0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:29pit their wits against possibly
0:00:29 > 0:00:33the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36And taking on our quiz champions today are the Shelford 5.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39This team of colleagues all work for the same commercial property firm,
0:00:39 > 0:00:43and take their name from the area of Cambridge where their office is based.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Ben, 35, I'm chief executive of a property development company.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm James, I'm 34, and I'm a property surveyor.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Jeff, I'm 35, and I'm a property director.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Chris, I'm 35, and I'm also a property director.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm John, I'm 30, and I'm an associate director.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Well, welcome, Shelford 5,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08and thanks for coming to play the Eggheads today.
0:01:08 > 0:01:14- You're busy guys, do you get to quiz together and socialise together much?- Not very often.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18We've got a few experiences of entering quizzes, but we've never actually won a quiz.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21So, how did you do in these few experiences?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Well, some of the guys go to pub quizzes,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26and they usually finish seventh or eighth out of ten.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Occasionally, er, one of our colleagues was
0:01:29 > 0:01:34University Challenge, but didn't actually make the TV element of it.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36So we're looking to win our first quiz today.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41If you're going to start winning quizzes, this is the place to do it, against the Eggheads.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Nice to see you, Shelford 5.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers,
0:01:46 > 0:01:51however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54So, Shelford 5, the Eggheads have won the last two games,
0:01:54 > 0:01:58that means £3,000 says you can't beat them.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02And our first head-to-head, a chance to knock an Egghead out, is on the subject of History.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04CHALLENGERS LAUGH
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Who likes History? - I'm Entertainment.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- You up for it?- I'm up for it, yeah.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11OK, great. Chris is going to go for History.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16OK, Chris. Now, do you want to play your namesake from the Eggheads, or any of the other four?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Do a Chris-off.- Oh, really? We'll have a Chris-off.- A Chris-off!
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I like that, it makes it nice and easy for me.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Could you both head off to the Question Room, the two Chrises.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30That's to make sure, Shelford Chris, that you can't confer with your team-mates.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- Shelford Chris, do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Yeah, and our first question, then, is this.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44By what method was Archduke Franz Ferdinand killed in 1914?
0:02:47 > 0:02:48I'm a big fan of the band,
0:02:48 > 0:02:52that's the only reason I might know some of this answer.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55I think, Dermot, I'm going to go for shot.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58OK, shot. Which is correct, I'll confirm that.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00And Egghead Chris,
0:03:00 > 0:03:04tell me the significance of the death of the archduke?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Well, it ignited a war, basically, between Serbia and Austria,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09cos he was heir to the Austrian throne,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11which led to Balkan entanglements,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13which led to entanglements with France and Russia,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15which led to the First World War.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Yeah, seen as the incident that started the sequence that led
0:03:19 > 0:03:21to the First World War, as Chris was telling us.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Your question.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Caledonia was the Roman name for which part of the world?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Yeah, that was northern Scotland, Dermot.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Certainly was. Caledonia. Bit of a clue, there.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39And back to the Shelford 5's Chris.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43For how many years was Henry I the King of England?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49I have to say, this is absolute guesswork, no more than that.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I'm going to go for...
0:03:53 > 0:03:5525.
0:03:55 > 0:03:5825. OK, quarter of a century for Henry I.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03- Egghead Chris?- I think he was there for a long time. I think it was 35.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07It was 35. And, right, chance for the lead, then, for the Eggheads.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12Chris, the 2nd Baronet William Congreve, who died in 1828,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15was particularly known for his inventions in which field?
0:04:18 > 0:04:22He was the inventor of the Congreve Rocket, so it's weapons.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25What did the Congreve Rocket do, precisely?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Well, it was a type of artillery.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Imagine a huge version of the bottle rocket we all know about.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33He invented an iron firing frame, and you could use those
0:04:33 > 0:04:35as an artillery barrage.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37They were wildly inaccurate,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39but they were good for putting the wind up the enemy.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41OK, well described, and the right answer.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45And has put the wind up the Shelford 5. Chris, you've got to get this.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48The physician Elizabeth Garrett Anderson
0:04:48 > 0:04:51became the first woman in England to be elected to the office of mayor
0:04:51 > 0:04:53when she became the mayor of where?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I don't think it's Aldeburgh,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02therefore I think it's either Leamington Spa or Truro.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06And...
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Given Spa in the name, I'm going to go for Leamington Spa.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Leamington Spa?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Do you know, Chris, is it Leamington Spa?
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- Change at Saxmundham for Aldeburgh.- It is Aldeburgh.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20So, nothing there for you.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22It means you won't be in the final round.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:05:25 > 0:05:31Eggheads have struck the first blow. The Shelford 5 down to four.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Let's play our next head-to-head. This one is Arts & Books.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Who'd like to take this one?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39It can't be Chris, of course, he's just played.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40It's going to be me.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43It's going to be you. John then is going to take this on.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47You can't play Chris because he's just played. Any of the others?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I think it's irrelevant, actually. I'm going to go with Daphne.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55Daphne! OK, it's going to be John and Daphne contesting this one.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59It's Arts & Books. Into the Question Room, both of you, please.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Do want to go first or second, John?- I'll go first.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06First question.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Eclipse was the third title in which popular series of books?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Er, I think the answer to that is Twilight, Dermot.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22The only reason I know that is, I've seen the films advertised.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- I haven't read the books.- That will do. It's the right answer anyway.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Twilight.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Daphne, which writer coined the phrase, "Good riddance"?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Gosh! I've not heard this.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Oh!
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Shakespeare.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48That's the correct answer. OK.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Well, a good start there from you, John. Your second question.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Jazz, Paradise and Love are novels
0:06:56 > 0:06:59by which Nobel prize-winning American writer?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Dermot, I've got no idea.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10I will go for...Toni Morrison, as a guess.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Toni Morrison. Like Chris, you've got the first one right.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Unlike him, you've got your second one correct as well.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Toni Morrison with a guess there.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Doesn't matter.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26- You're playing against a woman, who's no stranger to world of guessing, are you, Daphne?- No.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30The Spanish romantic writer, Corin Tellado, who died in 2009,
0:07:30 > 0:07:34sold approximately how many books during her lifetime?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Mmm. I have never, ever heard of her.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47If she writes romantic fiction,
0:07:47 > 0:07:51and she sounds Spanish, 400 million?
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Er, you're thinking of the Spanish-speaking world.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59The potential size of the market. It's the right answer.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01A pure guess.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Like Daphne, I hadn't heard of her.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Other Eggheads, have you? Kind of Barbara Cartland.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08If you haven't heard of her,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11you have to assume she's the Spanish equivalent of Barbara Cartland.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Think of the Spanish-speaking world, massive.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19And, er, that's what Daphne did and got the right answer.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21John's got two as well.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25John could potentially get into the final round if you give me a correct answer here.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Which American artist, born in 1938,
0:08:28 > 0:08:32completed his Cold Mountain series of paintings in the early 1990s?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Was it...?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Dermot, you won't be surprised
0:08:39 > 0:08:42when I tell you that I don't know the answer to this.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47Um, and I will go for Jasper Johns for the obvious reason.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Jasper Johns, why the obvious reason?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Sorry, because it's my name.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Oh, OK. John, right.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57It's a bit of a leap. You're not called Jasper.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I'm with it now.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Jasper Johns is not the right answer.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Do you know, Daphne, from those other two?
0:09:06 > 0:09:10No. I've never heard of Brice Marden.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12That's who it is. Brice Marden.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17Cold Mountain paintings. You didn't need that. You need this if you want to get in the final.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Le Bateau Ivre, or The Drunken Boat,
0:09:20 > 0:09:24is an 1871 work by which French poet,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27who stopped writing at about the age of 20
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- and spent the rest of his life travelling?- Is it...
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Um, I know it's not Apollinaire.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41I always get the other two muddled up.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Um...
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Rimbaud.- Rimbaud.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49When Daphne does that, I'm not sure,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I was feel the knife about to be plunged in.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57It has gone between the ribs. It is the right answer.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Rimbaud. Daphne with a guessette.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Choosing between Verlaine and Rimbaud. Getting it right,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06which means it was the wrong answer from your point of view.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09It's ejected you from the game. You're not in the final round.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Well, five now become three.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17The Shelford 5 have lost two brains.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19The Eggheads are all still there.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Is your statement, Ben, at the start of the quiz,
0:10:22 > 0:10:27becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy, not doing too well? Two head-to-heads to go.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31It could be square, if you knock an Egghead out on this round, which is Music.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Who'd like to play this? Who's left?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36James, Jeff or Ben?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Stay in. I'll go. I'll take it.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41From the Eggheads, Chris and Daphne have played,
0:10:41 > 0:10:43so you've got Barry, CJ or Kevin.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Despite my better judgement, I'll take captain advice
0:10:46 > 0:10:48and go for Kevin.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Yeah, it's easy for you to say, Ben,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52but James has to answer the questions.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- I'll challenge Kevin.- OK.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Right, well you've underlined it.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Let's have James and Kevin into the Question Room, please.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Well, James, I can see the team is building here.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Chris got one question correct, John got two.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Now, if you get three,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11that guarantees you at least a sudden death play-off against Kevin.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13It might get you into the final round.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16That's what we're aiming for here. First or second?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I'll definitely go first.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22First question is this.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25In which musical does the central lady sing,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27"I'm in love with a wonderful guy."
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Is it...
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Er, a complete guess. Unfortunately, I only know one musical.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Not my strongest suit, so I'll rule out The Sound Of Music
0:11:37 > 0:11:39and go with My Fair Lady.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- OK, which musical is it you know, James?- The Sound Of Music.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Oh, right. So you could rule that out.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- Hopefully.- Quite right.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49It's South Pacific.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51It's the other one of those two.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53OK, Kevin.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57"Look into my eyes. You will see what you mean to me."
0:11:57 > 0:12:00The opening lines of a UK number one for which singer?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I must admit that's not ringing any bells at all.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09It doesn't sound like Meatloaf,
0:12:09 > 0:12:13but... I don't recognise the lyrics.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Maybe with some music behind them,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19you're going to have to work on the delivery, Dermot, definitely.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Um...
0:12:21 > 0:12:24I'll try Bryan Adams but it could be either.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- I don't recognise the lyrics. - Bryan Adams is correct.- It is?
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- I wondered if it was that. - You don't remember the lyrics.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I'm not going to sing it for you. It would only make it easier.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Everyone would say, "He's better than Bryan Adams! Sign him up."
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- That was what it was! - That's why I won't sing it.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Kevin has forged into the lead after the first exchanges.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46James, let's get you moving.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50What was Bruce Springsteen's first UK number one album? Was it...
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I just don't know the other albums.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Probably I'll go with Born In The USA.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02You'd be right to do so. It's the right answer. You are on the board.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Kevin, the American rapper, born Tremar Dillard,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08became famous under what name?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12I don't recognise it at all, so...
0:13:12 > 0:13:15On the basis I don't think
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I've ever seen Pitbull's real name
0:13:18 > 0:13:21and I think I have seen the real names of the other two,
0:13:21 > 0:13:25I'll go for Pitbull. But I've no confidence whatsoever.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Pitbull. It's not. Daphne, you're holding your head.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Flo Rida.- Flo Rida.- It is, OK.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34It is all square.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37So, chances perhaps for James.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39James, can you get this?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43The prolific German composer, Georg Philipp Telemann,
0:13:43 > 0:13:47whose work included a huge number of church compositions,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49was born in which century?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54I really don't know.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57But the earlier the better, I would imagine.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02I'm certainly tempted by the 17th, but I'm going to go with the 18th.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Uh! It's the 17th.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08You said it, you said it. The earlier the better.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I thought, you're going to go straight in on the 17th.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Then you shifted up the odd 100 years
0:14:14 > 0:14:17and went for the 18th. Kevin...
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Do you know when he was born precisely?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Er... 1685?
0:14:23 > 0:14:261680s. We'll give you that.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28It is 1681.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Doesn't matter. Not your question.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35But, you have slipped up.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39James is still hanging in there. You need to get this to win.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41The jazz musician, Clifford Brown,
0:14:41 > 0:14:46who died at 25, was best known for his expertise on which instrument?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Is it...?
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Clifford Brown.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53There are so many jazz sax players.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54So many jazz piano players,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57for that matter, may be fractionally fewer,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00but trumpet as well, so...
0:15:00 > 0:15:01I'll try piano.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Piano.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05It's not, Kevin. It's incorrect.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Other Eggheads? Anyone?
0:15:07 > 0:15:08- Trumpet?- Trumpet.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- It's trumpet.- OK.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Oh! James,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15if you'd gone for the 17th century
0:15:15 > 0:15:18with Telemann, you would be in the final round
0:15:18 > 0:15:21but that's the ifs and buts. This is the here and now.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24We are in Sudden Death for the first time in the game.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26That means, James, we remove those options
0:15:26 > 0:15:29so if you need to guess, which I suspect you might...
0:15:29 > 0:15:31THEY BOTH LAUGH
0:15:31 > 0:15:33..it's quite a lot harder.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36I can't give you anything to have a look at. Here's your question.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39According to the lyrics of Johnny Cash's song
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Folsom Prison Blues, in which US city
0:15:41 > 0:15:44did the narrator shoot a man just to watch him die?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Let me think. I'm going to have a complete stab.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Just...
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Harlem?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Harlem?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57It's not, but correct to have a guess.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I'll go to our karaoke king here, Chris,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02because it's a bit of a karaoke favourite, isn't it?
0:16:02 > 0:16:07- (DRAWLS)- # I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die. #
0:16:07 > 0:16:10There, you've got it. It's Reno. Reno, Nevada,
0:16:10 > 0:16:12where the narrator says
0:16:12 > 0:16:15he shot a man just to watch him die.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19OK, well, it's Kevin's chance now to take the round as he's had before.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Kevin, which band, formed in Dublin,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26reached number two in the UK singles charts in 2008
0:16:26 > 0:16:28with The Man Who Can't Be Moved?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Another one I don't know
0:16:31 > 0:16:32so, um...
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Try a recent Irish band, I'll try The Script.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38It's the right answer, Kevin.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40The Script is correct.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Oh, dear, James!
0:16:42 > 0:16:45So close. But not to be.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:16:48 > 0:16:54Well, a really unlucky James there, with his 17th and 18th century.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57No doubt you'll be looking at the works of Telemann
0:16:57 > 0:17:00with a new interest after that. It just didn't happen for you
0:17:00 > 0:17:04so the Shelford 5 have lost three brains from the final round
0:17:04 > 0:17:06and all the Eggheads intact.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Our last head-to-head before the final round is Sport.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I know you were hoping that would come up, guys.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Jeff or Ben there can play it. Sport.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Go on, Ben.- Yeah, go on, Ben.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18I'll have a go at that.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23The remaining players there are CJ or Barry.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Let's take CJ down.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Take CJ down!
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Oh, so some confidence now! Here we have it.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- Not really!- Ben and CJ, then, into the Question Room, please.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Ben, as I was saying before you went into the Question Room,
0:17:36 > 0:17:40good to see a bit of bite now there, a bit of confidence building.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Let's put it to the test with this Sport round.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Do you want to go first or second, Ben?- I'll go first, please.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50This is your first question, Ben.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Clive Woodward first played test match rugby union
0:17:53 > 0:17:55for England in which year?
0:17:59 > 0:18:00I think he's in his 50s
0:18:00 > 0:18:05so he probably played about 30 years ago
0:18:05 > 0:18:08so I'm going to go for...
0:18:08 > 0:18:091980.
0:18:09 > 0:18:101980.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Yes, and we all know what he did on his retirement,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16capturing the World Cup as he coached England,
0:18:16 > 0:18:18but played for them first
0:18:18 > 0:18:20in 1980, it's the right answer.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26And CJ, the Brazilian footballer Ronaldo, born in 1976,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28is most associated with which position?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33If he's the one I'm thinking of,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36he looks weird and he's got an unfeasibly attractive wife.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39So I'm going to guess at striker.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44OK, well, if this ever makes it in front of Ronaldo,
0:18:44 > 0:18:48our apologies for CJ's physical descriptions of you
0:18:48 > 0:18:51but it is the right answer. Yes, striker is correct.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53And over to Ben.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58Jade Dernbach has represented England at which sport?
0:19:00 > 0:19:04I've met him, actually, so I can say with confidence that it's cricket.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Very good! Where did you meet him?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08We were at a corporate cricket day at the Oval.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I think I might have got him out.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12LAUGHTER
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I say, you're very different from your team-mates there.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- It's all false. - Well, it doesn't matter.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21You're doing really well. Two out of two. CJ's second question.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24In which sport did Jen McIntosh
0:19:24 > 0:19:28win two gold medals for Scotland at the 2012 Commonwealth Games?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I haven't heard of her, I'm afraid.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37But I'll rule out gymnastics.
0:19:37 > 0:19:43Um...I think the Scots have a good Olympic history of shooting
0:19:43 > 0:19:44so I'll try shooting.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Shooting is correct.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Good Olympic history. Good Commonwealth Games history too
0:19:49 > 0:19:51so landed that, CJ.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53It's two-all. And Ben.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56In 2011, who became the first female jockey
0:19:56 > 0:19:59to win a Group One race outright in Britain
0:19:59 > 0:20:02as she landed the July Cup at Newmarket on Dream Ahead?
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Well, not too far away from you in Newmarket, is it?
0:20:10 > 0:20:14It's not, no, but I'm not massively into my horse racing.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18I've a sneaky suspicion it's Hayley Turner, though, so I'll go for that.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Hayley Turner...
0:20:20 > 0:20:21is the right answer!
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Right, well, as I said to James,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26if you do that, you're guaranteed
0:20:26 > 0:20:29at least a round of Sudden Death
0:20:29 > 0:20:32but perhaps a place in the final round,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35depending on the answer I receive here.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36CJ, the British athlete
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Chris Tomlinson is a leading name in which field event?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44He's a long jumper.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46He is! All right, you knew that
0:20:46 > 0:20:48so we are into Sudden Death. It's all square.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Neither player has blinked, so to speak,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53and Ben, you know what Sudden Death means.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Which football team defeated Manchester United
0:20:56 > 0:20:58in the 2011 Champions League Final?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I think that was...
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Barcelona.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Barcelona treated us
0:21:04 > 0:21:09to a masterclass in 2011, it is the right answer, you are correct,
0:21:09 > 0:21:11defeating Manchester United there
0:21:11 > 0:21:13to take the Champions League trophy.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15And CJ, the cricketer Gary Kirsten
0:21:15 > 0:21:19played 101 test matches for which country?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21It's going to be one of the big three.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24We're going for South Africa, Australia or New Zealand, aren't we?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Guess Australia?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Daphne?
0:21:31 > 0:21:32South Africa.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34South Africa, CJ. South Africa,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36which means you've done it, Ben!
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Whoa!
0:21:38 > 0:21:41The very last round in the head-to-heads.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44You've made it through. You're playing in the final round.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:21:47 > 0:21:51This is what we've been playing towards - time for the final round,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53which as always, is General Knowledge,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:56 > 0:21:58won't be taking part in this round.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01So James, Chris and John from the Shelford 5
0:22:01 > 0:22:02and CJ from the Eggheads,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05would you leave the studio, please?
0:22:06 > 0:22:09So, Ben and Jeff, you're playing to win the Shelford 5 £3,000.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Kevin, Daphne, Chris and Barry,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14you're playing for something which money cannot buy.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16It's the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Now, as usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22The questions are all general knowledge and you may confer.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25That's why your victory was so important, Ben. Ben and Jeff,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27the question is, are your two brains
0:22:27 > 0:22:29better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Do you want to go first or second?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33We'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Ben and Jeff, first question.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Tom Pellereau found fame in 2011
0:22:41 > 0:22:43when he won the seventh series of which TV show?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Didn't a girl win The Apprentice?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I can't remember. I didn't watch this one.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Or is it The Apprentice?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I think it might be, actually.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Yeah, I think you're more likely to win fame on The Apprentice.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04I think it's about seven years old as well.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Hmm. Yep.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Yep. We'll go for The Apprentice
0:23:08 > 0:23:10as we think it's about seven years old.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11OK, doing it by that route,
0:23:11 > 0:23:15can't actually remember that series, wondering if a woman won it,
0:23:15 > 0:23:16but you're right.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18It was Tom Pellereau.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Well identified by the guys there,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23The Apprentice, a win for Tom Pellereau in 2011.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26And Eggheads, what game is being played
0:23:26 > 0:23:30by the little girl Carole Hersee and her companion Bubbles the clown
0:23:30 > 0:23:34on the famous BBC Test Card F, first used in 1967?
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Oh, the hours we've all spent staring at that screen
0:23:42 > 0:23:45when she was playing noughts and crosses.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Noughts and crosses is correct.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49It's all square. Well,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51back to you, Ben and Jeff.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55In 1972, John Betjeman revived the tradition of the Poet Laureate,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58receiving what in addition to a small salary?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05I don't think it's a jar of honey.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Dunno why. I haven't got an intelligent reason.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10My gut feeling was barrel of sherry.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12That would be worth winning, as well.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- Shall we go for barrel of sherry? - I think so.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Er, Dermot, it's a guess, to be honest.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21We think it's a barrel of sherry.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22A barrel of sherry.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24It's the right answer.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- Yes!- Well done.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28All right. Your question, Eggheads,
0:24:28 > 0:24:29second question.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33The Tudor mansion Sutton Place near Guildford in Surrey
0:24:33 > 0:24:36was from 1959 until his death in 1976
0:24:36 > 0:24:39the home of which American industrialist?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47The interesting thing about Sutton Place was,
0:24:47 > 0:24:49it was owned by Jean Paul Getty,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52who was just about one of the richest men in the world at the time,
0:24:52 > 0:24:54but he had payphones installed.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Because he didn't like his guests having free phone calls.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59Is that the truth?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- Yes.- That's a great story.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04So you're going for Jean Paul Getty
0:25:04 > 0:25:06and it is the right answer. Well done, Eggheads.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Well, quizzing really well here, Ben and Jeff.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14It's two-all against the Eggheads. What will happen after this answer?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17The father of which British Prime Minister
0:25:17 > 0:25:18was well known as a writer
0:25:18 > 0:25:23and had success with his publication Curiosities Of Literature?
0:25:26 > 0:25:29The father of one of these guys.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30I would, um...
0:25:30 > 0:25:33If I was sitting here on my own, I'd guess Disraeli.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- Would you?- Disraeli, yeah.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38I haven't got a gut feel at all, so if you've one, we should go with it.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41A minor gut feel, but we may as well have a crack.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Dermot, you won't be surprised
0:25:43 > 0:25:46to hear that we're having a guess at this one.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Disraeli.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Disraeli.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- Very good guess. It's correct. - Well done.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53It wasn't really a guess.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Disraeli. Not really a guess.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56Of course, you knew that
0:25:56 > 0:25:59and Disraeli, the Prime Minister Disraeli, of course,
0:25:59 > 0:26:02a novelist of some note himself, wasn't he?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Yep. This was his father Isaac. - Isaac Disraeli,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08identified by the Eggheads there. You didn't need to do that
0:26:08 > 0:26:12but Eggheads, you need to get this or Ben and Jeff have beaten you.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Cyclone: My Story is an autobiography by which boxer?
0:26:19 > 0:26:24Cyclone: My Story is an autobiography by which boxer?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Well, Barry McGuigan was known as
0:26:26 > 0:26:28the Clones Cyclone
0:26:28 > 0:26:30so it has to be Barry McGuigan.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Barry McGuigan is correct. We go to Sudden Death.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37You know what that means.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40No more choices to look at. Ben and Jeff, can you tell me,
0:26:40 > 0:26:44in May 2009, who, at the age of 65,
0:26:44 > 0:26:48became the oldest Briton to climb Mount Everest?
0:26:48 > 0:26:49I think it's Ranulph Fiennes.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52But I don't know. I know he did it earlier.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Dermot, we think it's Ranulph Fiennes.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56Ranulph Fiennes
0:26:56 > 0:26:59is correct, yes! Well done, at the age of 65.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Give me his full name, Eggheads.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05You've done it, yes!
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Topping Mount Everest there at retirement age.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15And Eggheads, you need to get this, then.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19The footballer Peter Crouch married which model in 2011?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22This...
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Wasn't this one where the engagement was almost called off?
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Got any idea, any Christian names?
0:27:30 > 0:27:33I'm thinking... She may be one of the others, I don't know,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- but I'm thinking some Abby something, but I...- Ah.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Abby's right.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40But I can't remember the surname.
