0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:16Together 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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:32against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Challenging the awesome might of our quiz champions
0:00:36 > 0:00:39are Lounging Around. This team of friends
0:00:39 > 0:00:43are regular quizzers in Bristol. Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48Hi, my name's Mat, I'm 32 and I'm an education project manager.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Iain, I'm 30 and I'm a business development manager.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, my name's George, I'm 28 and I'm a PhD student.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Paul, I'm 30 and I'm an actuary.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Daniel, I'm 31 and an accountant.
0:01:02 > 0:01:08Mat and team, great to see you. So you are actual young quizzers? You love to quiz.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Well, yes, pub quiz, absolutely.
0:01:11 > 0:01:18- Nothing too serious. - You're all very brainy. Accountants, actuaries, PhD students...
0:01:18 > 0:01:24- You're the next generation. - Well, let's say that. We'd like to think so.- Try to frighten them now.
0:01:24 > 0:01:31- We ARE the next generation. - And what do you find you need to be good quizzers?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34To retain a lot of stuff? Practise a lot?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Good instincts, I guess. Confidence to go with your gut.
0:01:38 > 0:01:46- You play in one pub or lots?- There's a few of those pubs in Bristol, so generally one.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Well, good luck in this contest.
0:01:48 > 0:01:55Every day there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers, but if they fail, it rolls over.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58The Eggheads have won the last six games
0:01:58 > 0:02:04- so £7,000 says you can't beat them today. Would you like to try? - Absolutely.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Good luck. The first Head to Head is Film and TV.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Who would like this?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Between Dan and Iain?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Dan or Iain?- Fancy it, Dan?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Dan'll take it? Sounds good.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23- Dan on the end?- Yeah, Daniel. - Against which Egghead?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Chris, I think.- Chris?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29OK, we're going to take Chris.
0:02:29 > 0:02:36- OK, so Daniel from Lounging Around against Chris. What have you been watching lately?- Not a whole lot.
0:02:36 > 0:02:42- Just putting on whatever's on? - Yeah, yeah.- OK. Sounds promising.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Could be. - Slightly worrying as well!
0:02:46 > 0:02:50To ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:50 > 0:02:58- You took part in a quiz marathon? - Marathon might be an exaggeration. It was five days, five evenings,
0:02:58 > 0:03:04from a Sunday to a Thursday. It was pretty exhausting going to work on Monday to Thursday
0:03:04 > 0:03:10and each evening doing another marathon. I was pretty exhausted at the end.
0:03:10 > 0:03:16- So you went through the night quizzing?- No, not quite that far. A few hours each evening.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21We had quite a good win ratio. We got 60% for the week.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26- And you do that for how many days? - Five. We wanted to do longer,
0:03:26 > 0:03:30but on Friday night in a pub it's hard to find a quiz.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions on Film and TV.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Daniel, the first or second set? - First, please.
0:03:41 > 0:03:47Here we go. Good luck. In 2001, Hugh Quarshie joined the cast of which TV drama
0:03:47 > 0:03:52playing a doctor called Rick Griffin? It's Q-U-A-R-S-H-I-E.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59I haven't heard of the name.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06I might just play the odds and say EastEnders hasn't many doctors, so I won't go for that.
0:04:06 > 0:04:12Waking The Dead, I haven't seen much of. Holby City feels like the best guess for me.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14I'll guess and go for Holby City.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Very good. It is Holby City.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Chris, your question.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24In 2003, Susie Dent became a regular fixture on which game show?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Susie Dent's in Dictionary Corner on Countdown.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Do I sense any small resentment?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38No, no, Susie's all right.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42We're not going down that road again, Jeremy. Countdown, end of.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Countdown is the right answer.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Daniel,
0:04:47 > 0:04:54Angelina Jolie was nominated for the Academy Award for Leading Actress for her role in which 2008 film?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00My first thought was Changeling.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Wanted doesn't seem like an Oscar-nominated kind of film to me.
0:05:04 > 0:05:10Alexander, I think, was another action one, so I'll say Changeling.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Changeling is the right answer. Doing well, Daniel.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15OK, Chris,
0:05:15 > 0:05:22in the 2010 crime drama film London Boulevard, who played a gangster called Mitchell?
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Well, Daniel Craig's got away from James Bond of late, hasn't he?
0:05:30 > 0:05:36I think he's been in a fairly hard-boiled gangster film lately, so Daniel Craig.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Do you know this one, Daniel?
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- No, I don't.- Colin Farrell it is. You've fallen behind, Chris.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Daniel, get this to take the round.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Then you will be in the final.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52In the 1960 film The League of Gentlemen,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55which crime does the League intend to commit?
0:06:01 > 0:06:06Now kidnap a millionaire doesn't sound ambitious enough.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Neither does rob a bank, so I'll go for steal a painting.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14A guess. Steal a painting.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17OK, the actual answer is rob a bank.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Oh.- What was this? An Ealing comedy?
0:06:20 > 0:06:24No, it's about a group of ex-Army guys, mostly ex-officers,
0:06:24 > 0:06:28who feel they've been short-changed by what's happened in their careers,
0:06:28 > 0:06:33all played by quite well-known actors at the time.
0:06:33 > 0:06:39- It was one of these ensemble pieces, a bit like Ocean's 11.- Good film? - Yes, not bad at all.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Rob a bank. Sorry, Daniel. A chance for Chris to catch up.
0:06:43 > 0:06:50Which leading actor appeared in the 1960 film Butterfield 8 and 1962's The Manchurian Candidate?
0:06:54 > 0:07:01Butterfield 8 was Elizabeth Taylor as a high-class lady of easy virtue.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I don't see Alan Bates in that.
0:07:03 > 0:07:09And I don't think Laurence Harvey was in The Manchurian Candidate, so Montgomery Clift.
0:07:09 > 0:07:16How strange. I watched The Manchurian Candidate a few weeks ago and there was Laurence Harvey.
0:07:16 > 0:07:22He is the answer. Well done, Daniel. You've taken out an Egghead.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26That's a good start. You'll be in the final round and Chris won't.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Please both come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35The challengers have not lost a brain. The Eggheads have lost one.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38We go to Sport. Who's the sporty person?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Iain for this one.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Iain on Sport. Against which Egghead?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- I think we'll go Kevin? - Yeah.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52Not Daphne, we feel, so I think we're going to go for Kevin.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57So Iain versus Kevin on Sport. You don't do Sport that often.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01It varies, but this is the second one I've done recently.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- But there was a long gap before that.- Let's see how you go.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:08:10 > 0:08:16Good luck. Three questions on Sport. Whoever answers the most goes through to the final.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- Iain, the first or second set? - I'd like to go first, please.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28A golfer who aces a hole completes it in how many shots?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35OK, I do quite like playing a little bit of golf.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Unfortunately, I've never had an ace myself.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43But I do know that that is a hole in one, so the answer's one.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47One is quite right.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Good start.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53The tennis player Vera Zvonareva was born in which city, Kevin?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Vera Zvonareva.
0:08:57 > 0:09:03- Which is Z-V-O-N-A-R-E-V-A. Yes. - That's brilliant.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I can't give you a point for that.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- Well spelt. - Well, she is Russian, so Moscow.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Moscow is the right answer. Zvonareva. Great name.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Iain, which Pakistani bowler had the nickname the Sultan of Swing?
0:09:24 > 0:09:29OK, well, I think being from Lancashire I should probably know this.
0:09:29 > 0:09:36I've got an inclination. I know Wasim Akram used to move the ball a massive amount in the air,
0:09:36 > 0:09:40so... I'm just looking at the others.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I think Mushtaq Ahmed is a spinner, not sure about Qadir.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I'll go for Wasim Akram.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Wasim Akram is the right answer. Very nicely done. Kevin,
0:09:50 > 0:09:57the Stadio Luigi Ferraris is a football stadium in which Italian city?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02It's not Venice.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07My first thought before the choices came up was Genoa,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09but I'm just having a...
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Just having a think.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- Yes, Genoa. - You sure?- Yeah.- You're right.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Genoa it is. I don't know how he does that,
0:10:19 > 0:10:24but he does. OK, Iain, as well as winning 22 caps for England at rugby union,
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Paul Ackford was an inspector with which organisation?
0:10:33 > 0:10:40With him being a rugby player and often size is a big factor in rugby,
0:10:40 > 0:10:44I'm probably going to have to go with the Metropolitan Police.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Let me follow your logic here.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49He's a rugby player so he's big?
0:10:49 > 0:10:54- Yeah.- So he's a policeman. - Yeah, that was my logic, yeah.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58You're right. Three out of three.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I would not have... That's great.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05That's a quizzer. OK, Kevin, can you stay in the contest?
0:11:05 > 0:11:10What did Sebastian Vettel nickname his car for the 2011 Formula 1 season?
0:11:15 > 0:11:20No, that's something that's passed me by, I'm afraid.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24I don't like Kooky Kelly, I've decided.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27So I'm assuming there's some reference
0:11:27 > 0:11:32to the shape of the bodywork in here.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Curvy Katy...Kinky Kylie.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Kinky Kylie.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42It's the right answer. So it's three all. A tight, tight round.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44We go to sudden death.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I do not give alternative answers.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52- Ready to roll?- Yep. - In 2012, which horseracing trainer
0:11:52 > 0:12:00broke Fulke Walwyn's career record of 40 wins at the Cheltenham Festival Meeting?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Right, OK. Got to think about racing trainers.
0:12:07 > 0:12:14No, I'm going to say... I don't think it's right, I think it's actually a jockey. Kieren Fallon.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- No, it's Nicky Henderson.- OK.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Kevin has a chance to take it.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24- Did you know that one?- Yeah, I did know it.- Here's your question.
0:12:24 > 0:12:32Which Czech tennis player won the Ladies' Singles title at the Australian Open in 1980 and 1987,
0:12:32 > 0:12:34the French Open in 1981
0:12:34 > 0:12:38and the US Open in 1985?
0:12:38 > 0:12:42OK, I think for that I'm going to try Hana Mandlikova.
0:12:42 > 0:12:49- You like that, Dave?- I do. - Hana Mandlikova is the right answer, Kevin. Well done.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Tough round. Iain, well played.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55I'm sorry you've been knocked out. Kevin will be in the final.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Both please rejoin your teams and we'll play on.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04So the challengers have lost one brain and the Eggheads have also.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06The next subject is Arts and Books.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Is that good?- Em...no.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14Not really? Who would you like to send onto the battlefield?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16George will be delighted.
0:13:16 > 0:13:22He bravely, before the show, said, "If art comes up, I'll take it."
0:13:22 > 0:13:29It's tricky because it ranges very widely. George, OK. Against anyone but Kevin or Chris.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Have a go at Dave.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Yeah, give it a try.
0:13:34 > 0:13:41- We're going to go with Dave. - Gradually the name "Dave" becomes louder and louder.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46OK, it's George against Tremendous Knowledge Dave, our newest Egghead.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Good luck on Arts and Books. Off you go to the Question Room.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55Three questions on Arts and Books. George, first or second?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57First, please.
0:14:00 > 0:14:07Here we go. The Impressionist artist Alfred Sisley is particularly known for his work in which medium?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I know of Impressionism in painting.
0:14:12 > 0:14:17I've not really heard of it in sculpture or photography.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Because of Impressionism, I'll go with painting.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Absolutely right. It wasn't a trick question.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32It would have been a nasty trick to say he was an Impressionist
0:14:32 > 0:14:39and then he did sculpture. Dave, the 1985 work Last Letters From Hav by Jan Morris
0:14:39 > 0:14:41was nominated for which major prize?
0:14:46 > 0:14:51Well, Stirling Prize is in architecture, Turner Prize in art.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55I presume it's the Booker Prize, but I've not heard of it.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Booker Prize is the right answer.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Over to you.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02The Crow Road by Iain Banks
0:15:02 > 0:15:07starts with the line, "It was the day my grandmother..." what?
0:15:11 > 0:15:16"Exploded" sounds a little bit unbelievable, but perhaps.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19"Revolted"...
0:15:20 > 0:15:26It doesn't quite sound right. Grandmothers are more likely to collapse, so go with that.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31- Collapsed.- Collapsed is your answer. I heard Daphne whisper it here.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36- Exploded.- "It was the day my grandmother exploded."
0:15:36 > 0:15:39That is quite a famous line.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43I've heard people refer to it as a great opening line.
0:15:43 > 0:15:49Dave, the early-19th century woodblock print entitled The Great Wave Off Kanagawa
0:15:49 > 0:15:51is by which artist?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02I don't know.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- I'll go Suh Yongsun.- Nope.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- It is Katsushika Hokusai. - Mmm.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11So Hokusai is the answer.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14You're equal on one point.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19George, the Sandham Memorial Chapel in Burghclere, Hampshire,
0:16:19 > 0:16:25was built to house a series of large-scale WWI murals by which artist?
0:16:31 > 0:16:36Another one I don't really know the answer to. For some reason,
0:16:36 > 0:16:42Eric Gill and Stanley Spencer are looking more likely, but I don't know why.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48I think I'm going to go with Stanley Spencer.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53Stanley Spencer is right! Nice play! Nice play.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55OK, Dave.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Get this wrong and you're out.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03Bram Stoker, the author of the 1897 horror novel Dracula,
0:17:03 > 0:17:08was born in which Irish city in 1847?
0:17:11 > 0:17:16I've got no real reason to go against Dublin, so that's my answer.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Dublin is the right answer. Well done.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21George, we go to sudden death.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24I don't give you alternatives, OK?
0:17:24 > 0:17:31In 2011 it was announced that London's Comedy Theatre would be renamed to honour which playwright?
0:17:31 > 0:17:37The only playwright that's coming to my mind and I don't even know if he writes comedies is Harold Pinter.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- Is that your answer?- Yeah. - It's right.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45OK, Dave.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- Get this wrong and you're not in the final round.- Yep.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54Which pop artist designed the Brit Awards statuettes for 2012?
0:17:56 > 0:18:00All I can go with is Damien Hirst, but I don't think it's right.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02That's wrong. It's Peter Blake.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04George, well done.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09Do both of you please come back here and rejoin your teams.
0:18:09 > 0:18:16So the challengers have lost one brain, the Eggheads have lost two. You're doing well, guys.
0:18:16 > 0:18:23This is a proper quizzing team here. Let's see if you can crack the shell of the Eggheads fatally.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26The last subject is Politics.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Is that good for you or not?
0:18:28 > 0:18:33- It's worked out OK.- Paul or Mat. - I think the captain.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38- It's going to be me.- OK. Now which Egghead - Daphne or Barry?
0:18:38 > 0:18:44- He's looking more confident. - Daphne looked utterly exasperated in the last round.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48She's dying to get a chance, so...Barry.
0:18:48 > 0:18:54So Matt from Lounging Around against Barry, who's been very quiet on the end, suspiciously so.
0:18:54 > 0:19:00He's like a coiled spring. When he goes into action, you wouldn't believe the energy.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:19:05 > 0:19:11I'll ask each of you three questions on Politics. Mat, would you like to go first or second?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Em...I'll go first, please.
0:19:18 > 0:19:26Good luck. Here we go. The Burmese politician Aung San Suu Kyi won which Nobel Prize in 1991?
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Er, well, I'm pleased to see that the Peace Prize has come up.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36That was my first instinct.
0:19:36 > 0:19:44I don't think she's renowned as an economist. She may well have written, but I wasn't aware of it,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47so I'll go with Peace.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Peace is the right answer. Well done.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Amazing to see her take a seat
0:19:52 > 0:19:55in the Burmese Parliament as an MP.
0:19:55 > 0:20:02Barry, Rick Santorum was a candidate for which US party's 2012 presidential nomination?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Rick Santorum was a candidate for the Republican Party.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Republican is the right answer.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13OK, back to you, Mat.
0:20:13 > 0:20:21Which future British Prime Minister was born at Windlestone Hall, County Durham, in 1897?
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Er, OK. So Anthony Eden, he was the Suez Crisis, wasn't he?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34So he was the '50s or '60s.
0:20:34 > 0:20:41Alec Douglas-Home and Stanley Baldwin, I can't think now...when...
0:20:41 > 0:20:45they were around.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51I guess the politicians of the day tended to be a little bit older.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Just on the fact that I think he'd have been in his 50s or 60s,
0:20:55 > 0:20:59I'm going to go with Anthony Eden. That's a bit of a punt.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03The logic is good and the answer is correct. Anthony Eden it was.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Two out of two. All right, Barry,
0:21:05 > 0:21:12the 6th century BC political figure called Solon is described as laying the foundations of democracy
0:21:12 > 0:21:15in which Greek city state?
0:21:18 > 0:21:23Well, the person who laid the Spartan constitution was Lycurgus.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28I'm not sure who did Thebes, but Solon is associated with Athens.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Athens is right, Barry.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32OK, back to you, Mat.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Who became US Defense Secretary in July, 2011?
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Er...I have a feeling Geithner is his Chief of Staff.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Em...Leon Panetta,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50the name isn't ringing a bell.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53I'm going to go with Rahm Emanuel.
0:21:53 > 0:21:59No, actually. I thought you were going to head to the right answer. He's Mayor of Chicago now.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04I don't know what he did in the White House, but it wasn't Defense Secretary.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- He was Chief of Staff.- OK.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09The answer is Leon Panetta.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Barry, it gives you a line of sight.
0:22:12 > 0:22:19In 1969, who succeeded Charles de Gaulle as President of France?
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Raymond Barre and Rene Coty both preceded Charles de Gaulle,
0:22:28 > 0:22:33- so the person who succeeded him was Georges Pompidou.- Correct.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Three out of three and you are in the final round.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41- Sorry, Mat, but your team's done well so far.- They have.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45If you come back to us we will play the final round.
0:22:45 > 0:22:51This is what we have been playing towards. Time for the final round on general knowledge,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53but those of you who lost
0:22:53 > 0:22:58won't be allowed to take part, so Mat and Iain from Lounging Around
0:22:58 > 0:23:02and Chris and Dave, would you now please leave the studio?
0:23:04 > 0:23:10So George, Paul and Daniel, you are playing to win Lounging Around £7,000.
0:23:10 > 0:23:16Barry, Daphne and Kevin, you are playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:16 > 0:23:23I will ask each team three questions on general knowledge and you can confer.
0:23:23 > 0:23:29So George, Paul and...I want to say Ringo. George, Paul and Daniel, the question is
0:23:29 > 0:23:33are your three brains able to take apart the Eggheads' three?
0:23:33 > 0:23:38- Do you want to go first or second? - Stick with going first?- Yeah.- First.
0:23:41 > 0:23:47Good luck. £7,000 in play. What word of German origin is used by scientists for a tune
0:23:47 > 0:23:49that gets stuck in your head?
0:23:54 > 0:23:59- Earworm, I think.- Earworm, yeah. - It's not something I've heard.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04- George, did you think that? - I was thinking it beforehand.- OK.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Sounds good to me. We'll go with earworm.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Earworm is the right answer. OK, Eggheads.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15What is the French word for cake?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- I think it might be gateaux.- Yes.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24I think that might be gateaux.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28If you'd got that wrong, it would have a million hits on YouTube.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Gateaux is the right answer.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33They may get more difficult,
0:24:33 > 0:24:38these questions. What type of bird is a redwing?
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- Who's good on their bird knowledge? - Mat, unfortunately!
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Any thoughts? Any feelings?
0:24:49 > 0:24:56Detroit Redwings are the ice hockey team, but I'm not sure what type of bird that is.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Harrier - is that a bird of prey?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Of the three, I'd think harrier.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06I sort of thought of thrush, but I have no basis for that.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09It was just, you know, a feeling.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Your feeling or mine?- No idea.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18- If it's an ice hockey team, maybe harrier.- That's what I think.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21A bit more of a bird of prey type.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26- That sounds more plausible. - Go with that? Go with harrier.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30It's thrush, I'm afraid.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Feel free to hold it against harriers for a long time.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36But it's not over yet.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40In historical costume, what was a peruke?
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Wig.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- That's a wig. - Right answer. You're now ahead.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50That does mean, challengers,
0:25:50 > 0:25:54you need to get this one right or it is curtains.
0:25:55 > 0:26:01The headquarters of the Special Boat Service or SBS are near which town?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- SAS is Hereford.- Yes.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Poole's on the south coast.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Where's Barmouth? Wales, isn't it?
0:26:12 > 0:26:16I'm not sure. Rosyth's Scotland. I don't know.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21I don't think it's Barmouth. That's a small seaside town.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26- I think the Royal Marines are based there.- I don't know.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31I think so. At Rosyth, they make a lot of boats. It's a red herring.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36- Shall we go Poole? - I'm happy with that.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I'm happy with it. I don't know.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- Poole sounds reasonable. - We'll go with Poole.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Poole is correct. - We're still in it!
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Exactly! You really are.
0:26:48 > 0:26:54OK, Eggheads, get this to take it or we go to sudden death. £7,000 we're playing for.
0:26:54 > 0:27:01King Leopold III of Belgium spent the first five years after the end of World War Two
0:27:01 > 0:27:04living in exile in which country?
0:27:07 > 0:27:12- I think we can discount Saudi Arabia.- It seems very unlikely.
0:27:12 > 0:27:18- So...- South Africa is quite close to Belgian Congo.- Yeah.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21You could make a case for that.
0:27:21 > 0:27:26- Switzerland was neutral. - And it's closer to Belgium.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30It seems the percentage one, the most obvious one.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32OK, Jeremy.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36As you can tell, we're not sure.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38We haven't come across it,
0:27:38 > 0:27:42but we are going to go for Switzerland.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46If you're right, the contest is over and they fought hard, this team.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49It may not be over yet.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52It's not Saudi Arabia. Quite right.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54It's not South Africa. Switzerland.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Congratulations, you have won.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04That was a real slugging match.
0:28:04 > 0:28:10- You really punched your weight. - It was close. We... - We put up a good fight.
0:28:10 > 0:28:17And to get three in the final. You were set to take it, but they're still tough.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- Definitely! - They are. And so we say thank you.
0:28:20 > 0:28:26The Eggheads have won. It does come naturally to them. Their winning streak continues.
0:28:26 > 0:28:31You won't be going home with the £7,000, so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:31 > 0:28:37Eggheads, congratulations. Back on track with a bang. Who will beat you, I wonder?
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers can defeat them.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45£8,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
