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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are Tony and the Wailers from London.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39The inspiration for this team's name
0:00:39 > 0:00:41comes from the first ever quiz
0:00:41 > 0:00:45that they took part in together, where the tie-break question
0:00:45 > 0:00:48related to Bob Marley's famous band. Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Tony. I'm 22 and I'm an office assistant.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Greg. I'm 22, I'm a recruitment consultant.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58I'm Ben, I'm 26, I'm a draughtsman.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm James. I'm 22 and I'm a student.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Dan. I'm 23 and I'm a student.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Welcome, Tony and the Wailers. Can you remember that question, Tony?
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Was Bob Marley and the Wailers the answer or was it about the band?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12No, no, it was about the band.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15It was in the pub so we were all under, we'd all been drinking,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18so my memory from that night was quite slim,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21but it related to the combined age of the Wailers
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- at the time of one of his album releases.- Oh, wow!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26So then that became the team name.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- I mean, do you actually sing as well?- Certainly don't!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Bit of reggae. No, OK, we don't want to listen to that.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34What about the quizzing, then?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37How's it gone since you assumed the name Tony and the Wailers?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41It's gone OK. I mean, we've never taken anything on this level,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43but, you know, a number of victories under our belts
0:01:43 > 0:01:45and hopefully another one today.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Hopefully another one today, and it would be very good if you did
0:01:48 > 0:01:52because this is something of a landmark we've reached in Eggheads.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57I don't know if the Eggheads know this, but this is our 1,000th show!
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Did you ever think, when it started,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03it would last this long or that YOU would last this long?!
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Neither of the above, no.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I suppose our statisticians can tell us how many editions each of you
0:02:09 > 0:02:13have appeared in, how many questions you've answered,
0:02:13 > 0:02:17but has it made you different in terms of being a quizzer, Chris,
0:02:17 > 0:02:18being an Egghead?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Well, I'm not really a quizzer, Dermot, these days.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24I dropped out of competitive quizzing years ago.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Hasn't made any difference to me,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27I'm still the same old thing I've always been.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Well, thank you for saying that, Chris. We were going to do that.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36Barry, does it make you realise this is a profession?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- "I've got to work at this."- Yes.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40The only difference now is
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I now have to learn things I'm not interested in.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Of course you do, or else you get picked on it all the time.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Don't you, Kevin?- Don't know what you could possibly be referring to.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Food & Drink. Judith, there is,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52I've learnt, during the course of Eggheads,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55a very distinctive kind of quiz world out there.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Your route was different. You entered Millionaire
0:02:57 > 0:03:00and we all watched you, first ever person
0:03:00 > 0:03:03to win the British Millionaire.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Thought, "Gosh, she's great."
0:03:04 > 0:03:07And they've welcomed you with open arms, of course.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08Well, I'm not sure.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I think they were rather suspicious of me to begin with.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13And also, I hadn't... I mean, I never do
0:03:13 > 0:03:18any of the quiz world's quizzes, and I still don't either.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21To reverse that question I put to Judith, Pat, you know,
0:03:21 > 0:03:25you came from the intensive quiz world AND won Millionaire as well.
0:03:25 > 0:03:31Yes, yeah. And then a couple of years ago, I joined Eggheads.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Yeah, and still out there at the...
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I'm going to call it the hardcore quizzing.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Yes, I'm very busy. I take part in lots of quizzes. Really enjoy it.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Including the World Quiz Championships.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I mean, at the time of recording,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45you are the reigning World Quiz Champion.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48And hopefully, I can remain so for another 1,000 episodes!
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Oh, my goodness me! Yeah, well,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I think Kevin might have one or two things to say about all that.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58It's great to know there are rivalries within the Eggheads
0:03:58 > 0:04:00outside the Eggheads studio, of course.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04OK, so here we are, marking 1,000 editions of Eggheads
0:04:04 > 0:04:07with Tony and the Wailers. Attention now upon you guys.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:04:13 > 0:04:16the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18The Eggheads have won the last two games.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22That means £3,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26And let's see what our first head-to-head battle throws up.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Ah, it's Film & Television,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30and you know the way it works. Any one of you can volunteer now
0:04:30 > 0:04:33to take on an Egghead to try and knock them out.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Tone? Tony?- I don't mind doing it. - Yeah?- Go on, then.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Looks like I'll be lamb to the slaughter. I'll go.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41OK, first up, Tony, and any Egghead you like.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- I'll tell you what, I'll take Barry cos he's my favourite.- Ah, good idea!
0:04:45 > 0:04:46All right, Tony.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Well, it's going to be Tony and Barry, Tony's favourite,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52playing Film & Television, and into the question room you go,
0:04:52 > 0:04:56to make sure you can't talk to your team mates.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Well, Tony, I suppose you go in there with a heavy heart,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- trying to knock your favourite player out of Eggheads.- I'll try.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04It's got to be done, though.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- D'you want to go first or second? - First, please, Dermot.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13All right, best of luck, Tony, and here's your first question.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16In which 2010 film does Natalie Portman play a ballerina
0:05:16 > 0:05:18called Nina Sayers?
0:05:22 > 0:05:27Erm, I think I know. I think it won a few awards in 2010. Is it Black Swan?
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Black Swan is indeed the answer for Natalie Portman, there. Well done.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34And your first question, Barry.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Which actor appeared
0:05:36 > 0:05:39in the films Face/Off, Get Shorty and Pulp Fiction?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Well, I think Sylvester Stallone really ought to have appeared
0:05:46 > 0:05:48in Face/Off, but that's just a personal view.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50But it was actually John Travolta.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Better watch it. He might be on a celebrity edition!
0:05:57 > 0:05:59John Travolta is the right answer there.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Tony, who played the character of Chachi Arcola
0:06:03 > 0:06:05in the sitcom Happy Days?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Ah, I wish I'd sat down with my dad and watched Happy Days now.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14He's quite a fan, but I'm certainly not.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Erm, this literally has to be a guess.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- I'll go down the middle at Jason Bateman.- Jason Bateman for Chachi
0:06:20 > 0:06:23in Happy Days. It's not. Well, you should have sat down there.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- Barry?- Scott Baio.- Scott Baio.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30There was a spin-off, wasn't there, with Joanie?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Joanie Loves Chachi, or Chachi Loves Joanie, I can't remember.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Two characters from Happy Days, anyway.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Erm, right, a chance for the lead then, Barry.
0:06:37 > 0:06:43In 2010, Joshua Pascoe took over the role of which EastEnders character?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Er, I don't think it was Peter Beale. I think he's died, hasn't he?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Not a great EastEnders fan.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Corrie is my absolute soap of choice,
0:06:54 > 0:06:56so sorry to all the EastEnders cast.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59But I believe Ben Mitchell has changed recently,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- so I'll go for him.- It's the right answer, yes, Ben Mitchell.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04You picked it out anyway, in spite of not having it
0:07:04 > 0:07:06as your number one soap.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Well, it means you've got to get this then, Tony.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Which English actress won a Golden Globe for her performance
0:07:12 > 0:07:15in the Mike Leigh film Happy-Go-Lucky?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Again, Dermot, I'm not too sure, to be honest,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25but I'll take a punt at Sally Hawkins.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Sally Hawkins is a good punt. It's the right answer. You're still in.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Hoping for a slip from Barry.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36Barry, in 1943, the film director and producer Herbert Wilcox
0:07:36 > 0:07:37married which actress?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Gosh. I've heard of Herbert Wilcox
0:07:46 > 0:07:48and I certainly know all those three actresses.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51But which two went together is another question altogether.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Herbert Wilcox.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I really don't know the answer to this, so it will have to be a guess.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01For some reason, I think it was an actress
0:08:01 > 0:08:03better known than Wendy Hiller.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05So, I think I will... It's either...
0:08:05 > 0:08:09That leaves Anna Neagle or Deborah Kerr.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Herbert Wilcox... Deborah Kerr. - Deborah Kerr.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14It's not. It is, Eggheads?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- ALL: Anna Neagle. - Anna Neagle.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- Ah!- You were choosing between the two, as you told us,
0:08:18 > 0:08:20but picked the wrong one,
0:08:20 > 0:08:22which is great news for you, Tony. Still in it,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24but we go to Sudden Death
0:08:24 > 0:08:27and remove those options to try to sort out a winner here.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Tony, your question.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Hayley Mills, the daughter of Sir John Mills,
0:08:32 > 0:08:37won an Honorary Juvenile Oscar for her performance in which 1960 film?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41I can't even think of any 1960 films, so...
0:08:41 > 0:08:43sorry, I'm going to have to pass.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46OK, a pass. Over to Barry, see if you know.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- I don't think it'd be Pollyanna. How about Tiger Bay?- No, stop there!
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Pollyanna. Pollyanna will do. Well, that wasn't your question, Barry,
0:08:53 > 0:08:55so it doesn't get you through.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56A correct answer here will, though.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Which film, directed by and starring Ben Stiller,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03revolves around a plot to kill the Prime Minister of Malaysia?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Well, I have a simple answer here.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I really don't know, I'm afraid, so it's a pass.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I'll put it back to Tony. D'you know, Tony? Any idea?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Doesn't matter if you don't, of course.- I don't, actually.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Only out of interest, Eggheads? - Zoolander?- Zoolander!
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Doesn't matter, Tony.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Ignore that, this is your question.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25Who played the title role in the 1970s horror film Carrie,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28based on the novel by Stephen King?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31I wish you gave me some questions from my era, Dermot.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- Erm... No, again, sorry. Pass. - Do you know, Barry?
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- I think it was Sissy Spacek. - It was Sissy Spacek.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Barry, which Hollywood matinee idol,
0:09:41 > 0:09:45who died in 1958 at the age of 44, was the star of the films
0:09:45 > 0:09:49The Mark of Zorro, The Black Swan and Blood and Sand?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- Could that be Tyrone Power? - Is that your answer?- Yes.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56It is Tyrone Power. It is correct, Barry.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58You are through to the final round. Bad luck, Tony.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00The questions didn't really fall your way.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Barry's through to the final and you're not, I'm sorry to say.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Well, Tony and the Wailers, one brain down. Tony's down.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14He's out of the final round. The Eggheads are all there.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17We play our second head-to-head now, and this one is Music
0:10:17 > 0:10:21which, given your team name, I would expect you to enjoy.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Who wants to play this? Can't be Tony.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- Go on, Greg.- OK.- Greg's going.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28All right, Greg, stay with us,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30because you need to choose an Egghead.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31I'll go for Judith, I think.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36Judith on Music. OK, well, best of luck.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Greg and Judith contesting this one.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Into the question room, both of you, please.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43OK, then, Greg. Putting your music knowledge to the test.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Good luck, Greg.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54"You ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine,"
0:10:54 > 0:10:59is a line from which song? A UK hit for Elvis Presley in 1956.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Erm, I was going to sing it then, but I don't think I will.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Out of the three, I'm pretty sure it's Hound Dog.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Hound Dog for "You ain't never caught a rabbit" etc.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14It is, of course, yes, it's the right answer.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Given it's our 1,000th edition, it'd be rude not to ask Chris
0:11:17 > 0:11:19just to give us a little rendition.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23# You ain't nothing but a hound dog crying all the time. #
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Thank you very much, Chris. Had to have it, though.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30It's the right answer. Let's confirm that. Your question, Judith.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33What is the title of the 1991 UK number one single for Cher
0:11:33 > 0:11:36that has the subtitle It's In His Kiss?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Well, the only one that seems to make sort of sense
0:11:44 > 0:11:46is The Beep Beep Song.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- OK.- Don't tell me it's not that!
0:11:49 > 0:11:54No, it's not. That was a reincarnation, wasn't it?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56It was originally an earlier song, wasn't it?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Yeah, someone did it years and years and years ago.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- It's The Shoop Shoop Song.- Oh, for goodness' sake!- Well, good. Right.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05For goodness' sake!
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Greg, let's get this one, if we can. I know you're trying.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Me saying that doesn't help very much,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15but let's see if you can get this and take a two-nil lead.
0:12:15 > 0:12:21More I Cannot Wish You, sung by Arvide, appears in which musical?
0:12:25 > 0:12:30I'm not sure, Dermot. Erm, I'm drawn to Sweet Charity over the other two.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Erm, and that's what I'm going to... I'm going to plug my guess at.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- I think it's Sweet Charity. - OK, have a guess at Sweet Charity.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39More I Cannot Wish You is in Guys and Dolls.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Well, you still might hold onto that lead.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Judith has got to face her second question.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Brown Sugar is the opening track on which album by the Rolling Stones?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Oh, God, I don't know! Erm...
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Well, sugar and Sticky Fingers...
0:13:01 > 0:13:06I don't suppose that has anything to do with it. Erm, Let It Bleed.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Let It Bleed. It's Sticky Fingers.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- Oh!- Oh, Judith!- Oh, honestly!
0:13:12 > 0:13:14You talked yourself out of it.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Well, that's great news for you, Greg.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22Which member of Take That had solo UK number one singles
0:13:22 > 0:13:24with Forever Love and Love Won't Wait?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I'm actually quite a big Take That fan, which is pathetic,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34but I'm still struggling here.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I don't think it's Robbie Williams,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39cos I would have recognised his songs, I think, a bit more.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- I think it's Gary Barlow. - I don't think it's Robbie.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43I'm going to go for Gary Barlow.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Gary Barlow. So, you've admitted that you're a Take That fan?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- I am, Dermot, yeah. - It's interesting with Take That,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52having had two periods of success. They've got guys like Greg,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55and I suppose when you, I mean, have you ever seen them in concert?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57I certainly am not that big of a fan, but...
0:13:57 > 0:14:00OK, yeah, but I mean, some people have been, I haven't.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02You get guys like Greg there
0:14:02 > 0:14:05and then all these women in their 30s and 40s as well.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Nice mix. Get you along there, Chris.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12Erm, Gary Barlow, of course, is correct.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14That is great news there, Greg.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16You've won through to the final round. Judith,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18you won't be playing there. You can, I suppose,
0:14:18 > 0:14:22take that score sheet away with you and hang it on your wall.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Could I ask you both to come back and join your teams?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Better for Tony and the Wailers, knocked an Egghead out.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32It's all-square now, both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Third head-to-head, and this one is History.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Who'd like to play this?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Ben, James or Dan?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41THEY CONFER
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Considering Ben's got a degree in history, we'll go with Ben.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- I don't know why he's reluctant to take it!- Didn't want to mention that.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Maybe he's reluctant cos he's got to play Kevin, Pat or Chris.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56I'll give Chris a go. I'll give Chris a go, yeah.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Let him out there, yeah. - I like history.- We know!
0:14:59 > 0:15:03You've won plenty of times at it over those 1,000 shows.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Let's have Ben and Chris, once again,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07into the question room, please.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11All right, then, Ben. Well, it got a lot better there, didn't it?
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Greg getting through.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Will you book a place in the final round with these questions?
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- Do you want to go first or second, Ben?- I'll go second, please, Dermot.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26And, Chris, in relation to Africa in the 1960s,
0:15:26 > 0:15:30for what did the letter I stand in the acronym NIBMAR?
0:15:34 > 0:15:40Well, it's not involvement. And I don't think it's influence.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44It's National Independence something or other.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Independence anyway, Dermot.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48That's the right answer, Chris.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50OK, your first question then, Ben.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55Who immediately succeeded Henry I as King of England in 1135?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Erm, I think Henry II appears the obvious answer,
0:16:00 > 0:16:05but I'm a bit worried it's just too good to be true,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07but, well, I'm going to run with Henry II, see what happens.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09OK, Henry One, Henry Two.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14It's not Henry II who came after Henry I.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15It is, Chris?
0:16:15 > 0:16:20- Stephen.- Stephen. So, a chance for a big lead for Chris here.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Chris, in the 18th century, the Hawkhurst Gang
0:16:23 > 0:16:26was a notorious criminal gang named after a village
0:16:26 > 0:16:27in which English county?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Used to be a branch line from Paddock Wood. It's in Kent.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38What?! It's typical of you to get trains in there, somehow.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40This is the 18th century! They didn't have trains!
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- No, but Hawkhurst is in Kent. - Sorry, where was the branch line?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Paddock Wood to Hawkhurst. Closed in '61.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50By, of course, the name we shall not speak!
0:16:50 > 0:16:51No, before him, actually.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- Oh, before Dr Beeching?- Yeah, Beeching was '63, '64.- Oh, I see.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57OK. Why did I even try?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Right, but the Hawkhurst gang operated
0:17:00 > 0:17:03in the 18th century in Kent. It's correct. You have a two-nil lead.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06And it means you need to get this, Ben.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08During World War One,
0:17:08 > 0:17:13which country did Germany defeat in the 1914 Battle of Tannenberg?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Unfortunately, I've never covered the First World War, Dermot.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Oof! I'm just going to have a guess at France.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28France, going for the Battle of Tannenberg.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31France, no. Chris?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Yeah, it was the big battle on the Eastern Front
0:17:34 > 0:17:36in the first months of the war against Russia.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Yeah, against Russia, as Chris identified.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Chris, you've taken the round there.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Ben, no place for you there in the final round.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49So, three rounds gone.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52One Egghead, two members of Tony and the Wailers,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55and we reach our last subject before the final,
0:17:55 > 0:17:56and this one is Arts & Books.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Who'd like to play this?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01THEY CONFER
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- OK, we're going James.- James?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05OK, stay with us, James. See, you're poised.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08You're all keen to get there. You're like coiled springs ready to erupt,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10so keen to play the Eggheads.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14But you have to pick an Egghead to play, and you can pick Kevin or Pat.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- James, your choice. - It's completely up to you, mate.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22- I'll just go with Pat, then. He's the nearest.- OK, geographically.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Not too much further for Kevin.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I'm sure he wouldn't have minded the walk to the question room,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28but it's going to be Pat.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31So let's have James and Pat, please, playing this.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36James, if you win this, it's going to be all-square in the final round.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Let's see what happens. Do you want to go first or second?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Erm, I'll go first, please.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Here you go then, James. First question.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Mrs Coulter is a character in a series of books by which writer?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Well, I haven't heard of her,
0:18:57 > 0:19:01and I think maybe I would have done is she was JK Rowling.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04So between Lewis and Pullman.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I think I'm just going to plump for Pullman.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08OK, and right to do so.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12It's the right answer. Philip Pullman. He did His Dark Materials.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16And your first question, Pat.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Max Stafford-Clark became famous as a leading figure
0:19:19 > 0:19:21in which area of the arts?
0:19:24 > 0:19:28I'm not sure I've ever heard of him. Max Stafford-Clark.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35I'm going to have to guess. I'm torn between theatre and photography.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Max Stafford-Clark.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I'll go for theatre. Absolutely no confidence.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43No confidence. It's the right answer, Pat!
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Maybe something in there. Whenever an Egghead's guessing.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I always think there must be something,
0:19:49 > 0:19:50even subliminally in there.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Max Stafford-Clark, just, did what?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Director. Director-producer.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- What kind of era? - Oh, he's still around!- OK.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Right, it's all-square, then.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Bad luck from your point of view there, James.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Pat just got that with a guess. And your second question.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Bessie Lee, John Reed and Grace Poole
0:20:12 > 0:20:16are characters in which 1847 Bronte novel?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I think this is the kind of answer you should know, but I don't,
0:20:23 > 0:20:29so on that basis, I'll also go for the book that I've never read
0:20:29 > 0:20:31or heard of, which is Agnes Grey.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Agnes Grey, OK.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Erm, it's not.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39It's one of the ones you either have read or heard of. It is, Pat?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- I don't know.- Oh, other Eggheads?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- Jane Eyre.- Jane Eyre.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46It is Jane Eyre. And, Pat, your second question then.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50The Courtauld Institute of Art has its headquarters
0:20:50 > 0:20:51in which London building?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I'm pretty sure it's not Kensington Palace.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Apsley House, Somerset House.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04I'll go for Somerset House.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Somerset House for the Courtauld Institute of Art. It's correct, Pat.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09You've got a lead.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12And, James, you need this, then.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14The painting Dulle Griet
0:21:14 > 0:21:17by the Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder
0:21:17 > 0:21:19is also known by which other name?
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Well, again, it's one I don't know the answer to. Erm...
0:21:26 > 0:21:30I'm just trying to think what name might lend itself...
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I'm going to go for, erm...
0:21:36 > 0:21:39..Mad Meg, cos it's got the nicest ring to it, I think.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Mad Meg, and it is the right answer! OK, Mad Meg.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Is it of... I'm not familiar with it myself, like you, James.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- I'll ask the Eggheads. Is it of... Do you know the painting?- Yeah.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53She was a mad woman.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57"Dulle" means mad and "Griet" is a Dutch diminutive of Margaret,
0:21:57 > 0:21:59so that's why it's Meg.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Mad Meg, OK.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04You're still in it there, James, but will you last much longer?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Depends on this answer from Pat.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09When Pearl Buck, the best-selling American author
0:22:09 > 0:22:11of the 1930s, won the Nobel Prize for Literature,
0:22:11 > 0:22:15the citation mentioned her "epic descriptions of peasant life"
0:22:15 > 0:22:17in which country?
0:22:19 > 0:22:24Well, her father was an extremely zealous missionary
0:22:24 > 0:22:27and he dragged his family all over China,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30so her book was based on China.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32It is the right answer, Pat, yes.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36China is correct, which means you've just pipped James in this round,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38so no place for you in the final round, James.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:22:50 > 0:22:52to take part in this round.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Tony, Ben and James from Tony and the Wailers,
0:22:56 > 0:23:00and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:23:01 > 0:23:06Greg and Dan, you're playing to win Tony and the Wailers £3,000.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Chris, Barry, Pat and Kevin, you're playing for something
0:23:09 > 0:23:13which money cannot buy on this, our 1,000th edition.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15The Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18As usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20This time, the questions, just to reaffirm that for you,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23are all General Knowledge. You are allowed to confer.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24So, Greg and Dan, the question is,
0:23:24 > 0:23:28are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Greg and Dan, what are the tactics going to be?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- Do you want to go first or second? - Shall we go first?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- I'm happy to go first. - We'll go first please, Dermot.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41And your first question then, Greg and Dan, is this.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44The historic activity of Swan Upping,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47when swans on the River Thames are rounded up,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50marked and then released, takes place in which month?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- That's tough, isn't it? - Do you have any ideas?- Not really.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- May, July, September. - Try and work it out.- Erm...
0:23:59 > 0:24:01You see, I'm drawn to September.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04It's either going to be spring or the start of the autumn, isn't it?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Yeah. September? What are your thoughts? September.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- It's tough, isn't it?- Yeah. - It's a guess, mate. Go for it.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17I think we can safely say we don't know,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19so it's going to have to be a guess.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- We will go with September. - September for swan upping,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25when they're rounded up, marked then released.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29It takes place in, Eggheads, September?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- I thought it was July myself, but...- July is the answer.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36July, we were looking for. And don't all swans belong to the Queen?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Well, they either belong to the Queen or one or other
0:24:39 > 0:24:41of two London livery companies.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45If they're the Queen's, they leave them alone.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48And depending on which of the livery companies they actually...
0:24:48 > 0:24:52the other belong to, they cut either one or two notches in their beak.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55OK, I'll keep an eye out for that next time I'm looking at swans.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59It's July, just to confirm that. Not September.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01How will the Eggheads do with their question?
0:25:01 > 0:25:05During the 2008 US Presidential campaign,
0:25:05 > 0:25:07who travelled across the USA
0:25:07 > 0:25:10on a bus called the Straight Talk Express?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- Think it was McCain.- Yeah.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Thought it was McCain, but I'm not 100% certain.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22I mean, Kerry wasn't a candidate in the 2008, was he?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25It was 2004.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27McCain had that sort of persona as...
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Yeah, sort of man of the people. So what do you think, Pat?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Just a suspicion it's McCain, but nothing more.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36OK, you happy with McCain? We'll go for that.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Er, we'll go for John McCain.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Straight-talking John McCain is the right answer.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Yes, well done, Eggheads. So you do have a lead.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Right...
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Back to Tony and the Wailers, and your question.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50The Masurian Lake District, sometimes referred to
0:25:50 > 0:25:54as the Land of 1,000 Lakes, is in which European country?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00I'll spell the Masurian Lake District.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03M-A-S-U-R-I-A-N.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- Do you know?- I don't, but...
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Masurian. I'm trying to think of the name or the place Masurian.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Does it sound Polish?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17No, it doesn't sound Polish.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19I think it's between Austria and Norway,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21but I wouldn't know which one.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Masurian, no. Erm...
0:26:24 > 0:26:27I'd maybe lean towards Norway. More lakes in Norway.
0:26:27 > 0:26:33Fjords, isn't it? It's fjords rather than lakes.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- Norway.- Norway?- Yeah.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Another guess, I think.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43We're going to lean towards Norway and go with Norway.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45OK, Norway, discussing lakes.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I suppose countries all with a lot of lakes.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51The Masurian Lake District is in...? Well, Eggheads, is it in Norway?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- Poland.- It's in Poland.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58Well, at least you have the comfort of knowing you discounted that!
0:26:58 > 0:27:01You weren't close, in other words. So bad luck with that.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04OK, well, the Eggheads win if they get this.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08In cricket, the highest rated international test team
0:27:08 > 0:27:11is awarded a trophy designed in the form of what?
0:27:13 > 0:27:17In cricket, the highest rated international test team
0:27:17 > 0:27:19is awarded a trophy designed in the form of what?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- Giant gaudy mace?- I have no idea.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23I think after England's win,
