0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is: can they be beaten?

0:00:22 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers pit their wits

0:00:27 > 0:00:33against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.

0:00:33 > 0:00:38Challenging our quiz Goliaths are the Meersbrook Park Rangers.

0:00:38 > 0:00:43These friends live in the vicinity of Meersbrook Park, Sheffield. Let's meet them.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46I'm Jim, I'm 34 and I'm an ethicist.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49I'm Steve, 34, and a business support manager.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52I'm Bella, I'm 33 and a head of planning.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56I'm Jon, 34, and a communications specialist.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59I'm Zac, I'm 35, and an archaeologist.

0:00:59 > 0:01:04Welcome to you. Somebody told me they're not actually park rangers.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07- No, not at all. - Maybe we might have guessed.

0:01:07 > 0:01:12- But Jim, it's personal against the Eggheads.- It is, yeah.

0:01:12 > 0:01:19My mum and dad and brother were on last season and they managed to get to sudden death in the final round.

0:01:19 > 0:01:24I think they had three left on their team, but they didn't quite win it. So I'm here to take revenge.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27- It's like a Hollywood film.- It is.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30Always one comes back to get you.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34What about the quizzing? Have you done any together?

0:01:34 > 0:01:42Not loads. We hadn't before we applied, but since then we've got a 100% record, basically.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Right.- One quiz, one victory. - Oh, I see. OK.

0:01:45 > 0:01:50OK, well, best of luck to you, Jim and all the members of the team.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58If they fail to win, it rolls over to the next show.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02So the Eggheads have won the last six games.

0:02:02 > 0:02:07That means £7,000 says you can't beat them.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11And our first head to head battle to get us all started is on History.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14History. Who wants to play this?

0:02:14 > 0:02:17- So who did we say?- That's me. - Is it Steve?

0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Yeah, Steve.- That'll be me, thanks.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23And we said you'd take on...Barry?

0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28OK, Steve's going to take Barry on.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33Quite a well thought out early plan. Might have to adapt as things go on. We'll see.

0:02:33 > 0:02:39Let's hope it stays on the rails. Steve and Barry contesting our opening round on History.

0:02:39 > 0:02:44Both please go to the Question Room just to make sure you can't confer with your team-mates.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48So why did they pick you or why did you volunteer for History?

0:02:48 > 0:02:53I've got a degree in History and I'm useless at the other categories!

0:02:53 > 0:03:00- I don't know any science or music or food and drink, so this is me. - Really bigging yourself up there!

0:03:00 > 0:03:05- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please.

0:03:06 > 0:03:13Kicking off the first round. Which 20th century figure was assassinated at Dealey Plaza?

0:03:16 > 0:03:21Eh, it's Dealey Plaza in Dallas, so it's going to be John F Kennedy, I think.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23John F Kennedy is correct.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26OK, your first question, Barry.

0:03:26 > 0:03:31Of which of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World did Pliny the Elder write,

0:03:31 > 0:03:35"Even lying on the ground it is a marvel"?

0:03:37 > 0:03:42Now, this is one I've not heard before.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46I guess from lying on the ground that he's looking at something tall,

0:03:46 > 0:03:49so I'll discount the Temple of Artemis.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53That leaves us with the Colossus of Rhodes and Lighthouse of Alexandria.

0:03:53 > 0:04:00Unfortunately, the Colossus of Rhodes fell down, but I believe it fell down after Pliny's time,

0:04:00 > 0:04:02so I can't really eliminate that.

0:04:02 > 0:04:07But that's probably the one that he'd be more impressed with,

0:04:07 > 0:04:12- so I shall go for the Colossus of Rhodes, with not a great deal of certainty.- OK.

0:04:12 > 0:04:19But the idea is he'd be more impressed by that. It's the right answer, yes, the Colossus of Rhodes.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21It was after it fell down.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24- It had fallen down. - After it fell down, yeah.

0:04:24 > 0:04:30- "Even lying on the ground." - Oh, it had fallen down! - Yes. "Even lying on the ground."

0:04:30 > 0:04:37Steve, the 202-foot-high Doric column in the City of London known simply as The Monument

0:04:37 > 0:04:40commemorates what event?

0:04:44 > 0:04:48I'm afraid I don't have a clue about that one.

0:04:48 > 0:04:52Em, I've only ever been to London a few times.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55I'm...

0:04:55 > 0:04:59going to guess that if they built the Monument after the War,

0:04:59 > 0:05:03it might be a bit more modern, which rules out the Blitz.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07I've never even heard of a Thames flood in 1928,

0:05:07 > 0:05:10so I'll guess at the Great Fire of London.

0:05:10 > 0:05:15Great Fire of London. Good guess. It is correct, the Great Fire.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17You eliminated the other two.

0:05:17 > 0:05:22- The 1928 Thames flood, Chris?- There was an exceptionally high tide.

0:05:22 > 0:05:28The usual combination of tidal surges. It did do quite a lot of damage in Vauxhall and low areas.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32I've got a photograph in a book of the Albert Embankment under water.

0:05:32 > 0:05:37A few people died, actually. It was really quite nasty.

0:05:37 > 0:05:43Barry, how long did the interregnum between the reigns of Charles I and Charles II last?

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Let's see now if I can work it out.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Charles I was executed in 1649.

0:05:52 > 0:05:57When did Charles II come to the throne? Was it 1660? Or 1666?

0:06:01 > 0:06:05If it was 1660, that would give us 11 years.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09If it was later, 1666, that would give us 17,

0:06:09 > 0:06:11so I shall go for 11 years.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Yes, indeed. 11 years is correct. Well done, Barry.

0:06:14 > 0:06:19It would be good to offer us 17. Imagine what the response would be.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21It's all square, though.

0:06:21 > 0:06:27What name did East Germany give to its army, founded in 1956?

0:06:33 > 0:06:37Em, again I don't know that one, but I can have a guess.

0:06:38 > 0:06:43The Workers' Defensive Army and the National People's Army don't look right.

0:06:43 > 0:06:49I think the full name of the country had Democratic Socialist in it, so I'm going to go for that.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52The DDR, wasn't it?

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Democratic Deutsche Republic. But it's not.

0:06:55 > 0:07:00It is National People's Army. So you knew a bit about the history

0:07:00 > 0:07:06but it actually led you astray. And it means Barry has a chance to take the round.

0:07:06 > 0:07:13Barry, 1911 saw the introduction in the UK of a national scheme for the provision of what?

0:07:18 > 0:07:23I'm not sure when lending libraries started, but I don't think it's that.

0:07:23 > 0:07:29I seem to have in my mind 1911 was Lloyd George as the Chancellor of the Exchequer

0:07:29 > 0:07:33who brought in Unemployment Benefit. Actually, let me think about this.

0:07:33 > 0:07:38He brought in old age pensions then, which isn't quite the same,

0:07:38 > 0:07:44so let me have another think. Would they have brought free school meals in in 1911? I doubt that.

0:07:44 > 0:07:50No, I'll go for Unemployment Benefit and hope it's in the same package of reforms that brought in pensions.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54It is the right answer. Well worked out, Barry.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Bad luck, Steve, there

0:07:56 > 0:08:02with your East German question. Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:08:02 > 0:08:06- Barry, I'm still chuckling about your Pliny the Elder.- Yes.

0:08:06 > 0:08:10- You thought Pliny was lying on the ground!- I did indeed.

0:08:10 > 0:08:16I got confused. I knew the Colossus of Rhodes got destroyed in an earthquake in about 240BC,

0:08:16 > 0:08:23but for some reason I was thinking it was 240AD and it was Pliny lying down! I was a tad lucky there!

0:08:23 > 0:08:28OK, that's right. One way of looking at it. You got it in the end

0:08:28 > 0:08:33to Steve's detriment. It means you're still in the game.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Meersbrook Park Rangers are one brain down.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Second round coming up right now. Music.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Who'd like to play this?

0:08:41 > 0:08:44- That's you, Jim. - OK, that's me.

0:08:44 > 0:08:50- I'll try my luck against Kevin. - All right. You've thought that through.- We have.

0:08:50 > 0:08:56OK, Jim attempting to remove Kevin from the game. Would you both please go to the Question Room?

0:08:56 > 0:09:00- All right, Jim, best of luck. First or second?- I'll go first.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Going first on Music against Kevin.

0:09:07 > 0:09:12"How still we see thee lie," is the second phrase of which Christmas carol?

0:09:16 > 0:09:20OK, I know this. It's the only one that fits the metre of the hymn.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22O Little Town of Bethlehem.

0:09:22 > 0:09:27- "How still we see thee lie." Keen carol singer?- No, not really!

0:09:27 > 0:09:30That'll do. You got it.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32It's correct. Kevin,

0:09:32 > 0:09:39in 1960 Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport became the first UK Top Ten single for which entertainer?

0:09:42 > 0:09:46I'm just thinking of the others and envisioning that.

0:09:46 > 0:09:51- It's Rolf Harris. - Until you say it, we can't join in!

0:09:51 > 0:09:56That's right, yes. Kangaroo might have been a bit of a clue. Rolf Harris.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59OK, then.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Jim, your next question.

0:10:01 > 0:10:08CrazySexyCool featuring the single Waterfalls was a 1995 UK hit album by which group?

0:10:12 > 0:10:16Right, well, I... didn't know the name of the album,

0:10:16 > 0:10:20but I'm pretty sure I know the song Waterfalls.

0:10:20 > 0:10:27It's an R'n'B song and I'm pretty sure - I hope I'm right - that it's by TLC.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29It is! It's the right answer, Jim.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31You have two. Kevin,

0:10:31 > 0:10:36who was the lead singer of the 1960s and '70s group Traffic?

0:10:39 > 0:10:41I believe that was Steve Winwood.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45The lead singer of Traffic, Steve Winwood.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47OK, it's good quizzing.

0:10:47 > 0:10:52All square. Jim, what two colours make up the title

0:10:52 > 0:10:56of a 2011 UK hit single for Wiz Khalifa?

0:11:00 > 0:11:04I've got absolutely no idea. I've never heard of that.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10It's going to have to be a bit of a guess.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14I'm going to go with black and yellow, but I don't know.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17- I'll tell you. It IS right!- Yes!

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Black and yellow.

0:11:21 > 0:11:27Well, usually you have to guess at some stage and you guessed correctly.

0:11:27 > 0:11:33Kevin, to stay in the round. Which Russian composer's version of the Star-Spangled Banner

0:11:33 > 0:11:38was controversial enough to attract police attention in Boston in 1944?

0:11:43 > 0:11:47I can't say anything springs immediately to mind as to that.

0:11:47 > 0:11:54I have to use the date in some way to help, in the sense that Rachmaninoff was already dead,

0:11:54 > 0:11:56although not by long.

0:11:56 > 0:12:02He died the previous year, but that doesn't mean he didn't compose something.

0:12:02 > 0:12:07But I'll rule him out on those grounds. I'm not...

0:12:07 > 0:12:09Stravinsky was living in the States.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16I don't think Prokofiev... He was back in Russia by then.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20I'm assuming it must be Stravinsky, but I don't know. Stravinsky.

0:12:20 > 0:12:26Stravinsky. A deep background knowledge there and you've got the right answer.

0:12:26 > 0:12:32We won't ask for more information as you've given us what you know and worked out the answer from that.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35So we go to Sudden Death, Jim.

0:12:35 > 0:12:43That means we remove - as you will be familiar with - we remove the options. It's all square.

0:12:43 > 0:12:51Which Scottish singer released the singles Last Request and Jenny Don't Be Hasty in 2006?

0:12:52 > 0:12:55I don't know the answer, but...

0:12:55 > 0:12:59I'm going to say, just on the basis that it's a Scottish singer,

0:12:59 > 0:13:05who was certainly active around that time, and this is a guess - Paolo Nutini?

0:13:05 > 0:13:08It's the right answer!

0:13:08 > 0:13:10You know your stuff, Jim.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14Hoping Kevin doesn't. Very skilfully worked out.

0:13:14 > 0:13:21Kevin, Love Train, that reached Number 9 in the UK charts in 1973,

0:13:21 > 0:13:27- was the biggest UK hit single for which group?- I can remember the title, but that's about it.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30Nothing's coming at all, I'm afraid.

0:13:30 > 0:13:36Em, no. I think I'll have to throw up my hands on this one. I can't even think of anything.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Is that a pass?- Em...

0:13:39 > 0:13:41I'll say... I'll just pick one.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45I'll say The Temptations, but it's not them.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47The Temptations is incorrect.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Love Train by...?- No idea.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- No.- Really?- Did they know?

0:13:52 > 0:13:56Well, let's... Jim'll know. Jim do you know?

0:13:56 > 0:14:00- I actually don't. I'll guess Chic. - No, doesn't matter. The O'Jays!

0:14:00 > 0:14:02The O'Jays. Love Train.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05Well, there we are.

0:14:05 > 0:14:10We've given Kevin that answer so it means, Jim, you're through to the final round.

0:14:10 > 0:14:15Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:14:15 > 0:14:19Kevin now gone from the final round.

0:14:19 > 0:14:23And one member of the Meersbrook Park Rangers.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26We go into our third head to head. This is Arts and Books.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Who'd like to take this on?

0:14:29 > 0:14:33- Bella, Jon or Zac. - How are you feeling, Zac?

0:14:33 > 0:14:38I'll have a go at Arts and Books. It's as good as any of my other subjects.

0:14:38 > 0:14:43- Who do you want to take on? - Daphne, CJ and Chris are the three.

0:14:43 > 0:14:48- Maybe Chris, actually. - Yeah, I'll try Chris.

0:14:48 > 0:14:53Just stay with us a minute, Zac. It's Chris, after long deliberation.

0:14:53 > 0:14:58You decided to attack Chris. They attacked Kevin and got him out.

0:14:58 > 0:15:03Let's see if Chris is next to go. Zac and Chris, into the Question Room, please.

0:15:03 > 0:15:08Zac, can you improve your chances even further? First or second?

0:15:08 > 0:15:12I will stay with the team strategy and go first.

0:15:13 > 0:15:18First question. Ottava rima is a type of what?

0:15:22 > 0:15:23Hmm.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Well, I don't know the answer.

0:15:26 > 0:15:32I think ottava means one eighth or eight... Something to do with...

0:15:32 > 0:15:39some sort of sequence, so on that basis it's probably a poetic form or a ballet position.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41But beyond that I'm not really sure.

0:15:41 > 0:15:47It sounds more likely to me to be a poetic form. I'll go for that.

0:15:47 > 0:15:52OK, a poetic form. Ottava rima is a type of poetic form! It's right!

0:15:52 > 0:15:54What does it mean precisely, Eggheads?

0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Eighth rhyme, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Rima means rhyme.

0:16:00 > 0:16:07OK, Chris. Dan Brown's novel The Lost Symbol is set over what timespan?

0:16:10 > 0:16:14Right, Dan Brown. He's the Da Vinci Code bloke. Em...

0:16:14 > 0:16:2112 years, a bit too epic. 12 months would be boring. So to pep it up a bit, 12 hours.

0:16:21 > 0:16:27It's probably exactly what Dan Brown was thinking. Just sketching out

0:16:27 > 0:16:31on that first sheet of A4. "How long? Boring...epic...

0:16:31 > 0:16:35"Push it along a bit." 12 hours is correct!

0:16:35 > 0:16:37And, Zac,

0:16:37 > 0:16:42second question. Which Dickens character marries Dora Spenlow?

0:16:45 > 0:16:50Dickens is not my speciality, so I'll have a bit of a guess.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54Let's go down the middle. David Copperfield.

0:16:54 > 0:16:58Those that know it are laughing along. It's the right answer, yes.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02David Copperfield. He marries Dora Spenlow.

0:17:02 > 0:17:08Waldemar Januszczak became famous as a writer and critic in what area?

0:17:12 > 0:17:16Hasn't he done a series on telly on the art of Russia?

0:17:16 > 0:17:22- In which case he'd be a critic of fine art.- It's the right answer. Both going really well here.

0:17:22 > 0:17:27Zac, keep it up. In John Webster's play The Duchess of Malfi,

0:17:27 > 0:17:31what is the name of the Duchess' twin brother, the Duke of Calabria?

0:17:33 > 0:17:40Ferdinand doesn't sound Italian enough for me, assuming that is an Italian name.

0:17:40 > 0:17:44So I'm going to rule that one out and go for one of the other two.

0:17:44 > 0:17:49- I'm going to go with Bosola. That is a guess.- OK, Bosola.

0:17:49 > 0:17:53You thought Ferdinand didn't sound Italian enough, but it's the answer.

0:17:53 > 0:17:58Ferdinand is the Duchess of Malfi's twin brother,

0:17:58 > 0:18:03the Duke of Calabria. An opening for Chris. Which legendary figure appears

0:18:03 > 0:18:08mainly under a different name in Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe?

0:18:09 > 0:18:12He appears under the name of Locksley and it's Robin Hood.

0:18:12 > 0:18:18It's correct, Chris. Knowing that very well. I think Zac knew it as well.

0:18:18 > 0:18:23Bad luck, Zac. Don't hang the head low! Head held high.

0:18:23 > 0:18:29You played really well, but just caught out by the odd question and you won't be in the final round.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Both please come back and join your teams.

0:18:32 > 0:18:37Just didn't quite work there for Zac. The Meersbrook Park Rangers have lost two brains,

0:18:37 > 0:18:44Eggheads are missing one. Let's see, then, what the line up in the final round will be.

0:18:44 > 0:18:48Our last head to head will decide that. This is Film and Television.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50Bella or Jon to play.

0:18:50 > 0:18:54- Film and Television. - I'll have a go.- OK.

0:18:54 > 0:18:59- And you'll go for Daphne? - I shall fall upon my sword...

0:18:59 > 0:19:03- and take Daphne on.- OK. I'm sure you have more confidence than that.

0:19:03 > 0:19:10Jon versus Daphne on Film and Television. Both of you head for the Question Room, please.

0:19:10 > 0:19:16OK, Jon said he was falling on his sword, but I think you quietly fancy your chances.

0:19:16 > 0:19:20- First or second? - I'll buck the trend and go second.

0:19:23 > 0:19:28That's you starting then, Daphne. Jeremy Clarkson, Philippa Forrester and Craig Charles

0:19:28 > 0:19:31have all presented which TV show?

0:19:34 > 0:19:38It's not Treasure Hunt, is it? That was yours.

0:19:40 > 0:19:45But I used to watch Robot Wars with my grandson,

0:19:45 > 0:19:48- so Robot Wars. - Robot Wars is the right answer.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Well done, Daphne.

0:19:52 > 0:19:58Your question, Jon. John Cole, who became famous as the political editor for the BBC,

0:19:58 > 0:20:01was born in which part of the UK?

0:20:02 > 0:20:06Em... I am not 100% by any means,

0:20:07 > 0:20:12but I have a vague recollection of him having an Irish accent.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15So I'll go Northern Ireland.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19Northern Ireland is correct. Well done. Always parodied in Private Eye

0:20:19 > 0:20:23with a column that started, "Hondootedly, Mossus Thotcher..."

0:20:23 > 0:20:29And then on it went with the political events of the last two weeks. I think John enjoyed that.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33A great way of remembering him.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36OK, Daphne, your question. Who was awarded

0:20:36 > 0:20:40the Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 2011?

0:20:44 > 0:20:49Oh, crumbs. I think it passed me by.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55Melissa Leo.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59Is the right answer!

0:20:59 > 0:21:04- Do you know what the film was? - Was it that Fighter film?- Yes.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Playing catch-up, then, Jon.

0:21:06 > 0:21:13Which Coronation Street character was played by Bryan Mosley from 1961 to 1999?

0:21:16 > 0:21:19I'm not a big soap watcher.

0:21:19 > 0:21:25I like the sound of Len Fairclough. Shall we give a punt?

0:21:25 > 0:21:26Len Fairclough.

0:21:26 > 0:21:32I'd say a good proportion of our audience is shouting at the screen at the moment, going,

0:21:32 > 0:21:35"Alf Roberts!"

0:21:35 > 0:21:40Alf Roberts is the answer we wanted. Alf Roberts there.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42Well...

0:21:42 > 0:21:47not watching your soaps gives Daphne an opening here. Which director's early output included

0:21:47 > 0:21:53several of a famous series of Cinzano commercials starring Joan Collins and Leonard Rossiter?

0:21:58 > 0:21:59Well...

0:22:00 > 0:22:02I don't know.

0:22:02 > 0:22:06They were funny, so Alan Parker.

0:22:06 > 0:22:10- You mean the other two aren't a barrel of laughs?- No.

0:22:10 > 0:22:14It's the right answer, Daphne! Alan Parker.

0:22:14 > 0:22:19They always ended up with the drinks pouring all over Joan Collins' lap.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22Alan Parker is correct. Bad luck.

0:22:22 > 0:22:28You don't get another question, Jon. Daphne got three. You can't match it and you won't be in the final round.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32Both please come back and join your teams.

0:22:32 > 0:22:38This is what we've been playing towards. Time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40But those of you who lost

0:22:40 > 0:22:46won't be allowed to take part. So Steve, Jon and Zac from Meersbrook Park Rangers

0:22:46 > 0:22:51and Kevin from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio now, please?

0:22:51 > 0:22:56So Jim and Bella are playing to win the Meersbrook Park Rangers £7,000.

0:22:56 > 0:23:04CJ, Daphne, Chris and Barry are playing for something money can't buy. It is your very reputation.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08As usual, I'll ask each team three questions, General Knowledge,

0:23:08 > 0:23:10and you are allowed to confer.

0:23:10 > 0:23:17So the question is this: are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:23:17 > 0:23:21- Jim and Bella, first or second? - I think we'll go first.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Well, very best of luck to you.

0:23:26 > 0:23:33First question. In gambling, what is the usual name given to the type of bet in which a horse is backed

0:23:33 > 0:23:35for both a win and a place?

0:23:38 > 0:23:42- Well, that's each-way, isn't it? - It is.- OK.

0:23:42 > 0:23:46Having won on the Grand National three times on each-way bets, each-way!

0:23:46 > 0:23:51OK, You are lucky, then. It is the right answer.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53Each-way is correct.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Eggheads,

0:23:55 > 0:24:01the companies formerly known as NOP and MORI

0:24:01 > 0:24:05were most associated with what area of business?

0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Market research?- Market research.

0:24:10 > 0:24:14They were market research companies.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Yes, that's the right answer.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20Back to the Park Rangers. The word "ceratops"

0:24:20 > 0:24:24as part of the names of dinosaurs such as triceratops means what?

0:24:29 > 0:24:34Triceratops had three horns, right, on its face, so...

0:24:34 > 0:24:38That's absolutely right. Horned face.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40Correct! Two to you.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42Eggheads,

0:24:42 > 0:24:48in WWII, what nickname was often given to the rear gunner of a British combat aeroplane crew?

0:24:53 > 0:24:56"I say, skipper, Tail-end Charlie has bought it."

0:24:56 > 0:25:01How much do we want it to be Back-up Billy?

0:25:01 > 0:25:06We think it's the rather boringly titled Tail-end Charlie.

0:25:06 > 0:25:11Tail-end Charlie, yes. Your Back-up Billy today is Kevin.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14Tail-end Charlie is correct.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16Well...

0:25:16 > 0:25:21All square. Two each. Both teams going very well.

0:25:21 > 0:25:27Hinkley Point on the Somerset coast has been the location of two types of what installation?

0:25:32 > 0:25:37- OK, so nuclear power stations tend to be on the coast.- That's true.

0:25:37 > 0:25:41But the Somerset coast has quite a lot of people there.

0:25:41 > 0:25:46- They often put them in Scotland. - Yeah.- Radio observatory? Somerset?

0:25:46 > 0:25:50- I don't know. Submarine base. - It sounds...- It's not very deep.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53- They tend to be West of Scotland. - Right, OK.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56- But I don't want to wipe it out. - Yeah, yeah.

0:25:56 > 0:26:01But I think... The one I'm drawn to is nuclear power station.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Two different types of?

0:26:04 > 0:26:09Hinkley Point on the Somerset coast has been the location of two types of what installation?

0:26:09 > 0:26:13- OK.- So two types. So unlikely to have...

0:26:13 > 0:26:18Sellafield's had two sorts of nuclear power. Let's say it's not.

0:26:18 > 0:26:22- OK, fine.- Two sorts of radio observatory? You could imagine that.

0:26:22 > 0:26:27- Sure.- And you could imagine just one submarine base, maybe?

0:26:27 > 0:26:31- So you reckon radio observatory? - It's our best.- It is.

0:26:31 > 0:26:37- Radio observatory? - OK, two types of radio observatory at Hinkley Point.

0:26:37 > 0:26:42- Daphne, is that correct?- No. It's about ten miles away from me

0:26:42 > 0:26:44and it's a nuclear power station.

0:26:44 > 0:26:48Hinkley Point, nuclear power station.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50So a chance for the Eggheads.

0:26:50 > 0:26:55What type of creature is the South American pacarana?

0:26:58 > 0:27:02P-A-C-A-R-A-N-A. What type of creature is it?

0:27:02 > 0:27:06- I know what I think. - It sounds rodent to me.

0:27:06 > 0:27:11Capybara has lots of vowels in! And pacarana has lots of vowels.

0:27:11 > 0:27:16- Not a lot to go on.- Rana is a frog, which would make it amphibian.- Yes.

0:27:16 > 0:27:20That's Latin and wouldn't affect a South American name anyway.

0:27:20 > 0:27:25- I don't think it's a reptile. - Shall we go for rodent?- Yeah.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Harking back to Daphne again, we'll go for rodent.

0:27:28 > 0:27:32CJ! Do you want to hit him, Daphne, or shall I?

0:27:32 > 0:27:35I do it when nobody is watching!

0:27:35 > 0:27:38I see, OK. Rodent you think.

0:27:38 > 0:27:42They clearly don't know it, but having a bit of a guess.

0:27:42 > 0:27:46You don't lose if you get it wrong, but you haven't lost.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48It is correct. Eggheads, you've won!

0:27:53 > 0:27:59Tough and tight there. You didn't quite avenge your family members there, Jim.

0:27:59 > 0:28:04Personal victory, though, in taking out the four-time World Quiz Champion

0:28:04 > 0:28:10and endless other titles there in Kevin, sitting silently in the Question Room.

0:28:10 > 0:28:12But the other Eggheads have done it.

0:28:12 > 0:28:16Not to be on the day, but have you enjoyed it?

0:28:16 > 0:28:22- It's been great.- Thank you. - We've loved having you here, but bad luck with Hinkley Point.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25That's the way the cookie crumbles.

0:28:25 > 0:28:29The Eggheads have done what comes naturally. Their streak continues.

0:28:29 > 0:28:34You won't be going home with £7,000. That means the money rolls over to the next show.

0:28:34 > 0:28:38Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:38 > 0:28:43Join us next time to see if a new team can defeat the Eggheads. £8,000 says they don't.

0:28:43 > 0:28:45Until then, goodbye.
