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?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:36 > 0:00:38are Team Scotia, from Glasgow.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41This team of friends all play for the same five-a-side football club
0:00:41 > 0:00:45which they describe as "the worst football team ever".
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Let's hope they quiz a lot better than they play football, then. Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hello, my name's Fraser. I'm 25 and I'm a hotel manager.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Scott, I'm 25, and I'm an acoustic consultant.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59My name's Ally, I'm 26 and I'm an area sales rep.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, my name's Darren, I'm 27 and I'm unemployed.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, my name's Chris, I'm 27 and I'm a PR consultant.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08So, Fraser and team, welcome.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Hi, Jeremy.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13So, you have played football together, you quiz together.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Tell us about how you all met.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20We all, most of us were friends from school and through football as well.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23And we kind of socialised together as well.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26So, we're just a group of friends.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28So, what kind of quizzing do you do?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Just pub quizzes. We just do it for fun. Nothing too serious.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36It's just, I suppose it's more of a social thing.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40OK, well, good luck here. Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48So, Team Scotia, the Eggheads have won the last 15 games, which means
0:01:48 > 0:01:53£16,000 says you can't beat them today. Do you want to start?
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Let's go for it.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59So, who would like this?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02THEY CONFER INAUDIBLY
0:02:02 > 0:02:03I think Darren.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05I'll take it, but I think...
0:02:05 > 0:02:06You know a bit more than me.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Darren watches a lot of TV, so...
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Yeah, we think Darren.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Darren, OK, against which Egghead? You can have any of them.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16What one do you think?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Hmmm. Go with Chris.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Go Chris?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Think so. We'll have Chris.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Right, I'll take Chris.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Darren from Team Scotia against Chris. Film & TV, Chris?
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Yeah, I'll go for it.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31OK, against Chris from the Eggheads, and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:31 > 0:02:35would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Good luck to you in this round. I'll ask each of you three
0:02:38 > 0:02:41multiple-choice questions on Film & TV in turn.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner
0:02:44 > 0:02:46and, Darren, your choice. Would you like the first or second set?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I'll go first, please.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Here is your first question.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Ron Dixon, Tinhead and Emily Shandwick were characters
0:02:55 > 0:02:58who appeared in which long-running TV series?
0:03:01 > 0:03:08Erm, I've not really watched a lot of Crossroads or Holby City.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13I've seen some Brookside, so, I'll just go for Brookside.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Brookside is correct. Well done.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18THEY APPLAUD
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Chris, your question.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23The 2007 animated film, Ratatouille, concerns a rat
0:03:23 > 0:03:27trying to make it as a chef in a restaurant in which city?
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Hmmm. That was Paris, Jeremy.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Paris is quite right. 1-1. Back to Darren.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41Who played the role of Mr Orange in the 1992 Quentin Tarantino film, Reservoir Dogs?
0:03:46 > 0:03:52I've not seen that film. Erm, I'll go for Tim Roth.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Bang on! You're playing this well. Tim Roth is right.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Chris, your question.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Michael Aspel, Angela Rippon
0:04:00 > 0:04:04and Terry Wogan have all hosted which TV show?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Hmmm, interesting point. It's not Watchdog.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19And I think Juke Box Jury was way back before the days of Terry Wogan.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24So, I think they've all hosted Come Dancing.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I think you are completely right. Come Dancing is the answer. Well done.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Darren, for three in a row.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33What is the historical setting for the 2001 film
0:04:33 > 0:04:35known in English as The Devil's Backbone?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Erm...
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Once again I've not seen this. Er...
0:04:48 > 0:04:52I'll go with the Spanish Civil War.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Eggheads, is he right?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Correct. It's a Guillermo Del Toro film.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59The Devil's Backbone is indeed about the Spanish Civil War.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Darren, excellent work. Three out of three. Well played.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Chris, if you get this wrong, you're out.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Tony Walton, the Emmy, Oscar and Tony award-winning designer,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10was the first husband of which actress?
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Ah, well, Julie Andrews was married to Blake Edwards for years and years and years.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I don't know if Jayne Mansfield was ever married.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23She was killed in a car crash. So, it's got to be Joan Collins.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27No, it doesn't. But Daphne obviously knows the answer, here.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Julie Andrews. - Julie Andrews is the right answer.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32So, Chris, I'm afraid you're a goner.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Darren, you made short work of him! - Aye!- Well done.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38THEY APPLAUD
0:05:38 > 0:05:40You will be in the final and Chris won't.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Good start, Fraser. Good start, Darren.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49So, the Challengers have lost no brains.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51The Eggheads have lost Chris.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53And we move on to our next subject, which is History.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Who would like History?- I think we've got the man for that one.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00You doing it, Chris? You're good at history.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Either myself or you. What do you reckon?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Probably wouldn't be my number one choice, but...
0:06:06 > 0:06:08It wouldn't be, it wouldn't be.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10I think we'll go for Scott. I think we'll go for Scott.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Scott, OK, against which Egghead? Can't be Chris, Scott.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Who would you like?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Who looks unhistorical?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Maybe Daphne? Go with Daphne, I think.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I think we'll go with Daphne, please, Jeremy.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28OK, so it is going to be Scott from Team Scotia against Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32And just to ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Scott, you do something called acoustic consultancy. What's that?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41That's right. I'm mainly involved in the environmental side of acoustics
0:06:41 > 0:06:45so, for any new housing developments that are next to a noise source,
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I would need to measure the noise and offer protection in the form
0:06:48 > 0:06:52of mitigation or glazing just to ensure that the noise levels within
0:06:52 > 0:06:57bedrooms and gardens are in line with World Health Organisation levels.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I see. So, like, if you're near a main road or a railway or something like that.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Yeah, definitely.- Or an airport. - Airports as well, yes.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07What's the loudest thing you've ever had a house next to?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Some houses next to the M8 motorway,
0:07:09 > 0:07:13probably about 20-30 metres back, so, as you can imagine,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15there was quite a lot of mitigation
0:07:15 > 0:07:18had to be put in place to protect the gardens there.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22OK, three questions on History. Are you up for this now, Scott?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- I hope so.- Good luck to you, good luck to Daphne. Would you like to go first or second?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I think I'll go second, please.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Here we go, Daphne. What title was taken by the future Queen Elizabeth
0:07:34 > 0:07:37the Queen Mother, on her marriage in 1923?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45She was the Duchess of York.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47She was indeed the Duchess of York.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Well done. Back to you, Scott.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Who, in a 1951 farewell address to Congress,
0:07:54 > 0:07:58closed his long military career with the words,
0:07:58 > 0:08:02"Old soldiers never die, they just fade away"?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Erm, I believe that was Douglas MacArthur.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13It was indeed Douglas MacArthur.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14APPLAUSE
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Your team has not got a question wrong yet.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Daphne, Grigory Potemkin was a favourite of which royal figure?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32He was the lover of Catherine the Great.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Catherine the Great is correct.
0:08:35 > 0:08:41I like the way we use the word "favourite", here. As a euphemism!
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Catherine the Great is the right answer. OK. Scott, your question.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Which explorer was given the title Admiral of the Ocean Sea
0:08:48 > 0:08:51by Ferdinand and Isabella?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59That was Christopher Columbus.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Spot-on! Is history your hobby?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05No, no. Not particularly.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- You're just one of these people who know everything.- Sometimes!
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Well, it's working well. Don't want to jinx it. Well done.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Christopher Columbus is right. Good stuff, Scott.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Daphne, your third question.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21Because Rome was occupied at the time, Pope Pius VII was crowned
0:09:21 > 0:09:28in Venice in 1800 with a papal tiara made from what material?
0:09:32 > 0:09:38Ha-ha! Gosh! Um, a papal tiara?
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Oh!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45I have never heard of those.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Try and think about it logically.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Erm...
0:09:51 > 0:09:56I mean, it would take quite a long time to carve an ivory one.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58I don't know.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Wood.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- No. Papier mache.- How ridiculous!
0:10:08 > 0:10:10This is interesting. Scott, if you get this one right,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12you've knocked out another Egghead,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15and you've done it in a way that's been almost effortless.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Which religious artefact is said to have been recovered
0:10:18 > 0:10:23and returned to Jerusalem by the Byzantine emperor, Heraclius?
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Hmmm. This one, I'm not too sure about. Em...
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I don't think it would be the Holy Lance.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42I'm leaning towards the Crown of Thorns.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Yep, I'll go with Crown of Thorns, please, Jeremy.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- Eggheads, do you know?- The True Cross.- What is the True Cross?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Presumably the cross on which Christ was crucified.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55I think St Helena was supposed to have found it
0:10:55 > 0:10:58and brought it to Constantinople. And maybe that came back.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00It was chopped up to bits.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04I mean, hundreds of people had bits of the True Cross.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05The answer is True Cross.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10Scott. Your incredible forward progress in the game has been halted
0:11:10 > 0:11:14slightly here. You both got two out of three, here. I go back to Daphne.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16We go to Sudden Death.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Gets a bit harder now. I don't give you alternatives, OK?
0:11:19 > 0:11:24In 1915, the name Little Willie was given to the first completed prototype
0:11:24 > 0:11:26of which type of military equipment?
0:11:28 > 0:11:33- 1915?- 1915, 1-9-1-5.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35That was a tank.
0:11:36 > 0:11:42Indeed it was, made by the agricultural firm William Foster & Co, of Lincoln.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Little Willie was a tank.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Scott, OK, you're on the defensive now.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Get this one right, you're still in.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Whose tomb, interred in Westminster Abbey in 1920,
0:11:53 > 0:11:57features the words, "They buried him among the kings"?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03I believe that is the Grave of the Unknown Soldier.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06That's the right answer. Unknown Soldier. Unknown Warrior.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Quite right. Well done.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Daphne.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12From 1912-1919,
0:12:12 > 0:12:14and again from 1923-1941,
0:12:14 > 0:12:20Geoffrey Dawson was the influential editor of which national newspaper?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Mm. The Times?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25The Times is the right answer.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Scott, which US city, founded in 1682,
0:12:30 > 0:12:35served as the capital of the United States between 1790-1800?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Er, Philadelphia?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Philadelphia is quite right. - Well played, Scott.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Playing very, very well, Scott. Brilliant.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Daphne, which London prison,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51built near St Bride's Church, was a former palace of Henry VIII?
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Bridewell?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Bridewell is the right answer, Daphne.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Honestly, some really good play here.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Over to you, now, Scott. You need this, to stay in.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Of whose nose was it said, "Had it been shorter,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11"the whole face of the world would have been changed"?
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Hmmm.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19I don't know this. So, I'm going to have to guess this.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Go for Napoleon Bonaparte?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27It's not Napoleon, it's Cleopatra.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Cleopatra's nose. Ah, what a shame to see you go.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34You played such a great round there, Scott.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38And you really pushed our Egghead, Daphne.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- You're through to the final, but he did well, didn't he?- Well, yes.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Absolutely brilliant.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46So, both of you come back to us, please, and we play on.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51We've got quite a contest, here, haven't we? The Challengers have lost one brain.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55The Eggheads have also lost one brain from the final round, and we play on.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58The next subject is Arts & Books. Who would like this?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00They don't get any easier.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Actually, Ally, I think...
0:14:02 > 0:14:04THEY ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:14:04 > 0:14:06It would be Ally...
0:14:06 > 0:14:08It's Chris or Ally in the middle, or you, Fraser.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I think, er, we'll throw Ally in.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12It's going to be Ally, is it?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14OK, Ally. Against which Egghead?
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Who do you take on? Judith, Pat or Barry?
0:14:18 > 0:14:23- Might as well pick Barry, get him out of the way.- Yeah, OK.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25We'll go for Barry.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Righty-ho, so it is Ally from Team Scotia
0:14:27 > 0:14:32versus Barry from the Eggheads. Please go to the Question Room now.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37I will ask each of you three questions on Arts & Books in turn.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Ally, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I know you probably want to choose the third set,
0:14:42 > 0:14:44but I've got to ask you first or second?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I prefer the third set, but we'll go first.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53OK, see if you can carry on the stonking performance by your team.
0:14:53 > 0:15:00Anne Shirley, the heroine of Anne of Green Gables is famous for having what colour hair?
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Erm...
0:15:05 > 0:15:06I'll go for red.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Straight down the middle.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Red is quite right. Well done.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Barry, according to the Art newspaper,
0:15:14 > 0:15:18what was the world's most visited art museum in 2011?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Hmm.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27The obvious answer is the one that I'm going for, the Louvre.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29The Louvre is correct.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Why would that, given the choice of those three,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34why would that be your preference?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Because it has the most spectacular exhibits.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38The most famous ones as well.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42- Has it got the Mona Lisa in there? - It has indeed. Winged Victory of Samothrace, and many others.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Amazing, those French museums. OK, over to you Ally.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50The Viaduct and Tanker Entering the Tyne,
0:15:50 > 0:15:54stolen paintings recovered in 2011, are by which British artist?
0:15:58 > 0:16:03Again, not too sure with the answer here, starting with that first one.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06I'll go with David Hockney.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10No, it's LS Lowry, I'm afraid to say.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Barry, which science-fiction author
0:16:12 > 0:16:15wrote the Helliconia trilogy?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Anne McCaffrey wrote a lot of science fiction books
0:16:22 > 0:16:26about dragons, so I don't think it was her.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Ray Bradbury was The Illustrated Man and many other fine works,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32but I think Helliconia was Brian Aldiss.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Brian Aldiss is the right answer, you take the lead.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38You need to get this one right, Ally.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40The artist Frans Hals
0:16:40 > 0:16:43lived and worked for most of his life in which city?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Once again, I'm not too sure with this one.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55But I'm going to go with Haarlem.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Harlem is the right answer.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Well done.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02OK, Barry, if you get this one right you are in the final round.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Which activity and interest of Sylvia Plath's
0:17:06 > 0:17:09is the subject of several poems in her collection, Ariel?
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Oh, I've never read Ariel, perhaps I should have done now.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I somehow can't see Sylvia Plath as a salmon fisher.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Cake decorating or beekeeping?
0:17:27 > 0:17:31I'm tempted, just for the hell of it, to say beekeeping.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35You're right, It is beekeeping.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Can't remember the poem's references, but it's beekeeping.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Well done, Barry, you've taken the round.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46Sorry, Ally, you were beaten by our Egghead so can't help your team in the final round.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Please both of you come back and rejoin your teammates.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53So, as it stands the Challengers have lost two brains
0:17:53 > 0:17:55and the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58They're coming back here slowly, you've got to stop them.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01The last subject before the final is Geography. Who would like this?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04INDISTINCT MUTTERING
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Chris may be useful in the final round so I think I'll take this one.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Fraser, OK. Which Egghead, Fraser?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13You can have Pat or Judith, so left-hand side.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14I think I'll take Judith.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18OK, so it's going to be Fraser from Team Scotia against Judith.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- How's that, Judith?- That's OK.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23On Geography. That's lucky, you haven't got a choice, you have to do it.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Exactly, you shouldn't ask me.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Just checking you're in a good mood, and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34So I'll ask each of you three questions on Geography,
0:18:34 > 0:18:37and Fraser, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39I think I'd like to go first, please.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Here we go, let's hope you can get your place in the final.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49The largest city in Alabama shares its name with which British city?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I'm not entirely sure about this one.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58I've been to America but it was only to Florida.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01I don't know too much about the rest of the country,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03but I'm going to go for Birmingham.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Birmingham is absolutely right, well done.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Judith, what type of bird features
0:19:10 > 0:19:12on the flag of the British Antarctic Territory?
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Well, I should think it's a penguin, since they live there.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Penguin is correct.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Fraser, the pound used
0:19:23 > 0:19:26in Egypt and Lebanon,
0:19:26 > 0:19:28is divided into 100 what?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36OK, I don't think it's dirhams,
0:19:36 > 0:19:42I was in Dubai and that's what they use in the UAE, as far as I know.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I'm going to go the riyals.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47You were halfway there ruling out dirhams,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49but it's actually piastres.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52100 of them make a pound.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Didn't know that.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58Judith, to take the lead, Mrs Macquarie's Chair, a sandstone rock
0:19:58 > 0:20:02cut into the shape of a bench for the wife of a governor,
0:20:02 > 0:20:06is a feature of which southern hemisphere city?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12As she's called Mrs Macquarie,
0:20:12 > 0:20:18you assume the governor is British, and therefore it's probably Sydney.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Sydney is right. Good logic.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Fraser, you need to get this one right.
0:20:25 > 0:20:31Which small lake in Antarctica shares its name with a larger lake in Africa?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Good question, erm...
0:20:37 > 0:20:40This one's going to be a bit of a guess.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46I think I'm going to go for Lake Chad.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Lake Chad is right. Well done.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51So it's 2-2.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Judith, you need to get this one
0:20:52 > 0:20:54to get your place in the final,
0:20:54 > 0:20:56or we go to Sudden Death.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00What type of geographical feature is Khan Tengri in Central Asia?
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Is it K-H-A-N?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06K-H-A-N and then T-E-N-G-R-I.
0:21:08 > 0:21:14Khan, Khan usually means a Muslim word for chief or something.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I think it might be...
0:21:17 > 0:21:21If I'm thinking right and it's a word for chief, a mountain
0:21:21 > 0:21:26is a kind of chief geographical feature, I would have thought.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28So, I'm going to say mountain.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33You got there again, the ruthless application of logic.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Mountain is right. So Judith, you have knocked Fraser out.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Sorry, Fraser, you won't be in the final round.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Both of you please come back and we will play that final.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46So, this is what we've been playing towards, it's the final round.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Which as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53But I'm afraid those who lost your head-to-head won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55So Fraser, Scott and Ally from Team Scotia,
0:21:55 > 0:21:59and Chris from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04So Darren and Chris, you're playing to win Team Scotia £16,000.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Daphne, Barry, Pat and Judith, you are playing the something that money can't buy,
0:22:09 > 0:22:11the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17The questions are all General Knowledge. You are allowed to confer.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22So Darren and Chris, the question is are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24And would you like to go first or second?
0:22:24 > 0:22:25- Go first?- Aye.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28We'll stick with going first.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Good luck, here we go.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Alex James, the bass player with Blur went into farming
0:22:37 > 0:22:40and became an award-winning producer of what?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- I think, cheese.- We're both thinking cheese, right away.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51- Yeah, we'll go for cheese.- Cheese is the right answer, well done. Good.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53OK, Eggheads, what type of vehicle
0:22:53 > 0:22:55is the ship in the title
0:22:55 > 0:22:58of the Shirley Temple song, On the Good Ship Lollipop?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Oh.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Good question.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09On the good ship lollipop, it's a short trip to the candy shop.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12lollipops and balloons are both round.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13I would say a balloon.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16A balloon is round like a lollipop, isn't it?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- Yes.- I imagine it'd be a submarine.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Submarine seems pretty unlikely.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22Could it be an aeroplane?
0:23:23 > 0:23:29Why would it be a ship? Balloons are sometimes called ships, aren't they?
0:23:31 > 0:23:36It just seems a rather odd answer. A balloon was central to the film.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I can't remember the film.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44I think the film was called Bright Eyes, that she sang it in, but that's all I know.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48- I don't know. I think balloon. - I think balloon.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50All right.
0:23:51 > 0:23:58We don't know, Jeremy, but there's a certain feeling for balloon.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Balloon? I thought you would know this - not that I know it,
0:24:01 > 0:24:05I just thought it's the sort of thing everybody knows.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Barry, I don't know if you sang the Shirley Temple song,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10you sang a song that had the same words.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12On the Good Ship Lollipop, yes.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- It's a plane.- Oh, my God!
0:24:15 > 0:24:17You got it wrong.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Well, we didn't know it.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21OK, guys, all you have to do is get
0:24:21 > 0:24:24the next two questions right and you've got £16,000.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26You don't have to do any more than that.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Here's your second question, take your time.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32What is England's oldest university?
0:24:35 > 0:24:36I think...
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Don't know, I think maybe rule Durham out straight away.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Just go with whatever you think, I don't know what that would be.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- My gut feeling is Oxford. What do you think?- Go with that then.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I think we'll go for Oxford, final answer.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Let's see if these guys know, are they right?
0:24:57 > 0:24:58- Cambridge.- Oxford.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- Is it?- It is Oxford.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06Dissension in the ranks. You're right, Oxford is correct.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08You're one answer away from £16,000.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Let's see whether they can make up some ground here.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16A new western concourse, designed by John McAslan & Partners,
0:25:16 > 0:25:21was unveiled in March 2012 at which London station?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Eggheads, if you get this wrong, the contest is over.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30It's King's Cross.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Yes, there's a superduper development at King's Cross.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Yes, they've been doing that for some time.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I don't think it's Waterloo.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41I don't think they've done anything at Waterloo for a while.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Liverpool Street again, hasn't been changed for quite some time.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46There's a spectacular roof.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48I'm inclined to go with King's Cross.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49I think it's King's Cross.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Yes, I think so, I just want to think about Waterloo.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Could we have the question again please, Jeremy?
0:25:55 > 0:25:59A new western concourse, designed by John McAslan & Partners,
0:25:59 > 0:26:03was unveiled in March 2012 at which London station?
0:26:03 > 0:26:08I think it stretches from the platforms toward St Pancras which would be west.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- It would be.- I think that's King's Cross, Jeremy.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15King's Cross is your answer. It's the correct answer.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19You are still alive, Eggheads.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Two to the Challengers and one to the Eggheads.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25If you get this one right, you've got £16,000.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30If you get it wrong, they've got a chance to level it up and who knows what happens then.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33So take your time, guys.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37In which event did Eric Liddell win a bronze medal
0:26:37 > 0:26:40at the 1924 summer Olympic Games?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Liddell is L-I-D-D-E-L-L.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Have you got any clues?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55If I'm not mistaken it's the basis for Chariots of Fire,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57the film, possibly, based on the true story.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03It's definitely not long jump. Unless you've got any preference?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06110 metres or 200 metres?
0:27:07 > 0:27:10I think go for the one you're feeling more.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14I think 200 metres is saying something to me.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17200 metres is our final answer.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21You don't hang about, you two, do you?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Are they right?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25I thought it was the 110 metres hurdles?
0:27:25 > 0:27:26I think they are right.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31You've got the right answer, well done. 200 metres it is.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35We say congratulations, Challengers, you have won.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Amazing playing. Something about your team, guys.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46The confidence in the final round.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49I felt bad for Scott who played an incredible History round.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Most times that would get you through, the round Scott played, wouldn't it?
0:27:53 > 0:27:55So, I thought when you lost him it was going to be tough,
0:27:55 > 0:27:57but my goodness you played a brilliant game.
0:27:57 > 0:28:02What do five young guys do with £16,000?
0:28:02 > 0:28:06I think my fiance will have that earmarked for the next year's wedding already.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08I'm so pleased. Really great team to have in.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12So, you've won £16,000, you are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16I asked if your two brains could beat their four and yes, you can. Two of you can beat four of them.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20You've proved as well they can actually be beaten.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of challengers will be
0:28:24 > 0:28:26just as successful as Team Scotia here.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Been brilliant to see you, well done again and goodbye.
