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 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20Question 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 taking on our awesome quiz champions today
0:00:34 > 0:00:37are the Seago's - this family team from Northampton
0:00:37 > 0:00:39all share a passion for quizzing,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42and often take part in their local pub quiz
0:00:42 > 0:00:44at the Fox and Hounds in Upper Harleston.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Let's meet them. - Hello, I'm Gill, I'm 65,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49and I'm a retired secretary.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hello, I'm George, I'm 68 and I'm a retired consultant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Matt, I'm 37, and I'm a sales manager.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Dan, I'm 39 and I'm a managing director.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hello. I'm Nick, I'm 42, and I'm a consultant.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Welcome to you, Seago's, and glad to hear you're very keen on quizzes.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09It's a very good qualification for taking on the Eggheads!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Do you quiz together, or, I would suspect, being a family team,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14do you also quiz against each other as well?
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Well, both, actually.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18We go to our local pub quiz very often on a Monday,
0:01:18 > 0:01:23but Daniel and Nicholas don't very often come with us
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- because they live in different places.- Yeah.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28But my husband and I and Matthew
0:01:28 > 0:01:32and various other friends usually make up a team.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36All right, and how do you do - do you win it fairly regularly?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Last week, we won it.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Oh, good!- But we're usually around second or third,
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- so, quite...- OK, you know that's not good enough here?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- I know!- From the Fox and Hounds to the Eggheads!
0:01:48 > 0:01:51And so, when you get together on family occasions,
0:01:51 > 0:01:52do you all then quiz against each other?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Yes, it gets very competitive then. - I was imagining that.- Yes, yes.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58We're a board-game family at Christmas and things
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and that very often involves quizzing.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Trivial Pursuits and things like that.- Definitely, yes.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06The Christmas game, fairly competitive, is it?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09And tell me about the helicopter licenses.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Gill, you don't fly...- No, I don't.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12- But all the rest of you do?- We do.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15And that probably comes about - I seemed to develop
0:02:15 > 0:02:18a love of flying. When I was 12, my parents emigrated to South Africa,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22and I was one of those children with a label tied to my lapel...
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- Yes.- Sent off on a 24-hour flight to South Africa.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30And they used to take you onto the flight deck and they
0:02:30 > 0:02:32made me a member of something called the Junior Jet Club,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35and I think my love of flying developed there.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- And you've passed it on to your sons.- Well, yes, the... Yes.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41And, well, hovering above the Eggheads -
0:02:41 > 0:02:44let's hope that's what happens here today.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Because every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:47 > 0:02:50for our challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55So, Seago's, the Eggheads have won the last three games.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00That means £4,000 says you can't beat them.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02And time to start the quiz, then,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04and our first head-to-head comes up - this is Politics.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Who wants to take this on? Politics for our first round?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- That's, er, your...your department. - Nick.- Nicholas, I think.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Oh, Nick, and any Egghead you like -
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- as you know, it's the opening round.- Erm,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- I'll take CJ on, I think, please. - CJ, OK.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22We'll have the two gentlemen at the end of their teams.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Nick versus CJ - could I ask you both to go to the Question Room,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28please, so you can't confer with your team-mates?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32OK, then, Nick, kicking off for the Seago's.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35And it's Politics. You get to choose, as the challenger,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37do you want to go first or second?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Er, I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Best of luck.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Here's your question - which Oscar-winning screenwriter
0:03:45 > 0:03:49was given a peerage by David Cameron in November 2010?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Right. I don't believe it was Emma Thompson.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Out of the other two, I'm not entirely sure.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I know that Julian Fellowes has been in the news
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I think to do with... I think it's Downton Abbey.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07So, on that basis,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- I'll choose Simon Beaufoy. - Simon Beaufoy.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13It's not. It is Julian Fellowes!
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I mean, a lot of people, due to Downton Abbey,
0:04:16 > 0:04:20and other reasons, thought he already was
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Lord Fellowes! But, yes,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24slightly connected, one would suspect,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27to the success of Downton Abbey. Julian Fellowes there.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30And first question for you, CJ - what was the subject
0:04:30 > 0:04:33of the referendum held in Britain in May 2011?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41I think this was the one mainly brought on by the Liberal Democrats
0:04:41 > 0:04:45about the alternative vote system, so, voting system.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- That's correct. And the outcome, CJ? - Not good for the Liberal Democrats!
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Yes! It was turned down, any change to the voting system.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55And there you have a lead, then, CJ. And Nick,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58second question - after he was deposed,
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Idi Amin spent many years in exile in which country?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09I don't believe it was China, I don't think relations were that good
0:05:09 > 0:05:11with that country.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Erm...
0:05:14 > 0:05:16And I also don't think it was Morocco,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- so I'm going to go with Saudi Arabia. - OK, eliminating those two,
0:05:19 > 0:05:22left with the third one, and going for that,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25and it IS the correct answer, yes, Saudi Arabia.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29And your question number two, CJ - in the House of Commons,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32an adjournment date at the end of each day's sitting
0:05:32 > 0:05:34usually lasts how long?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Oh, don't know this.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Erm, I'd be surprised if it was as long as an hour.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Erm...
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I mean, a day's sitting can be anything,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54it can go onto the wee hours,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56so maybe even half an hour would be too long,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- so I'll try quarter of an hour. - Quarter of an hour. Yes. I mean,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01unless you watch the Parliament Channel,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04you very rarely get to see adjournment debates on television.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07And, er, it's half an hour for an adjournment debate.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10So that's good news for you, Nick, it's all square
0:06:10 > 0:06:13as we go into the third question. And this is yours, Nick -
0:06:13 > 0:06:17in 1997, the Irish president, Mary Robinson,
0:06:17 > 0:06:20became High Commissioner for which United Nations agency?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I don't believe that, er,
0:06:28 > 0:06:33the Irish have particularly anything to do with atomic energy,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36and I don't think it was agricultural development, either.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Although there's a lot of farming obviously in Ireland.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- I'm pretty sure it was human rights. - Human rights.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Yes, indeed.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Seen in so many of the world's badly-affected places,
0:06:47 > 0:06:51and Mary Robinson, UN High Commissioner there
0:06:51 > 0:06:53involved with human rights.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56It means you've got to get this, CJ - which political philosopher
0:06:56 > 0:06:59was the author of the book On Liberty?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Which political philosopher was the author of the book On Liberty?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08It's not Bentham.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Oh, dear.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I'm trying to think if Mill wrote anything else...
0:07:12 > 0:07:17My instinct is Thomas Paine. I'm just trying to think if Mill
0:07:17 > 0:07:19wrote anything apart from the, erm,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Vindication of Women.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Er... No, I think it's Thomas Paine.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Thomas Paine, for On Liberty. Well,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- you've caused the other Eggheads a lot of pain.- Oh!
0:07:30 > 0:07:33It is John Stuart Mill.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Confused yourself there.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40That was a real turnaround for Nick. Fluffed your first question,
0:07:40 > 0:07:42pulled it back on the last two,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44and into the final round. Well done, Nick.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50CJ failing to identify John Stuart Mill means the Eggheads
0:07:50 > 0:07:52have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54The Seago's are all there at this point.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Our next head-to-head, then, is Film & Television.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Who'd like to play this? Can't be you, Nick.- I think I
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- put myself up for that. - I think you did, Matt, yeah.- Yeah.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- Matt.- I'd quite like to do it. - OK, Matt,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08and pick an Egghead, anyone apart from CJ!
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Who do you think?- Erm...
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Judith, I think, because she lives in France.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16OK. Judith, if that's all right, please, Dermot.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Yep. And I heard the analysis there, "because she's lived in France".
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- And doesn't watch the telly. - And doesn't watch the telly!
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Well, you're letting everyone know!
0:08:25 > 0:08:29So, let's have Matt and Judith into the Question Room, please.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Matt, your theory is that Judith doesn't get to see many films
0:08:34 > 0:08:36and television programmes because she's in France.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39What about you, though, you're always flying your helicopter,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42pub quizzing and skydiving, aren't you?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44That's very true, Dermot, yes.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I took up skydiving about three or four years ago,
0:08:46 > 0:08:50and I've got about 123 full skydives to my name at the moment,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52and it's something I really enjoy.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Funnily enough, it was the film Point Break
0:08:55 > 0:08:58that inspired me to eventually get myself up in the air.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- Nice link, that.- Thank you.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03To the subject! Let's play it -
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Film & Television - do you want to go first or second?
0:09:06 > 0:09:10In any other situation, Dermot, I'd always say ladies first, but I hope
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Judith will forgive me, and I'll take the first set of questions if I may.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19If she wins the round, she'll forgive you anything,
0:09:19 > 0:09:21otherwise, she'll never forgive you!
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Matt, here you go, first question -
0:09:23 > 0:09:26which actress has appeared in the films The Incredible Hulk,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Armageddon and The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Right, well, I've seen a couple of those films,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39and I think I can eliminate Naomi Watts.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43And also I think I can eliminate Charlize Theron.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I'm pretty sure it's Liv Tyler, who, if I'm not mistaken,
0:09:46 > 0:09:50I think is the daughter of Steven Tyler from Aerosmith, I think.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Egghead-like, extra information.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55But more to the point, the correct answer, yes, Liv Tyler.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Judith -
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake and Jason Segel
0:10:01 > 0:10:04appeared together in which 2011 comedy film?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Well, that didn't get to France, I can tell you!
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Erm... I'm not sure.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Er, Bad Teacher.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Is the right answer, yes!
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- How did you work that out, just that it might be...?- I just thought
0:10:22 > 0:10:24it sounded the most likely title.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27OK, it's all square.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30And Matt - the 2011 TV drama series The Hour
0:10:30 > 0:10:32is mainly set in which industry?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Now, I've heard of it but I've never watched it,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40so, unfortunately, apologies, team,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43this is going to have to be a complete guess.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46I'm trying to get a clue from the name, The Hour,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48whether that might give me anything.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51And nothing is coming to me at the moment, so,
0:10:51 > 0:10:55erm, I'll try and take Judith's approach and go down the middle
0:10:55 > 0:10:57and I'll say media.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Ha-ha-ha! Hoist with her own petard!
0:11:00 > 0:11:01It's the right answer, yes!
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Media is correct. If you didn't see it, I suppose, yes,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06it's in the media -
0:11:06 > 0:11:08television, to be precise.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12And your question, Judith - Mark Wright and Lauren Goodger
0:11:12 > 0:11:14found fame in which TV show?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21I know you're a keen viewer of them all.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- I've watched The Only Way Is Essex once.- Was that enough?!
0:11:25 > 0:11:29I haven't watched Made In Chelsea but my daughter lives in Chelsea,
0:11:29 > 0:11:33and keeps running into the people who are in it.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37I'm trying to think if Mark and Lauren are kind of Essex-type names,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39but they're not, really, are they?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Erm...
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Maybe it's... I think it might be Chelsea,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46let's try Chelsea,
0:11:46 > 0:11:47the Made In Chelsea one.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I think you've come up with a good idea here, Judith,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I think they should swap them over, it would be rather interesting,
0:11:53 > 0:11:58Made In Chelsea cast go to Essex and the TOWIE cast go to Chelsea,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- because that's what you've done. - I've swapped them?
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Yes, you've put Mark and Lauren
0:12:02 > 0:12:04from The Only Way Is Essex
0:12:04 > 0:12:06into Made In Chelsea.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09So, you haven't identified it, it's the wrong answer.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12The Only Way Is Essex is what we were looking for.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15So, you go through to the final round, following your brother, Matt,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18if you get this correct - which actress was nominated
0:12:18 > 0:12:22six times for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar but never won?
0:12:26 > 0:12:30I have to confess, Dermot, I've not heard of any of those three,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32so, this is not looking good.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Again, this is going to have to be another complete guess.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39And I shall go for...
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Celeste Holm.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45OK. Not going down the middle. That wouldn't have helped you, either,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47but Celeste Holm is not the answer,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49it is Thelma Ritter.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Not identified there by Matt.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55So, a chance for Judith to get in the game. Judith -
0:12:55 > 0:12:59in which year was the TV comedy Friends first broadcast in the USA?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Those are all far too close together!
0:13:05 > 0:13:08How on earth are you supposed to remember that?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Erm, it seems to have been on for ever and ever,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13so I'm going to say 1992.
0:13:13 > 0:13:151992. We're going to say farewell to you, then,
0:13:15 > 0:13:18given that it was 1994! That's a bit like
0:13:18 > 0:13:22CJ's performance, started so well and then just faded away,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25and let Matt into the final round.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27There you see the scores.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Matt, well done, congratulations, you're playing in the final round.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Well, Eggheads on the back foot,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39lost two brains from the final round, the Seago's
0:13:39 > 0:13:42are all together, and we face our third head-to-head.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44And this one is Geography.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Who'd like to play this - Mum, Dad or Dan?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Do you want Dad to do it?- Dad, you're quite good on geography.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- You don't have to take it, but... - No pressure!
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Ah! Stay with us, George, because you have to pick an Egghead.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Judith and CJ have both played, so you have Kevin, Pat or Barry?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- I'll go Barry. - Barry, on geography, then.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07George and Barry, into the Question Room, please.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Well-travelled George there playing geography.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I've got that image of you with your Paddington Bear label
0:14:15 > 0:14:19stuck onto your duffle coat there as you were packed off to South Africa.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Of course, they used to look after you very well there, didn't they,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25the airlines? Did you have someone to see you on to the plane,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27sit beside you, make sure you got off and all that?
0:14:27 > 0:14:31It was almost like having your personal chaperone the whole journey.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33It's exactly as you said.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35OK, George, you get to choose.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38It's geography, would you like to go first or second?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46OK, you've chosen to try and put the pressure on Barry, first up,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49and your first question is this - Guadalajara is the second-largest
0:14:49 > 0:14:50city in which country?
0:14:52 > 0:14:57Guadalajara is the second-largest city in which country?
0:14:57 > 0:15:01I confess immediately, I haven't got a clue.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03So it is going to be a total guess.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I'll just guess Venezuela, Dermot.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Venezuela, for Guadalajara. It's not!
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Oh, dear.- It is Mexico.- Ah.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14And your first question, then, Barry -
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Beijing is located in which part of China?
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Beijing is located in which part of China?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I believe that's in the north-east.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29It's quite tricky that, isn't it? Unless of course you know!
0:15:29 > 0:15:31CJ would, because it's so far away.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- Absolutely!- You don't know where Birmingham is,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- but you know Beijing! - Shanghai is in the south-east,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- but Beijing is in the north-east. - It is, north-east.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Well done, Barry, you have one point.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44George hasn't scored yet, but let's see if he can do it here.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46George - the Wandle Valley Regional Park
0:15:46 > 0:15:50is located on the south side of which British city?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55The Wandle Valley Regional Park is located on the south side
0:15:55 > 0:15:57of which British city?
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Well, I go to London a lot, I can't say I've ever heard it in London.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Edinburgh and Cardiff...
0:16:07 > 0:16:11I'll have to take a chance and say...
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- ..Cardiff. - Cardiff, for the Wandle Valley.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- George, it's incorrect. - Oh, dear!- Barry, do you know?
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- Edinburgh? - Good, you didn't know, either.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- London!- We'll ask the other Eggheads - what do you think?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- It's London.- It's London. The Wandle goes through Wandsworth.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Yes, the Wandle, it's one of the many rivers
0:16:32 > 0:16:34that feeds into London, it's not just the Thames in London.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38The Wandle Valley is in London.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41And it means, Barry, a chance
0:16:41 > 0:16:43for victory here early on - Abu Dhabi
0:16:43 > 0:16:46is located on which body of water?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Abu Dhabi is located on which body of water?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Er, Abu Dhabi. It's not the Red Sea.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57It's not the Gulf...
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- No, it must be the Persian Gulf. - The Persian Gulf?- Mm-hmm.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04It's the correct answer. Well done, Barry. You are through
0:17:04 > 0:17:06to the final round. And, George,
0:17:06 > 0:17:10come back to I think a little gentle ribbing from your sons,
0:17:10 > 0:17:14I would suspect! You're not in the final round, I'm sorry to say.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20The Eggheads have been doing this quite a lot recently,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23losing the first two rounds then building up a head of steam.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24It's like prodding the sleeping giant.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Unfortunately they woke up on your watch, George,
0:17:27 > 0:17:30which means you're not playing in the final round,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32although two Eggheads have gone.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Can they balance it in their favour in that final round?
0:17:35 > 0:17:37We reach our last head-to-head.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Can they take out another Egghead here, on Sport?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Gill or Dan, Sport...
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- You're both sporty. - You're both good on sport.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- Who's going, Dan?- Dan, I think, yeah.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50OK, Dan, and you know the Eggheads,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52you can play Pat or Kevin.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55I think I'll try against Kevin, please.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59OK, Kevin - Dan and Kevin, into the Question Room, please.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Dan, when it comes to sport, I know how good you at table football -
0:18:03 > 0:18:06didn't you used to play with Al Murray, the Pub landlord?
0:18:06 > 0:18:11He, er, he was my table football partner at school, actually, yes.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13He was a little bit older than me,
0:18:13 > 0:18:17but yes, we were probably the best team in the school, to be honest.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Was he like that then, was he a bit grumpy, last orders,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- ladies and gentlemen?- No!
0:18:23 > 0:18:24No, he was...
0:18:24 > 0:18:28He was quite serious at school, actually. I think he was head boy.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30OK, let's play the round, then, Dan.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Sport, and you get to choose, would you like to go first or second?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I'll go first, please.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40OK, good luck, Dan, and this is your question -
0:18:40 > 0:18:44which country won the women's football World Cup Final in 2011?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49I have no idea, Dermot.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51I, er...
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I wouldn't think it was Japan.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58I mean, their men's football is not particularly strong.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01So I'm ruling out Japan.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Er...
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I think of Sweden and Columbia,
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Sweden seems to be the more likely option.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12I don't think... Well, I'm going to go for Sweden, anyway.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15It is not, it is the one you ruled out first, the Japanese.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Right.- Now, it's interesting, because you got your first question wrong,
0:19:18 > 0:19:21as did Nick, but he of course got through to the final round.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Your dad got his first one wrong and didn't,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- so, which way will it go for you? - I think the latter.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Well, yes, many times
0:19:27 > 0:19:29World Quiz Champion sitting there
0:19:29 > 0:19:33you're playing - let's see how Kevin does with his first one.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Kevin - which role is most associated with the England
0:19:36 > 0:19:38cricket player Chris Tremlett?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Yes, he played for Hampshire as well, he's a seam bowler.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47He is a seam bowler. OK. Well,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49you've got to get moving, I suspect, here, Dan.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52In which year did the tennis player Rod Laver
0:19:52 > 0:19:55win his final Grand Slam singles title?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Well, I've obviously heard of Rod Laver,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05but I don't really know how far back he went.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08I don't think it was as far back as '59.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12I think I'll go '69, please, Dermot.
0:20:12 > 0:20:151969 for Rod Laver's last big win
0:20:15 > 0:20:17in a Grand slam - it's the right answer. Well done.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- CJ?- Well, in '69,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21he won the Grand Slam, all four tournaments,
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- then went professional so couldn't play in them any more.- Ah, I see!
0:20:25 > 0:20:29There we are, '69, identified by Dan, keeping you in the game,
0:20:29 > 0:20:33hoping for Kevin to get a question wrong, then.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35And will it be this one - in 2011, Kevin, which cyclist
0:20:35 > 0:20:40became the first Briton to win the Green Jersey in the Tour de France?
0:20:43 > 0:20:47The Green Jersey being for accumulated points
0:20:47 > 0:20:49over the different stages.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51So it's one that specialists can win,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54and Cavendish, who is the guy,
0:20:54 > 0:20:57is a specialist sprinter, effectively.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59So it's Mark Cavendish.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Mark Cavendish. And a comprehensive knowledge of how he did it.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04That is correct, Mark Cavendish. So you're wearing
0:21:04 > 0:21:06the Yellow Jersey, so to speak,
0:21:06 > 0:21:10in this head-to-head. Get this wrong and you're out of the game, Dan -
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Bert Bushnell won a gold medal for Britain
0:21:13 > 0:21:17in which sport at the 1948 Olympic Games in London?
0:21:20 > 0:21:21I have absolutely no idea!
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I think, erm...
0:21:24 > 0:21:29I don't know many fencers but it doesn't sound like
0:21:29 > 0:21:32a fencing name. Erm...
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Rowing is a...more often than not
0:21:36 > 0:21:40a team sport, so I'm going to rule that out.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Er... Yeah, I think,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44erm...
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- I think I'm going to go with shooting, Dermot.- OK, shooting,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51for Bert Bushnell. Have you heard of him, Kevin, is it shooting?
0:21:51 > 0:21:55I wasn't immediately familiar with the name.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59My reasoning would be that we didn't get much in the 1948 Olympics.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I think a lot of our people were still suffering from
0:22:01 > 0:22:05post-war shortages and that kind of thing.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I don't recall us getting anything
0:22:07 > 0:22:09in either shooting or fencing in '48,
0:22:09 > 0:22:11so I would have gone for rowing.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14It's rowing there, Dan. Liking your thinking,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- of course - rationing, post-war period.- Yeah.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20It's rowing, which means we close the round -
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Kevin is through to the final round.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Dan, as you suspected there, getting the first one wrong means
0:22:26 > 0:22:28I don't need to put another one to Kevin.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Please come back and join your teams.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35So, this is what we've been playing towards,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38it's the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:41 > 0:22:44won't be allowed to take part, so George and Dan from the Seago's
0:22:44 > 0:22:46and Judith and CJ from the Eggheads,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49would you all leave the studio, please?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Gill, Matt and Nick - you're playing
0:22:52 > 0:22:55to win the family - the Seago's - £4,000.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Barry, Pat and Kevin -
0:22:56 > 0:23:00you are playing for something which money cannot buy.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02It is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I'll ask each team three questions in turn,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08and this time the questions are all General Knowledge, as you know,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11and you are allowed to confer, as you know as well.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Gill, Matt and Nick, the question is - are your three brains
0:23:14 > 0:23:16better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18And Seago's - would you like to go first or second?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20We'd like to go first, please.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27OK, final round - will you win the money? First question to Seago's -
0:23:27 > 0:23:28which city was the location
0:23:28 > 0:23:31for the wedding of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall
0:23:31 > 0:23:33in July 2011?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Which city was the location for the wedding
0:23:37 > 0:23:41of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall in July 2011?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Erm, we're all agreed, it was Edinburgh.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Edinburgh...
0:23:45 > 0:23:48is the correct answer. Good start.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Eggheads - in which year
0:23:49 > 0:23:54was the publisher and media entrepreneur Rupert Murdoch born?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Well, he's 80 now, isn't he?
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- When does that...?- Has he actually turned 80? Well, I mean...
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- '31?- Mmm.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11That would make it '31, wouldn't it?
0:24:11 > 0:24:12If he was 80?
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- Yeah. Well, I must... That was my first instinct.- Yeah.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18We think it's 1931.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22The answer is 1931. Rupert Murdoch born in that year.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24So, back to the Seago's -
0:24:24 > 0:24:28"I kissed thee, I killed thee, no way but this
0:24:28 > 0:24:30"Killing myself to die upon a kiss"
0:24:30 > 0:24:34are the last lines spoken by which Shakespearean character?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- Have you any idea?- Well...
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- It sounds... - I think it could be Othello.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Oh, really? I was thinking Romeo, but...- I was as well.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- Were you? - What was your reasoning, though?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Because it sounds quite...? - It has to do with love and...
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- Yeah.- Yeah. - Well, I'll be guided by you.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- But I'm not 100%. - I don't know Othello at all.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- I'm going by the words and...- Yeah.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- ..trying to tie it up with the type of play that it is.- Yeah, OK.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06- But it's your... You're team captain, so...- Er,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- we're going to go for Romeo.- OK, Romeo. Well, a lot of dying going on
0:25:09 > 0:25:11in all those plays.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14And you're going for Romeo. Although what did you think, Gill?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- you thought Othello, didn't you? - Mmm.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- That's the right answer, Othello. - Oh.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- Sorry.- It's after he kills Desdemona, isn't it?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Yeah, well, still plenty of
0:25:24 > 0:25:26questions to come. Eggheads -
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Glad You Came was a UK number one single
0:25:29 > 0:25:31for which group in 2011?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- I think it's The Wanted. - The Wanted, yeah?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- We think that's The Wanted, Dermot. - The Wanted.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41It's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Can be caught out with questions like that,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45but not today, unfortunately for you, Seago's.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49It means you've got to get this - Stephen Hodder
0:25:49 > 0:25:51is a famous name in which field?
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Stephen Hodder.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- I don't think it's cookery. - No, I don't. think it's cookery.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00I've heard the name.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03He wasn't the chap that designed...
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- the Gherkin in London? - No.- No? It's not him?- No.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- I haven't heard his name in ballet. - (Norman Foster.)- Oh, right!
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Do you think it could be architecture?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Stephen Hodder.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- Hodder.- It sounds...like an architect's name, but...- Mmm.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- What do you think?- I don't know.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- Definitely not cookery. - No.- No.- One of the other two.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27Well, we definitely don't think it's cookery,
0:26:27 > 0:26:29so, erm,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32on balance, I think we're going to go for architecture.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Got to get it. And you have!
0:26:34 > 0:26:37It's correct! Architecture!
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Well, a crucial point in the game. The Eggheads win
0:26:39 > 0:26:42if they give me a correct answer here. Eggheads -
0:26:42 > 0:26:46what is the first name of the German scientist who was awarded
0:26:46 > 0:26:49the 1918 Nobel Prize in chemistry
0:26:49 > 0:26:53for his work on the synthesis of ammonia from its elements.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Fritz.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- It's Fritz.- What's the first name
0:26:57 > 0:27:00of the German scientist who was awarded the 1918

0:27:03 > 0:27:06for his work on the synthesis of ammonia from its elements?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- It's Haber? So it's Fritz.- Yeah, it's Haber.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12OK? Fritz Haber, so it's Fritz.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- So both names you're giving me? - Well, just Fritz, then.- OK!
0:27:14 > 0:27:18The answer is Fritz. Eggheads, you've won!
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Well, well, well.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29That's the kind of question I suspect might have given you
0:27:29 > 0:27:32a bit of a problem, perhaps? The Haber process, which, of course,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35the Eggheads gobbled up.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00and they still reign supreme over Quizland.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £4,000,
0:28:03 > 0:28:06which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Eggheads, congratulations - who will beat you?
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:11 > 0:28:13have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16£5,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
