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 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27The show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:30against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today,
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are Psychs Plus from Carlisle.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Everyone on this team works for the local authority in Cumbria.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Let's meet them.
0:00:41 > 0:00:46Hi. I'm Joanna, I'm 56 and I'm an educational psychologist.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hello. I'm Debra, I'm 50 years old and I'm an educational psychologist.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Hugh, I'm 47 and I'm an educational psychologist.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hello, my name is Ruth, I'm 57
0:00:57 > 0:01:00and I'm also an educational psychologist.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Linda, I'm 54
0:01:03 > 0:01:06and I'm an inclusion support officer.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Well, welcome to you Psychs Plus.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Tell me about the work of educational psychologists.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15What difference you can make to a child's life and education?
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Well, we hope to make a difference to their education,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22also their emotional well-being and their behaviour.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26We're some of our members, we're not all educational psychologists,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29we work alongside behaviour support people. And Linda's one of those.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32OK, very important work. Very important work here though!
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Absolutely. - Trying to beat the Eggheads.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36What on earth do you think you're doing?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38LAUGHTER
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Why did you decide to take on the Eggheads?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43We obviously enjoy the show.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46We're doing it for a bit of fun and the experience.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49That's the point. Hopefully a little bit of cash for you at the end.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50That would be a bonus.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53There's a bit more than a little bit of cash, as I'm about to tell you.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs, for our challengers.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the price money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04So, Psychs Plus, the Eggheads have won the last 12 games
0:02:04 > 0:02:08and that means, £13,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads!
0:02:08 > 0:02:12And we're going to kick off straight away, our first head-to-head battle,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14as you try to knock an Egghead out of the quiz.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Our first subject is Film And Television,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19and any one of you can kick off.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20That's you, Linda.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I knew I'd have to go first.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23You are the first.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Who would you like be against?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- I think... - I think it's up to you, really.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31CJ is looking worried.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Yes, he is.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Now he's trying not to look worried.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36I think I'll take CJ.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38CJ.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42CJ. I love the way you're using the psychology there. CJ.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43It's my favourite subject.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47It was a double bluff, you didn't suss that one out.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Anyway, you'll still knock him out anyway.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Linda and CJ, into the Question Room
0:02:52 > 0:02:54just to make sure you can't confer with your team-mates.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Linda, would you like to go first or second?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I'll go first, please.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Film & Television, first question is yours, Linda, and it's this.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Who starred as Elle Woods, a sorority queen who follows her
0:03:10 > 0:03:15ex-boyfriend to law school in the 2001 comedy film Legally Blonde?
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Legally Blonde. I'm not at all sure on this one.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Erm...
0:03:26 > 0:03:29But I think I'll go for Drew Barrymore.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Drew Barrymore.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Of course, it's become a very successful stage musical as well.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Legally Blonde, the 2001 comedy film,
0:03:35 > 0:03:40the starring role of Elle Woods taken by Reese Witherspoon.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42So, nothing there.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Let's see if CJ's start is hopefully as shaky.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51CJ, who was the regular main female host opposite
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Chris Evans of The Big Breakfast when it first broadcast in 1992?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Well, Gaby Roslin did host it with Chris Evans.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06I've no memory of Katy Hill or Fiona Phillips having done it,
0:04:06 > 0:04:07so Gaby Roslin.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Is the right answer, yes,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Gaby Roslin and Chris Evans hosting The Big Breakfast when it started.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16So, Linda, let's get you off the mark.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19In the TV comedy series On The Buses,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22what was the name of Stan Butler's sister, played by Anna Karen?
0:04:25 > 0:04:31Well, I'm quite sure that that is Olive.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Am I?
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Are you sure now?
0:04:34 > 0:04:39Yes, that Question Room does strange things to your certainty,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41but it is the right answer, yes, of course.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Olive, well done.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Right, hoping for a slip-up as soon as possible from CJ.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50CJ, the 1981 film Raiders Of The Lost Ark is set in which decade?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I'm just checking. It should be the '30s.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00It obviously concentrates on the rise of Nazi Germany.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Yes, '20s is too early, '40s is too late, I think it's the 1930s.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Nailed it down there, it's the right answer.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Yes, well done, CJ, you have two, Linda has one,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11and therefore needs this.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Linda, Lauren Bacall made her film debut in which film?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Oh, erm,
0:05:22 > 0:05:27probably not so much the obvious one that I'm thinking of,
0:05:27 > 0:05:31so I'm going to go for To Have And Have Not.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Well done, yeah, right answer.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Fantastic, Linda, you're still in it.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I get confused between them.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Is this the one where, "You know how to whistle," and all that?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42"Put your lips together and blow."
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Chris, somehow, coming from you, just not quite the same!
0:05:48 > 0:05:52There we are, Lauren Bacall's debut in To Have And To Have Not
0:05:52 > 0:05:56keeping Linda in it, but she has to hope that CJ fails here.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58CJ, in the 1935 film No Limit,
0:05:58 > 0:06:02George Formby plays a character called George Shuttleworth
0:06:02 > 0:06:05whose dream it is to win which sporting event?
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Don't know this. I don't think I've ever seen a George Formby film.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15And I don't know this one.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Well, No Limit could, I suppose, relate to speed,
0:06:18 > 0:06:20or it could be the name of a horse.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24He's English. Grand National is the only one of those
0:06:24 > 0:06:26actually in England.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Really don't know this one. I will try Grand National.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Pretty thin reasoning, CJ.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- He's English, the Grand National's set in England?- Well, it's right.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- It's not right. It is...- Isle of Man TT.- The Isle of Man TT race.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Yes, whizzing around the Isle of Man.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42So, you're still in it, Linda.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Well done.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46You revive from that first question slip-up,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48which means we've gone into sudden death.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51And just to remind you, Linda, you don't see any choices now,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53you've just got to give me the answer.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Here's your question.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56What is the subtitle of the Star Wars film
0:06:56 > 0:06:59released in 2005 as Episode Three?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Oh. Um...
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Are you a fan of the Star Wars films?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05No, I'm not, Dermot, actually.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08It's not one of my genres that I like, really.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12It'll be something along the lines of
0:07:12 > 0:07:14To Beyond And Return or something.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Beyond And Return, just as a pure guess.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20I think that's better than the real title.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24It's not the right answer, though. Episode Three is... Do you know, CJ?
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Revenge of the Sith. - Revenge of the Sith.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Not identified by Linda.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34And CJ did, but it doesn't matter. He's got to get this one to win it.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38The US television series Tabitha, starring Lisa Hartman
0:07:38 > 0:07:43and first shown in 1977, was a spin-off from which 1960s comedy?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I imagine she was the daughter of Samantha from Bewitched.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51Bewitched is the right answer, CJ. You've won. Bad luck, Linda.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54You fought your way back into it, came ever so close,
0:07:54 > 0:07:55but you're not playing in the final round.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Would you please come back and join your teams?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Well, CJ held off a strong challenge from Linda there on his favourite
0:08:03 > 0:08:06subject, and it means that Psychs Plus have lost one brain
0:08:06 > 0:08:07from the final round.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10The Eggheads are all intact for the time being.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13And our second round today, then, and this one is Science.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Who'd like to play this? Can't be Linda, of course.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- Ruth?- Ruth, yes.- Who would you like?
0:08:20 > 0:08:21Who should I choose?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- They all look as though they know Science to me.- They all probably do.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Definitely not Daphne. She looks...- Barry or Pat, maybe?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- Yeah, Barry or Pat.- Yeah. Can I choose Pat, please?- Yes, you can.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33You know you can. Let's have Ruth and Pat
0:08:33 > 0:08:36into the Question Room, please, to contest this one.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Would you like to go first or second, Ruth?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I think I'd like to go first, please.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47First Science question is yours, Ruth.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Which process explains why a straight object
0:08:50 > 0:08:54standing in a half-filled glass of water appears to bend
0:08:54 > 0:08:56at the surface of the water?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I do know this one. That'll be refraction.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08It certainly will. It's the right answer and a good start, Ruth.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Pat, what name is given to a cord or thread used in surgery,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14especially to tie up a bleeding artery?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Um...
0:09:19 > 0:09:22The general term is a suture, but I think,
0:09:22 > 0:09:26if you were trying to tie up an artery, I think you'd use a ligature.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I don't think it's armature or tablature. I'll go for ligature.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Right answer. Well done, Pat. One apiece.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Ruth, what colour are the legs of the Atlantic puffin?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I'm trying to think of the cover of Puffin paperbacks
0:09:42 > 0:09:44when I was a child.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46But, of course, was that an Atlantic puffin?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I think I'm going for orange.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Orange, OK. Just waiting for it to light up. Goes orange.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55It'll go green now, too. It's the right answer.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Well done, Ruth.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00OK, you have the lead. Will it stay that way after this?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Pat, which element has the atomic number 10?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Silver is well down the periodic table.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12My first instinct is that it's neon,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15but I'll just have to think about it for a moment.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18It's neon.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21OK, rather appropriate, because it's going to light up green now as well.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23It's the right answer - neon.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25OK, two-all. And, Ruth, in the eye,
0:10:25 > 0:10:30what name is given to the photo receptors in the retina that
0:10:30 > 0:10:32function under conditions of low illumination?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I'm thinking about what I know about this,
0:10:37 > 0:10:41and I think that it's cones in the middle that see colours,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44and it's rods that function for low illumination,
0:10:44 > 0:10:45so I'm going to say rods.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49It's the right answer. Well done, Ruth.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Knows her stuff. 3-2.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Pat, what term is used to refer to the part of a horse's leg
0:10:55 > 0:10:58between the fetlock and the hoof?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Of those three words,
0:11:04 > 0:11:09I think I can remember seeing pastern in an equine context.
0:11:09 > 0:11:15I think a gaskin is an old-style boot or wellington type of thing,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17and I think stifle is just a verb.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Of those three, I'll have to go with pastern.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Pastern because you've heard it...
0:11:21 > 0:11:24I think I've heard it in some sort of equine context.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Is it between the fetlock and the hoof?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28It is, pastern is correct,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30so it's three-all, we go to sudden death again.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Second time of asking, and only the second round,
0:11:33 > 0:11:37and, Ruth, in which decade of the 20th century
0:11:37 > 0:11:40was Ernest Rutherford awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Erm...
0:11:44 > 0:11:48I don't know this, it is a matter of guesswork. Let me have a think.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Ernest Rutherford...
0:11:50 > 0:11:55I think it's early on. I'm toying between the 19...
0:11:55 > 0:11:59the teens, the 19 teens and the '20s.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I think I'm going to say...
0:12:02 > 0:12:04the '20s.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08The '20s for Ernest Rutherford, Nobel Prize for Chemistry. It is...
0:12:08 > 0:12:09incorrect.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Not the '20s. Eggheads?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13First decade.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- First decade?- I think it was 1907.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16No.
0:12:16 > 0:12:178?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- Well, yeah, OK...- 6?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Have ten guesses! It's 1908.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Ernest Rutherford, awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in the 1900s -
0:12:25 > 0:12:28to be precise, 1908.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31So, the first one either of you have got incorrect.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Pat, which geological period
0:12:33 > 0:12:36comprises the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Hmm. I think we're living in the Holocene.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45So it's, I think, from the current time, back quite a bit.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48I'm looking for a period.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53The aeons, eras, epochs, periods...
0:12:53 > 0:12:56The trouble with these geological time periods,
0:12:56 > 0:12:59there's quite a variety of different entities.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I think the giant one is the Phanerozoic,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04but I don't think that's right.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I don't think period is the biggest of the geological divisions.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I'm going to have to have a guess at Quaternary.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13OK. Quaternary...
0:13:13 > 0:13:17It is the right answer, Quaternary is correct.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21The Quaternary period comprises the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Did you know that, Ruth? - I have to confess, I didn't.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Well, I don't know, you maybe would have worked it out.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Very good quizzing battle, really hard there, into sudden death,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32but the Egghead again has squeezed you out. Bad luck, Ruth,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34you won't be in the final round.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Psychs Plus, I'm a little puzzled after all that.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I mean, two great performances, and yet you're two brains down.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47But as it stands, you've lost two brains from the final round,
0:13:47 > 0:13:48the Eggheads are all still there.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52We've got two more head-to-heads to play. Our next one is Arts & Books.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- That's me.- Well, you've got this sorted out in advance.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57It's going to be you, is it, Joanna?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Yes, I think so.- OK, any of those Eggheads in the middle,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03because the bookends have played.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Chris? Chris? Shall we go Chris?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Yeah, I think Chris, please.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11OK. Could I ask you both to go to the Question Room?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Right, Joanna, I know you're passionate about your job -
0:14:14 > 0:14:18are you equally passionate about arts and literature?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21I'm certainly a member of a book club,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24and, in fact, a book club that's been going a long time,
0:14:24 > 0:14:27and I do enjoy some of the other arts as well.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Tell me about the book club, how often do you meet?
0:14:30 > 0:14:34We meet about once a month, and it has been running about 20 years,
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- so it's one of the original ones, I would think.- Wow.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Doing the maths, that's quite a few books you've read just in the club!
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- Ooh, yeah, lots. - OK, and who chooses them?
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Do you leave it up to individuals, or is there a kind of consensus?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48That's the best meeting of the year, we get together in January
0:14:48 > 0:14:50and bring lots of books, and have some wine and food
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- and choose the books. - Yes, sounds fun.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Let's hope this is fun for you. Will you go first or second?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I think I'll continue to go first, thank you.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I'm not sure this will have been featured in the book club.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Your first question is this.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11The Body In The Library, published in 1942,
0:15:11 > 0:15:15is a detective story featuring which fictional character?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Well, it certainly isn't one we've read in book club,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23and I have to say, I've never heard of it.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25But I'm inclined to think...
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I've never heard of Albert Campion either.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30It doesn't sound like a Sherlock Holmes-type mystery,
0:15:30 > 0:15:32so I'm going to go with Miss Marple.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Miss Marple? It's the right answer,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36yes, Agatha Christie, well done,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38giving you one on the board.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40And Chris, your first question.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Jonathan Buttall is commonly believed to be the subject
0:15:44 > 0:15:46of which 18th-century painting?
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Yes, he's Master Buttall, isn't he?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54He's The Blue Boy. Gainsborough.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59He is. That's the right answer, Chris, yes. On to you, Joanna.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01What was the title of
0:16:01 > 0:16:05the Royal Academy's 1997 controversial exhibition
0:16:05 > 0:16:07that consisted of young British artists' works
0:16:07 > 0:16:10from the collection of Charles Saatchi?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Right, well, my mother was an art teacher,
0:16:15 > 0:16:19so she'll probably not forgive me that I haven't heard of this.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Um... And it's obviously relatively recently.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25I think I'll just have to try and eliminate names here
0:16:25 > 0:16:27and go for the most likely one.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Scene's perhaps the least obvious, I think I'll eliminate that.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Sensation's maybe a bit too sensational,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35so I think I'll go with Spectacle.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40Spectacle, for the young British artists of 1997.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45And the title of the Royal Academy's exhibition that year...
0:16:45 > 0:16:48was not Spectacle, it's incorrect.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Sensation was the title of that exhibition.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55So, bad luck, Joanna. Chris, chance for the lead, then.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57In the novel The Wind In The Willows by Kenneth Grahame,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00what is the name of the wood in which Badger lives?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06That's where you're told not to go, it's the Wild Wood.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09It is. I bet you would've got that, Joanna.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Yes.- It's the way those questions fall.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13OK, well, you need to get this.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17In the Charles Dickens novel A Tale Of Two Cities,
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Sydney Carton is killed on the guillotine
0:17:18 > 0:17:21in place of which character?
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Well, I should know Dickens better than I perhaps do. Um...
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I don't think it's Jarvis Lorry,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35and giving it the name Charles, as in Charles Darnay,
0:17:35 > 0:17:39I think I'll eliminate that one as well, and go for Ernest Defarge.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Ernest Defarge?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Um... It's Charles Darnay.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46It's Charles Darnay, which brings the guillotine down,
0:17:46 > 0:17:48so to speak, on this round.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49It's all over there.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Chris has already got two, you can't match that,
0:17:52 > 0:17:54having failed on two out of your three. Bad luck, Joanna.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56It means you're not playing in the final round.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Chris, you're there. Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Well, I mean, the scoreboard looks worse than the performances.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06So you're three brains down now from the final round,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09all the Eggheads are still there, but don't despair.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10You're playing really well,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13you've got a chance now to knock an Egghead out of the final round.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Last head-to-head before that final round now is Politics.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17LAUGHTER
0:18:17 > 0:18:19And we've got Debra or Hugh available.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- Oh, dear.- That's Debra.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24And do you want to go with...
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- Who do you think? What do you think, down there?- Who should I have?
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Daphne's smiling very sweetly, and I don't know if that's dangerous!
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I think whichever is going to be difficult.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I don't think there's much to choose between them, actually.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I'll have Daphne, because she's smiling so sweetly.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Yeah.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- It's kind of an assassin's smile, really.- Yeah.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Let's have Debra and Daphne into the Question Room, please.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Debra, do you want to go first or second?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Erm, I think I'd like to get it over, so can I go first, please?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Yes, you can go first, and this is your first question.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Who announced his resignation as leader of the Conservative party
0:19:06 > 0:19:08in June 2001?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Already, I'm not quite sure,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16erm...
0:19:16 > 0:19:18but I'm going to go for William Hague.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20OK. Why so?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- I've absolutely no idea.- OK!
0:19:23 > 0:19:24LAUGHTER
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Well, yes, they all have stood down
0:19:27 > 0:19:29as leaders of the Conservative Party,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31but it was William Hague in June 2001, you're right.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Yeah!
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Daphne, in the voting system known as QMV,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41for what does the letter M stand?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Hopefully majority?
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Yep, majority is correct.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49So, it's one apiece.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51And Debra, second question,
0:19:51 > 0:19:55which French politician caused an upset in 2002
0:19:55 > 0:19:59when he beat the incumbent Socialist Prime Minister Lionel Jospin
0:19:59 > 0:20:03to qualify for the second round of the Presidential election?
0:20:07 > 0:20:10I've absolutely no idea,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12so I'm going to do a Daphne,
0:20:12 > 0:20:13and I'm going to guess.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- Raymond Barre, if that's how you say it.- OK.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Well, yeah, Daphne does do a lot of guessing,
0:20:21 > 0:20:23but she does a lot of getting it right through guessing,
0:20:23 > 0:20:25and you haven't done that.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27It's not Raymond Barre. It is, Daphne...?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Jean-Marie Le Pen.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Jean-Marie Le Pen.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34So, that means that you've got a chance for the lead here, Daphne.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Who replaced David Lloyd George as the British Prime Minister?
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Erm...
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Awful, my mind has gone blank.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Right, um...
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Oh, gosh! I'm really sorry. Um...
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Ramsay MacDonald?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01No.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- Is it Bonar Law?- It is Bonar Law.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04I told you!
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Good blank!
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Right, so, both failing on your second question, stays all square.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Everything to play for.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Debra, in January 2011,
0:21:15 > 0:21:18the former Labour MP Oona King was raised to the peerage
0:21:18 > 0:21:21as Baroness King of where?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Again, I haven't got a clue.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I'm going to guess.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Um... Just because it's shouting out at me,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35for no reason whatsoever, Bow.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Bow? Shouting out to you?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I wonder why. It's the right answer.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Right, well, well done,
0:21:41 > 0:21:46well in it now! Got the lead and a potential place in the final round.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Daphne, to stay in the game,
0:21:48 > 0:21:52whose second term as the Prime Minister of Australia
0:21:52 > 0:21:55lasted from 1949 to 1966?
0:22:00 > 0:22:04I think that's Robert Menzies?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- (Yes.)- Yes!
0:22:06 > 0:22:08It is the right answer.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Robert Menzies, Prime Minister of Australia from 1949 to 1966.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16OK, well, we go to sudden death. You're familiar with this, Debra.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18So, you're question is this.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21For what did the letter K stand
0:22:21 > 0:22:26in the name of the 11th US President, James K Polk?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29I was actually looking at the American Presidents just yesterday.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Well, well, well!
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Did you get to the 11th, or did you get that far back?- I did.- Good.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35But I was only looking at the surnames.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39No!
0:22:39 > 0:22:41I'm going to guess Kevin.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45OK, well, Kevin, right, in honour of our Egghead who isn't here.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48James Kevin Polk.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51We have a Presidential expert with us, though, in the studio,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53he is Mr CJ De Mooi.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- Knox.- Knox.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57That anything to do with Fort Knox?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- No.- Right, OK.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Well, a chance for Daphne to go through here.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08The PNP and the JLP have dominated which Caribbean island's politics
0:23:08 > 0:23:11since its independence in the 1960s?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Jamaica?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Jamaica is the right answer, yes.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- Yes.- Began with a J!
0:23:17 > 0:23:20You probably knew from the J, which is the Jamaica Labour Party,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23the PNP is the People's National Party.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I turn to Debra and say really well done,
0:23:25 > 0:23:29bad luck, especially having done the study on your American Presidents.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31That question didn't fall the right way for you.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33It means you're not in the final round.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Well, this is what we've been playing towards,
0:23:39 > 0:23:40it's time for the final round,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43which, as always, is General Knowledge,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:45 > 0:23:48won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51So, Joanna, Debra, Ruth and Linda,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54would you all please leave the studio?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Well, Hugh, when this game started,
0:23:56 > 0:23:58it was one of those rare occasions on Eggheads when we had
0:23:58 > 0:24:01the perfect gender balance, the men matching the women.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Now you've lost 80% of your team,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05we've lost 80% of our female representation.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- Yes, absolutely. - Ah, it's a real pity.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Some of those head-to-heads were really close there,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13but it means, Hugh, you're playing on your own
0:24:13 > 0:24:15to win Psychs Plus £13,000.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19CJ, Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22you're playing for something which money, no amount of it, could buy -
0:24:22 > 0:24:24it is your very reputation.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29this time the questions are General Knowledge,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32and you are allowed to confer.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Hugh, the question is,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- And Hugh, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, Dermot.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45OK, best of luck, and I'm sure as you are aware,
0:24:45 > 0:24:46it has been done quite a few times,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48one on their own beating the Eggheads.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Let's see if you can do it and get £13,000 today for your team.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56First question, Hugh. Housie Housie is another name for which game?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Well, I hope this educated guess is right.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Er, I think that's bingo.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Bingo? And I'll say, bingo, it's the right answer,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10yes. Housie Housie.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14And, Eggheads, prior to decimalisation in 1971,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17how many shillings were there in a pound?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- 20.- 20.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Well, sadly, we all remember this, and it was 20.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25CJ COUGHS
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Yeah, well, I was just thinking that. It is the right answer.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I was thinking, this is one of those kind of questions
0:25:30 > 0:25:34that divides the nation. If you were playing one of those younger teams,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37some of those student teams, they may have struggled on that.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41It's all square, it's one-all, and Hugh's kicked off very nicely,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43easing himself in. Second question, Hugh.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Who took on the role of the Wizard
0:25:46 > 0:25:48in the West End production of The Wizard Of Oz
0:25:48 > 0:25:50when it opened in 2011?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Again, I'm going to have to guess this one.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Erm...
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Michael Ball.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Michael Ball for the Wizard in The Wizard Of Oz...
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Was that a groan?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- It's Michael Crawford, I'm afraid. - It is Michael Crawford,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10not Michael Ball.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14So, a chance for the Eggheads to go into the lead.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17To which island group does Weddell Island belong?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- Weddell?- It's one of the Scillies, isn't it?
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Well, the Weddell Sea is just off Antarctica...
0:26:26 > 0:26:29THEY CONFER
0:26:29 > 0:26:32The Weddell Sea is just off Antarctica.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- So it's the Falklands? - I would suggest it's the Falklands.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38It might be part of the British Antarctic possessions.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- I would agree with you...- It doesn't ring a bell with Seychelles.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45And I don't think it rings a bell with Isles of Scilly.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50Well, we all agreed, and we're going for the Falkland Islands.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Well, you weren't all agreed, initially!
0:26:52 > 0:26:53When we discussed it, we were.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Just a few thousand miles apart, but you got it right.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Falkland Islands, the Weddell Island part of that group.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02So, need to get this, Hugh.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Which building became the London residence of Princess Elizabeth
0:27:06 > 0:27:09and the Duke of Edinburgh in 1949?
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Erm...
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Again, I'm going to guess, St James's Palace.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21St James's Palace?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Well, all those Royal palaces there,
0:27:23 > 0:27:27and they've moved them around a bit since then.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh,
0:27:29 > 0:27:331949, took up residence in...
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Is it St James's Palace, Eggheads, what do you think?- Clarence House.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37It's Clarence House, Hugh.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Which means, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Well, Hugh, as you know, the game was up in those head-to-heads,
0:27:50 > 0:27:52wasn't it? So close in those head-to-heads,
0:27:52 > 0:27:55but they all tipped the Eggheads' way.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Fortunately, it must be said, in some cases, left you on your own
0:27:59 > 0:28:02and not much to work on without your team-mates there,
0:28:02 > 0:28:04who fought so gallantly in those head-to-heads.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07What a sight! Wonderful to see you there.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08Joanna, Debra, Ruth, Linda,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10thank you so much for playing Eggheads today.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Not to be, but nice to have you here.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15That means the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Their winning streak continues.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19I'm afraid you won't be going home with £13,000.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23That means, of course, the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Do join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:29 > 0:28:33to defeat the Eggheads. It's £14,000 that says they don't.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Until then, goodbye.
