0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five Challengers
0:00:27 > 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 hoping to beat our quiz Goliaths today are the Wye's Guys.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38This team of friends and family
0:00:38 > 0:00:40all live near the River Wye
0:00:40 > 0:00:43and have been quizzing together for the best part of 20 years.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Jane, I'm 64 and I'm a health and relationships writer.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hello, I'm Brian, I'm 62 and I'm a property manager.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm Sheila, I'm 68 and I'm a semi-retired company director.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Jon, I'm 61 and I'm a children's entertainer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Viv, I'm 65 and I'm a manager of a charity.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- Jane and team, welcome. Good to see you.- Thank you.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14- So you've been quizzing for a long time.- Well, on and off. I wouldn't say that we're anoraks.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17We're more friends. But enjoy quizzing.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- Where do you quiz? - We usually quiz round and about
0:01:20 > 0:01:23or at our local, The New Harp.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25And the atmosphere there is good?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- It's pretty laidback. - There's no fighting?- Goodness, no!
0:01:28 > 0:01:32When somebody loses the quiz, there's no violence breaking out?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35As long as they take me outside, you know?!
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Everyday there's £1,000 up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47So, Wye's Guys, the Eggheads have won the last seven games,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50which means £8,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Would you like to start? Let's go for it.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts & Books.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Who would like this? - It's a tricky one.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- That's you, isn't it? - Unless we have Music...
0:02:01 > 0:02:06I think I'm going to have to offer myself as a sacrificial lamb.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Against which Egghead?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Erm...
0:02:10 > 0:02:12OK. Dave. Let's go for it.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Dave?- Yes.- All right, so Jane from Wye's Guys
0:02:14 > 0:02:19versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave, as we call him, from the Eggheads.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26You're answering questions on Books,
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- and you've written some books, Jane. Sounds ideal.- Let's hope so.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Tell us about your writing.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I've mainly written books on health and relationships.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Actually, I was on your show once, talking about one of my books.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- On Radio 2?- But I was down the line, so you didn't actually see me.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Do we remember what our conversation was about?
0:02:45 > 0:02:50- A hysterectomy.- OK! I knew I shouldn't have asked that!
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I'll ask three questions on Arts & Books in turn.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58Whoever answers the most questions correctly goes through to the final.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Good luck. Brian Sewell became the art critic
0:03:07 > 0:03:10of which newspaper in 1984?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Well, now,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Brian Sewell, a great character,
0:03:19 > 0:03:24I think, unless my memory is playing great tricks on me,
0:03:24 > 0:03:28has always worked, as long as I can remember, for The Evening Standard.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31The Evening Standard is the right answer. Well done.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Dave, here's your question.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37What is the name of the annual arts, music and performance festival
0:03:37 > 0:03:39held at London's Southbank Centre,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42which has been directed by the likes of
0:03:42 > 0:03:44David Bowie and Jarvis Cocker?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51I've never heard of it. Erm...
0:03:52 > 0:03:56I'll go for Meltdown, but I've not heard of this one at all.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- It's Meltdown. You've got it right. - Oh, right!
0:03:59 > 0:04:01OK, Jane.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Which playwright and Oscar-winning screenwriter wrote the children's play
0:04:05 > 0:04:08"The Thwarting of Baron Bolligrew"?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Ooh. Now then...
0:04:15 > 0:04:18It doesn't sound like the sort of thing Ronald Harwood would write,
0:04:18 > 0:04:20but I'm probably totally wrong and it is.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Peter Shaffer...
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Could it be him?
0:04:24 > 0:04:29But since Robert Bolt has written historical plays,
0:04:29 > 0:04:34I'm going to stick my neck on the line and say Robert Bolt.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I think you're good at quizzing. Robert Bolt is the right answer.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42A little fragment of knowledge and you got there. Well done, Jane.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44It's what the Eggheads do all the time.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Tremendous Knowledge Dave, who won the Man Booker Prize in 2005
0:04:48 > 0:04:50for his novel The Sea?
0:04:54 > 0:04:58I think, I could be very wrong, but I think it's John Banville.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01John Banville is the right answer.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04All right, Jane, your question...
0:05:04 > 0:05:08In the 1990s, who was dubbed the "Million Pound Poet"
0:05:08 > 0:05:13when he signed a reported one-million-pound deal with EMI?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Oh, crikey!
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Well, now, let's see. Let's go through it.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Modern poetry, I have to say, isn't my thing.
0:05:29 > 0:05:35I'm going to take a wild stab, without any great optimism at all,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38and say Linton Kwesi Johnson.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41It's actually Murray Lachlan Young.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46OK, Dave, if you get this one right, you've taken the round.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51For what does the letter "H" stand in the name of the American author HP Lovecraft?
0:05:54 > 0:05:59I should know this but I don't, and I'm going to go Hamilton.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- No, it's Howard.- Fair enough.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04So we go to Sudden Death, Jane.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08That means it gets a bit harder because I don't give you alternative answers.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11The works of which artist were the subject of the 2012 Royal Academy exhibition
0:06:11 > 0:06:14"A Bigger Picture",
0:06:14 > 0:06:18which included pictures created using an iPad?
0:06:18 > 0:06:23Oh, crikey... This is so not my sort of subject.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Erm...
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Damien Hirst.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36No. And I think you'll kick yourself when I tell you it's David Hockney.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39It probably is your kind of art, actually.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42OK, Dave, this for the round...
0:06:42 > 0:06:45To which American-born painter did the artist Lord Leighton say
0:06:45 > 0:06:49"You leave your pictures in such a sketchy, unfinished state.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51"Why don't you ever finish them?"
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Hm... I've never heard the quote. I'll go James Whistler.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57James Whistler is the right answer!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Dave, well done, you're in the final.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Jane, you've been knocked out by Mr Whistler.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06If you both come back, we will play the next round.
0:07:06 > 0:07:12As it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain from the Final Round. The Eggheads have not lost a brain.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15The next subject is Food & Drink. Who would like Food & Drink?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- How about Viv?- Oh, yes, I'll do it.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23OK, Viv, select an Egghead. Who looks least like the foodie?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26A bit difficult... But I think I'll go for Pat.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30OK. So Viv from Wye's Guys against Pat from the Eggheads on Food & Drink.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Please go to the Question Room now.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Good luck in this round.- Thank you.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39I'll ask you three questions on Food & Drink. Viv, first or second?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I'll go first.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47The leaves of the chard vegetable are typically which colour?
0:07:51 > 0:07:55I grow them at home and they've got a white stalk and green leaves,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58so I presume green.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02I think that's a very good answer. If you grow them in your kitchen,
0:08:02 > 0:08:03it must be right.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Green is the right answer. Well done.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Pat, what type of table service traditionally involves
0:08:10 > 0:08:14transferring food from the left to a diner's plate
0:08:14 > 0:08:16using a service dish?
0:08:22 > 0:08:28Silver service is the more familiar term of those three. Erm...
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I'm sure if you paid enough, perhaps you could be upgraded to gold,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34but I've heard of silver service so I'll go with that.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Silver service is the right answer. Well done.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38OK, one each.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Viv, what is the main ingredient of the street dish takoyaki?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Erm...
0:08:48 > 0:08:51It sounds Asian.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Erm...
0:08:53 > 0:08:57My first impression would be tuna,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00but I'm not sure. Erm...
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Eel.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05You've gone tuna, then eel. I'm afraid it's the other one.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Octopus.- Yes.- Sorry.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11OK, Mr Egghead,
0:09:11 > 0:09:15what type of food is a Cumberland Rum Nicky?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Well, there's the famous Cumberland sausage,
0:09:21 > 0:09:27but the "Rum" and "Nicky" part seems to rule that out.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29A Rum Nicky...
0:09:29 > 0:09:32It could be a cheese.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Although rum is quite a strong flavour. Hm...
0:09:36 > 0:09:41A fruit tart, I think you could definitely have rum in a fruit tart.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Various liqueurs and spirits can be added.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49I've no idea, but fruit tart seems to make more sense than the other two.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Yes, you've done well there. Fruit tart is the right answer.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- A tricky one, Viv, wasn't it? Did you know that one?- No, I didn't.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- Anyone had a Rum Nicky? - No. I fancy one, though, now!
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- It sounds good, doesn't it?- Yes.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Viv. Asian black rice,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07which is renowned for its health benefits,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09is also known by which name?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12You need to get this one right, Viv.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Erm...
0:10:18 > 0:10:22It's known for its health benefits
0:10:22 > 0:10:26so it shouldn't be forbidden, should it?
0:10:26 > 0:10:30It's one of those questions I have no idea of the answer.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Devil's rice.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Jane, I wondered whether you'd come across this.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38No, but I'd go for devil's rice.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- It's actually forbidden rice. - Oh, really?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Forbidden rice is the answer.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46There's no way back for you. Pat will be in the Final Round.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51You've been knocked out. Please, both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55The Challengers have lost two brains from the Final Round.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57The Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01This is the time, Wye's Guys, to turn it around and take an Egghead out.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02The next subject is History.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05There's only one person to do that, and that's Sheila.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10- Sheila.- I think, if it's all right with Jane,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I think I'd like to choose Chris, please.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17OK. So Chris from the Eggheads versus Sheila from the Wye's Guys on History.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22To make sure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26You've had an interesting life. You started your own business.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Quite a long time ago. So long ago, I've practically forgotten.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- What kind of thing were you doing? - I'm in recruitment.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35And you now spend a lot of time reading history books.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Well, if you live in a county like Herefordshire,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41which is predominantly a medieval county,
0:11:41 > 0:11:45you can't help but be interested because you're surrounded by it.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48OK, three questions, multiple choice.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Good luck getting through to the final and knocking out Chris!
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Would you like to go first or second?- I'd like to go first, please.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Here we go, Sheila. In British history,
0:12:00 > 0:12:05which future king married a German princess in 1795
0:12:05 > 0:12:08in return for financial assistance to pay off his debts?
0:12:12 > 0:12:17Well, I think it's a bit early for Richard and Henry. Erm...
0:12:17 > 0:12:20He didn't like her very much, did he? It was George IV.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23He locked the doors at his coronation
0:12:23 > 0:12:26so that she couldn't get in. George IV.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Brilliant. George IV. I can see you know your stuff.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32You have a point. Over to Chris...
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Where did the series of political repressions -
0:12:34 > 0:12:39known as the Great Purge - occur in the 1930s?
0:12:43 > 0:12:47That was Stalin consolidating his power in the Soviet Union.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50It was indeed Stalin in the Soviet Union. Well done.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52One each. Back to you, Sheila.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57Constantine I abdicated from the throne of which country in 1917,
0:12:57 > 0:13:01only to be reinstated as king three years later?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Well, with a name like Constantine,
0:13:07 > 0:13:11I don't think it would really fit into Mexico. It's Greece.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13It is indeed Greece.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Chris, here's your question.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20The Battle of Java Sea took place during which war?
0:13:25 > 0:13:30That was an engagement between the US Navy and Japanese Navy in WWII.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33WWII is the right answer.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37We've got two good history people here, I can tell.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Your third question, Sheila.
0:13:39 > 0:13:45In 1864, which British explorer became the first European to see Lake Albert
0:13:45 > 0:13:49on the border of the modern-day countries of Uganda
0:13:49 > 0:13:52and the Democratic Republic of Congo?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Ah...
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Well, it wasn't Flinders.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06And I had somebody else in mind as you asked the question.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11So... I think...
0:14:13 > 0:14:17..I'm going to have a stab at Thomas Cavendish.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- Let's see if Chris knows this. Is she right?- Er...
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I'd be more inclined to Samuel Baker myself.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Samuel Baker is the answer, Sheila.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32OK, your question for the round, Chris...
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Which of Queen Victoria's sons was a haemophiliac?
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Hm...
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I honestly don't know. I'm not going to pass on it.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Just let me have a think. Erm...
0:14:50 > 0:14:52One of them was rather strange
0:14:52 > 0:14:55and was suspected of being Jack the Ripper at one time.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I think that was Arthur.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01So Arthur's the answer.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- Sheila, is he right? - Well, I'm not sure.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09I know I would've said Arthur for... if he was the Duke of Connaught
0:15:09 > 0:15:11and he was thought to be Jack the Ripper.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15I don't think she had a son called Alfred, did she?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17She did have a son called Leopold. I'm not sure.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22- It's Leopold, Chris.- Is it? - Yes. Leopold was the haemophiliac.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24So we go to Sudden Death.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26He let you off the hook there, Sheila.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30You've got to give me the answer. I don't give you alternatives.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Which building in London, popularly known as "Ally Pally",
0:15:33 > 0:15:36first opened in 1873?
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Alexandra Palace.- Well done, you. Alexandra Palace is correct.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Chris, which of Henry VIII's wives
0:15:43 > 0:15:46was born near Dusseldorf?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Near Dusseldorf? Well, that's Germany.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Just down the road from Dusseldorf is Kleve, so it was Anne of Cleves.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Anne of Cleves is the right answer. Well done.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Sudden Death - History.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01This is a good round.
0:16:01 > 0:16:07In 1915, which American industrialist chartered a ship called the Oscar II
0:16:07 > 0:16:11to sail people to a peace conference in Europe
0:16:11 > 0:16:16in an attempt to halt World War I?
0:16:17 > 0:16:21So presumably, he had no interest in armaments.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Erm...
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I don't know.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Industrialist... I should...
0:16:30 > 0:16:33I can't even think of an industrialist from that period.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38I'm going to say Henry Ford.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- EGGHEADS LAUGH - Eggheads, why are you laughing?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- It's correct. - You got it right, Sheila.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Henry Ford it is!
0:16:45 > 0:16:47OK, Chris,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49this to stay in...
0:16:49 > 0:16:53John Quincy Adams and which other American president
0:16:53 > 0:16:57were born in 1767?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00John Quincy Adams... 1767...
0:17:00 > 0:17:05It's got to be one of the early 19th-century ones.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Er...
0:17:10 > 0:17:12James K Polk.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17No, it wasn't James K Polk. It was Andrew Jackson.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Sheila, you're in the Final Round. Well done.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22You've knocked Chris out on Sudden Death.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Both of you, please come back and rejoin your teammates here.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Is the tide starting to turn for the Wye's Guys?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31The Challengers have lost two brains.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34The Eggheads have lost Chris.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37The final round before the Final Round is Sport.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39So, who wants this?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- I can't think who!- Hard luck, Jon.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- We're all looking at you, Jon. - Short-straw time.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Jon. OK. Against which Egghead? It's got to be Daphne or Barry.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Daphne?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- She's pretty good. - Daphne's good at everything.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- She's smiling.- She always does that!
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- I will take Daphne into the booth. - OK!
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Jon from Wye's Guys versus Daphne from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Please go to the Question Room now.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Jon, good luck in Sport.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- You work as a children's entertainer.- It is true.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- You've done it for a long time. - Yes. Don't remind me.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Under which name?- Wizard Wonky.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- That's the hardest job there is, I reckon!- People think so.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27I was a maths teacher, so I've turned the corner as an entertainer.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Do you not get exasperated and think, "This is madness"?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I think so, but somehow children like me and I quite like children,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36so for me, it's an easy job.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39We've got something in common. I think being with the Eggheads
0:18:39 > 0:18:42is like controlling a class of small children.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- I've seen it.- You've noticed that, have you?- Absolutely!
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Good luck. Three questions on Sport.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50You can choose the first or second set, Jon.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53I will choose the first set, please.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Here we go. In middle-distance running,
0:18:57 > 0:19:01what name is given to a runner who leads the first section of a race
0:19:01 > 0:19:04to ensure a fast time?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Gosh!
0:19:10 > 0:19:14I think the tension's going to mean I'll need a pacemaker soon,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16so I'll go for pacemaker.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Pacemaker is the right answer. Well done.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21It's easy to stare at those three and get confused.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Daphne, in which sport might a competitor
0:19:24 > 0:19:28be most likely to attempt a masse shot?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I think...
0:19:34 > 0:19:36I think it's snooker.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- When did you last play snooker? - I don't play!
0:19:39 > 0:19:42But I seem to recall it in connection with billiards,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44so snooker's close.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Snooker is the right answer. What is a masse shot?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51You hold the cue vertically and apply an enormous amount of spin on the ball
0:19:51 > 0:19:54to make it go in a semi-circle.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56It's an extreme form of side spin.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59There we are. Have you had a wasted youth, Pat?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Some of it, yes.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Jon, in 2012, who became the first footballer
0:20:03 > 0:20:08to score five goals in a single Champions League match?
0:20:13 > 0:20:17We don't talk about Ronaldo because he left us.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Wayne Rooney should've done. LAUGHTER
0:20:19 > 0:20:23I have to admit and bow to Lionel Messi.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- That's my answer.- Yes.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Lionel Messi's the right answer. Well done.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32Daphne, which golf caddy did Tiger Woods hire
0:20:32 > 0:20:35to replace Steve Williams in September 2011?
0:20:41 > 0:20:45It was Joe LaCava.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Joe LaCava is the right answer. Back to you, Jon.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Which horse became the longest-priced winner in the history of the Cheltenham Gold Cup
0:20:52 > 0:20:58when he won in 1990 with betting odds of 100-1?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I can't stand gambling, being a mathematician,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10and Brian knows all about racing,
0:21:10 > 0:21:15so can I just go into wizard mode with a bit of telepathy here?
0:21:16 > 0:21:21No, that's not working. I've not heard of any of those.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25How could I possibly choose? I'm going to have to gamble.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29See More Business.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32I'd like to do that. LAUGHTER
0:21:32 > 0:21:35See More Business is your answer. Let's see if Brian knows.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Norton's Coin. - Norton's Coin. He was telepathing,
0:21:37 > 0:21:40trying to get his brainwaves to register with yours!
0:21:40 > 0:21:44There must be something about these concrete corridors - they didn't pass down them.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Let's do that one again. LAUGHTER
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Norton's Coin is the right answer. You've got two out of three.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Let's see if Daphne takes the round.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59Daphne, in 2008, the cricketer Angelo Mathews
0:21:59 > 0:22:02made his international debut for which team?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Sri Lanka.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Is she right, Eggies?- ALL: Yes.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14You're right, Daphne! Well done. You looked so uncertain.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16I didn't know!
0:22:16 > 0:22:20I don't know how you do it. Jon, she does this all the time.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24There's a fragment of knowledge in the massive cortex that is Daphne's brain
0:22:24 > 0:22:26and she just plucks it out.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30You've been knocked out, I'm afraid, and Daphne is in the final.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33If you both come back to us, we will play that Final Round.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37This is what we have been playing towards, the Final Round,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Those who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Jane, Jon and Viv from Wye's Guys,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49and also Chris from the Eggheads,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Brian and Sheila, you're playing to win Wye's Guys £8,000.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Pat, Barry, Daphne and Dave,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01you're playing for something that money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08The questions are general knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Brian and Sheila, the question is, are you able, with your two brains,
0:23:12 > 0:23:16to demolish these Eggheads with their four brains?
0:23:16 > 0:23:20- Mm-hm.- Oh, I'm sure! - Of course we are!- We shall see.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- Do you want to go first or second? - First, please.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Good luck. In which board game might a player receive
0:23:30 > 0:23:32a get-out-of-jail-free card?
0:23:35 > 0:23:40- I think we're pretty sure it's Monopoly.- We are, yes.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- Monopoly. - Monopoly is the right answer.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Eggheads, in 1947, the Somerset Maugham Award
0:23:48 > 0:23:51was awarded for the first time in which field?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:23:57 > 0:24:00It would be very interesting if it was awarded in sport or physics
0:24:00 > 0:24:02but it must be literature.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Literature is the correct answer.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11Back to you. In the 1990s, Wye's Guys, which politician said,
0:24:11 > 0:24:16"It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is"?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- I think it was Bill Clinton.- Yes.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- I think he had a bit of trouble defining things, didn't he?- He did.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30So, er, we think that was Bill Clinton.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Very good. It's the right answer.
0:24:33 > 0:24:39In 2011, who sold 150,000 copies of her DVD Chatterbox,
0:24:39 > 0:24:44a record for a solo female stand-up comedienne?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- I would go Sarah Millican. - I think it was Sarah Millican.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52If we just talk through it,
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Jo Brand and Victoria Wood
0:24:54 > 0:24:58are not as big stand-ups at the moment.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Jo Brand still does stand-up so...
0:25:01 > 0:25:06I remember reading that Sarah Millican earned over £1 million in the last year.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- I would go Sarah Millican.- Yes.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11OK, we're all agreed.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15We believe the answer is that wonderful comedienne Sarah Millican.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20- Sarah Millican is the right answer. She is absolutely brilliant. - Stunning.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22You got it right.
0:25:22 > 0:25:28OK, third question to you. Who directed the final four films in the Harry Potter series?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Have you got any idea at all?
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Well, "no" is the answer to that question,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43but...
0:25:45 > 0:25:50- Films... Do you know? - I recognise the names.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52I've seen him interviewed recently
0:25:52 > 0:25:54and I can't remember what he's called.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Erm...
0:25:56 > 0:26:01I'm thinking either John Madden or David Yates.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03But I've...
0:26:05 > 0:26:08BRIAN STAMMERS
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- It's going to have to be a guess, isn't it?- It is, yes.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- What do you think? - I've got nothing to go on.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Right. I keep looking at John Madden.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23But I honestly, I...
0:26:23 > 0:26:26It's a guess.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I don't know.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- But I do recognise those two names. - All right. Er...
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- There's four people over there who know the answer.- They will know!
0:26:36 > 0:26:41- All right.- It might be Mike Newell. - It could be.- You choose.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Because it's not even an educated guess, Brian.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I'll try a bit of telepathy. Er...
0:26:50 > 0:26:51We'll try John Madden.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55I was wondering where you were going to go. Eggheads?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- It might be David Yates. - You're not sure?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- I'd go David Yates.- I think it is. - David Yates is the answer.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05- So you narrowed it down right and then just missed it.- Yes.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10Two out of three. Let's see if the Eggheads end the contest now.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13If you get this one right, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Which economist published the highly influential book
0:27:16 > 0:27:21"The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money" in 1936?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- It's Keynes.- Keynes.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30I believe Galbraith published "The Affluent Society"
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Hayek was "The Road to Serfdom"
0:27:33 > 0:27:37but "The General Theory" was Keynes.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Keynes is your answer?- Mm-hm.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Do you think they're right?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- I think they're guessing! - It's a bluff!
0:27:44 > 0:27:47They're always guessing!
0:27:48 > 0:27:51You've got three out of three. Keynes is the right answer.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Congratulations. You have won.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Well done.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01So the Harry Potter was the...
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- But then, you could watch them and not know.- I've never watched them. - I have.
0:28:05 > 0:28:11But I wouldn't know any director of any film unless it were David Lean.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Thank you very much for coming in.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20We're starting to build up to the bigger numbers now.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23It does mean you won't be going home with the £8,000,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26which also means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Eggheads, very well done. Who will beat you?
0:28:29 > 0:28:34Join us next time to see if a new team have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38£9,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
