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.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?

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

0:00:26 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35And taking on our awesome quiz champions today

0:00:35 > 0:00:37are the Earley Birds from Berkshire.

0:00:37 > 0:00:41This team quiz together at their local pub, The Maiden Over in Earley,

0:00:41 > 0:00:46and have combined the best of the pub's brains to challenge the Eggheads. Let's meet them.

0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Robert, I'm 37, and I'm an IT trainer.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Carmen, I'm 30 and I'm a reward consultant.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hello, my name is Peter, I'm 38 and I'm a retail support executive.

0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Tim, I'm 54 and I'm a chartered financial planner.

0:01:02 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Tony, I'm 31 and I'm an IT project manager.

0:01:07 > 0:01:12Welcome, Earley Birds. You've combined a couple of teams and brought along the quizmaster.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15We have indeed. Peter here is our quizmaster.

0:01:15 > 0:01:19I've sort of joined quite a lot of teams, really,

0:01:19 > 0:01:24but Tony and Carmen here have formed a team, I've played with them, I've played with Tim

0:01:24 > 0:01:27and we've all pretty much played together.

0:01:27 > 0:01:32So have you hand-picked this team or did you go into the pub one day and pick who was there?

0:01:32 > 0:01:38Tony and I were talking about it at one point and Carmen said, "I want to be in it too."

0:01:38 > 0:01:41And Pete said, "No, I've got to be in there too."

0:01:41 > 0:01:45- And Tim was, I guess, the last-minute person.- I see.

0:01:45 > 0:01:50Carmen, do you want to reconsider, now you've seen the whites of the Eggheads' eyes?

0:01:50 > 0:01:53- I'm a bit concerned. - OK, listen, best of luck.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57- Is there a cricketing link with The Maiden Over, the pub?- There is.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01I think many years ago, it had more of a cricket feel to it.

0:02:01 > 0:02:07I think the only link it has with cricket now is the fact there is a bat in there, but that's about it.

0:02:07 > 0:02:12- And a few beer glasses?- There's one or two.- Which you like to empty. Best of luck, Earley Birds.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.

0:02:16 > 0:02:21But if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Earley Birds, the Eggheads have won the last three games

0:02:24 > 0:02:27and that means £4,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:02:27 > 0:02:32So let's see what comes up first. This head-to-head, to start us off, is History.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36Who'd like to play it and which Egghead would you like to take on?

0:02:36 > 0:02:39That'll be you then, Tim, Mr Military History.

0:02:39 > 0:02:44- Right, OK.- Who do you think you should take on? - They're all very good at History.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47- So...- They are indeed.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49I think I might try...

0:02:49 > 0:02:52- I might try Pat. - Pat?- Yeah, go for it.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56OK, Tim and Pat into the question room then

0:02:56 > 0:02:59to contest our opening round, it's History.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03OK, opening round for you then, Tim, going into bat first for the Earley Birds.

0:03:03 > 0:03:09- Do you want to go first or second?- I've always been pretty contrary, so I'll go second, please.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14It's Pat in first then.

0:03:14 > 0:03:21Pat, which phrase was formally removed from the British monarch's royal style and titles in 1948?

0:03:27 > 0:03:30King of France, I think it was a long time...

0:03:30 > 0:03:34Calais had been lost a long time before 1948.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37I'm not sure about Defender of the Faith,

0:03:37 > 0:03:40but 1947 was India's independence,

0:03:40 > 0:03:45so it seems probable that Emperor of India was removed.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Going for that and it's the right answer.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50OK, Tim.

0:03:50 > 0:03:54Aiming to secure fair rents, fixity of tenure and free sale,

0:03:54 > 0:04:01the Irish National Land League was formed in 1879 with which politician as its President?

0:04:06 > 0:04:10Well, I've not heard of any of them, so that's not really very helpful.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14So, um...logic is going to be difficult at this stage.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20I'm drawn towards Charles Stewart Parnell, actually,

0:04:20 > 0:04:22so I think I'll go for that, please.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26Charles Stewart Parnell, President of the Irish National Land League,

0:04:26 > 0:04:29- it's correct, well done. - APPLAUSE

0:04:29 > 0:04:32OK, and one apiece then.

0:04:32 > 0:04:37Second question, Pat. The Royal Navy commander and diver known as Buster Crabb

0:04:37 > 0:04:40disappeared in 1956 in which harbour?

0:04:43 > 0:04:49Yes, there was a Soviet delegation and I think their ship was moored.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51And it's thought...

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Well, he disappeared in the harbour.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57I don't think it's Dover, so it's between Weymouth and Portsmouth

0:04:57 > 0:05:00I'm not sure. I'm going to go for Portsmouth.

0:05:00 > 0:05:05Portsmouth for a bit of a Cold War mystery as described there by Pat,

0:05:05 > 0:05:08it's the right answer. Yes, well done.

0:05:08 > 0:05:14Tim, your second question. Which French king was forced to abdicate during the July Revolution of 1830?

0:05:18 > 0:05:23My knowledge of French history is pretty poor, I have to say.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27The only one that I've really heard of, I think, is Louis XVIII,

0:05:27 > 0:05:31so I think I'm going to go with that - Louis XVIII.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34OK, Louis XVIII abdicating in 1830...

0:05:34 > 0:05:37It's not. Pat?

0:05:37 > 0:05:39- I'm unsure.- OK, other Eggheads?

0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Charles X.- Charles X.

0:05:41 > 0:05:42OK, well...

0:05:42 > 0:05:44It's looking ominous.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48Pat, if you get this, you're in the final round.

0:05:48 > 0:05:54When the civil registration of births, marriages and deaths began in Britain in the late 1830s,

0:05:54 > 0:05:58the Registrar General was based in which London building?

0:06:02 > 0:06:05I've heard many times people talking

0:06:05 > 0:06:08about archives in Somerset House.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11I don't think it's Bush House. That's to do with the BBC.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15And Apsley House is the Duke of Wellington's home, I think.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19Perhaps not. I think it's Somerset House.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Somerset House is, unfortunately for Tim, correct.

0:06:22 > 0:06:27Somerset House wins you the round and, Tim, you're not in the final.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Would you both come back and join your teams?

0:06:30 > 0:06:35So, after the early exchanges, the Earley Birds have lost one brain from the final round.

0:06:35 > 0:06:40The Eggheads are all still there. Our second subject is Arts & Books.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Arts & Books... - LAUGHTER

0:06:42 > 0:06:47- Carmen smiling there. Is that because you want to play it or have to play it?- No, no.

0:06:47 > 0:06:52- Arts & Books, who wants to play? - It's not my strongest. - It's not my strongest.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55- That was mine as well.- It was.

0:06:55 > 0:07:00- I can take it for the team. - You'll take one for the team? - I'll take one for the team.

0:07:00 > 0:07:05- Carmen's going to take one for the team.- OK. And which Egghead will you take for the team?

0:07:05 > 0:07:10- I think we'll take CJ.- We'll take CJ - OK, Carmen and CJ then playing Arts & Books.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Into the question room, both of you, please.

0:07:13 > 0:07:18- Carmen, would you like to go first or second? - I'd like to go second, please.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Second again then.

0:07:20 > 0:07:25CJ's in then. In Spain, the Miguel de Cervantes Award is given annually

0:07:25 > 0:07:28to honour the lifetime achievement of someone in what field?

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Cervantes wrote Don Quixote,

0:07:33 > 0:07:37which is a piece of literature, so I'll assume it's literature.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40Well worked out, CJ. How did you manage that?

0:07:40 > 0:07:44It's the right answer. Yes, literature is correct. And Carmen,

0:07:44 > 0:07:49what is the term for a short, witty saying that expresses a well-known truth,

0:07:49 > 0:07:52such as, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing"?

0:07:55 > 0:07:58To be honest, I haven't heard of any of those,

0:07:58 > 0:08:02so I might just take a stab in the dark and say it's an ablative

0:08:02 > 0:08:05OK, ablative, yes...

0:08:05 > 0:08:08How would you have been with Cervantes?

0:08:08 > 0:08:10- No? Maybe not?- No.- OK.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14OK, well, you haven't got this one. It is an aphorism.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16CJ...

0:08:16 > 0:08:21Which pop artist produced a design of wallpaper in 1966,

0:08:21 > 0:08:24featuring as its motif the head of a cow?

0:08:29 > 0:08:31No idea whatsoever.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Um, the head of a cow...

0:08:36 > 0:08:38The one I'm least familiar with,

0:08:38 > 0:08:42cos I only know two or three of his works, is Lichtenstein.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46- Let's assume, blind guess, Roy Lichtenstein.- OK, down the middle.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49It's not Roy Lichtenstein. Other Eggheads?

0:08:49 > 0:08:51- Peter Blake?- Warhol?- Andy Warhol?

0:08:51 > 0:08:56Andy Warhol with the wallpaper with the cow's head motif.

0:08:56 > 0:09:02OK, well, you might be able to make amends for that first answer, Carmen, with this.

0:09:02 > 0:09:07What type of novels did Agatha Christie write under the pen name of Mary Westmacott?

0:09:10 > 0:09:14I know Agatha Christie did detective and thriller kind of novels,

0:09:14 > 0:09:17so under another pen name...

0:09:17 > 0:09:20I don't think she would do westerns.

0:09:21 > 0:09:26Science fiction may not be up her street, so I'll go with romances

0:09:26 > 0:09:30Yeah, well done. Well worked out. Correct, romances.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Back in it. All square.

0:09:32 > 0:09:36CJ, Lanark was the debut novel of which writer,

0:09:36 > 0:09:42described by Anthony Burgess as the most important Scottish writer since Sir Walter Scott?

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Well, I haven't heard of it.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52I haven't even heard of Jeff Torrington, so apologies to him

0:09:55 > 0:09:58- No idea. I'll try James Kelman. - James Kelman?

0:09:58 > 0:10:02It's not. Incorrect.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Alasdair Gray.- Alasdair Gray, it is, from Judith there.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08So what a turnaround this would be!

0:10:08 > 0:10:13Didn't get your first one, but now in a position, Carmen, to take the round with this.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15Whose painting from around 1826,

0:10:15 > 0:10:21entitled Oedipus And The Sphinx, a reworking of an 1808 original, hangs in the National Gallery in London?

0:10:25 > 0:10:28Painting is not my strong suit, unfortunately.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32I don't know any of those names,

0:10:32 > 0:10:36so once again, I might have to go for a guess.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39- And I'll take Courbet.- Courbet...

0:10:39 > 0:10:41It's not. CJ?

0:10:41 > 0:10:43- No.- Other Eggheads?

0:10:43 > 0:10:47- Delacroix?- Ingres.- ..No. - It's Ingres then.- Ingres.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50- It's going well(!) - It's going very well(!) Ingres.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52So, there we are,

0:10:52 > 0:10:54all square, one each.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57And into Sudden Death. I know you know the rules,

0:10:57 > 0:11:03but just to underline it, you don't see any more choices in this section of a head-to-head.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06We're just trying to get a winner and making it harder.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10CJ, the name of which New York borough is the title

0:11:10 > 0:11:14of a 2009 novel by the Irish author, Colm Toibin?

0:11:14 > 0:11:20I haven't heard of the novel, so it's just going to be a guess at a New York borough then.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24Which name lends itself most to a title?

0:11:26 > 0:11:27Brooklyn.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Is the right answer, CJ!

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Whoa! Didn't know it.

0:11:32 > 0:11:38But a fairly good knowledge of his New York boroughs, so got that.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40And you need to get this, Carmen.

0:11:40 > 0:11:47Which Kazuo Ishiguro novel about a repressed English butler won the 1989 Booker Prize?

0:11:49 > 0:11:55Butler... The only butlers I know of are Alfred and Jeeves, so I don't know it's either of them.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58Um... I'm going to have to pass, unfortunately.

0:11:58 > 0:12:03- Really? You can't have a guess at anything? You know you're out if you don't get it.- Hmm...

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Kazuo Ishiguro novel about a repressed English butler.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08I'll go for Jeeves then.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12Jeeves? No. It's not Jeeves. Do you know, CJ?

0:12:12 > 0:12:18- The Remains Of The Day?- The Remains Of The Day. Also a film with Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22That is the right answer from CJ, so he got two there in Sudden Death.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26Carmen, it means you're not playing in the final round.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:12:29 > 0:12:34The Earley Birds haven't got the worm yet. Two brains missing from the final round.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38The Eggheads are all still there. Two more head-to-heads coming up. Next, it's Sport.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41So who'd like to play this?

0:12:41 > 0:12:45- Robert, Peter or Tony?- Will you take that?- Yeah.- Who are you going to play against?- Judith.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49Tony and Judith then playing Sport. Into the question room, please.

0:12:50 > 0:12:54Tony and Judith matching in pink there in the question room.

0:12:54 > 0:12:59- Tony, would you like to go first or second? - I'll go first, please, Dermot.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Best of luck, Tony. First question then.

0:13:04 > 0:13:10What is the period in a year when football clubs can transfer in players from other teams?

0:13:15 > 0:13:18What is the period in a year

0:13:18 > 0:13:21when football clubs can transfer in players from other teams?

0:13:21 > 0:13:26Dermot, like you, I'm a massive Arsenal fan and I love my football.

0:13:26 > 0:13:31And so deducting the other two is just going to be time-wasting.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34- It's the transfer window. - The transfer window...

0:13:34 > 0:13:39Can we ask Arsene Wenger to buy a few defenders in his opportunity?

0:13:39 > 0:13:42The transfer window is correct, Tony.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44And Judith, first question for you.

0:13:44 > 0:13:49A bowling green is usually divided up into a number of parallel playing strips known as what?

0:13:52 > 0:13:55A bowling green is usually divided up

0:13:55 > 0:13:59into a number of parallel playing strips known as what?

0:13:59 > 0:14:02I suppose bowls... You said "bowls", didn't you, a bowling green?

0:14:02 > 0:14:08- A bowling green, yeah.- Yeah. Well, it's quite an ancient game, isn't it

0:14:08 > 0:14:10I can't think why on earth it would be rinks.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13I think bowling rinks are the other kind of bowls,

0:14:13 > 0:14:16the skittles type.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20- I think it might be courts. - Bowling courts...

0:14:20 > 0:14:23- What do you think, other Eggheads? - Rinks.- Rinks.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26- It's bowling rinks. - JUDITH LAUGHS

0:14:26 > 0:14:28Tony, good start for you.

0:14:28 > 0:14:34Best possible one. Let's see if you can continue with that. In 2005,

0:14:34 > 0:14:39Ben Hilfenhaus made his debut for which Australian domestic cricket team?

0:14:44 > 0:14:46OK. Cricket's not my best sport.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50I could probably have had a guess that Hilfenhaus was a cricketer.

0:14:50 > 0:14:55Australian domestic cricket I don't know anything about.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58I wouldn't even know if they are valid teams.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02Victorian Bushrangers...

0:15:02 > 0:15:04I don't know about that.

0:15:04 > 0:15:08I'm going to go for the Queensland Bulls.

0:15:08 > 0:15:12The Queensland Bulls. It's not. Judith, you of course know.

0:15:12 > 0:15:17- The Victoria Bushrangers.- See, you didn't know! Tasmanian Tigers.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21But good attempt at bluffing there.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25OK, well, a chance to catch up, Judith.

0:15:25 > 0:15:32In 2009, the Aegon Awards were given for the first time to British players and coaches in which sport?

0:15:35 > 0:15:39I wonder if it's tennis to encourage them as they're not very good at it.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46I don't know. I don't know how to get a line on it.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50So I'm going to say...

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Gymnastics.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Oh, Judith! It is tennis.

0:15:57 > 0:16:03- First instincts. - It wasn't an instinct. I have no instincts.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07- None at all? - None about sport, no.- OK.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Tennis there. Well,

0:16:09 > 0:16:15you've still got the lead and a place in the final round for a correct answer here, Tony.

0:16:15 > 0:16:21In May, 2011, who at the age of 46 became the oldest man to win a boxing world title

0:16:21 > 0:16:24after defeating Canadian Jean Pascal?

0:16:29 > 0:16:34I haven't heard of Felix Trinidad, but then boxing is, like cricket,

0:16:34 > 0:16:36one of my worst sports.

0:16:36 > 0:16:41I have heard of Roy Jones Jr and Bernard Hopkins.

0:16:41 > 0:16:46Roy Jones Jr I thought is probably getting on a bit for a boxer.

0:16:46 > 0:16:52Because I think he's going to be around that age, I'm going to say Roy Jones Jr.

0:16:52 > 0:16:57Roy Jones Jr getting on a bit, you feel. 46. It's not him.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00No, it is Bernard Hopkins.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02Bernard Hopkins.

0:17:02 > 0:17:06- I could have told you that. - Now I can't check that, Judith,

0:17:06 > 0:17:11but I know you wouldn't fib, so we'll...

0:17:13 > 0:17:14Pinocchio.

0:17:14 > 0:17:18No. Well, a chance here, Judith, to take us into Sudden Death.

0:17:18 > 0:17:24If not, you go out. The Cherry Hinton Stakes, a race for fillies, is run at which race course?

0:17:26 > 0:17:29Well, again I really don't know.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Let's have a go at Goodwood. - OK, Goodwood.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Right, Goodwood. Em...

0:17:37 > 0:17:39- No?- No.

0:17:39 > 0:17:44Not as such. It's Newmarket for the Cherry Hinton Stakes.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47Let's look at the scoreboard again.

0:17:47 > 0:17:52- No, don't let's bother! Let's go home now.- I'm really enjoying it.

0:17:52 > 0:17:59One-nil to Tony and you're through to the final round. Both please come back and join your teams.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03That's looking better. You've still lost two brains,

0:18:03 > 0:18:09but Tony's comprehensive victory there means the Eggheads have lost one brain.

0:18:09 > 0:18:13Our last subject is Film and TV. Robert or Peter to play.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16I think that will probably be me.

0:18:16 > 0:18:20- That'll be myself.- OK, Peter. Who would you like to play?

0:18:20 > 0:18:25- Remaining for you are Kevin or Daphne.- I'd love to play Daphne.

0:18:25 > 0:18:30Your wish is granted. Into the Question Room, Peter and Daphne.

0:18:31 > 0:18:36OK, Peter, is this the start of a revival for the Earley Birds?

0:18:36 > 0:18:41- Do you want to go first or second? - If I was a gentleman, I'd say, "Ladies first,"

0:18:41 > 0:18:44but I'm not, so I'll go first, please.

0:18:47 > 0:18:54All right, Peter, first question. Which of the ITV franchise stations had its headquarters in Manchester?

0:18:57 > 0:19:01Em, well, I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't be Southern.

0:19:01 > 0:19:08And I associate Granada with Coronation Street, which is set up there, so I'll say Granada.

0:19:08 > 0:19:13Not really too hard to work out. Granada is the right answer.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15You'd think he'd won!

0:19:15 > 0:19:22Daphne, in 2011, who became the host of the BBC renovation programme Village SOS?

0:19:25 > 0:19:28Oh, dear. I haven't seen it.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Sarah Beeny.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39Sarah Beeny? It's the right answer. Well worked out, Daphne.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43Or something there. Maybe read the listings. I know you do that.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45OK, Peter.

0:19:45 > 0:19:50"To me. To you," is the catchphrase of which children's TV entertainers?

0:19:53 > 0:19:58"To me. To you," is the catchphrase of which children's TV entertainers?

0:19:58 > 0:20:03Well, I do find myself saying it when carrying a table with a friend

0:20:03 > 0:20:08or something along those lines. It's not Dick and Dom or The Krankies. The Chuckle Brothers.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11It is The Chuckle Brothers.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15To me. To you. Big Chuckle Brothers fans here, I'm sure.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Daphne,

0:20:17 > 0:20:25which actor had one of his first successes as gangster Duke Mantee in 1936's The Petrified Forest?

0:20:28 > 0:20:30I think this is more my era.

0:20:30 > 0:20:34Em, Humphrey Bogart.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37Well, you know...

0:20:37 > 0:20:43Before. But it is Humphrey Bogart. Yes, well identified there. The Petrified Forest.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45OK.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47All square. Going well, Peter.

0:20:47 > 0:20:54Who played Athos in the 1973 film The Three Musketeers and its sequel The Four Musketeers?

0:20:59 > 0:21:03I haven't got a clue. I'm going to hope some of Daphne's luck rubs off

0:21:03 > 0:21:06with me having a blind guess.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10That's what this is going to be. I'm going to say Richard Chamberlain.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13You know Daphne so well, yes.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15The odd blind guess.

0:21:15 > 0:21:20But this hasn't worked. No, it is... Do you know, Daphne?

0:21:20 > 0:21:25- No! I'd have gone for...- Which one? - Oliver Reed.- Who played Athos.

0:21:25 > 0:21:31They were all in those films. So Oliver Reed there and a chance for Daphne.

0:21:31 > 0:21:38In the US sitcom Seinfeld, what is the name of the mailman who is regarded as Jerry's nemesis?

0:21:41 > 0:21:43I don't watch it.

0:21:45 > 0:21:46Sorry!

0:21:47 > 0:21:50I think it might be...

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Newman?

0:21:52 > 0:21:57See, that's the guessing you wanted to emulate. It's right. Done it again!

0:21:57 > 0:22:01- I'm sorry.- Say sorry to Peter.

0:22:01 > 0:22:02Sorry, Peter.

0:22:02 > 0:22:06Bad luck, Peter. You're not in the final round. Daphne, you are.

0:22:06 > 0:22:10Both please come back and join your teams.

0:22:10 > 0:22:15Well, this is what we've been playing towards. Time for the final round, which is General Knowledge,

0:22:15 > 0:22:18but I'm afraid those of you who lost

0:22:18 > 0:22:23won't be allowed to take part. So Carmen, Peter and Tim

0:22:23 > 0:22:26and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?

0:22:27 > 0:22:31So Robert and Tony, you're playing to win the Earley Birds £4,000.

0:22:31 > 0:22:38Pat, Kevin, CJ and Daphne, you're playing for something money can't buy - The Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:38 > 0:22:45As usual, I ask each team three questions. They're all General Knowledge and you can confer.

0:22:45 > 0:22:51So, Robert and Tony, the question is are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:22:51 > 0:22:53Would you like to go first or second?

0:22:53 > 0:22:59OK. Given that Tony went first and won his round, we'll stick with that and go first.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05OK, going first, then. Here's your question.

0:23:05 > 0:23:11On The Floor, featuring Pitbull, was a 2011 UK number one single for which performer?

0:23:15 > 0:23:22On The Floor, featuring Pitbull, was a 2011 UK number one single for which performer?

0:23:22 > 0:23:26Given that we get the music rounds regularly at the quiz,

0:23:26 > 0:23:30I'm pretty sure this is one that featured in it for us.

0:23:30 > 0:23:35- So I'm pretty sure it's Jennifer Lopez.- Yeah, OK.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38- We're pretty sure. Jennifer Lopez. - Jennifer Lopez?

0:23:38 > 0:23:42J-Lo. It is Jennifer Lopez. It's correct.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44OK, Eggheads,

0:23:44 > 0:23:51the Polish trade union Solidarity was formed in 1980 having been sparked by a strike

0:23:51 > 0:23:53at what facility in Gdansk?

0:23:56 > 0:24:01the Polish trade union Solidarity was formed in 1980

0:24:01 > 0:24:05having been sparked by a strike at what facility in Gdansk?

0:24:05 > 0:24:10- Shipyard? - I was there a few weeks ago.

0:24:10 > 0:24:16I was actually there a few weeks ago. There's a whacking great monument outside. It's a shipyard.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19Shipyard. Led, of course, by...

0:24:19 > 0:24:22- Lech Walesa.- Shipyard, correct.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25Over to the Earley Birds.

0:24:25 > 0:24:32Egypt Point, Culver Down and St Catherine's Point are all locations on which island?

0:24:36 > 0:24:42Egypt Point, Culver Down and St Catherine's Point are all locations on which island?

0:24:42 > 0:24:48- I...- I don't think it's the Isle of Wight.- I was going to say I've been there.- So have I.- A few years ago.

0:24:48 > 0:24:52I don't remember any of them being there.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55I don't remember Egypt Point or Culver Down.

0:24:55 > 0:25:03- No, there's a lighthouse there, isn't there?- St Catherine's Point. - St Catherine's Point.- Needles?

0:25:03 > 0:25:06- Yeah.- I thought that was by the Needles.

0:25:06 > 0:25:11- So it could be that.- You call things Downs in the south of England?

0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Yeah.- I'd say Isle of Wight.- OK.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Given that we're not entirely sure

0:25:16 > 0:25:20and we figure that St Catherine's lighthouse is on the Isle of Wight,

0:25:20 > 0:25:23- we'll go with Isle of Wight.- OK.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27You were going to rule it out, but you've got the right answer.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31- High five, my son!- Two to you.

0:25:31 > 0:25:38Eggheads, in the Warner Bros cartoons, which fictitious company supplied Wile E Coyote

0:25:38 > 0:25:43with a succession of gadgets which he used to try to capture Roadrunner?

0:25:45 > 0:25:51in the Warner Bros cartoons, which fictitious company supplied Wile E Coyote

0:25:51 > 0:25:55with a succession of gadgets which he used to try to capture Roadrunner?

0:25:55 > 0:25:57Acme.

0:25:57 > 0:26:01- That's Acme.- Yes, it is! OK, all square again.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Third question.

0:26:03 > 0:26:08In what year, with the passing of the Mint Act,

0:26:08 > 0:26:12did the dollar become the official monetary unit of the United States?

0:26:18 > 0:26:21In what year, with the passing of the Mint Act,

0:26:21 > 0:26:26did the dollar become the official monetary unit of the United States?

0:26:26 > 0:26:32My thinking on this is I would guess it's after American independence.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36- Or around then, anyway. - So 1739 is too early.- Yes.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42I never remember exactly what year independence was. Late 1700s.

0:26:42 > 0:26:46- It's 1776.- So I would go for the year after.- The year after?- Yeah.

0:26:46 > 0:26:51OK. So we're thinking 1739 is a little too early

0:26:51 > 0:26:55and we figure we're going to go with 1777.

0:26:55 > 0:26:591777. The year after American independence.

0:26:59 > 0:27:04It's not the right answer. On the right track, though, Eggheads.

0:27:04 > 0:27:08- Should have gone for...- The American government wasn't established

0:27:08 > 0:27:12as a government until the 1780s with the new constitution.

0:27:12 > 0:27:18They had great battles over whether to have a national bank and various financial institutions.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21- So it's 1792.- 1792.

0:27:21 > 0:27:26- On the right track...- Sorry. - ..but incorrect. A chance here.

0:27:26 > 0:27:30What name is given to the philosophical study of the nature of being?

0:27:34 > 0:27:38What name is given to the philosophical study of the nature of being?

0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Ontology.- It's ontology.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44Right? That's ontology.

0:27:44 > 0:27:49- Ontology?- Yes.- It's the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.

0:27:52 > 0:27:56- Never mind, eh? - Never mind, eh?

0:27:56 > 0:28:03I like the way you said that! The kind of thing your mum would say when you were a kid and fell over.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06Well done, Earley Birds. Nice to see you, nice game.

0:28:06 > 0:28:12Those Head to Heads just didn't go your way. Tony squeezing through against Judith.

0:28:12 > 0:28:17Great to see you and best of luck with the quizzing in future at the Maiden Over,

0:28:17 > 0:28:22but the Eggheads have done what comes naturally and reign supreme.

0:28:22 > 0:28:28You won't be going home with £4,000 and that means the money rolls over to the next show.

0:28:28 > 0:28:32Eggheads, congratulations. I will ask who will beat you?

0:28:32 > 0:28:38Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers can defeat them. £5,000 says they don't.

0:28:38 > 0:28:40Until then, goodbye.
