0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz 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 > 0:00:34And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths
0:00:34 > 0:00:38today are the Mount Olympians from Liverpool.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41This friends and family team are all connected through the world
0:00:41 > 0:00:45of teaching and take their name from St Mary's The Mount school
0:00:45 > 0:00:47where three of them work. Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Ged, I'm 55 and I'm a primary school teacher.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Mike, I'm 26 and I'm a maths teacher.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm John, I'm 59 and I'm a primary school teacher.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Peter, I'm 54 and I'm a maths teacher.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Michael, I'm 54 and I'm a primary school teacher.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- So, Ged and team, welcome. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Great to see you, so all teachers?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Indeed.- Indeed.- And that means you are knowledgeable, I'm thinking?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15That means you are probably...
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- In theory.- ..quizzers, I'm thinking,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19but you haven't quizzed together, have you?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23We haven't quizzed together, no. John runs quizzes.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25I do, I'm a sort of amateur quizmaster.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Right, and have you watched these guys in action, John, as well?
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Frequently, yes, frequently.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Quite impressive, aren't they? But they can also fall apart at times.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- Pretty good.- So good luck. - Thanks very much.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39And every day, as you know, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:39 > 0:01:41up for grabs for our Challengers, however if they fail
0:01:41 > 0:01:45to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48So, Mount Olympians, I can tell you the Eggheads have won
0:01:48 > 0:01:53the last 13 games, which means £14,000 is in play today.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Would you like to have a go at beating them?- ALL: Yes.- Yeah?
0:01:56 > 0:01:57- I think so.- Bring it on.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00First head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Geography,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02so who would like Geography?
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- John?- That's fine.- Do we want to save you? Who's going to go?
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- I'll go.- You can go.- Ged, OK. And choose an Egghead.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- You can have any one of them there. - Er, I'll go for Dave.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Tremendous Knowledge Dave. - Tremendous Knowledge Dave, in fact, yes.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22All right, so Ged from the Mount Olympians versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads
0:02:22 > 0:02:24and just to make sure there's no conferring,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26please take your positions in our Question Room.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions on Geography in turn.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- And Ged, you can choose the first or second set.- First, please.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43The adjective fluvial relates to which geographical feature?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Hmm. Fluvial?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54"Fluv" sounds like it's flowing, so I'll go for river.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57River is the right answer, Ged, well done.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59APPLAUSE
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Dave, Oswestry, Whitchurch
0:03:01 > 0:03:04and Market Drayton are towns in which English county?
0:03:06 > 0:03:11- They're in Shropshire.- Shropshire is the right answer. Straight there.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12OK, one each, back to you, Ged.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17In South Africa, what is locally referred to as the Cape Doctor?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26The Cape Doctor. Now, I know in Australia, I think they have
0:03:26 > 0:03:31I wind that they call the Doctor, somewhere near Perth or Fremantle.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Doctor. So I'll go for wind.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Wind is correct.- Oh.- Hurrah!
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Dave, the Haines Index is used to measure the potential spread of what?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48The Haines Index, H-A-I-N-E-S.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55Erm, I've not heard of it, so I'll go hurricanes.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Hurricanes is wrong, it's wild fires.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02So, if you get this one right, Ged,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05you are through to the final in pretty quick order.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10The Dazu Rock Carvings is a World Heritage Site in which country?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Dazu is D-A-Z-U.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I've not heard of it.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Rock carvings? D-A-Z-U.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I think the letter Z
0:04:26 > 0:04:31I could associate with each of those choices. Dazu.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35It's going to be a guess, erm, China...
0:04:35 > 0:04:39only because it's a lot bigger than the other countries.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41You're in the final round, China is correct. Well done, Ged.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- APPLAUSE - Three out of three.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Tremendous Knowledge Dave,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47you've been knocked out, I'm afraid, and you will not be in the final round.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Good news for the Challengers.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Please both of you come back and rejoin us here.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Good start, Ged.- Yes, it was. - LAUGHTER
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Let's see how we go.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00As it stands, the Challengers have lost no brains from the final round,
0:05:00 > 0:05:01the Eggheads have lost a brain.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03And the next subject for you is Music,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05so who would like this?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- Do you want me to send him in? - Yep.- Mike?- Is that OK, Jeremy?
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- I think it's me.- Against which Egghead, anyone but Dave?
0:05:13 > 0:05:18- Any preferences?- Kevin, eh?- Kevin. - Kevin. Take on the big man - Kevin.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Yeah, he's struggled a bit on music, actually,
0:05:20 > 0:05:21it's probably a good choice.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25So, Mike from Mount Olympians versus Kevin from the Eggheads and just
0:05:25 > 0:05:28to make sure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32So, Mike, I'm sensing this is a really good quizzing team,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35but you don't quiz together, you quiz separately?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37No, I've quizzed a few times with Ged,
0:05:37 > 0:05:41me dad, in a team a couple of times, but not with the rest of them.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43So the first time you all are in a team together
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- you're facing the Eggheads? - Yes, why not? Take on the best.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Well, indeed, and you're winning so far,
0:05:48 > 0:05:49so let's see how you do in Music.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Three questions, multiple-choice,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54and you can choose the first or the second set.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55I'll go first, please.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58OK, Mike, here we go.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Good luck.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02The singer Julio Iglesias,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05born in 1943, is what relation to the singer Enrique Iglesias?
0:06:10 > 0:06:16He's... I think he's his uncle. Yeah, uncle.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Do you know, Kevin?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- I thought it was his father. - He is his father.- Oh, right.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Kevin, your question to take the lead -
0:06:22 > 0:06:23"Annie, are you OK,
0:06:23 > 0:06:28"so, Annie, are you OK?" is a line from which Michael Jackson song?
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Hmm.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I don't think it's Billie Jean.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- I'll try Smooth Criminal. - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:06:47 > 0:06:49You're right.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52It's, "Annie, are you OK, are you OK, are you OK, Annie?"
0:06:52 > 0:06:53It's like that.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I won't be rushing to the tape decks anyway.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00- What, your three-quarter-inch reel-to-reel machine...?- Yeah.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Going to have to stay off. OK, Mike, your question,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05the Beatles songs Michelle
0:07:05 > 0:07:08and Norwegian Wood appear on which album?
0:07:13 > 0:07:19I really, really should know this. Local band, world-famous.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23I love the Beatles, me dad'll be shaking his head, I can see it now.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Don't know...album tracks.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Phwoof! Rubber Soul, Revolver, Let It Be. Norwegian Wood.
0:07:33 > 0:07:40I'll go with Norwegian Wood, probably...Rubber Soul? Yeah.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- OK, well, it's a Liverpool team so is he right?- I think so.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- Yeah, you're right.- Get in!- Well done. Get in! Rubber Soul, it is.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Very tricky if you haven't got them. OK, Kevin, your question.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55What was the only UK No.1 single for Hot Chocolate?
0:08:02 > 0:08:06All very well-known songs for them, back in the, er...back in the '70s.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I think it was So You Win Again.
0:08:13 > 0:08:171977, it was So You Win Again, well done. OK, Mike, your question.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18You need to get this one right.
0:08:18 > 0:08:23OK. Johannes Brahms wrote how many symphonies?
0:08:28 > 0:08:34I wouldn't know where to start, even...even on an educated guess.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Erm...
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I've gone down the middle both times,
0:08:38 > 0:08:42so I'll take that out of the equation. Er...
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Johannes Brahms, symphonies...
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I don't know, is a symphony long?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Er, I'll go with four. Could someone write 40? I don't know. Four.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Is he right, Eggheads?- Yes. - Yes, you're right. Two out of three.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- APPLAUSE - Kevin could still take the round with this one, though.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04The African style of music known as juju is particularly
0:09:04 > 0:09:06associated with which country?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- J-U-J-U?- J-U-J-U?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16That doesn't sound at all Egyptian.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22And Mozambique being an ex-Portuguese colony
0:09:22 > 0:09:28has styles of music there with names that sounded more, well,
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Hispanic, for want of a better word. I think...I think this is Nigeria.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Yeah, you've got it. Nigeria is the right answer.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Very difficult to give Kevin any leeway.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- Sorry, Mike, he's knocked you out. - I blame the parents.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Your dad can rescue it for the team. So you won't be in the final.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your team-mates here.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52As it stands, the Challengers have lost a brain now, the Eggheads have
0:09:52 > 0:09:56also lost one, so all square and the next subject is Film & TV,
0:09:56 > 0:09:58who would like this?
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- TV, I'm all right on.- Yeah, you all right for that, Peter? Give it a go?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Peter?- Peter.- Against which Egghead?
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- Chris...- Chris, yeah?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Chris.- Chris.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Okey-doke, so Peter from the Mount Olympians against Chris
0:10:14 > 0:10:19from the Eggheads on Film & TV, please go to the Question Room now.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Peter, you're also a teacher?- I am indeed, Jeremy. I'm a maths teacher.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24It's funny being in the presence of teachers,
0:10:24 > 0:10:26cos you have that feeling like we're back in class.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31- Do you have that feeling, Chris? - Yeah, yeah, certainly do.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Remember your school days? - My school days? Total disaster.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- What happened?- Not a lot, well, I got kicked out of a grammar school.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I think, at an early age, I made up my mind, I was going to learn
0:10:41 > 0:10:43what I wanted to know, not what they wanted to teach me.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- I've always just gone on that way. - And you do know a lot.- Mm.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47Let's see how you do now.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51I'll ask each of you three questions on Film & TV in turn.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53That's the most I've got out of him for about two years.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Peter, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:10:56 > 0:10:57I'll go first, please.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Here's your first question.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05James Ivory was the film-making partner of which producer
0:11:05 > 0:11:09and director who died in 2005?
0:11:15 > 0:11:20Er, well, I'm pretty sure it's not either of the latter two.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25I am reasonably certain it's Mr Ismail Merchant.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27That's right, from Merchant-Ivory, well done.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34Chris, which sport is the focus of the 2005 film Million Dollar Baby?
0:11:37 > 0:11:38It's boxing, Jeremy.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Boxing is correct.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42What was the plot, Barry?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Hilary Swank wants to be a boxer and she's quite old
0:11:46 > 0:11:48and she has trouble finding a trainer
0:11:48 > 0:11:51and she manages to convince Clint Eastwood to be her trainer.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Absolutely wonderful film.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55OK, Pete, your question.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Who played Father Ralph de Bricassart
0:11:58 > 0:12:02in the 1980s TV adaptation of The Thorn Birds?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Er, well, it certainly wasn't Mr Richard Harris.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Don't think that was a role that would have been suited to him.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18Erm, could have been the very suave Mr Richard Briers, but it was
0:12:18 > 0:12:21one of my late mother's favourite actors,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Mr Richard Chamberlain.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Indeed it was Richard Chamberlain.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28It's a little bit before my time,
0:12:28 > 0:12:30but there was some amazing statistic about the National Grid
0:12:30 > 0:12:33when there was a break and it was one of the highest figures ever,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- wasn't it, for a TV programme?- Yeah.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37OK, Chris.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Which comic character, a burger van owner by trade,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44was created by the comedian Dan Renton Skinner
0:12:44 > 0:12:48and found fame on the TV comedy series Shooting Stars?
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Ah, yes, now you're trying to confuse me, aren't you,
0:12:58 > 0:12:59with Stavros, Harry Enfield?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Er, it was, er...
0:13:04 > 0:13:06He used to shamble around in a duffel coat,
0:13:06 > 0:13:08looking unshaven, didn't he? Angelos.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Angelos is correct, well done, all right.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14So your third question, Peter, here we go.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Who won the Oscar for Best Actress
0:13:16 > 0:13:18for her role in the 1976 film Network?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30'76. Er, Network was Peter Finch.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34I think it was Faye Dunaway.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- You're absolutely right, Faye Dunaway it is.- Well done, mate.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42OK, Chris,
0:13:42 > 0:13:46in 2010, Dan Stevens joined the cast of Downton Abbey
0:13:46 > 0:13:48playing which character?
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Ah...
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Well, Mr Carson's the butler, he's been there all the time.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03It's between John Bates and Matthew Crawley.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09John Bates sounds like he's been there all the time, Matthew Crawley
0:14:09 > 0:14:13sounds like some sort of parvenu so I'll go with Matthew Crawley.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16That's a good way of working it out, cos it's right,
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Matthew Crawley is the one. Well done. OK, sorry about that, Peter.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22His logic is amazing, his logical processes,
0:14:22 > 0:14:26but we get to Sudden Death now. OK, so I don't give you alternatives.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27It's a bit harder.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30William Munny is the central character in which
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Oscar-winning film of the 1990s?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I'm afraid, as you can probably tell by my expression
0:14:42 > 0:14:43it's probably a complete guess.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I will go with Jerry Maguire.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48No, it's Unforgiven.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Clint Eastwood played the part and also produced and directed it.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Chris,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55the American sitcom The Golden Palace was
0:14:55 > 0:14:57a spin-off from which other programme?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- This for the round.- Well, it sounds like an Indian restaurant
0:15:00 > 0:15:04but I think it was a spin-off from The Golden Girls.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05- That your answer?- Yeah.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08The Golden Girls is right. Chris, you've taken the round.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Sorry, Peter, you're beaten by our Egghead
0:15:10 > 0:15:12and you won't be able to play in the final round.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Still a very interesting contest.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Please both of you come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20So as it stands, the Challengers have now lost two brains,
0:15:20 > 0:15:24the Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27and the last subject before that final round is History.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29- Is that good?- OK, Mike.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- Michael?- Go on, Mike. - Against which Egghead?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Can be Daphne or Barry on the end there.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- Barold.- I think, Barry.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42- Barold?!- Take Barry.- Barry.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44So, it's Michael from Mount Olympians versus
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Barry from the Eggheads,
0:15:46 > 0:15:50and to ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- You ready for this one, Barry? - Yes, I love History.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I don't think you've ever lost a round in History, have you?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Not yet, there's always the first time.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00But it was a big night last night?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Yes, I took Chris out to the Scotch Malt Whisky Society
0:16:03 > 0:16:05and we sampled the very fine products they have on sale.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- So you might have picked a good moment, Michael.- I hope so.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10You might have picked a good moment.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11OK, three questions on History, let's see
0:16:11 > 0:16:13if you can break Barry's great record.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- Would you like to go first or second?- I'd like to go first, please.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Here we go. First awarded in 1930,
0:16:21 > 0:16:25what was the highest decoration bestowed by the Soviet Union?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Well, I doubt very much if it's going to be the Cross of Rasputin,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37and given the time of it,
0:16:37 > 0:16:41I wouldn't think it's the Medal of the Tsar Nicholas.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Don't think so, so I'm going to go for the Order of Lenin.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Well done, Order of Lenin is right.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Barry, which empire was formed from the Eastern Roman Empire?
0:16:58 > 0:17:02This empire lasted until the Fall of Constantinople in 1453.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04It was the Byzantine Empire.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Byzantine Empire is quite right.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Glad you could remember it!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Michael, born at the end of the 19th century,
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Percy Toplis gained notoriety under which nickname?
0:17:25 > 0:17:29Well, I haven't heard of The Tichborne Claimant, and I don't
0:17:29 > 0:17:33think it was The Scarlet Pimpernel, I have heard of that character.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37I'm pretty sure it's The Monocled Mutineer.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39The Monocled Mutineer is correct.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Barry, John of Gaunt, so-called because he was
0:17:45 > 0:17:49born in Ghent in 1340, was the son of which English king?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55He was the son of Edward III.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00Edward III is correct as well. Cracking on through this round here.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03OK, Michael, your question, see if you can make it three out of three.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08Where did a mass trespass take place in 1932
0:18:08 > 0:18:12to protest against walkers being denied access to open country?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Well, it's a very famous one, this, isn't it?
0:18:20 > 0:18:25Erm, it's the anniversary this year, I think, so it's Kinder Scout.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Kinder Scout is the right answer.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Barry, your question. If you get this wrong,
0:18:31 > 0:18:32you've been knocked out.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36What was the name of the French flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar?
0:18:44 > 0:18:49Ah! This is where I might be regretting my folly the previous day.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51I believe it is...
0:18:51 > 0:18:54no, it's not Fou-cueux or In-comptable.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I believe it's Bucent-aire.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Bucentaure is the right answer, well done.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- The whisky helped you to mangle it when you said it.- Yes, it did.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06My French was never good, even at the best of times.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Anyway, it's three out of three here, so we go to Sudden Death,
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Michael, OK, it's a bit more tricky, I don't give you alternatives.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16The Maratha Empire of the 17th to 19th centuries
0:19:16 > 0:19:19was mainly based in the area of which modern country?
0:19:19 > 0:19:25Well, I don't know this one. So, it's going to be a guess.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31The A sound may suggest one of two places, really.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36It could either be South America or I'm thinking it could be, um...
0:19:36 > 0:19:38northern Asia. I'm going to go for...
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I'm going to say India.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Eggheads, is he right?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- He is indeed. - You're right, well done.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46APPLAUSE
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Barry, which island was known to the Romans as Vectis?
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Er...
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Now, Vectis?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00I'm just toying with the Isle of Wight or the Isle of Man.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04I don't think it was the Isle of Man. Yes, it was the Isle of Wight.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- The Isle of Wight is your answer? - Mm-hm.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07It's correct.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11This is a good round, guys.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Michael,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16what was the pen name of the American journalist,
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Elizabeth Cochrane, who, in the late 19th century,
0:20:20 > 0:20:24travelled around the world in 72 days in an attempt to emulate
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Phileas Fogg's literary feat?
0:20:32 > 0:20:37Er, trying to think of an American and a pen name. Um...
0:20:41 > 0:20:45No, I just don't know an answer for this one. Um...
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I'm just come to come out with a name - Barnum.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58No, the answer... Let's ask Barry. Barry, do you know?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- Yes, she was Nellie Bly. - Nellie Bly.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- No, didn't know.- Nellie Bly.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08OK, so, Barry, if you get this one right you'll have taken the round
0:21:08 > 0:21:10despite the incident last night.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12There was no incident yesterday.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15LAUGHTER
0:21:15 > 0:21:17The session, perhaps I should say.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Priam's Treasure, a hoard of gold jewellery and bronze weapons,
0:21:21 > 0:21:26was discovered by which German archaeologist in 1873?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Except that it wasn't Priam's Treasure.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31It was discovered by Heinrich Schliemann at Troy,
0:21:31 > 0:21:35and he thought it dated from Troy but subsequent archaeology
0:21:35 > 0:21:38has proved that it was a couple of centuries earlier.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40I should have perhaps said that Priam's Treasure
0:21:40 > 0:21:42was in inverted commas when I asked the question.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43So it was not what it seemed.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- But your answer is? - Heinrich Schliemann.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Heinrich Schliemann is the right answer. Very well done.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50A tough round for you both. Michael, sorry.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- He's good though, isn't he? - Very good.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55And Barry will be in the final round. Come back to us
0:21:55 > 0:21:57and we'll play the final.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01It is time for the final round
0:22:01 > 0:22:03which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:05 > 0:22:08won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11So, Mike, Peter and Michael, from Mount Olympians,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14and Dave from the Eggheads, would you, please, leave the studio?
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Jed and John, you're playing to win Mount Olympians £14,000.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Kevin, Daphne, Chris and Barry, you're playing for something
0:22:22 > 0:22:25that money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31The questions are general knowledge
0:22:31 > 0:22:32and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36So, Jed and John, the question is, are your two brains
0:22:36 > 0:22:40able to overwhelm the Eggheads' four brains today?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- Yes.- Good answer. Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45We'll go first, Jeremy, thank you.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Here's your first question.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Roberto Di Matteo became the interim coach
0:22:52 > 0:22:55of which football team in March 2012?
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Chelsea. Go to go Chelsea, haven't you? Strange that should come up.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05It's your favourite club, Jeremy. Chelsea.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Chelsea is the right answer. Well done.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11I'm so glad you didn't get that wrong. OK, Eggheads, your question.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14What name is given to the plug and socket system,
0:23:14 > 0:23:19usually with 21 pins, used to connect audiovisual equipment?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24- Scart.- Yeah, I know that.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29- OK. Scart.- It's a scart lead.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34I think it's French and the last two, R and T,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37stand for radio and television.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- Oh, is that right? - Yes, it is. It's an acronym.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Scart is the answer. Well done.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Mount Olympians, what type of establishment is Bedales
0:23:48 > 0:23:50in Hampshire, founded in 1893?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55B-E-D-A-L-E-S.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00- I think it's a school.- A school? - Yes, Bedales. A school.- A school.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- School or department store? - No, it's not a department store.- No.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- I think it's school.- I think it's a school.- Yes.- Shall we go to school?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- Yes.- We think it's a school.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12School is correct.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14Eggheads,
0:24:14 > 0:24:18a performer known as "the infant phenomenon"
0:24:18 > 0:24:20appears in which Charles Dickens novel?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Nicholas Nickleby, isn't it?
0:24:29 > 0:24:31It's the travelling troupe.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- Yes.- I think so.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- I don't think it's with...- No.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38There's nothing like it. I think it's Nicholas Nickleby.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40No, it's Nickleby.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43That is Nicholas Nickleby.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Nicholas Nickleby is the right answer, well done. OK, two each.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48This is the one.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Get this one right and you put a bit of pressure on them.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54The Australian businessman and explorer, John Batman,
0:24:54 > 0:24:57is best remembered as a pioneering figure
0:24:57 > 0:24:59in the creation of which city?
0:25:04 > 0:25:09- Batman?- Yes, Batman. Sydney was named after Lord Sydney.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13I don't know about Melbourne. It's more remote.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17I've been to Sydney, I had a tour.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- I don't remember hearing or seeing that name mentioned.- No.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Although it doesn't mean it wasn't Sydney.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27I had a little tour of Melbourne and I don't remember seeing it
0:25:27 > 0:25:28although it could be that.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Adelaide was named after the wife of one of the kings.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- Apparently so. - Shall we go for Melbourne?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38South Australia, that's where it was developed first,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41along New South Wales from Melbourne up the coast.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42It is remote. Victoria.
0:25:42 > 0:25:48More remote. South Australia, Adelaide? I don't know.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51OK, shall we try Melbourne?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Or Adelaide.- Why Adelaide?
0:25:53 > 0:25:58Only because I think Melbourne and Sydney were the first two cities...
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Yes.
0:25:59 > 0:26:05..to develop and Adelaide, that name doesn't link with anything.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06I've never heard of Batman.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09I know nothing about Adelaide and nothing about Batman,
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- so only on that ground, sort of negative logic.- Are you happy?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I've been to both of those cities but not Adelaide.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20- I didn't see his name in any of the guidebooks, so...- OK.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23We are just surmising, we're not very sure,
0:26:23 > 0:26:30but I've got great faith in my partner so we're going for Adelaide.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Yes, you brilliantly went towards the right answer
0:26:34 > 0:26:37and then parked it and went towards the wrong answer.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40The answer is Melbourne. You were on Melbourne
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- and I couldn't work out why you got off it again.- Indecision.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49- That would be an ecumenical matter. - That WOULD be an ecumenical matter.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- LAUGHTER - OK.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53It means the Eggheads can win.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Magnolia Lane is the name of the short road
0:26:55 > 0:26:57that leads into which golf course?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Well...- Um...
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- Well, the holes in Augusta are named after flowers.- They are.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13- I don't know it but it seems likely.- I'm happy with that.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- I don't know that it just seems to make sense.- On that basis, yes.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Well, on the basis that
0:27:19 > 0:27:24there is a lot of holes on the Augusta course named after flowers,
0:27:24 > 0:27:26that's what we're going for.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- Augusta.- Augusta is your answer.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Do you happen to know, guys? - Augusta.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Magnolia Lane does lead to Augusta Golf Course.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Eggheads, congratulations, you have won.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- Did you know answer to the Batman question?- Yes.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Does it make you feel better,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- that they knew that? - They know a lot of things.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51They do know a lot of things. They are very hard to beat.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- It was good contest.- It was a very good contest. Commiserations to you.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:27:57 > 0:27:58and their winning streak continues.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01It does mean you won't be going home with the £14,000,
0:28:01 > 0:28:05so the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Who will beat you?
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:09 > 0:28:11have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14£15,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
