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?

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34And challenging our resident quiz champions today

0:00:34 > 0:00:37are Where Egales Dare.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40Now this team of colleagues all work for the same car finance company

0:00:40 > 0:00:43and take their name from the building where they're based.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.

0:00:44 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Andy, I'm 50 and I'm a brand manager.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Marcus, I'm 54 and a national sales manager.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Mark, I'm 46 and I'm a national training manager.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Mike, I'm 38 and I'm an account manager.

0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Nick, I'm 49, I'm also an account manager.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06Welcome to you, Where Egales Dare.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08I must say when I first saw your team name,

0:01:08 > 0:01:11I thought this lot are illiterate, they'll never do any good!

0:01:11 > 0:01:14But that'll be the name of the building then?

0:01:14 > 0:01:18Very much so, Dermot. Yes, it's actually means "equal" in French

0:01:18 > 0:01:21which I'm sure Judith knows. And working for a French company,

0:01:21 > 0:01:23it's very appropriate.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26I suppose thinking about it, it should be "egal", Where "Egals" Dare

0:01:26 > 0:01:28if we're going for the French pronunciation.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31We'll stay with Egales there though, much preferable.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34And the quizzing, any go on at work or socially?

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Yes, we all quiz at work.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40In actual fact, our HR director is threatening to ban us!

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Which isn't boastful.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Whether it's a comment on our colleagues I'm not sure

0:01:44 > 0:01:46but yes, we do quiz regularly in work.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50OK, well, maybe when they see how well you do against the Eggheads...

0:01:50 > 0:01:54- Indeed.- ..they'll let it continue. Best of luck, Where Egales Dare.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs

0:01:57 > 0:02:00for our challengers. However if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:02:00 > 0:02:02the prize-money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06So, Where Egales Dare, the Eggheads have won just the last game

0:02:06 > 0:02:10so that means £2,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14We'll play our first head-to-head then and this will be Science.

0:02:14 > 0:02:15And who wants to play this,

0:02:15 > 0:02:18and which Egghead would you like to take on?

0:02:18 > 0:02:22- OK.- Any suggestions?- That's going to be me, isn't it?- Got to be Andy.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Wide topic. - Definitely me? Yep?- Got to be him.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28- That'll be me, Dermot.- Oh all right, Andy. All the way up to you

0:02:28 > 0:02:29and any Egghead awaits.

0:02:29 > 0:02:33- I'll take on Judith, please. - OK, Judith on Science.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37It's going to be Andy and Judy... Judy! I quite like calling you that.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Well, don't do it twice.- OK...

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Oh, hoo hoo hoo!

0:02:41 > 0:02:44We have been warned, that's never happening ever again!

0:02:44 > 0:02:47OK, Jud-ITH and Andrew,

0:02:47 > 0:02:50would you like to play this round from the Question Room, please,

0:02:50 > 0:02:54just to make sure you can't confer with your teammates.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58Well, team captain Andy kicking off for Where Egales Dare.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please, Dermot.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07OK first and it's Science and this is your question then.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11What is the chemical symbol for calcium? Is it...?

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Well, chemistry was always my worst subject in school

0:03:16 > 0:03:19- so not a good start for me. - Oh, right.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23Um, I think C is carbon, I could be wrong.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27I'm not sure what Cm is but I'll plump for the middle one, Ca.

0:03:27 > 0:03:28Ca, calcium...

0:03:28 > 0:03:31..is correct, yes, well done.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35- Can you Eggheads enlighten Andy about Cm then?- Curium.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Curium, there we are. OK, Judith.

0:03:37 > 0:03:41What name is given to the branch of physics that deals with the forces

0:03:41 > 0:03:45acting upon or exerted by liquids in motion?

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Is it...?

0:03:50 > 0:03:54Well, I think hydrostatics would be the liquids staying still,

0:03:54 > 0:04:01wouldn't it? Hydrotherapies, that's curing... Hydrodynamics.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Hydrodynamics is your choice. It's the right answer, yes, Judith.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06One each and back to Andy.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10What does an odometer measure?

0:04:12 > 0:04:15I don't think it's time.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20I think it'd have some chronological reference to it on that.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Light - again, I'm not sure about.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26I'll go down the middle again and I'll go for distance.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Rather appropriate given the company you work for.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33You may be in the finance side of things working for a car firm.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37It is distance. Yes, well done. Judith, your question.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40Where on a bird at its barbules located?

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Barbules...

0:04:44 > 0:04:48I don't think it's claws and I immediately thought beak

0:04:48 > 0:04:50but then I thought about feathers as well.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Um...

0:04:53 > 0:04:54There's a part of me which thinks

0:04:54 > 0:04:56it's what makes the feathers sort of stick together.

0:04:58 > 0:05:04On the other hand...barbels on fish are on their faces, more or less.

0:05:04 > 0:05:09Oh, dear. Barbules... I think I'm going to say feathers, actually.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12- Feathers?- Mm.- Pleasing your teammates, it's the right answer.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Yes, feathers. Judith's right there.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17What function do they perform on the wing?

0:05:17 > 0:05:20I think Judith was right, I think they're tiny little hooks

0:05:20 > 0:05:23on the feathers that keep them together.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26OK, right, barbules there identified by Judith.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28So both going tremendously well here.

0:05:28 > 0:05:33Andy, what type of creatures belong to the Orthoptera order?

0:05:37 > 0:05:41- I have to say, I haven't the faintest idea on this one, Dermot.- OK!

0:05:41 > 0:05:45"Ortho" to me sounds more dentistry which quite clearly doesn't help.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49Thinking about it, "ortho", I don't think marsupials and insects

0:05:49 > 0:05:50are known for their teeth

0:05:50 > 0:05:54but I think rodents are so I'm going to take a stab at rodents.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57OK, yeah. Well, going down the teeth route,

0:05:57 > 0:05:59I can see what you're doing there, Orthoptera.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03It's not right though. We'll get the Eggheads to explain.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Do you know of the other two, Judith?- Is it insects?

0:06:06 > 0:06:10It is insects. So why was Andy wrong there, Eggheads?

0:06:10 > 0:06:15- "Optera" - wings.- "Optera"? - They're dragonflies.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18Dragonflies, OK. What about the "ortho" bit, is that teeth?

0:06:18 > 0:06:20- No. It's to do with... - It misled Andy.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23I think it means that the wings go out at right angles to the body.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27Ah, OK. A chance to win the round then. Judith,

0:06:27 > 0:06:32which mathematician established much of graph theory and topology

0:06:32 > 0:06:34by finding the solution to a puzzle

0:06:34 > 0:06:36called the Konigsberg bridge problem? Is it...?

0:06:41 > 0:06:42Oh, um...

0:06:44 > 0:06:48I'm just thinking, Konigsberg bridge.

0:06:48 > 0:06:49I'm just wondering if that was...

0:06:51 > 0:06:55Didn't Kepler...? Wasn't he in Prague or something?

0:06:55 > 0:06:59Maybe there was a bridge there. Oh, dear. I don't know.

0:06:59 > 0:07:05I really don't know. I wish I knew. I'm going to go for Kepler.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09It's not Johannes Kepler, no, it's not.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13- The other two, Eggheads?- It's Euler. - Mm-hmm.- Euler?

0:07:13 > 0:07:16- Euler.- What was the Konigsberg bridge problem?

0:07:16 > 0:07:18There were seven bridges in Konigsberg and the question was,

0:07:18 > 0:07:21is it possible to go through all of them only once

0:07:21 > 0:07:22crossing over the river?

0:07:22 > 0:07:25I can't even begin... Right, all right, yeah. Is it?

0:07:25 > 0:07:28- It's not possible. - No, so that was the answer.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Have you lot done this? Do you sit around in the pub together going,

0:07:31 > 0:07:35"Let's do the Konigsberg bridge problem cos it's so much fun"?

0:07:35 > 0:07:37I'm not sure they survive today.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39It's now called Kaliningrad, it's on the Baltic, the city.

0:07:39 > 0:07:44- Right.- But people used to have goes on their feet, they had a walk.

0:07:44 > 0:07:45You could just draw it?

0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Yes, you can draw it and that's easier.- Yeah.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50There wasn't much going on at night-time!

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Right! Why do I ask, why do I ask? Oh!

0:07:53 > 0:07:57OK, well, it's all square. That's great news.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59You're still in it, Andy. We go to Sudden Death.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01We're taking away the choices there.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05How many plain faces does an octahedron have?

0:08:07 > 0:08:11Well, the name implies eight, is an eight-sided shape.

0:08:13 > 0:08:20It sounds a bit obvious to me. I'll take a guess at 80.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23- 80?- 8-0.- 8-0.

0:08:23 > 0:08:28Oh, dear. No, it was the obvious, it was eight. Eight, not 80.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30And Judith,

0:08:30 > 0:08:32which part of the human body takes its name

0:08:32 > 0:08:36from the Italian anatomist Gabriel Fallopius?

0:08:36 > 0:08:38I suppose it's your Fallopian tubes so...

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Well, it's either your ovaries or your...

0:08:43 > 0:08:47- Well, it's your Fallopian tubes. Must be.- Is that the answer?- Yes.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Fallopian tubes is correct.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54Yes, well, the other one was obvious but Andy thought it was too obvious

0:08:54 > 0:08:58to his detriment, I'm afraid.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Andy, you're not playing in the final round. Judith, you are,

0:09:01 > 0:09:03would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:09:05 > 0:09:06Well, first round to the Eggheads.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10It means Where Egales Dare have lost one brain from the final round.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13And let's play another round here then

0:09:13 > 0:09:16and this head-to-head is going to be on Film & Television.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Who'd like to play? It can't be Andy.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22- OK.- It's me.- Yeah.- Yeah.- Nick. - Who do you reckon I should play with?

0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Who do you think?- I think take on Chris.- Chris?- Yeah, OK.

0:09:25 > 0:09:31Dermot, I'm playing and I would like to play against Chris, please.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Well, your wish will be granted.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36Nick and Chris, into the Question Room, please.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39All right, Nick. Andy got very close there.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Let's see if you can just go the odd question further

0:09:41 > 0:09:43and get into the final round, knock Chris out.

0:09:43 > 0:09:48- Do you want to go first or second? - I will go first, please, Dermot.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Best of luck, Nick. Here's your first question then

0:09:54 > 0:09:58on Film & Television. Who played Fletcher in the TV sitcom, Porridge?

0:10:01 > 0:10:07One of my favourite comedy series and one of my favourite comedy actors

0:10:07 > 0:10:12although all three of them I notice were in the series.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15It is...Ronnie Barker.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Yeah, Ronnie Barker, in the lead role there, I suppose.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21It's the right answer, yes. And Chris your first question.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25The Mad Max series of films are set in which country?

0:10:27 > 0:10:31They are set in a post-apocalyptic version of Australia.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34It's the right answer, yes. Australia.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36OK, your second question, Nick.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40What relation is Jane Fonda to the actress Bridget Fonda?

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Oh, so many Fondas. Um...

0:10:48 > 0:10:54Jane Fonda is definitely not Bridget's mother.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58She's considerably older...

0:11:00 > 0:11:04so I'm ruling out cousin and plumping for aunt, Dermot.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08Aunt, tricky one to negotiate. Successfully, it must be said.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10It's correct.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13Jane and Bridget Fonda - aunt and niece.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Chris, in 2011, Marcus du Sautoy

0:11:16 > 0:11:19presented which television documentary series?

0:11:24 > 0:11:30Well, it's not Coast, cos that's Nick Crane and various other people.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33It's not How Do They Do It? So it's The Code.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37It is The Code, that's correct. It's 2-2 again

0:11:37 > 0:11:40and will it become 3-3?

0:11:40 > 0:11:44Nick, who directed the 1944 film, Meet Me In St Louis?

0:11:52 > 0:11:59Ooh. Before my time, even though I look fairly ancient, Dermot.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Not Vincente Minnelli.

0:12:04 > 0:12:10Billy Wilder or Frank Capra... I'm going to plump for Frank Capra.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Frank Capra, with Meet Me In St Louis.

0:12:12 > 0:12:17It's not Frank Capra. It is... Chris?

0:12:17 > 0:12:21It is Vincente Minnelli where he met Judy Garland,

0:12:21 > 0:12:24and they got married and produced Liza Minnelli,

0:12:24 > 0:12:26- Liza with a Z. - Liza, with a Z. Yeah, I remember.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29Vincente Minnelli, the one you ruled out, Nick.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31So a chance then for Chris to win the round. Chris,

0:12:31 > 0:12:34who played Sherman McCoy

0:12:34 > 0:12:37in the 1990 film adaptation of The Bonfire Of The Vanities?

0:12:41 > 0:12:46Yeah, Bonfire... Well, it wasn't Morgan Freeman.

0:12:46 > 0:12:51Er... That would've been Tom Hanks, surely?

0:12:51 > 0:12:52- Tom Hanks?- Mm.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Just looking down the ranks of the other Eggheads.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Yeah?- Yeah.- Nodding along.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00It is the right answer, yes, Tom Hanks in Bonfire Of The Vanities

0:13:00 > 0:13:03as Sherman McCoy. Oh, bad luck, Nick.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06Just slipped up there on Vincente Minnelli.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09It means, Chris, you're playing in the final round at Nick's expense.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:13:13 > 0:13:14Well, as it stands,

0:13:14 > 0:13:17Where Egales Dare have lost two brains from the final round.

0:13:17 > 0:13:21The Eggheads are all there at this point.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24And our third head-to-head coming up now...is Politics.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- CHALLENGERS BREATHE HEAVILY - Who'd like to play?

0:13:27 > 0:13:32I see, very, very eager there(!) Five heads hitting the desk!

0:13:32 > 0:13:36- What do you reckon? - Got to be Marcus, hasn't it?- Yeah.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38It's got to be you. Sorry, mate!

0:13:38 > 0:13:41- OK.- Take on Barry.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45I've been proposed as being the political scapegoat

0:13:45 > 0:13:47and I'd like to take on Barry, please.

0:13:47 > 0:13:53OK, well, Marcus the scapegoat! Playing Barry.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Let's hope he's the scapegoat for the Eggheads.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Let's see you get through, Marcus.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Would you both please go to the Question Room?

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Well, Nick and Andy have been unlucky in the last two rounds.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07Marcus, let's hope the luck they didn't have comes your way.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Would you like to go first or second?

0:14:09 > 0:14:11I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16It's Politics then and this is your first question.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20Which term is said to have been coined by Theodore Roosevelt

0:14:20 > 0:14:23to describe extreme members of an organisation?

0:14:27 > 0:14:30I'll dispense with the Barmy Army immediately,

0:14:30 > 0:14:34I think that is more to do with cricket or football

0:14:34 > 0:14:36and the people who follow.

0:14:36 > 0:14:41Flash mob, I'm not inclined to go towards there so I would...

0:14:41 > 0:14:43I'll say lunatic fringe, please.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44Lunatic fringe.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48Do you think they had a version of Eggheads around in those days?

0:14:48 > 0:14:51- LAUGHTER - It's perfect, isn't it?

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Just thinking!

0:14:53 > 0:14:55It's the right answer, yes. Lunatic fringe.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58OK, Barry.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01What is Ed Miliband's full first name?

0:15:04 > 0:15:07Ooh, this is one of those questions that the moment you hear it

0:15:07 > 0:15:09you think, "Oh, that's easy,"

0:15:09 > 0:15:12and then you start thinking about the three names that are up there.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16It has to be Edward.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19- Is that your answer?- Yes. - Edward is right, yes.

0:15:19 > 0:15:23There you are, one each. And Marcus, second question.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25In which year did Dick Whittington

0:15:25 > 0:15:30begin his third and last term as Lord Mayor of London?

0:15:34 > 0:15:39Hmm. Politics isn't one of my greatest inspirations

0:15:39 > 0:15:43and history is probably my second least inspiration.

0:15:43 > 0:15:44Um...

0:15:47 > 0:15:50I would... I'll go for 1519, please, Dermot.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52OK, 1519.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Dates are what the Eggheads enjoy. 1519 for Dick Whittington?

0:15:55 > 0:15:59- 14.- 14.- 14, 14 from Judith down the end.

0:15:59 > 0:16:031419, I'm afraid, Marcus. So not correct.

0:16:03 > 0:16:061419. Chance for the lead, Barry.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Number One Observatory Circle is the official residence

0:16:09 > 0:16:13of the holder of which American political office? Is it...?

0:16:16 > 0:16:19I believe that's the Vice President.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21- The VP?- Mm-hmm.- Is the right answer.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Yes, the Vice President resides officially

0:16:23 > 0:16:25at Number One Observatory Circle.

0:16:25 > 0:16:29OK, you have a lead and Marcus needs this then.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Marcus, Nigel West is a name used by which

0:16:32 > 0:16:35former Conservative MP for writing books about espionage?

0:16:41 > 0:16:44The answer doesn't come to my mind immediately. Um...

0:16:47 > 0:16:54Neil Hamilton I would probably dispel in terms of espionage. I would...

0:16:54 > 0:16:56I'll be proposing Virginia Bottomley, please, Dermot.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59Virginia Bottomley, OK.

0:16:59 > 0:17:03Going for a male name. Nigel West, do you think?

0:17:03 > 0:17:07It's not though, it's not Virginia Bottomley. It is...

0:17:07 > 0:17:11It is male, it is Rupert Allason Rupert Allason is Nigel West.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14I'm afraid we end our proceedings there then

0:17:14 > 0:17:17because Barry has already got two, it's a score

0:17:17 > 0:17:20you can't attempt to match. Only got one out of three,

0:17:20 > 0:17:22you won't be in the final round. Barry, you will.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Would you please come back and join your teams?

0:17:26 > 0:17:30Well no Egghead gone yet, Where Egales Dare.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32You've lost three brains from the final round

0:17:32 > 0:17:36so we have our last head-to-head today. This one is Sport.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38So who'd like to play, Mark or Mike?

0:17:38 > 0:17:40I think Mike.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42- I'll play that one, please. - All right, Mark.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Judith, glad she's already played, I think!- Who are we going for?

0:17:45 > 0:17:48Who do you want to play from the Eggheads, from Pat or Daphne?

0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Just go with Pat. - I'd like to play Pat, please.

0:17:52 > 0:17:53OK, Pat it is then. Let's have

0:17:53 > 0:17:57Mark and Pat into the Question Room, both of you please.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Well, Mark, I know you like your sport.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01Used to be a professional footballer, didn't you?

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Yeah, a long time ago, Dermot, yes.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05OK, but still obviously keeping fit there.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please, Dermot.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13OK, good luck, Mark. Here you go.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16Which golfer won the 2011 Open Championship?

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Shame Marcus didn't get this question

0:18:21 > 0:18:23cos he's quite friendly with him, I think.

0:18:23 > 0:18:27It's not Tiger Woods. I don't think it's Sergio Garcia,

0:18:27 > 0:18:29I'll go for Darren Clarke.

0:18:29 > 0:18:33Another of those fantastic golfers, Darren from Northern Ireland.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36It's the right answer. Yes, Darren Clarke

0:18:38 > 0:18:43Pat, which sport forms the middle leg of an Olympic triathlon? Is it...?

0:18:47 > 0:18:51I watched a mini-triathlon recently on telly.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54I'm hoping the Olympics follows the same arrangement.

0:18:54 > 0:18:59They swim, they cycle and they run so the middle section is cycling.

0:18:59 > 0:19:04Cycling is correct, yes, well done. Your next question, Mark.

0:19:04 > 0:19:09In which decade did Ayrton Senna begin his Formula One career? Is it...?

0:19:13 > 0:19:15It's not the 60's, I think.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Was it late 70's or 80's?

0:19:27 > 0:19:29I'm going to go with the 70's.

0:19:29 > 0:19:33OK, the 1970's for the Formula One career. No,

0:19:33 > 0:19:37that didn't start until the 80's. The mid-1980's to be precise.

0:19:37 > 0:19:421984, I think he started out as a kid with go-karts

0:19:42 > 0:19:44which gives Pat a chance for the lead here.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47Pat, the former England footballer Tony Adams

0:19:47 > 0:19:49usually played in which position?

0:19:53 > 0:19:57I think he now manages a team in Azerbaijan

0:19:57 > 0:19:59but he was a very resolute defender.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02Defender.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05Yes, is the right answer. Well done, Pat. I'm sure Mark knew that as well

0:20:05 > 0:20:10but it didn't come your way, Mark. This is to try and stay in the game.

0:20:10 > 0:20:15In 2008, which England spin bowler became only the second player

0:20:15 > 0:20:19in Test history to take two wickets in his first Test over? Is it...?

0:20:23 > 0:20:27Well, Ryan Sidebottom's not a spinner so it discounts him.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29James Tredwell, I don't think so.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31I'll go with Graeme Swann, please, Dermot.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35Graeme Swann is correct. You are still in it.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40And Pat, the England rugby player Manu Tuilagi

0:20:40 > 0:20:42was born in which country?

0:20:45 > 0:20:48My first thought is I think he's Samoan but that might not be enough

0:20:48 > 0:20:52to sort it out for me because a large number of people

0:20:52 > 0:20:58born in New Zealand actually regard themselves as Polynesians but...

0:20:58 > 0:21:00I don't think he's Fijian.

0:21:00 > 0:21:04I think I've heard of him described as Samoan

0:21:04 > 0:21:08- so I'll keep it simple and go for Samoa.- Samoa.

0:21:08 > 0:21:13Of course, came to notoriety during England's failed World Cup bid

0:21:13 > 0:21:15in 2011, didn't he?

0:21:15 > 0:21:18Where he jumped off a ferry as it was coming into dock in New Zealand.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20Jumped off a ferry, swam ashore.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23I remember the headlines the next day, "Manu Overboard."

0:21:23 > 0:21:25- Ooh!- Oh!- Oh, how we laughed(!)

0:21:26 > 0:21:29Yes, though, Pat. It IS Samoa,

0:21:29 > 0:21:33Manu Tuilagi was born there. Plays for England now, of course.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Which means...well, you're overboard too,

0:21:35 > 0:21:38Mark, you won't be in the final round.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:21:41 > 0:21:44Well, now, this is what we've been playing towards.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48It's time for the final round which as always is General Knowledge

0:21:48 > 0:21:50but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:21:50 > 0:21:52won't be allowed to take part in this round

0:21:52 > 0:21:54so Andy, Marcus, Mark and Nick

0:21:54 > 0:21:58from Where Egales Dare, leave the studio now, please.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04So Mike, you are playing to win Where Egales Dare £2,000.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Daphne, Chris, Barry, Pat and Judith - a lot of Eggheads,

0:22:07 > 0:22:09you're playing for something money can't buy -

0:22:09 > 0:22:12the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14As usual I'll ask each team three questions in turn

0:22:14 > 0:22:18and this time, Mike, the questions are all General Knowledge

0:22:18 > 0:22:22and although you can't benefit from it, you are allowed to confer!

0:22:22 > 0:22:24So Mike, the question is,

0:22:24 > 0:22:27is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Mike, do you want to go first or second?

0:22:29 > 0:22:30I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36OK, good luck, Mike. Your first question.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40Able Rate is a rank in which of the armed forces? Is it...?

0:22:43 > 0:22:48Um... Thinking about the possible options,

0:22:48 > 0:22:52I haven't ever heard the term used within the RAF.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55I have had family that have been in the RAF.

0:22:55 > 0:22:59Again, the Army doesn't really spring to mind as a choice

0:22:59 > 0:23:04but I have heard the rating described before as an Able Seaman

0:23:04 > 0:23:06so I'm going to go Royal Navy.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08On the "Able" bit... Yeah, it's the right answer.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11The Royal Navy, well done and a good start.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14Yeah Able Seaman but Able Rate.

0:23:14 > 0:23:18- Well, they are naval ratings, aren't they?- Ratings?- Yeah.

0:23:18 > 0:23:22OK, Eggheads, your first question. According to the proverb,

0:23:22 > 0:23:27"If ifs and ands were pots and pans there'd be no work for..." who?

0:23:29 > 0:23:33- Tinkers, Dermot.- Tinkers?- Yes.

0:23:34 > 0:23:41Is the right answer, yes. No work for tinkers. And it's all square.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44Mike's second question then. Which British composer of musicals

0:23:44 > 0:23:49wrote the score for the 1974 film The Odessa File? Is it...?

0:23:54 > 0:23:59Um... I think Richard O'Brien was something to do with writing

0:23:59 > 0:24:02the score for The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

0:24:02 > 0:24:07Potentially it's a little bit early for Andrew Lloyd Webber

0:24:07 > 0:24:09so I'm going to go with Lionel Bart.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12OK, Lionel Bart noted for Oliver, I think.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16And did he write the score for The Odessa File? He didn't.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19It's not, it is... Well, you mentioned Andrew Lloyd Webber

0:24:19 > 0:24:23but he was around then. That's who it was. Andrew Lloyd Webber

0:24:23 > 0:24:27in 1974 writing the score for the film, The Odessa File.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Because, of course, what...Jesus Christ Superstar,

0:24:30 > 0:24:33- they were all in the early 70's. - They all predated that, yeah.

0:24:33 > 0:24:38OK, your question though, Eggheads for the lead.

0:24:38 > 0:24:42The Grand Army Of The Republic was an organisation of veterans

0:24:42 > 0:24:43from which war?

0:24:46 > 0:24:49The Republicans lost the Spanish Civil War.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52It's not the English Civil War, it has to be the American Civil War.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54Yes, I'd have thought the American Civil War

0:24:54 > 0:24:55but I've never heard of the term.

0:24:55 > 0:24:59- No, I haven't.- Have you? - Grand Army, I think it might be...

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Well, I don't know.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04- It sounds a bit American. - Yes, I was going to say that.

0:25:04 > 0:25:05Sounds bombastic enough.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08The English Civil War was far too far back anyway.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Must be the Americans.- Right.

0:25:10 > 0:25:15Um, we think it's the American Civil War.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18After deliberation, you said you'd never heard of it but you

0:25:18 > 0:25:20- didn't think it'd be the Spanish or the English?- No.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23So left then with that old technique, the Americans

0:25:23 > 0:25:24and it's right.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27The American Civil War, The Grand Army Of The Republic

0:25:27 > 0:25:30means, Mike, you know what you've got to do here.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32You've got to furnish me with a correct answer

0:25:32 > 0:25:35so we can give you a nice tick there on the board.

0:25:35 > 0:25:41The Roman historian Tacitus wrote a famous treatise on which people?

0:25:45 > 0:25:52I'm trying to think back now to the Romans' conquest of Europe.

0:25:52 > 0:25:57The, um... The only...race at the time I think

0:25:57 > 0:26:00that springs to mind would be the Germans.

0:26:00 > 0:26:05OK, the Germans obviously had dealings with the other two

0:26:05 > 0:26:08in whatever form they were then.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10And Germans is correct. Well done.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13What did Tacitus say about the Germans? Presumably not nice things.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15- The Nazis became very keen on this book.- Oh.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18People like Himmler got very excited about it.

0:26:18 > 0:26:19- I think it's called Germania.- Right.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22It was a very influential tome.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26They thought it laid the foundations for the history of the Germans.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29Gave it some historical basis, but what did Tacitus say about them?

0:26:29 > 0:26:32Based on my knowledge of Gladiator,

0:26:32 > 0:26:35there were some pretty horrific battles in Germania.

0:26:35 > 0:26:39But they never conquered the Germans, did they? The Romans.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41You don't know what Tacitus actually said?

0:26:41 > 0:26:43I think he said they had no sense of humour.

0:26:43 > 0:26:44LAUGHTER

0:26:44 > 0:26:48Right, Barry! I would've thought better of you there.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54It's all square but the Eggheads, of course, have still got to face

0:26:54 > 0:26:55their third question.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59So Eggheads, in his later years, the French painter Degas

0:26:59 > 0:27:02concentrated on his work in which medium?

0:27:05 > 0:27:07- I've always seen him with pastels. - Pastels, yes.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Lots of pastels of horses and ballet dancers.- Yep.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13And it's lighter for when you get older too.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17Yes, we all think it's probably pastels.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19You all think it's PROBABLY pastels...

0:27:19 > 0:27:22It's definitely pastels. It is the right answer, Eggheads.

0:27:22 > 0:27:23You have won.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32Well, thanks very much, Mike. Gallant attempt there.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35Just beaten by one question in the final round on your own.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38Never easy, I know, to face all the Eggheads

0:27:38 > 0:27:40and the guys who went before you just...

0:27:40 > 0:27:44As I said during the course of the game just needed a bit more luck

0:27:44 > 0:27:47to get one or two of them through but it didn't come your way

0:27:47 > 0:27:50on the day but thank you very much indeed for playing the Eggheads.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54- Thank you.- Where Egales Dare, what a great team name that is.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56But those Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59They still reign supreme over Quizland.

0:27:59 > 0:28:02I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £2,000

0:28:02 > 0:28:05and that means the money rolls over to the next show.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:08 > 0:28:11Well, join us next time to see if a new team of challengers

0:28:11 > 0:28:14have the brains to defeat the Eggheads,

0:28:14 > 0:28:16£3,000 says they do not. Until then, goodbye.
