0:00:04 > 0:00:08These 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?
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:32against possibly Britain's greatest quiz team. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:34 > 0:00:36are Team Edward.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Everyone on this team is either a current, or former, employee
0:00:39 > 0:00:41of Leeds Metropolitan University.
0:00:41 > 0:00:47They quiz together once a month and, apparently, the ladies are to blame for their team name.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hello. My name's David. I'm 35. I'm an events management lecturer.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Sharon. I'm 35 and I'm a senior lecturer.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Tony. I'm 29 years old. I'm an international administrator.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Lisa. I'm 28 and I'm an executive PA.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07I'm Kate. I'm 27 and I'm a student administrator.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12So welcome, Team Edward. Tell me about the team name, Sharon.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Why Team Edward?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17The girls, we all had a bit of a Twilight fascination,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19reading the Twilight books.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23When we first went to do the quiz, we grabbed the team sheet,
0:01:23 > 0:01:28decided we were Team Edward, our favourite vampire, and the boys never got a look in, I'm afraid.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33Do you think any of the boys resemble, erm, R-Patz?
0:01:33 > 0:01:37- Well, I wouldn't possibly like to comment on that.- OK, then!
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Let's hope you don't end up in the twilight after taking on the Eggheads.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Look at that one in the middle there.- Vampire.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Straight from Transylvania, that one, isn't he(?)
0:01:48 > 0:01:55I'll tell you what's going on. Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01The Eggheads have won just the last game,
0:02:01 > 0:02:05so that means £2,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Our first head-to-head today comes up as Science.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Who'd like to play this?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12We did say, didn't we?
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- We thought it would come up first. - Should I do it, then?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- I think, Kate, you're up. - OK, I'll do Science.
0:02:19 > 0:02:25- OK, you'll kick us off, Kate. Which Egghead would you like?- Judith?
0:02:25 > 0:02:26We'll go with Judith.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30OK, it's going to be Kate and Judith into the Question Room, please.
0:02:31 > 0:02:37- Kate, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42OK, here you go, then.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45What term is used to describe the tails of certain creatures,
0:02:45 > 0:02:49such as the spider monkey, that are able to grasp or hold objects?
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Erm...
0:02:56 > 0:02:58..I'm not sure.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04I'm going to just take a guess and go with the first one, preternatural.
0:03:04 > 0:03:10OK. Well, it's certainly not prehistoric, but it's prehensile.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12A tail that is more or less an extra hand, I suppose.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Nothing there for Kate.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19Judith, anaerobic respiration is a process in plant
0:03:19 > 0:03:25and animal cells where energy is released from food without using which specific element?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I think it's...
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Aerobics and all that, and anaerobic, I think it's oxygen.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Of course it is. Without oxygen - anaerobic.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40So, one there for Judith.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43We need to get you on the board, Kate.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46What name is given to the fleshy whisker-like sensory filaments
0:03:46 > 0:03:50that extend from the mouth area in some fish?
0:03:55 > 0:04:01Again, I'm not too sure. I'm going to go with the first one, barbels.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Barbels is the right answer. You are on the board. Good.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Right. OK, Judith,
0:04:07 > 0:04:11your question to go back in the lead, potentially.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13What colour is cholesterol?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Cholesterol - the stuff in your blood?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Well, I suppose the blood could tinge it red. Erm...
0:04:23 > 0:04:26As it's sort of gunky, it might be brown.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31But it's made of butter and cream and all good things, isn't it?!
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- I think it's probably white. - Yeah, it is white.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Gunky and white, urgh! Let's not talk any more about it.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42It means you've got the lead and means
0:04:42 > 0:04:46also it's important you get this, Kate, to stay in the round.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50On an aircraft, what is a pitot tube used to determine?
0:04:56 > 0:05:02Erm...I'm not sure. I think I'm going to guess at air speed.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Air speed is correct. Good guess!
0:05:06 > 0:05:08And speeding along,
0:05:08 > 0:05:09but, of course,
0:05:09 > 0:05:14failed to get the monkey's tail, and Judith has an opportunity.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18In the 1810s, the British Army captain, George Manby, devised
0:05:18 > 0:05:21a forerunner of what piece of modern-day safety equipment?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Why would he invent a fire extinguisher?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32They all wore uniforms,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35so they wouldn't have had a high-visibility vest.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40I don't know. I think it's either fire extinguisher or lifeboat.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44The right is sometimes lucky. I'm going to go for lifeboat.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48It's punctured! Not lucky this time.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50It's the other one, the fire extinguisher.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53But what that means is
0:05:53 > 0:05:56your hopes were not extinguished, Kate. You're still in the game.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02You're playing Sudden Death now, after three questions. And you don't see any more choices.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07Here is your question. Mercury and which other member of the solar system
0:06:07 > 0:06:10have been labelled the "inferior planets"?
0:06:10 > 0:06:15Erm...I don't have a clue, so I'm just going to guess at
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Jupiter.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Mercury and Jupiter, inferior? It's not Jupiter. Any ideas, Judith?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Is it Venus?- It is Venus.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27The simple reason being they're closer to the Sun.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Closer to the Sun than the Earth. - Inferior, in that sense.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33It means you win if you get this, Judith.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Built by the Third Earl of Rosse in the mid-1800s,
0:06:36 > 0:06:40and installed in the grounds of Birr Castle in Ireland,
0:06:40 > 0:06:44what type of scientific instrument is the Leviathan of Parsonstown?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48What immediately sprang to mind was a telescope.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- That's the answer, is it? - That's what I'm saying.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- Quite often, that's followed with a "but".- I have no thoughts.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01You don't need them, because you've given me the right answer.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Right on the button. A 72-inch
0:07:04 > 0:07:05reflecting telescope.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10I don't know if you could see Venus with it or not. Probably could.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Bad luck, Kate. That means you won't be playing in the final round.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Team Edward, a bit of a lack of bite.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25As it stands, you've lost one brain. The Eggheads are all there.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27The next head-to-head is Geography.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Oh, it's got to be Tony.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- I think Tony.- That's quite spooky.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35We said Science and Geography would come up, didn't we?
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- I think it's Tony. - I'll go for it.- OK, Tony.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Four Eggheads to choose from. Any of them, apart from Judith.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47- You were quite keen to go head-to-head with CJ.- I think so.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52- I think we'll pick CJ.- Keen to go head-to-head with CJ?- So many are!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55See if you're saying that when you return from the Question Room.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Make your way there, please.
0:07:58 > 0:08:04Tony, do you share the female members of your team's interests in Twilight?
0:08:04 > 0:08:10I have suffered two of the films. I think, the second one, twice.
0:08:10 > 0:08:17I'm not particularly interested in seeing any further movies in the Twilight series.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Is he going to be in trouble when he comes back?- ALL: Yes!
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Maybe not if he wins. Tony, would you like to go first or second?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I'd like to go first, Dermot.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32OK, best of luck, Tony.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35What colour is the maple leaf on the flag of Canada?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40I hope I would know the answer to this,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43given that my brother lives in Toronto.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48He will probably watch this. If I get it wrong, he'll be on the phone.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52I'm going to go with red, as my answer.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56It is the right answer, of course. Have you been out to visit him?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Not as yet - the cost of flights.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Although me and Lisa are going to New York at Christmas.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04We're hoping he will travel down to meet us. So that should be good.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09- Meet halfway.- A longer journey for us.- Niagara Falls.- Yeah.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12OK, there we are. It is red.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13And your first question, CJ.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18The Victoria Memorial in London stands directly outside which building?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25This is UK, isn't it? Er...
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Well, I think there's a statue of Victoria outside Buckingham Palace.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33She was the first monarch to live there, so I'll try Buckingham Palace.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36It is the right answer - of course. Buckingham Palace.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38And Tony...
0:09:38 > 0:09:42the Cantabrian Sea is a name used to refer to
0:09:42 > 0:09:45the southern part of which area of water?
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Nothing springs to mind, immediately. Erm...
0:09:52 > 0:09:56I'm going to guess straight down the middle and say the Bay of Biscay.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Yeah, Bay of Biscay is correct.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03I think the other two would be hard pushed to accommodate a sea.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07The Cantabrian Sea. Well worked out.
0:10:07 > 0:10:13CJ, from which country did the USA buy the Aleutian Islands in 1867?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20I believe they run between Alaska and the eastern tip of Russia.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22They bought a lot from Russia.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26I don't know if they bought anything from China or Japan, so Russia.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Russia is the right answer.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30It's 2-2. You both know
0:10:30 > 0:10:31your geography, so far.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Tony, which country shares land borders
0:10:34 > 0:10:38with the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Yemen?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I should know this, having worked in the international office
0:10:45 > 0:10:48and dealt with Middle Eastern students on a regular basis.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53And also my colleagues will laugh, when I probably get this wrong.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58I am going to discount Iraq, I think.
0:10:58 > 0:11:05Jordan, I think...is a bit further north from there.
0:11:05 > 0:11:11- So I'm going with Oman as my answer. - OK, eliminating Jordan and Iraq.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16Your knowledge of their position leads you to the right answer, Oman.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Well worked out.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20CJ, get this wrong and you won't be in the final round.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24What is the most northerly of the Orkney Islands?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30This, I don't know.
0:11:30 > 0:11:36I know Westray is reasonably...far north,
0:11:36 > 0:11:40but I don't know where North Ronaldsay or Hoy are.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45This is little more than... That's a lie. This is a blind guess - Westray.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48It's not, CJ!
0:11:48 > 0:11:51It is North Ronaldsay.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53So, great news
0:11:53 > 0:11:57for Team Edward and, particularly, for Tony.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00All his sins forgiven for what he's said about Twilight.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04He's through to the final round. Come back and join your teams.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Well, they've levelled it up, Team Edward - specifically, Tony.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Both teams have now lost one brain from the final.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Our third head-to-head is Film & Television.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Who wants to play this?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I don't know if there will be any Twilight questions!
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- It's David, Sharon or Lisa. - We have discussed this.- Sharon.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- It's definitely got to be you. - All right.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33- OK, I will go for it, for the team. - OK, and who would you like to play?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I really want to play Daphne,
0:12:36 > 0:12:40but I think she just looks too sweet and innocent.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43I just think you'll annihilate me.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48- I think it's a facade. So, Chris?- Chris?- OK, Chris.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50What's a facade?
0:12:50 > 0:12:55It's her face - "I'm sweet and innocent", but she'll take me down.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00- So that scares me.- She's nodding! - Slam you to the floor.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03You won't find out, because you've taken on Chris instead.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Let's have Sharon and Chris into the Question Room.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12Sharon, hoping for those Twilight questions. It's a long shot!
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- Would you like to go first or second?- I think I'll go first.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Stick with the formula of the team, so far.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Best of luck, Sharon, your first question is this...
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Which former Eastenders actress joined the cast of Coronation Street
0:13:27 > 0:13:32in 2011, as Stella Price, the new manager of the Rovers Return?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Well, I remember this one,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40because there was quite a lot of press about the accent.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I really can't say anything about accents,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46but I know the press weren't very happy. It's Michelle Collins.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Michelle Collins is correct. I remember all that.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52There we are. Michelle Collins,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55identified there by Sharon.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Chris, in the sitcom Rising Damp,
0:13:57 > 0:14:00the main characters lived in what type of accommodation?
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- That was a very crumbling boarding house, run by Rigsby.- It is, yes.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12Wonderful stuff. Boarding house is correct.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14And Sharon,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Dark Of The Moon is the subtitle
0:14:17 > 0:14:21of the 2011 instalment of which action movie franchise?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Again, because of press reports, and I did actually see the film,
0:14:27 > 0:14:31but lead actresses got changed about, so it's Transformers.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36Megan Fox was cut from that movie, quite dramatically.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39That's an Eggheads answer! All the extra information!
0:14:39 > 0:14:42And correct, which is the main part of it.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Your second question, Chris.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47The Australian Playschool presenter, Don Spencer,
0:14:47 > 0:14:51sang the theme song to which Gerry Anderson puppet adventure show?
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Thunderbirds didn't really have a theme song. They had a narration.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03"Thunderbirds are go!" and all that rubbish.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Fireball XL5 was right away back in the '60s.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15It did have a theme tune...but...
0:15:15 > 0:15:18# Captain Scarlet... #
0:15:18 > 0:15:21That's hardly a tune. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26It's not. No, it is Fireball XL5.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28OK, didn't identify it,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31so it's great news for you, Sharon.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34If you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Which Oscar did Conrad L Hall win for the films
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Road To Perdition, American Beauty
0:15:40 > 0:15:43and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Now, I am not sure of this one. I watch the Oscars every year.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58But probably by this time, I'm falling asleep.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00I don't think it's costume design.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04I don't know why I don't think it's screenplay.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07The American Beauty screenplay,
0:16:07 > 0:16:11I just think is a different person, so I'm going with cinematography.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16Cinematography for Conrad L Hall, for those great films.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- It's the right answer.- Yes!
0:16:20 > 0:16:22It's correct!
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Sharon, you've got to play again,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27you've got to play in the final.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35The Eggheads have now lost two brains from the final round.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40Team Edward have lost one. Let's see what the make up of the final round will be.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43This head to head will decide it. It's sport,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45our last head to head.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49The remaining players from Team Edward are David and Lisa.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- I was quite keen to have a go, wasn't I?- Go on.- I'll play sport.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58David, and the remaining Eggheads are Daphne and Kevin.
0:16:58 > 0:17:05Since Sharon didn't want to play Daphne, but I'll take Daphne.
0:17:05 > 0:17:12OK. Let's have David and Daphne into the Question Room then.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18David, we'll soon find out how sweet and innocent Daphne is.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Do you want to go first or second?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Well, it's been a good formula so far,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27so I would also like to go first.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32OK, first question.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36How often is golf's Ryder Cup competition usually played?
0:17:39 > 0:17:44Well, I know it's definitely not every ten years.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49And I really should know this. I'm sat thinking, "Two or four?"
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I'm fairly sure they're more frequently...
0:17:52 > 0:17:55I'm going to go A, every two years.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Every two years is the right way to go. Yes.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Daphne, whom did John Barrett succeed
0:18:03 > 0:18:07as the BBC's principle tennis commentator in 1991?
0:18:11 > 0:18:15- That would be Dan Maskell.- Oh, I say!
0:18:15 > 0:18:19It's the right answer, yes. Dan Maskell.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21David,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23your second question.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26In 2008, the Rugby Union centre Nick de Luca
0:18:26 > 0:18:29made his debut for which national team?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34He doesn't sound French.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38I think maybe seeing some of the things
0:18:38 > 0:18:41about the Rugby World Cup, I think I'm going to go Scotland.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Scotland, the right way to go. Scotland is correct.
0:18:46 > 0:18:52Two for you. Daphne, in what sport might one execute a choctaw turn?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- That's figure skating. - Care to demonstrate?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05I don't... I haven't got a clue what it is, but I know it's correct.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Figure skating, correct.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09And 2-2,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12so crucial third question for you, David.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Which Pakistani fast bowler, who made his Test debut
0:19:15 > 0:19:21in 1989 against India, took on the nickname the Burewala Express?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Erm, so...'89.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35I'll have to think this through.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Shoaib Akhtar was still playing recently.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44I think I'd probably thought that Wasim Akram
0:19:44 > 0:19:49and Waqar Younis had been bowling before '89.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52I think I'm going to go for one of those.
0:19:52 > 0:19:58A bit of a guess. I'm going to go for Wasim Akram.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01It's Waqar Younis.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04We know, you shared it with us, you were thinking of.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09But swung it the other way. Will it have swung the round? Daphne,
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Skonto FC are a leading football team from which country?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Skonto. S-K-O-N-T-O.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Skonto FC are a leading football team from which country?
0:20:24 > 0:20:30Could be any of them. They're all Baltic. Erm...
0:20:30 > 0:20:35They've all got similar languages. Erm...
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Oh, Lithuania.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Skonto FC are a leading football team,
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- and I'm surprised you didn't know this, in Latvia.- Oh.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50But that's good news for you, David.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52It takes you into Sudden Death. Your first question.
0:20:52 > 0:20:58During the '70s, the American Dwight Stones broke the world record
0:20:58 > 0:21:01in which athletics event three times? Dwight Stones.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I've not heard of him, unfortunately, which would make me
0:21:04 > 0:21:09think that it's perhaps not one of the more famous events.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12100m sprints, hurdles...
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Erm...
0:21:13 > 0:21:19They've always been quite good at things like long jumps and triple jumps, American athletes.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22But the name Dwight Stones doesn't fit.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27Ed Moses was around in the longer hurdles.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32It's got to be a track event, so I'm going to go for the 110m hurdles.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36OK, 110m hurdles. It's not though.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Daphne, you're quite good at athletics?- High jump?
0:21:39 > 0:21:43High jump, it is. The first flop jumper.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Your question and a chance for a place in the final round.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50An arrow shot by the Paralympian Antonio Rebollo
0:21:50 > 0:21:56lit the Olympic flame during the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympic Games held in which year?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01'92.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06- '92, which of course were...? - Barcelona?- It's the right answer.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Oh, wow!- Through to the final round.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Is sweet and innocent, by God, she's a good quizzer too!
0:22:13 > 0:22:17As you found out there, David. Bad luck.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Well played, but not enough to see off Daphne.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Would you both come back and join your teams.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30It's time for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35But those of you who lost your head to heads won't be taking part.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38David and Kate from Team Edward and CJ and Chris
0:22:38 > 0:22:42from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:22:42 > 0:22:47Sharon, Tony and Lisa, you're playing to win Team Edward £2,000.
0:22:47 > 0:22:53Judith, Kevin and Daphne, you're playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58I ask each team three questions. The questions are General Knowledge.
0:22:58 > 0:23:05You are allowed to confer. Sharon. Tony and Lisa, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- Do you want to go first or second? - We've agreed that we'll go first.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Good luck. Here's your first question.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20In what year did the UK's Human Rights Act receive Royal Assent?
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Oh, I have no idea, but human rights, surely...
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Isn't that a new thing?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Did we really care about human rights way back when?
0:23:35 > 0:23:41- But then again, you had... I think it is an EU thing.- Yeah.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46I'm sure we had stuff, but to get Royal Assent, but then...
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- It's got to be 1998.- I don't know.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51If that was your gut instinct, go with that.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- OK.- OK, we've decided to go for 1998.
0:23:55 > 0:23:571998, the most modern one there.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01People were still being hung, drawn and quartered in 1798.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Might have been a violation of their human rights(!)
0:24:04 > 0:24:06It is the right answer. 1998.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Eggheads,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12the 17th century figure Aphra Behn is renowned
0:24:12 > 0:24:16for having been the first woman in England to earn a living as a what?
0:24:19 > 0:24:23The 17th century figure Aphra Behn is renowned for having been
0:24:23 > 0:24:27the first woman in England to earn a living as a what?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29She was a writer.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- You say writer and that is correct. - And worked as a spy occasionally.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- Really? - Bit of espionage on the side.
0:24:36 > 0:24:42- And her dates.- Go on.- She died relatively young, 1640 to '89?
0:24:42 > 0:24:47Goodness me, you are right, yes. 1640 to 1689.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49It's 1-1, Team Edward.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54Second question. Which country won the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01My feeling is it was Azerbaijan.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- That was my gut instinct. - I think so as well.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I think we'll go for Azerbaijan.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09We're going to go for Azerbaijan.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13And you did remember it correctly, yes. Azerbaijan.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17So two for you. And will it be two for the Eggheads?
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Which classic book title is a translation of the Hebrew word Beelzebub?
0:25:26 > 0:25:31Which book title is a translation of the Hebrew word Beelzebub?
0:25:31 > 0:25:37- It's The Lord Of The Flies. - Lord Of The Flies. Well, I never.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41A translation of Beelzebub. It's the right answer.
0:25:41 > 0:25:452-2, and over to the third question.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48This is where the game can be won or lost.
0:25:48 > 0:25:54Which president of the US had previously served as vice-president
0:25:54 > 0:25:58under James Garfield and took over when Garfield was assassinated?
0:26:03 > 0:26:07- I have no clue.- I don't know.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12- Do you have any idea?- I don't know why I'm thinking Rutherford Hayes.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15I would discount Chester Arthur. Don't ask me why.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- Did you say your gut was Rutherford? - Yeah.- That was mine.
0:26:19 > 0:26:25- Um. Um.- We really don't know.- It's too early for me with US presidents.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29I've only researched the early years.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32So if two of our guts were - let's go straight down the middle.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- We don't know. And it is a guess. - Yeah, completely.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40OK, we're going straight down the middle, Rutherford Hayes.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Rutherford B Hayes as vice-president,
0:26:42 > 0:26:46then taking over when Garfield was assassinated.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51It's incorrect. It's not Rutherford B Hayes. It is, Eggheads?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- Chester Arthur.- Chester Arthur.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Well, there we are.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Chester Arthur not identified by Team Edward,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02giving the Eggheads a chance for victory.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Which Rat Pack entertainer
0:27:04 > 0:27:08performed as part of the Will Mastin Trio with his father and uncle?
0:27:14 > 0:27:18I would go for Sammy Davis Jr because he was a child entertainer.
0:27:18 > 0:27:25- He was, yeah. - It's not Peter Lawford.- No, no.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I've never heard of Dean Martin...
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- He was Italian, wasn't he? - Dino Crocetti was his real name.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- It's more likely to be Sammy Davis. - The logical one is Sammy Davis.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38He was a child entertainer.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43- It just seems... Yeah, it sounds right, doesn't it?- It sounds more...
0:27:43 > 0:27:49It does. It just sounds more likely that it was Sammy Davis.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52So Sammy Davis Jr is our answer.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Part of the Will Mastin Trio with his father and uncle.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59It was Sammy Davis Jr. Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09Team Edward, bad luck. All square, in terms of those head to heads.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13David with a narrow squeak against Daphne could have been different.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16I normally ask - did you enjoy yourselves? I don't need to ask.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19I know. Especially you, Sharon. Had a whale of a time.
0:28:19 > 0:28:24It's been transmitted to all of us. Thank you for playing the Eggheads.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and they reign supreme.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31You won't be going home with the £2,000.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33That means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:37 > 0:28:42Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46£3,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
