0:00:04 > 0:00:05These people are amongst
0:00:05 > 0:00:07the 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?
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26the 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 > 0:00:34Challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:34 > 0:00:36are the Wormdale Wonders.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39This team at all associated with Sittingbourne Golf Club,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42which sits proudly atop Wormdale Hill.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Ian, I'm 70, and a retired local government officer.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Roy, I'm 61 and I'm an accountant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Alan, I'm 58 years old, and I work in corporate cash management.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Pete, I'm 43 and I'm a reporting and analysis consultant.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hello, and Gary, I'm 54, and I'm a bar manager.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Well, welcome to you, Wormdale Wonders.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Is it a bit windy on that course, at the top of a hill?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Yes, it is, Dermot, it's on top of the North Downs, but it's...
0:01:16 > 0:01:19You can tell a Sittingbourne golfer, he walks like this.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21And you do some quizzing there, I understand?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Yes, we have two quizzes a year for the captain's charity,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26and it's very well attended and popular.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- And very hard? - No, we make it quite easy.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32OK, well you might be a step up in class
0:01:32 > 0:01:35in terms of the difficulty today against the Eggheads.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Everyday there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers, however,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40if they fail to defeat the Eggheads
0:01:40 > 0:01:43the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45So, Wormdale Wonders, the Eggheads won the last game,
0:01:45 > 0:01:51that therefore that means £2,000 says you can't beat them.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52And let's see what comes up first.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Our first head to head, a chance to knock an Egghead out,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57this is Music to kick us off.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Who'd like to play in this round?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01I think that's Pete who'll do that, yes?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Yeah, me.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06All right, Pete, and you can choose any Egghead you wish.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11It depends whether it's modern or not, doesn't it?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Who do you want?
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Who do you reckon?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I'd say Judith.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Judith? Yeah, Judith, please. - OK, Judith, please.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23For the first round it's going to be Judith and Pete,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25and to make sure you can't confer,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27I'm going to send you all to the Question Room.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32All right, Pete kicking is off, do you want to go first or second?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I'd like to go first, Dermot, please.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Good luck, Pete.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40First question former Spice Girl Melanie C
0:02:40 > 0:02:44had a solo UK number one in 2000 with which song?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Um, not 100% sure,
0:02:51 > 0:02:56but when you asked the question, I Turn To You was coming to mind.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00So, glad to see that come up first, so, yeah, I Turn To You.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02OK, you had that in your mind and up it came,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05and it is the right answer, well done.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Judith, the Ramones have been described as one of the first bands
0:03:10 > 0:03:11of which genre of music?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Oh, dear, it's either hip hop or punk, now which is it?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Oh, I don't know!
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Oh, hip hop.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- Punk. - Punk! Oh, no! I always get it wrong!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Oh, dear.- I don't have luck.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33OK, well, it might come later,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35but, Pete, can you go 2-0 up?
0:03:35 > 0:03:40The American singer-songwriter Peter Gene Hernandez, born in 1985,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42became famous under what name?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47No idea.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51All been in the charts recently, um...
0:03:52 > 0:03:57But, I can't tell you why, but I'm drawn towards Bruno Mars.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Bruno Mars, for Peter Gene Hernandez,
0:03:59 > 0:04:00is the right answer.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05It's going to be tough for Judith to come back from this, then.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Judith, what is the title of the 2010 UK number one single
0:04:08 > 0:04:12released by British R&B artist Taio Cruz?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Well, needless to say, I haven't the faintest idea.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I just don't know.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Well, you can have a guess, of course.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I'm going to have a guess, any minute now,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I'm just hoping that something might come up.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35What about Dynamite?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I love the way you don't dress up the guessing with some kind of
0:04:38 > 0:04:42fake logic or little scrap of information.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I don't know, have a guess, and it's the right answer.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Oh, well occasionally it works.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48It did work, the luck came back to you.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50But, it may be about to desert you
0:04:50 > 0:04:52because, Pete, if you get this right,
0:04:52 > 0:04:54as you know, you're in the final round.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Which British composer's oratorios Judith,
0:04:57 > 0:05:03Job and King Saul were all first performed between 1888 and 1894?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Not my genre of music, um...
0:05:13 > 0:05:17But, the only one I can say I've heard of it of those three
0:05:17 > 0:05:19is Frederick Delius, so, straight down the middle.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23OK, straight down the middle like your shots down the fairway.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Occasionally.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27But not this time.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Veered off a bit to the left you would have got it -
0:05:30 > 0:05:32it's Hubert Parry.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37So, I said Judith would have to work hard to get in it.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39This draws you back level if you get it, Judith.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Which opera tenor controversially walked off stage
0:05:42 > 0:05:46at La Scala, Milan, after being booed in the middle of a performance
0:05:46 > 0:05:49of Aida in 2006?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I wonder. I sort of vaguely remember reading about that.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I don't know anything about Jonas Kaufmann, that's the trouble.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Can't believe they would have booed Placido Domingo.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12I'm just going to go for Roberto Alagna,
0:06:12 > 0:06:15and hope that that might be the one.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19A bit of a guess, it's the right answer, though, Judith.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Well done, you are right back in it.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23And what happened, why were the crowd
0:06:23 > 0:06:27booing Roberto Alagna, Eggheads? Do you know, Judith?
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Well, no, but they famously boo a lot in La Scala.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34The Italians are very, well, "Eurgh!"
0:06:34 > 0:06:37They boo, not like the English, who sit there and take it.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Yes, of course, no stereotyping there at all.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46But why did they go "Eurgh!" at this performance, do we know?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Think he was just off form.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Didn't live up to their expectations.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52OK, just that, and he walked off.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Right, well, we've still got to see who's going to be ordered off
0:06:55 > 0:06:57in this round.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59It's all square, and we go to Sudden Death, Pete,
0:06:59 > 0:07:01when we remove those choices.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03So, you've just got to give me the answer.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Which Elvis Presley hit includes the lines, "You can burn my house,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10"steal my car, drink my liquor, from an old fruit jar?"
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Hound Dog is going through my mind,
0:07:19 > 0:07:23I can't tell you if that's the correct title of it, but Hound Dog?
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Hound Dog - it's not.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31No, just think how precious your golfing shoes are to you.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Blue Suede Shoes. - Blue Suede Shoes, of course.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Don't you go steppin' on those.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Real chance for Judith, what a comeback this would be.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Often used in relation to dance music,
0:07:41 > 0:07:46for what does the musical abbreviation BPM stand?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Is it ballet music? I mean, is it sort of classical dance?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Oh, golly, I don't know.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02I haven't the faintest idea what ballet dancers do.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I don't know, I simply don't know.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- I have to give up. - Nothing offered there.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14OK, do you know, Pete, out of interest, BPM in dance?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Beats per minute? - Beats per minute.- Oh!
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Well, you survive, Pete.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Another question.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26Who composed the music for the film and stage musical 42nd Street?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35A guess again - George Gershwin.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37No, it's Harry Warren.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Judith, which conductor
0:08:38 > 0:08:42who gave the BBC's 2006 Reith Lectures
0:08:42 > 0:08:47became General Music Director of the Berlin State Opera in 1992?
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Simon Rattle?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52No, Daniel Barenboim.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Pete,
0:08:54 > 0:09:00which British jazz singer was born Clementina Dinah Campbell in 1927?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Um, Cleo Laine?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Yes! Cleo Laine is there.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Judith,
0:09:08 > 0:09:12in 2001, the actress Nicole Kidman appeared twice
0:09:12 > 0:09:14in the UK top 40 singles chart,
0:09:14 > 0:09:19once duetting with Robbie Williams, and once with which actor?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I don't know, Tom Cruise.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Tom Cruise is incorrect, other Eggheads, do you know?
0:09:24 > 0:09:25I imagine it's Ewan McGregor.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Ewan McGregor, after they starred together in the film Moulin Rouge.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Come What May, being the song.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I tell you what's eventually come about
0:09:33 > 0:09:35is you're in the final round, Pete.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Well, first blood in the end to the Wormdale Wonders.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46The Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Our second subject today is Science.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Who'd like to play this?
0:09:50 > 0:09:51This head to head is Science.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Who fancies that?- Not me!
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Roy, have a go? OK, Roy's willing to have a go,
0:09:58 > 0:10:00so, nominate Roy.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Good man, Roy, and take on any Egghead apart from Judith.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08- Who do you reckon, Chris? - We will try Chris, this time.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Try Chris, see if you can get rid of him, as well.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12OK, Roy and Chris,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15can I ask you both please to go to the question room?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Well, Roy, as you know, you get to choose.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Would you like to tee off or let Chris begin?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I'd like to go second, please.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Chris, your question, then. What type of bird is an avocet?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37It's that thing with the upturned bill, isn't it? It's a wader.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40It is, that's correct, so Chris got that.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43OK, Roy, your first question, then.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Which term refers to aquatic mammals,
0:10:45 > 0:10:49such as whales and dolphins, that bear live young?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Well, pretty sure it's not plankton.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57But the other two I'm not too sure of at all,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59so it's going to be a bit of a guess.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02So I'm going for the first one on the left.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Anthozoan.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06OK, just to confirm that, anthozoan.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07It's not the right answer.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- It's not anthozoan, it is, Chris? - Cetacean.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Nothing there, chance for 2-0 for Chris, if he gets this.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20The Newton meter is the SI unit of measurement for what?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Well, it's not inductance, that's electromagnetism,
0:11:25 > 0:11:26it's not luminance, that's light,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28so it's torque, twisting force.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31A man who loves nothing better than wielding a spanner.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33HE LAUGHS
0:11:33 > 0:11:35It is the right answer, yes, torque.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38So, fell nicely for Chris, there, this first set of questions.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41And not falling so nicely, so far, for you, Roy.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Let's hope it gets better with this one.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Where in the solar system is the region known as the Kuiper Belt?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Well, I've heard of it, but I'm not exactly sure,
0:11:56 > 0:11:58but I'm going to go for between Mars and Jupiter.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Between Mars and Jupiter.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03It's not. Do you know, Chris?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Well, between Mars and Jupiter is the asteroid belt.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10The Kuiper Belt's beyond Neptune's orbit, where comets originate from.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13It is, turns out, of all the four questions asked,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17you knew them all, so I think even Roy would accept
0:12:17 > 0:12:19you've bested him today.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Roy, you're not going to be in the final round, Chris, you will be.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Well, all square after two rounds,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30both teams lost one brain from the final round.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33And our next head to head today is Politics.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Who'd like to play this?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Three of you left
0:12:36 > 0:12:39available for this - Ian, Alan or Gary?
0:12:39 > 0:12:43I think Alan'll go for that one. Who are you going to take on?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Um, who do you reckon? - They are all good, aren't they?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- Een-meen-miny-mo, Barry? - Barry, go for Barry.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51For no particular reason, Barry.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Picking from Kevin, Pat or Barry and going for Barry.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57It's going to be Alan and Barry playing this Politics round,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Can I ask you both, please, to go to the Question Room?
0:13:00 > 0:13:05Well, Alan, let's see how you do. Do you want to go first or second?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08As it worked for Pete, I'll go first.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13And your first question, then, Alan.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Which term refers to a senior member of the Civil Service?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Um, it's definitely not tangerine.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26I believe it's mandarin.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Yes, it is! Yes, a mandarin.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30OK, your question, Barry.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Which supermodel testified at the 2010 trial of Charles Taylor,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36the former leader of Liberia,
0:13:36 > 0:13:40and admitted that she had received several rough diamonds?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Well, I think all three ladies might have known a few rough diamonds
0:13:47 > 0:13:51in their time, but the lady at the trial was Naomi Campbell.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Naomi Campbell is correct.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Good start from Barry, as well.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00So, Alan, what name is given to the lower of the two houses
0:14:00 > 0:14:02of the Australian Parliament?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Not too sure on this one.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Don't think it is House of Assembly,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I think it might be House of Deputies.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18House of Deputies in the Australian Parliament.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21It's not. Of course, all perfectly plausible.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24It's House of Representatives,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26the lower house of the Australian Parliament.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27So, Barry, a chance.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Which Prime Minister was a friend of Lord Kagan
0:14:30 > 0:14:32and famously wore the Gannex raincoats
0:14:32 > 0:14:34produced by Kagan's company?
0:14:37 > 0:14:41A Yorkshire question for a lad who's lived all his life in Yorkshire.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43It could only be Harold Wilson.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Harold Wilson is correct.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46That means you've got to get this, Alan.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51How long is one term of office for a UN Secretary General?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Um, seven years seems quite long.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I think I'll go for the five years.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Is right, yes, five years for a UN Secretary General.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Still in it, but Barry has the whip hand, will he go through with this?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Barry, in which country did Serzh Sargsyan
0:15:12 > 0:15:16succeed Robert Kocharyan as President in 2008?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Well, the clue is actually in the name,
0:15:22 > 0:15:27because all names of Armenians tend to end in "ian".
0:15:27 > 0:15:31And as both those names ended in "ian", I must go for Armenia.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Very Egghead-like to know that little scrap of knowledge,
0:15:35 > 0:15:36making it even easier for you.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40I suspect you probably would have got it without that knowledge.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42It's the right answer, Armenia is correct.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44So, unfortunately, the last correct answer, Alan,
0:15:44 > 0:15:47not enough to save you, you won't be in the final round.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Pete's victory beginning to fade a bit for the Wormdale Wonders
0:15:55 > 0:15:59as both Roy and Alan's challenges have bit the dust.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02It means the Wormdale Wonders at the moment will be missing
0:16:02 > 0:16:05at least two brains from the final round, the Eggheads are missing one.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08And our last subject before that final round is Sport.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Well, I'm sure you might enjoy this, but only two of you can play,
0:16:12 > 0:16:14and that is Ian or Gary.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15I'll do that, Dermot.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18All right, Ian, and who would you like to play from the Eggheads,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Kevin or Pat?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Let's try Pat, please.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26All right, Ian and Pat, playing Sports...
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Well, no, answering questions about sport.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Can I ask you both, please, to go to the Question Room?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36You know how it all works, Ian, do you want to go first or second?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44OK, great stuff, and good luck to you, Ian. Here's your question.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Stewart Downing and Jordan Henderson
0:16:46 > 0:16:50joined which Premiership football club in 2011?
0:16:53 > 0:16:56I'm not sure, it'll have to be a guess, I'm afraid.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58I'll guess Everton.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00DERMOT LAUGHS
0:17:00 > 0:17:03I only laugh because of who...
0:17:03 > 0:17:05That's not the right answer, it is Liverpool,
0:17:05 > 0:17:09the other side of that Mersey divide.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Liverpool, not Everton, and a chance for Pat to take the lead.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16The Pittsburgh Penguins play which US sport?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I don't think it's basketball, certainly not at the very top level.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27So, it's ice hockey versus baseball.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Are the baseball boys The Pirates,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33and the ice hockey guys The Penguins?
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Certainly penguin and ice hockey - there's a sort of rationale there.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42I think The Pirates are a baseball team, so I'll go for ice hockey.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Yeah, ice hockey, it's correct.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47And you have a lead.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49So, Ian, your second question.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52In 2011, Chris Froome and Bradley Wiggins
0:17:52 > 0:17:56made British cycling history by both finishing in podium places
0:17:56 > 0:17:58at which of the Grand Tours?
0:18:03 > 0:18:08Again, not my sport, but being it's a major sport,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I'll say the Tour de France.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12OK, the Tour de France for podium finishes.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15No, it's not, do you know, Pat?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- It's the Vuelta.- Yes, it is.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Do you know what happened to Bradley Wiggins in the Tour that year?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23He came flying off his bike and snapped his collarbone.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Yes, in the first week.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27So, Vuelta a Espana for Chris Froome and Bradley Wiggins.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31And you take the round if you get this, Pat.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35The Circuit de la Sarthe is at which motor racing venue?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43My first thought is Le Mans, which is an immense circuit
0:18:43 > 0:18:45mostly made up of public roads,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48but I think it may actually break down into...
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Or perhaps the entire thing is referred to
0:18:50 > 0:18:52as the circuit de la Sarthe.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53I don't think it's Spa.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58And I don't think it's Monaco, there's not much room for anything
0:18:58 > 0:19:02except the road track in Monaco, so I'm going for the Le Mans.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Le Mans is the right answer, Pat.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Well done, which means the chequered flag
0:19:07 > 0:19:10comes down on this round with Pat in the lead.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11No place for you in the final round, Ian.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:19:15 > 0:19:18So, this is what we've been playing towards,
0:19:18 > 0:19:19it's time for the final round,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads
0:19:24 > 0:19:26won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29So, Ian, Roy and Alan from the Wormdale Wonders
0:19:29 > 0:19:33and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:19:35 > 0:19:40So, Pete and Gary, you're playing to win the Wormdale Wonders £2,000.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Chris, Barry, Pat and Kevin, you are playing for something
0:19:43 > 0:19:46which money cannot buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49As usual, I ask each team three questions in turn,
0:19:49 > 0:19:51and just to underline it, the questions are all
0:19:51 > 0:19:55General Knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56So, Pete and Gary, the question is,
0:19:56 > 0:19:59are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:19:59 > 0:20:03So, Pete and Gary, would you like to go first or second?
0:20:03 > 0:20:04We'll go first, please.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12OK, good luck, Wormdale Wonders. First question for you is this -
0:20:12 > 0:20:17dog fighting between aircraft first developed during which war?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I don't think it is the Crimean.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- World War I?- World War I.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I think so, yes. World War I.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Quite a feat if it was during the Crimean War.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31It certainly would be.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Some technological developments we'd not been aware of.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35It is the right answer, World War I.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37And, Eggheads, in the 1960s,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40who famously asked
0:20:40 > 0:20:43certain members of the audience of the Royal Variety Performance
0:20:43 > 0:20:45to rattle their jewellery?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Everybody happy with John Lennon? That was John Lennon.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54It was John Lennon. Correct.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Back to the Wonders.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01In architecture, what name is given to a beam across a wide opening
0:21:01 > 0:21:04that may be used to sustain a superstructure?
0:21:07 > 0:21:12- How are you on your architecture? - Not good.- Right, OK.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- How about you?- No, no idea.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16- Anything jumping out?- No.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19It could be any one of them.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Any inspiration? Any idea?
0:21:24 > 0:21:25Bartizan?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Yeah, as good as any.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31We'll go for Bartizan.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36- OK, Bartizan, just having a complete guess.- Yeah.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40OK, you were hacking out from the rough, I suppose, in golfing terms.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44It's Breastsummer, the one in the middle, not Bartizan.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46The other two are architectural...?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49They are architectural features.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51A bartizan is a kind of small gateway.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Stylobate means with columns and pillars ranged around.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58OK, some comfort to you that the Eggheads
0:21:58 > 0:21:59clearly did know that.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Well, see how the Eggheads do.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Which fictional character was the subject of a front-page
0:22:05 > 0:22:08obituary in the New York Times in August 1975?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Poirot, wasn't it? - The Curtain was published.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Poirot dies.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Yes, we think that's Hercule Poirot.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Hercule Poirot.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Is the right answer, Eggheads, you have a lead.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26So, you need to get this, then, Wormdale Wonders.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31Douglas Trumbull was nominated three times
0:22:31 > 0:22:36in the 1970s and '80s for Oscars in which category?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43The name rings a bell, but couldn't tell you what for.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I've never heard of him.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- I don't think it's adapted screenplays.- Yeah?
0:22:48 > 0:22:53- No, unless you... - No, I have absolutely no idea.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Visual effects or sound editing.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57- Visual effects?- Yes.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Shall we go for that one?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Visual effects, please.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Need to get this to keep your hopes alive -
0:23:03 > 0:23:05it's correct, yes, visual effects.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Any of the films, Eggheads, do me know?
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Particularly known for science-fiction films,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13things like Silent Running, I think,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15and others which were big in the early '70s.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19OK, well, chance for the Eggheads still to take the game.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Which city is home to the sculpture by Lorado Taft,
0:23:23 > 0:23:28entitled Fountain Of Time, that commemorates the first 100 years
0:23:28 > 0:23:30of peace between the United States and Great Britain
0:23:30 > 0:23:34after the 1814 Treaty of Ghent?
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- I don't know this one. - What did that treaty settle?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Well, there was the war of 1812.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I don't know this.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Chicago and Boston are both Irish cities, aren't they?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49So I don't think they'd be too well disposed...
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Washington just seems too obvious.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55My only thinking on this - I don't know it - my only thinking would be
0:23:55 > 0:23:58that it was in 1814, I think,
0:23:58 > 0:24:02that the British troops burned the White House.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07And I just wonder, because that was such a symbolic act,
0:24:07 > 0:24:11I just wonder if it means they would place a statue in Washington
0:24:11 > 0:24:14to commemorate 100 years of peace since then.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15That makes sense, yeah.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19I don't see any reason why it would be...
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Chicago hadn't really developed by then.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23By 1814 it hadn't, it was Fort Dearborn.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- So... - It does make a great deal of sense.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30The only thing I can get a handle on is Washington out of those.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34I don't know it, though, I've not heard of it.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Well, go with Washington. - Washington just seems so obvious.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Shall we go with that?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41We've not heard of it,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44but on the basis that one of the climactic acts
0:24:44 > 0:24:47of the war of 1812, which the Treaty of Ghent ended,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50was the burning of the White House, by British troops,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52if they were celebrating 100 years of peace since then
0:24:52 > 0:24:54it would make a symbolic place to put it,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56so on that basis we'll go for Washington.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58OK, Washington,
0:24:58 > 0:25:03after the burning of the White House by the British.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07It is not. It's Chicago.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10So, you're still in it, great news.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12You could almost feel the knife being plunged
0:25:12 > 0:25:14between the shoulder blades, there.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Well, it's not, and everything to play for. It's Sudden Death.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Pete and Gary, what is the three digit emergency number
0:25:22 > 0:25:27used across the EU in the same way as 999 is used in the UK
0:25:27 > 0:25:30and 911 in the United States?
0:25:30 > 0:25:34112 is jumping out at me. What about you?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I think you're right, yeah.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37- Shall we go for it?- Yeah.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39112.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41112.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Is the right answer, yes, well done.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Got to be memorable, these numbers, one and one equals two.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49And Eggheads, then. Well, a turnaround there,
0:25:49 > 0:25:53last time you were answering a question to try and win the game,
0:25:53 > 0:25:55this is to try and stay in it.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57The airline founded in 1927
0:25:57 > 0:26:01and operating under the name of Varig
0:26:01 > 0:26:04is based in which South American country?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Brazil?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08That's Brazil.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Varig, Brazil, is correct, Eggheads.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Back to the Wormdale Wonders.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Which English scholar,
0:26:14 > 0:26:17whose works include Toxophilus and The Scholemaster,
0:26:17 > 0:26:22was Latin Secretary to both Mary I and Elizabeth I?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Over to you, Gary, history. Bacon?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29That's just what I was thinking.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36- What's his first name, Francis, wasn't it?- Think so.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37Francis Bacon?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40No, that's incorrect. Do you know, Eggheads?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Roger Ascham?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Robert Askham.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- No, it's Roger.- Sorry, sorry.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Barry's right, it's Roger Ascham.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54OK, well, it didn't matter the Eggheads knew that,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56because they've not won until they've given me
0:26:56 > 0:26:58a correct answer on their question.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Which English film director was Oscar-nominated for the film
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Leaving Las Vegas?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06That's got Nicolas Cage in, hasn't it?
0:27:06 > 0:27:11Nicholas Cage and Elizabeth Shue.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Yes, I know it was a Mike, I'm just trying to remember.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- Mike Newell, Mike Figgis?- Yeah.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19It's either Mike Newell or Mike Figgis
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- Wasn't Mike Leigh.- No.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24Leaving Las Vegas...
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Did Figgis pop into your mind?
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Figgis popped into my head, but I wouldn't be dogmatic about it.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34OK, that's fair enough.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37It's possible, no more than that.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Mike Figgis.- Mike Figgis.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Tossing up between Mike Figgis and Mike Newell.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46You had Mike in your head, that bit is correct.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47So, also, is Figgis.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49It means, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Bad luck, Wormdale Wonders, well played in the final round,
0:27:58 > 0:28:02taking them into Sudden Death after it went slightly against you
0:28:02 > 0:28:03in those head to heads.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Great victory there, though, by Pete.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Thank you very much, indeed, for playing the Eggheads today,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10best of luck with your handicaps.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:12 > 0:28:14and still reign supreme over Quizland.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £2,000,
0:28:18 > 0:28:21and that means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:25 > 0:28:27have the brains to defeat the Eggheads -
0:28:27 > 0:28:29£3,000 says they don't.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30Until then, goodbye.
