0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today are...
0:00:36 > 0:00:42..from Lancashire, whose team of friends regularly attend the quiz night at their local, The Fairhaven,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45in Lytham, where Tony is the quiz master.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- So why don't we meet them? - Hi, I'm Jeff.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50I'm 50 years old and I'm a site supervisor.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi. I'm Mick, I'm 59 years old, and I'm a retired IT project manager.
0:00:54 > 0:01:00Hi. I'm Tony, I'm 67 years old. I'm a part-time teacher and illustrator.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi. I'm Mark, I'm 45, and I'm a supply chain specialist.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I'm Nick, I'm 39, and I'm a chartered accountant.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11So, Jeff and team, welcome. So why are you called the Challenger's Challengers?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Obviously my surname is Challenger.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18I was a bit nervous about coming on to this show.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21As a quiz, Mick joined our team about September.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25We'd won three or four rounds, and he'd got these ideas of grandeur
0:01:25 > 0:01:28and said, "Why don't we go on the Eggheads?"
0:01:28 > 0:01:32I was a bit reluctant. So they figured they could railroad me in
0:01:32 > 0:01:34by calling the team Challenger's Challengers.
0:01:34 > 0:01:40- To make it even worse, they made me the captain.- There you go. You're in charge. It's a great name.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42When I saw your name was Jeff Challenger,
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- I thought, "Is that made up for today, or that's your real name? - It is.
0:01:46 > 0:01:52The Challenger's Challengers. Every day there is £1,000-worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56This could get confusing. If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02So, I can tell you that the Eggheads have won the last two games,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06which means that £3,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of arts and books.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Who is the book person?
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Skip?- I'm thinking Nick myself. - I think Nick.- I think Nick.
0:02:16 > 0:02:22- OK.- Do you want to do it?- Sure. - Nick, OK? Against which Egghead?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24You can have any one of them.
0:02:24 > 0:02:31- Pat. I think maybe Pat.- Pat?- Pat? - Pat. I'll go with Pat.- OK, it is Nick from Challenger's Challengers
0:02:31 > 0:02:33vs Pat from the Eggheads on arts and books.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38Just to ensure there's no conferring, take your positions in the question room.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42I will ask three multiple choice questions.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50- Nick, your choice. Would you like to go first or second? - I'll go first, please.
0:02:53 > 0:02:59Good luck. The novel Gone With The Wind is set against the backdrop of which historical conflict? Is it...
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Um, I haven't read the book, I have seen the film,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10and therefore it is the American Civil War.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- It is. Well done. - Go on, Nicky.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18OK, Pat, Auguste Rodin's sculpture The Kiss,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21housed in the Musee Rodin, is made of what material? Is it...
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Most of his sculptures have stood outside,
0:03:26 > 0:03:30so I think he tended to work in more durable materials
0:03:30 > 0:03:34than clay and wood. I'll have to go for marble.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Marble is the right answer. Well done.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Back to you, Nick.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Diana and Callisto,
0:03:41 > 0:03:47which was sold to the National Gallery for £45m in 2012, is a painting by which artist?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Well, I'm at an advantage because I've heard of all three of those,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57but beyond that I'm not entirely sure.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Um... Diana and Callisto?
0:04:01 > 0:04:06I'm tempted with Titian because it sounds kind of epic.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I'll take a punt with Titian, please?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Titian is the right answer.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- Go on, Nicky.- Nicely done. Good logic there. OK, Pat,
0:04:16 > 0:04:21the Trask family features in which 1952 John Steinbeck novel?
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Of Mice and Men isn't really family based. I think it's two friends,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32two unlikely friends, Lennie and George, I think.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36The Grapes of Wrath is the Joad family, heading West from Oklahoma.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41And I think it's Caleb and his brother in the Trasks.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- I think they're in East of Eden. - Have you read all those?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48No. No, I haven't. I have no idea how I acquired my Trask knowledge.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51HE LAUGHS You sound very well-read anyway.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53East of Eden is the right answer, Pat.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58OK, Nick, get the third one right. Put him under pressure.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02In which year was the Harold Pinter play The Birthday Party first performed?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I think '78 is perhaps little late.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17I don't know a great deal about Pinter, but I think probably the Sixties,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20the mid to late-Sixties, so I'll got with 1968.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- It's '58.- Ah!- Sorry. Earlier than we thought.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I would've gone with '68, too. '58 is the answer.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30You've got two out of three. Let's see if Pat can knock you out.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Which poet described men as being like buses, saying in a poem,
0:05:34 > 0:05:39"You wait for about a year, and as soon as one approaches your stop, two or three others appear."
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Before the options came up I was thinking of Wendy Cope. Um...
0:05:49 > 0:05:51It sounds a bit whimsical.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I think Carol Ann Duffy is reasonably serious.
0:05:55 > 0:06:01I don't know much about Ruth Padel's poetry. I know she was in the running for a post in Oxford.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Um... I think I'll have to go with Wendy Cope.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08You've got it right. Well done. Wendy Cope it is. Sorry, Nick.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11That's tough. That is tough, and he is a very good player.
0:06:12 > 0:06:18He's very quiet, Pat, but he's good on arts and books. I've noticed this. You've been knocked out, Nick.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Oh, well.- Pat is in the final. Come back and rejoin your teammates.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:06:27 > 0:06:32the Eggheads have lost no brains. The next subject is politics. Who would like this?
0:06:32 > 0:06:37- Nobody, really.- Go on, Skip. - It's up to you, Jeff.- Mick, yeah?
0:06:37 > 0:06:42- Do you want me to?- Are you confident or not?- I'm confident.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47I'm confident of not winning, but I still want to take on Kevin.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- You want to take on Kevin? - Yes.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- OK.- Go for it, Mick.- We're going to go with Mick, I think.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I like your style. You want to take on Kevin?
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- I want to take on Kevin. It'd be an honour to lose to him. - You're not going to lose.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- You haven't lost yet.- I've been watching this programme for a long time.
0:07:03 > 0:07:09He's very good, but he's like a massive mainframe computer. Sometimes you get a glitch and he'll crash.
0:07:09 > 0:07:15Good luck, Mick from Challenger's Challengers vs Kevin from the Eggheads. Go to the question room.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21I'll ask three questions on politics. Whoever answers the most correctly is the winner.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Mick, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I'd like to go second, please, Jeremy.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Here we go, Kevin. Which politician married Sally Illman in 2002?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38It's not Nick Clegg.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42I think it's John Bercow. I think it's Sally Bercow.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46John Bercow is the right answer. The Speaker of the House of Commons.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Mick, your question. Who won Russia's 2012 presidential election? Was it...
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Well, I know it wasn't Abramovich. I haven't heard of the middle one.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05I think Vladimir Putin was re-elected.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Vladimir Putin was indeed the answer. Well done. It was Putin.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Kevin, Charles Watson-Wentworth, Second Marques of Rockingham,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19and John Stuart, Third Earl of Bute,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22were prime ministers of Great Britain in which century?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28They were two of the early prime ministers in the 18th century.
0:08:28 > 0:08:3018th is the right answer.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Back to you, Mick. You're quizzing with Kevin.
0:08:33 > 0:08:40- How does it feel?- I've been watching Eggheads for a long time. This is quite a surreal moment, win or lose.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Listen, if you win it's even better.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Here's your question. Betty Boothroyd was a member of which political party
0:08:46 > 0:08:50before becoming Speaker of the House of Commons in 1992?
0:08:53 > 0:08:57I'm drawn towards Labour,
0:08:57 > 0:09:02and I've always said that I'm going to go with my first instinct.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04So I'm going to choose Labour.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Labour is the right answer.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10So we've got two out of two for both of you.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Third question to you, Kevin.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Who resigned as a Northern Ireland minister in 1994
0:09:16 > 0:09:20over allegations that he'd accepted money from Mohamed Al Fayed
0:09:20 > 0:09:23to table parliamentary questions?
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I must admit, I don't remember that. I don't think it was Edward Leigh.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I think he had quite a distinguished committee career.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Committee chairman, that sort of thing.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Tim Smith, with all due deference to him,
0:09:42 > 0:09:47it's such a common name I'm not really familiar at all.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I'm going to go with Rod Richards, I think.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- You got it wrong.- Oh. Tsk.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Tim Smith is the answer.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Hey, what about this? - Come on, Mick.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02This is great, Mick. He wants to take on Kevin, he takes him on,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05now you're one answer away from beating Kevin.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10The National Trust property Dorneywood, which is traditionally the country residence
0:10:10 > 0:10:14of a senior member of the government, is located in which county?
0:10:18 > 0:10:22I'm going to saviour this moment for as long as I can, I think.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- I think he knows it. - I've not heard of it.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31For no particular reason I'm thinking Kent or Buckinghamshire.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35I'm going to go Buckinghamshire.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Mick, you've just knocked Kevin out of Eggheads.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Your ambition to take him on, now you've realised the dream.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52Buckinghamshire is right. Well done. That's where Dorneywood is. What about that, Kevin?
0:10:52 > 0:10:57You're not in the final round. Mick's knocked you out and will be in the final.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Please, both of you, come back here and rejoin your teams.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Mick, maybe it was meant to be? You take on Kevin and you knock him out.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- I don't know. Do I get a certificate?- You should. So, it's looking better for you.
0:11:13 > 0:11:19The challengers have lost one brain, the Eggheads have lost one brain as well. The next subject is sport.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- I'm thinking somebody wants this. - I wanted it.- Oh, you wanted it?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27The question is, though, who do we go with?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Do you want to go for Judith or Chris?
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- Chris, I think.- Chris? - Go on, it doesn't matter.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- I'll take 'em all on.- You can do it. Go for Chris. Chris.
0:11:39 > 0:11:45Mark from Challenger's Challengers against Chris from the Eggheads. Go to the question room now.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48So I will ask each of you three question on sport.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Mark, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I think I'll go first, please.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00Here we go. Good luck. Which position is most associated with the footballer Carlos Tevez?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Ooh. Carlos Tevez?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I don't think he's a goalkeeper because of his size.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Um... He doesn't strike me as being that rugged for a defender,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17so I think I will go with striker.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I think you knew the answer straightaway.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Striker is the correct answer.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29Chris, when did Alec Stewart first play Test match cricket for England?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Alec Stewart? That's a bit of a long way away, isn't it?
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Not as far back as 1970, not as late as 1990.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- So I'll go with 1980. - No, it's not. It's 1990.- Is it?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Yeah. So Mark is ahead already. Here's your question.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Which golfer won three Majors in 2000?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Oh. Mick's our golfing expert.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00Um... The obvious answer to me, I think, is Tiger Woods.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- So we'll go with Tiger Woods. - Is he right, Mick?- He is right.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07You are right. Tiger Woods it is.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Chris, the English Rugby Union player Chris Robshaw
0:13:14 > 0:13:17represented which Premiership club during the 2011/12 season?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Saracens ground is shared with Watford?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Same as last time, down the middle, Saracens.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- OK, if you've got this wrong, you're out, aren't you?- Yeah.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37Let's just check, cos you don't normally score zero. But you have done. It's Harlequins.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Mmm. I'll get my coat.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- Mark, how about that? A walkover. - Things happen.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48- You can only answer the questions you know the answers to.- Well done. You're in the final round.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Your team is playing very, very well. Chris is also a casualty.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55If you both come back we will play the next round.
0:13:55 > 0:14:01As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain and the Eggheads have lost two from the final round.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Film and TV is the last subject before the final. Who'd like this?
0:14:05 > 0:14:10- It's got to be Tony or Jeff. - It can't be you. It can't be me. - It's got to be me.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- I think it's you, Jeff.- OK, the Challenger himself against?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- I'm going to go Barry. I'll take Barry.- OK.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21It is the Challenger himself from Challenger's Challengers
0:14:21 > 0:14:23against Barry from the Eggheads on film and TV
0:14:23 > 0:14:27To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions now.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30OK, Jeff, good luck here. Your team are playing well.
0:14:30 > 0:14:36- It's film and TV. Would you like the first or second set of questions? - I think I'll go first, please.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Here we go. Good luck. At what time is the TV programme Newsnight
0:14:42 > 0:14:45usually broadcast on BBC2? Is it...
0:14:48 > 0:14:51I'm not that sure about that one, to be honest with you.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I don't think it's as early as six-thirty.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58And maybe not eight-thirty.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02I think I'm tempted to go with ten-thirty, Jeremy.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07I'm so glad you did, cos I used to present it and I'd feel so bad for them if you got that wrong.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Ten-thirty is the right answer. Well done.- Good lad.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15OK, Barry, who played Cruella de Vil in the 1996 film 101 Dalmatians,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18and its sequel, 102 Dalmatians?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Oh, she played it with great flair and much panache.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27I believe it was Glenn Close.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31You're very close with that answer. Glenn Close is correct.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Jeff, over to you.
0:15:33 > 0:15:39Who played the young CIA agent Matt Weston in the 2012 film Safe House?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45It's not a film I've seen.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Erm...
0:15:47 > 0:15:51I'm not familiar with these actors, to be honest with you.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Um... I don't think it's Tom Hardy.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00I'm tempted to do what one of their colleagues does, a Daphne special,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02and not go in the middle.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06I'm going to go to the right. I'm going to go Chris Evans, please.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09I wish you'd gone down the middle, cos it's Ryan Reynolds.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13It's Ryan Reynolds. But you're right to rule out Tom Hardy.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Barry, in which year was the TV show I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here
0:16:17 > 0:16:19first broadcast? Was it...
0:16:24 > 0:16:28I'm going to be in serious trouble with my wife if I get this wrong.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31She's an absolute devotee of this show.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35I think it's been running a long time. I'm going to go for 2002.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Brilliant, Barry. Well done. You're right.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Your wife will be pleased. OK, Jeff.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46Terry Rossio is best-known for his expertise in which film discipline?
0:16:50 > 0:16:54He's not an actor. I think he's a screenwriter.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Bang on. Well done. You're still in it.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02That's very useful. You would've been knocked out if you'd got it wrong.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Barry, it's your round if you get this right.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Which character was played by Kirstie Alley in the TV series Cheers?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16It wasn't Carla Tortelli, I know that,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18and I don't believe it was Diane Chambers.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I believe it was Rebecca Howe.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- What do you think, Challenger's Challengers? Is he right?- He's right.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28You're right. You've knocked out the Challenger himself.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Rebecca Howe is right. You will be in the final round. Sorry, Jeff.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35You both come back to us now. We'll play the final.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41This is what we've been playing towards. It's the final round, which is general knowledge.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45But those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part.
0:17:45 > 0:17:50That is Jeff and Nick from Challenger's Challengers, and Kevin and Chris from the Eggheads.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Would you please now leave the studio?
0:17:54 > 0:17:59OK, Mick, Tony and Mark, you are playing to win Challenger's Challengers £3,000.
0:17:59 > 0:18:05Judith, Pat and Barry, you are playing for something money can't really buy. The Eggheads' reputation.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. These are all general knowledge.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Gentlemen, you can confer. Now Mick, Tony and Mark,
0:18:13 > 0:18:18the question is, are you able, with your three brains, to destroy the Eggheads?
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- Would you like to go first or second? - Second, do you say?- First or second?
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- I'd like to go second.- Second. - We're in the game longer.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29We've decided we'd like to go second, please.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37Here we go, final round. Good luck. Squaw Valley, which hosted the Winter Olympics in 1960,
0:18:37 > 0:18:39is a resort in which US state?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- It's California, isn't it? - It's California.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- Lake Placid is New York State, Squaw Valley is California. - I'm happy with that
0:18:50 > 0:18:52The Winter Olympics were held there.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- They've never been held in Delaware or Wisconsin.- OK.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58We think it's California.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02California is the right answer. Well done. Over to you guys.
0:19:02 > 0:19:08"I've been cheated by you since I don't know when, so I made up my mind it must come to an end,"
0:19:08 > 0:19:10are the opening lines to which ABBA song?
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- Um...- "Waterloo", that doesn't start with that, does it?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Jeff will be telling us this one.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25"Waterloo"?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27HE HUMS "Waterloo"
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Doesn't it start with Waterloo? - No, it's not.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33"Waterloo" starts with Waterloo.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- I think "Waterloo" starts with Waterloo.- "Dancing Queen".
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- # Mamma Mia... # - It must be that one.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Took me a while to get there, but let's go that.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- "Mamma Mia". - We'll go with "Mamma Mia".
0:19:45 > 0:19:49# I've been cheated by you Since I don't know when... #
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- You're right. "Mamma Mia" is the answer.- Good man.- Well done.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54The brain is working. Eggheads,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57the suricate is another name for which animal?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- Meerkat.- Meerkat.- Definitely.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Definitely meerkat.- Definitely meerkat.- OK. It's a meerkat.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Meerkat is absolutely right.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Over to you, Challenger's Challengers. Your second question.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15For how many years was Edward the Confessor king of England?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Edward the Confessor?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- Was he one of the early ones?- Yes.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26I don't know this.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Edward the Confessor was...
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Was he not 1066?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I'd go for the shortest one, but...
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- Right.- I don't know.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43- Actually, why would we go with the shortest?- I should know this. - You should know this.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- A man of your stature.- Um...
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Keep thinking. - '66. That would take us to...
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Let Tony have a think.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- I'd go for 29.- 29?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- 29.- On what basis?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Gut reaction.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05If you're happy with 29, we will not hold it against you.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06- No.- Promise.- No.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Right, well, I think, after due deliberation,
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- we'll go for 29.- 29? OK.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16And you were right about 1066, so you got the end year bang on.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- Eggheads?- I'm not sure. I've got 24 going through my mind.
0:21:20 > 0:21:2224 is the right answer.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25It's the shortest one. 1042 to 1066.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29OK, let's see. If the Eggheads get this right they've taken the contest.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Which explorer led a 1577 expedition
0:21:32 > 0:21:37in a fleet consisting of the ships Aid, Gabriel and Michael?
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- If you get this right, you've taken the contest.- It wasn't Cabot.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50- Cabot's ship was called the Matthew. - This is Sebastian. That was John. - Ah, that's true.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55- Sebastian went down to Brazil, didn't he?- Yeah.- John did Canada. - That's true.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- I don't know.- Sebastian Cabot, is he the son of the other?- I think he is.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01So he's later.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- Frobisher did Canadian waters, didn't he?- Yes.- Hudson did Canada.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10- Hudson, I think, only had one ship. He was set adrift, wasn't he? - To die.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- I don't think there were three ships.- What are their dates? Do you know?
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Cabot was probably the earliest, then Frobisher.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22- Even though he's the son?- Cabot went in Tudor times, didn't he?- Yes.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26- So he's a long time back. - I have a feeling it's Frobisher,
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- but I can't pin it down.- I think it's either Frobisher or Cabot.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Would they have had three ships to Brazil, or more ships to Canada?
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- Who'd have commissioned?- Where did Frobisher go? Canada?- Yeah.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- It might be too late for Cabot. - I think it's too early for Hudson and Frobisher.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47- It's too early for Frobisher? - Very early. It's only 80 years after Columbus.
0:22:47 > 0:22:53- Shall we go for Cabot?- I have a feeling Cabot is the oldest of those three, but that's not very sound.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- All right, I'll go with you. I really don't know.- OK.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- We're very doubtful.- I can tell.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03But we think Sebastian Cabot is the most likely.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Right, Sebastian Cabot is your answer. You had...
0:23:07 > 0:23:11The closest you got to an inkle seemed to be Barry with Frobisher.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13But it wasn't very strong.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18You should have listened to Barry. Martin Frobisher is the answer, so you're still in it.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Here's your question. If you get this right, it's level.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26If you get it wrong, the contest is over. Peenemunde, on Germany's Baltic coast,
0:23:26 > 0:23:31was the site during World War II of the development of what military innovation?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Have you any idea?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- I'm thinking something to do with... - At first I thought sonar.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Submarines, but...
0:23:45 > 0:23:49- Submarines. There was the V-2.- The V-2 was a missile, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- It's not helicopter. - I don't think it's helicopter.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Sonar?
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Sonar.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03I think it is. They do loads of bombing raids on that area.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07On the V-1 or the V-2.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- Missile?- Yeah.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16We've come to the conclusion that it's missile.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Very good. Missile is correct.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Well done.- Well done, Tony.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Pulled it out of the fire. I thought you were on the edge of going out,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27but it hasn't happened. We go to sudden death.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30It's a bit harder. I don't give you alternative answers.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Eggheads, you first.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36"Es" is the chemical symbol for which radioactive metallic element,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39which was named after a famous scientist born in 1879?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- "Es"? - Einsteinium, is it?
0:24:43 > 0:24:451879?
0:24:46 > 0:24:511905 was his annus mirabilis and he was about 26 then,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53so that would be spot on for 1879, wouldn't it?
0:24:53 > 0:24:57- If Einsteinium isn't Es, then what is it?- Yes.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59- It must be Einsteinium. - It's Einsteinium.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Einsteinium is the right answer. Well done.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06OK, pressure's on here. The perils of going second, isn't it?
0:25:07 > 0:25:11On which daily newspaper was Ian Wooldridge a sports writer for over 40 years?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- Daily Mail.- Daily Mail.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19It rings a bell. I just can't think which one it was.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Daily Mail, unless it was the Sunday Mail?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- I think it was the Daily Mail. - The Daily Mail.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Daily Mail is the right answer. Playing well. Playing very well.
0:25:28 > 0:25:34OK, Eggheads, the singer/songwriter Elizabeth Grant, who was born in New York in 1986,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36is better known by what stage name?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- I think it's Lana Del Rey. - OK.- I think.- Are you sure?
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- Well...- Are you certain enough? - I'm confident, not certain.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- She's Lana Del Rey. - Lana Del Rey is correct.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- OK. They don't let up, do they? - Nope.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Your question. The Dream,
0:25:56 > 0:26:00which depicts a naked woman reclining on a sofa in a jungle
0:26:01 > 0:26:03was the final work by which French artist?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07If you get this wrong, the contest is over.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- The first name and a surname. - Yes.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13First name and surname.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Just recall it...
0:26:15 > 0:26:19All I know is his second name is Rousseau. Is it Jacques?
0:26:19 > 0:26:23- I've heard of Jacques Rousseau. - I thought he played for Arsenal.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26He was a primitive...
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Um...
0:26:29 > 0:26:33They called him Le Douanier, Rousseau, for his first job,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36which was a customs officer.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40It's not Theodore Rousseau.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47They all sound pretty plausible to me. You read it in a book.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- Jacques.- I think we've got the surname, but...
0:26:49 > 0:26:55We've got the surname. We've got what he was called, his nickname.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00I've heard all your conversation. I'd love to give you a point for that, but
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- it has to be first name, last name. - Edward...
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- I don't know, Tony. - Theodore?- Jacques?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09You went with Jacques first.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12I don't think it was Jacques.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- I'll go for Edward. - Give me the full answer.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Edwards, in brackets, Le Douanier Rousseau.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23OK.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- Eggs? - Henri Rousseau.- Henri.
0:27:28 > 0:27:34You know what? You were going through your French names, I'm thinking, "Say Henri." You'd have got it.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Jacques, Pierre, all of them,
0:27:36 > 0:27:40and I could see you really know your stuff, Tony,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43but I'm sorry, I can't give it to you. It's Henri Rousseau.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47So we have to say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56It is a tough rule, that. We've had occasions before
0:27:56 > 0:27:58where we've felt almost cruel having it.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02It's first name and surname, it really is.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04So I'm sorry, and you came so close there.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09Thanks for coming. Absolutely brilliant to see you all. It's been a lot of fun for us, too.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, and they still reign supreme.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17It does mean you won't be going home with the £3,000.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20The money now rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, well done again.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Who will beat you? Join us next time
0:28:23 > 0:28:27to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30£4,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
