:20 > 0:01:22The three of us.

0:01:22 > 0:01:27I saw, in one of the great descriptions of a team we've had,

0:01:27 > 0:01:30that the others met at a Smurf-themed party.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33Yeah, that was my 21st party.

0:01:33 > 0:01:38- You decided to have a Smurf theme. - Well, Smurfs or fairies or a mix of both.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40So I was a Smurf fairy.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44Great to have some Durham University people. The most beautiful city

0:01:44 > 0:01:49and I loved my student days there. I think I was there before you!

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56If they fail to beat the Eggheads, it rolls over to the next show.

0:01:56 > 0:02:00So, Larger Than Life, the Eggheads have won the last game,

0:02:00 > 0:02:04which means that £2,000 says you can't beat them today.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Ready to give it a go?- Yes.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09First head-to-head battle is on Music.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Which one of you would like this? - Josh, that'd be you.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Josh... - Josh is quite up on his music.

0:02:15 > 0:02:20OK. Which Egghead? You can have any of them.

0:02:20 > 0:02:25- I reckon Barry. - I'm thinking Barry. He looks quite nervous.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Barry looks nervous!

0:02:27 > 0:02:31- He always looks like that! - He's quaking at the sight of Josh!

0:02:31 > 0:02:34OK, so Josh from Larger Than Life.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38When Barry walks out from behind there, he is actually six foot nine.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Sideways!

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Josh versus Barry from the Eggheads

0:02:43 > 0:02:47and to ensure there's no conferring, please go to our question room.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Josh, what's the connection with music?

0:02:51 > 0:02:54You wear headphones all the time?

0:02:54 > 0:02:58Basically, yeah, I've been an avid listener of lots of genres of music

0:02:58 > 0:03:03- since I was 10 or 11. - So can you range wider than just the charts?

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Well, I listen to the charts,

0:03:05 > 0:03:09but when I was younger, it was punk rock and heavy metal

0:03:09 > 0:03:12and I like to listen to opera now.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16Oh, I'm glad you mention opera, cos sometimes it does catch people out.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20I will ask each of you three questions on music.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24Whoever answers the most correctly wins. Josh, first or second?

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Can I go second, please?

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Here we go. Good luck to you both.

0:03:31 > 0:03:36Barry, who released her 12th studio album, entitled MDNA, in 2012?

0:03:39 > 0:03:41MDNA.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44That sounds like a pseudo-acronym.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48If you add a couple of As, an O and an N, you get Madonna,

0:03:48 > 0:03:50so I guess it's Madonna.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Madonna is quite right.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Josh, your question.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57The title of a popular World War I song

0:03:57 > 0:04:00by Harry Castling and Harry Carlton

0:04:00 > 0:04:06is The Tanks That Broke The Ranks Out In... where?

0:04:09 > 0:04:11No, I've not heard of this.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15Erm, but, out of the three, the one that makes the most sense,

0:04:15 > 0:04:19with tanks, would be Normandy. so I'll go for Normandy.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21We've got Chris here. He'll know.

0:04:21 > 0:04:26The Western Front didn't get as far west as Normandy or Brittany,

0:04:26 > 0:04:30so it's the tanks in Picardy, as in "roses are blooming in Picardy".

0:04:30 > 0:04:33The Tanks That Broke The Ranks Out In Picardy is the answer.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Sorry, Josh. Barry, over to you.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40Which actor won a Tony award for best leading actor in a musical

0:04:40 > 0:04:42in 1987

0:04:42 > 0:04:46for his performance in the Broadway production of Me And My Girl?

0:04:50 > 0:04:54I think I remember this. I think Robert Lindsay was in it,

0:04:54 > 0:04:56so that's my answer.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58You're right, it is Robert Lindsay.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Josh, which band's UK hit singles have included

0:05:03 > 0:05:06Get Down On It, Joanna

0:05:06 > 0:05:08and Cherish?

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Again, I've no idea.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18I've never heard of any of those bands.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21I'll go down the middle and say The Commodores.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25Josh, I'm sorry, it's Kool And The Gang,

0:05:25 > 0:05:28who were before your time and not punk.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30So no way back, that's it.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33You've been knocked out by Barry.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37Barry will be in the final. Please rejoin your teams.

0:05:38 > 0:05:43So the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47The next subject is Sport. That's got to be your subject.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Who wants this? - It would've been me, but...

0:05:50 > 0:05:54Do we want to keep you for general knowledge?

0:05:54 > 0:05:57Yeah, shall I try? I'll do Sport.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Right, Fraser. - Fraser on Sport.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Against which Egghead? Can't be Barry.- Judith?

0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Yep? - Yeah, Judith.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09So Fraser from Larger Than Life against Judith from the Eggheads.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Here we go, three questions on Sport

0:06:16 > 0:06:20and whoever answers the most goes through. Fraser, first or second?

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Ladies first, so I'll go second.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Judith Keppel.

0:06:28 > 0:06:33In 1892, Goodison Park became the home ground of which football team?

0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Goodison Park.- Yep.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42Well, it's not Fulham, cos that's Craven Cottage.

0:06:42 > 0:06:47Er, I think Everton's something else. I think it's Aston Villa.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Er, it's wrong actually. - It's Everton.- It's a hard one.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52It's Everton.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56Fraser, you're in the lead without answering a question.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00What name is given to the occasion in a tennis tie-break

0:07:00 > 0:07:04when a player wins a point on an opponent's serve?

0:07:07 > 0:07:11Er, yes, I've watched a fair amount of tennis,

0:07:11 > 0:07:16so... I would... tend towards

0:07:16 > 0:07:20- mini-break? - Mini-break is the answer, Fraser.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23OK. Judith, your question.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26In cricket, the first ever one-day international

0:07:26 > 0:07:29was contested in January 1971

0:07:29 > 0:07:31between Australia and which country?

0:07:38 > 0:07:41- England?- England is right.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43SHE LAUGHS Good.

0:07:43 > 0:07:48We went into an area of knowledge there! OK.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52Fraser, the boxer Mike Tyson was often known by which nickname?

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Er...

0:07:58 > 0:08:03I wouldn't know this from having actually heard it anywhere

0:08:03 > 0:08:06that I could recall,

0:08:06 > 0:08:09but for some reason, I'm tending towards Iron Mike

0:08:09 > 0:08:11rather than Silver and Steel.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Iron Mike sounds a bit more like a boxer's nickname

0:08:15 > 0:08:21than the other two, possibly, so I'm going to go with Iron Mike.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Iron Mike is correct, well done.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Iron Mike Tyson.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Judith, your question. If you get this one wrong, you're out.

0:08:29 > 0:08:34The Targa Florio, first contested in Italy in 1906,

0:08:34 > 0:08:37was an annual race in which sport?

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Well, horses have been going for a long time,

0:08:44 > 0:08:48so I don't think the first one would've been in 1906.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52Targa. What does Targa mean?

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Florio. Targa Florio.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56- I think it's cars. - So your answer is...

0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Motor racing.- Is correct.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01- Is it?- Well done.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Fraser, if you get this right, you're in the final round.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08At the 1920 Olympic Games, Oscar Swahn from Sweden

0:09:08 > 0:09:11won a silver medal at the age of 72

0:09:11 > 0:09:13in which sport?

0:09:16 > 0:09:19His name is spelt Oscar and then Swahn - S-W-A-H-N.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23Right, so this would have to be,...

0:09:23 > 0:09:26er,... just a complete guess.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29At the age of 72,

0:09:29 > 0:09:35I would rule out maybe equestrianism and archery

0:09:35 > 0:09:40just cos that would require, I think, a bit more... energy

0:09:40 > 0:09:42and athleticism,

0:09:42 > 0:09:46so I'm going to go with shooting with that respect.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Good logic. Shooting is right.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Well done, you take the round.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55Judith has been knocked out and you will be in the final.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Please rejoin your teams and we'll play on.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03The challengers have lost one brain, the Eggheads have lost one as well.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06And we go to Arts & Books.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Arts & Books, who wants this?

0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Flo, that's got to be you. - I would reckon.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16- I won't have a clue.- Flo?- Yeah.

0:10:16 > 0:10:20Who would you like to take on? It can be Chris or Daphne or Pat.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Er...

0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Pat?- Any preference? - Let's go for Pat.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- Pat.- Pat. OK.

0:10:28 > 0:10:32Flo from Larger Than Life versus Pat from the Eggheads.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Please take your positions.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38Flo, Arts & Books, you are the English student here.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41- That's right.- What did you study?

0:10:41 > 0:10:46All sorts - science fiction, bit of Shakespeare, Chaucer, romantics...

0:10:46 > 0:10:49No-one ever believes me when I say I studied science fiction.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53- They're still doing that?- Yeah, as a module.- I did that module.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57- Did you?- I wonder if it's got more old-fashioned -

0:10:57 > 0:11:02- it was Doris Lessing and people like that...- Yep.- Wow.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05We read the same books, incredible. OK, good luck.

0:11:05 > 0:11:10Arts & Books against Pat. Flo, first or second set of questions?

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Please can I go second?

0:11:14 > 0:11:20Pat, serigraphy is another name for which art practice?

0:11:26 > 0:11:31Well, I think sericulture is the breeding of silkworms to make silk,

0:11:31 > 0:11:34so I think this is silkscreen printing.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37It is silkscreen printing, you're right.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Flo, your question.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43What name links a number of humorous books and plays

0:11:43 > 0:11:47by writer Michael Green in which he pokes fun at the inadequacies

0:11:47 > 0:11:50of amateur dramatics?

0:11:54 > 0:11:58Erm... I think that the only one I've actually heard of

0:11:58 > 0:12:02out of those three is Coarse Acting.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06Erm, I really don't know the answer to this question.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Er...

0:12:09 > 0:12:13I think I'm going to go with Coarse Acting.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16You do know the answer. Coarse Acting it is. Good.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20OK, Pat. In which year did Arthur C Clarke

0:12:20 > 0:12:23set his final Space Odyssey novel?

0:12:31 > 0:12:34Well, he started with the short story The Sentinel,

0:12:34 > 0:12:38which, I think, became the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40I think he had a sequel

0:12:40 > 0:12:43and then, I think the third part

0:12:43 > 0:12:46was 3001.

0:12:47 > 0:12:493001 is correct.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Is that on your reading list, Flo? - Er, no.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54I haven't read that either.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57Your question. Whose painting, Portrait Of A Young Man,

0:12:57 > 0:13:02was looted during World War II and has never been found?

0:13:06 > 0:13:11Erm, again, I really don't know the answer to this question,

0:13:11 > 0:13:13erm...

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Portrait Of A Young Man.

0:13:16 > 0:13:20I think I'm going to go with Raphael.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23I'm not sure why, just a guess.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26You must be the young Daphne, cos she's good at guessing.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Raphael is correct.- Phew...

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Well done. OK.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34So two points each. Third question.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38Which author's long-lost story, L'Ingratitude,

0:13:38 > 0:13:41written in French in the 1840s - excuse my accent -

0:13:41 > 0:13:44was published for the first time in 2012?

0:13:49 > 0:13:53I... You tend to hear of Jane Austen,

0:13:53 > 0:13:59erm,... mostly her classic six... novels,

0:13:59 > 0:14:03which are very definitely England-set.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05I'm not sure about this.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09The date, 1840s,

0:14:09 > 0:14:13might be a bit late for Jane Austen, but I could be wrong.

0:14:13 > 0:14:17It should be just about right for Charlotte Bronte, I think.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20I don't know, I'm guessing here.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23I'm going for Charlotte Bronte.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Charlotte Bronte

0:14:25 > 0:14:27is the answer. Well done.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29So a bit of tension here, Flo.

0:14:29 > 0:14:33- Yeah.- Got to get this right or you're knocked out.- OK.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36During his lifetime, which American dramatist

0:14:36 > 0:14:40won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama three times

0:14:40 > 0:14:46for the plays Anna Christie, Strange Interlude and Beyond the Horizon?

0:14:52 > 0:14:55Erm, the only one of those I've actually read

0:14:55 > 0:14:57is Eugene O'Neill,

0:14:57 > 0:15:03but I've never read the three plays that you just mentioned.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05For some reason, Strange Interlude

0:15:05 > 0:15:10sounds like something O'Neill would entitle a play as.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13I don't think it's Thornton Wilder.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18Tennessee Williams and Eugene O'Neill

0:15:18 > 0:15:22are far more familiar names to me than Thornton Wilder,

0:15:22 > 0:15:25which could mean that the three plays,

0:15:25 > 0:15:29as I haven't heard of them, could be Thornton Wilder.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Erm, but...

0:15:31 > 0:15:34I think I'm going to go with Tennessee Williams.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37I'm not sure why.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41Your guessing has been good so far. Let's see if the Eggheads know this.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44- ALL: Eugene O'Neill. - It's Eugene O'Neill.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46I'm sorry, you're wrong.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48That means Pat has knocked you out.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51Pat, you're in the final round. Flo, you're not.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Please rejoin your team-mates.

0:15:55 > 0:15:59The challengers have lost two brains, the Eggheads have lost one.

0:15:59 > 0:16:03One more subject before the final round and it is Geography.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05Who would like this?

0:16:05 > 0:16:07It's got to be Pip or Sean.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Rock, paper, scissors?

0:16:09 > 0:16:13- Yeah, OK.- Yeah?- Rock, paper, scissors, let's see this.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15One, two...

0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Oh, no.- Me.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20The rock blunts the scissors, that's right.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22So, Pip, it's Geography for you.

0:16:22 > 0:16:26Which Egghead? Or maybe they should do rock, paper, scissors.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29- It could be Daphne or Chris. - I'd rather Daphne.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32- Yeah. - Yeah, I'll challenge Daphne.

0:16:32 > 0:16:36So Pip from Larger Than Life against Daphne from the Eggheads.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40And so there's no conferring, take your positions in the question room.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44I will ask each of you three questions on Geography.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Pip - first or second set?

0:16:47 > 0:16:49I'll go for the first one, please.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54Pip, good luck. Which continent is sometimes referred to

0:16:54 > 0:16:57as the Great White Continent?

0:17:01 > 0:17:04Well, I would've thought,

0:17:04 > 0:17:07from the name, it would be Antarctica.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12But that seems a bit too easy.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17I'm going to have to take a guess and say Antarctica.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Well done, you're right. That's good.

0:17:20 > 0:17:24It was almost too obvious. You were looking for a catch.

0:17:24 > 0:17:29Daphne, the European immigrant Jonas Bronck

0:17:29 > 0:17:31gave his name to a river and borough

0:17:31 > 0:17:33in which American city?

0:17:37 > 0:17:39I didn't know there was a river,

0:17:39 > 0:17:42but I assume it's New York.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45New York, the Bronx, I guess, of course.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48OK, one each. Pip,

0:17:48 > 0:17:51Rangoon, also known as Yangon,

0:17:51 > 0:17:53is a city in which country?

0:17:58 > 0:18:01That doesn't sound Nigerian.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Yangon.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09Again, it'll have to be a guess.

0:18:09 > 0:18:10Burma?

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Burma is correct. Very good.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Your question, Daphne.

0:18:17 > 0:18:22Tyddewi is the Welsh name for which part of Wales?

0:18:27 > 0:18:30Mmm.

0:18:31 > 0:18:36I do not... I can't even get a handle on it.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39Erm...

0:18:41 > 0:18:44I've no idea.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47I will guess at Gower Peninsula?

0:18:47 > 0:18:49The answer is St Davids.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53Pip, you're in the lead. Get this right, you're in the final round.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56Here we go. Your team will go crazy.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59What is the name of the Australian road

0:18:59 > 0:19:03which links the cities of Perth and Kalgoorlie?

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Uhh...

0:19:13 > 0:19:15I've no idea.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19Erm...

0:19:19 > 0:19:25Great Eastern Highway sounds quite... a prestigious road.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Erm...

0:19:29 > 0:19:33I'm going to rule out... Dampier Highway.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36So I'm torn between the two.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47For some reason, I'm now changing my mind to Dampier Highway.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52So...

0:19:54 > 0:19:56I'm going with Dampier Highway.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00It's not, it's Great Eastern Highway.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04- You ruled it out cos it looked like a boring name?- Yeah.- I thought so.

0:20:04 > 0:20:08You're still in the lead and we'll see what Daphne does.

0:20:08 > 0:20:12Daphne, Turku is the former capital of which country?

0:20:15 > 0:20:18- Finland.- Finland is correct.

0:20:18 > 0:20:22You're equal. Well done, Daphne. We go to sudden death.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25It gets harder because I don't give you alternatives.

0:20:25 > 0:20:31The historical port of Jaffa became part of which city in 1950?

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Mmm...

0:20:35 > 0:20:38Erm,... I haven't got a clue,

0:20:38 > 0:20:41I'm going to say the first thing that comes into my head

0:20:41 > 0:20:44- and that's Berlin.- Berlin, OK.

0:20:44 > 0:20:48- Flo, you'll know this. - I said Tel Aviv,

0:20:48 > 0:20:53but that's only because there's a Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56I saw that you'd been to Israel. Yes, Tel Aviv is the answer.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59It is in Israel, not Germany.

0:20:59 > 0:21:03Daphne, if you get this right, you're in the final round.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06In which country is the Gulf of Ob?

0:21:06 > 0:21:09- OP?- O-B.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Russia.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Eh?- Russia.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16- How did you do that?- Is it right?

0:21:16 > 0:21:20Yes! You looked so surprised, I thought you couldn't know it.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Sorry, Pip. She's done what Daphne does.

0:21:23 > 0:21:27I don't know how, but she's right. Daphne, you're in the final.

0:21:27 > 0:21:32Pip, you've been knocked out. Please rejoin us for the final round.

0:21:33 > 0:21:37This is what we've been playing towards - the final round,

0:21:37 > 0:21:39which is general knowledge.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43But those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be taking part.

0:21:43 > 0:21:48Pip, Josh and Flo from Larger Than Life and Judith from the Eggheads,

0:21:48 > 0:21:51please now leave the studio.

0:21:52 > 0:21:56Sean and Fraser, you are playing to win Larger Than Life £2,000.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Pat, Barry, Chris and Daphne,

0:21:59 > 0:22:03you are playing for something that money can't buy - your reputation.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:06 > 0:22:10The questions are all general knowledge and you can confer.

0:22:10 > 0:22:15Sean and Fraser, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:22:15 > 0:22:18Can you overcome them? Would you like to go first or second?

0:22:18 > 0:22:22Erm... I think we'll go second.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26Here we go, Eggheads.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29In 1983, who described Margaret Thatcher

0:22:29 > 0:22:31as the "best man in England"?

0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Think it's Reagan.- Was it?

0:22:38 > 0:22:41Well, Mitterand described her as "Caligula"...

0:22:41 > 0:22:44- I think Reagan... - It wasn't Kinnock.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47- No, no. no. - Gorbachev?

0:22:47 > 0:22:49I'm sure it's Ronald Reagan.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53'83. Glasnost and Perestroika hadn't started.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55I have a feeling it's Reagan.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58If it's '83, it must be Reagan. Must be Reagan.

0:22:58 > 0:23:02Yeah, they had a mutual-admiration society going.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04Yeah, I'm happy with that.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07- It's Ronald Reagan, Jeremy. - Is correct.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09Over to you guys.

0:23:09 > 0:23:14In 1995, who was appointed Brazil's Extraordinary Minister of Sport?

0:23:19 > 0:23:23Well, obviously everyone in Brazil's going to love Pele.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26Yeah. Do you know the other two?

0:23:26 > 0:23:29I'm not sure... I've heard of them,

0:23:29 > 0:23:32but just because Pele seems that sort. Yeah.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34We'll go Pele.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Pele is right. One each. Well done.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Back to you, Eggheads. Final round.

0:23:40 > 0:23:44Gertrude Jekyll, who died in 1932,

0:23:44 > 0:23:48designed around 400 what in her lifetime?

0:23:50 > 0:23:52Gardens. Gardens.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55Garden designer. Gardens, Jeremy.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57Gardens is correct.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59OK. Your second question.

0:23:59 > 0:24:04In which country did the Zapotec civilisation originate?

0:24:08 > 0:24:11It's spelt Z-A-P-O-T-E-C.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13Aztec sort of thing?

0:24:13 > 0:24:16That's what I was thinking.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18South American sort of area.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22I would exclude... exclude maybe Japan.

0:24:22 > 0:24:27Kenya and Mexico have got a lot of tribes.

0:24:27 > 0:24:32Tribal names. But I think I would tend towards Mexico

0:24:32 > 0:24:36just because it's a similar ending to Aztec.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38We'll go with that, I think.

0:24:38 > 0:24:42- Yeah, we'll go with Mexico. - Mexico is right. Two out of two.

0:24:42 > 0:24:46Your team-mates are really pleased. OK, third question now.

0:24:46 > 0:24:50Let's see if you can get this, Eggheads.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Demoiselle is a species of which bird?

0:24:55 > 0:24:58It's a crane. Crane, crane.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Demoiselle crane, yeah.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02It's a crane, Jeremy.

0:25:02 > 0:25:06You're not really hesitating on these. Crane is the right answer.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10OK, let's see if you can take them to sudden death.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14This is the disadvantage of going second - pressure comes back to you.

0:25:14 > 0:25:18Get this one right - sudden death. Get it wrong, it's over.

0:25:18 > 0:25:22Which opera singer is the main character in Terrence McNally's play

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Master Class?

0:25:30 > 0:25:34Heard of any of them? I'm not that much of an opera guy.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37Neither of us are, really.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42Leaning towards Enrico, but... Do you like the name Enrico?

0:25:42 > 0:25:45Yeah. Erm...

0:25:45 > 0:25:48No reason other than that, really.

0:25:48 > 0:25:49Master Class...

0:25:49 > 0:25:54Could go Maria Callas cos it's a bit like Master Class?

0:25:54 > 0:25:58Maria Callas. That's about the only...

0:25:58 > 0:26:01Can go with that. At least it's a reason.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03We'll go with Maria Callas.

0:26:03 > 0:26:08- What was the reason? - It sounds like Master Class.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11You're right.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14Is that a connection that's real?

0:26:14 > 0:26:16- No.- No.

0:26:16 > 0:26:20So it's sudden death. Three each in the final round. It's exciting.

0:26:20 > 0:26:24Eggheads, it's a bit harder. I do not give you alternatives.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27Which businesswoman, who died in 2007,

0:26:27 > 0:26:30founded the Body Shop chain?

0:26:30 > 0:26:32Anita Roddick. Yeah?

0:26:32 > 0:26:36Yeah. That was Anita Roddick, Jeremy.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38Anita Roddick is correct. Well done.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40OK. Sudden death.

0:26:40 > 0:26:45Which Irish actor played Roy in the TV show The IT Crowd

0:26:45 > 0:26:49and Nathan Rhodes in the film Bridesmaids?

0:26:49 > 0:26:53It's not the one with glasses, it's the other one.

0:26:53 > 0:26:54Yes...

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Erm...

0:26:56 > 0:26:59Oh, no.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01I can picture him in The IT Crowd,

0:27:01 > 0:27:05but I don't know... I can't remember his name.

0:27:05 > 0:27:06Erm...

0:27:08 > 0:27:12Shall we go with an Irish name of some sort?

0:27:12 > 0:27:18I don't know, the guess isn't going to be the right guess.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21Oh, no.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24We're going to have to guess or pass.

0:27:24 > 0:27:28Erm... Any good Irish names that might come up?!

0:27:28 > 0:27:31Our guesses have been pretty good so far.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34Ooh...

0:27:39 > 0:27:41Brian... Finnigan?

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Brian Finnigan, if that's a person.

0:27:43 > 0:27:47- HE LAUGHS - Sort of Identikit Irish name!

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Brian Finnigan.

0:27:49 > 0:27:54- Let's see if the Eggheads know. - I think it's Chris O'Dowd.- It is!

0:27:54 > 0:27:56I know you knew it

0:27:56 > 0:28:00and it does mean we have to say congratulations, Eggheads,

0:28:00 > 0:28:02you have won!

0:28:05 > 0:28:10But thank you for playing, from Durham University, good to see you.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13The Eggheads have done what comes naturally.

0:28:13 > 0:28:18They still reign supreme over quiz land. Building up a streak maybe.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21That means you don't win the £2,000,

0:28:21 > 0:28:24so the money rolls over to the next show. Eggheads, congratulations.

0:28:24 > 0:28:27Who will beat you?

0:28:27 > 0:28:30Join us next time to see if a new team can defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:30 > 0:28:35£3,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
