0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:29pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads. Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:34 > 0:00:37are the Phoenix Knights.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40They take their name from the social club they meet at,
0:00:40 > 0:00:43based in Worthing. Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Peter. I'm 72. I'm a retired tax inspector.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hello. I'm Eddie. I'm 64. I'm a retired accountant.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Hello. I'm Paul. I'm 62 and a retired science teacher.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi. I'm Colin. I'm 61 and I'm an HR consultant.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Hi. I'm Kirk. I'm 49 and I'm an NHS supervisor.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Welcome to you, Phoenix Knights. Fans of Peter Kay then.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12I didn't know there was a real Phoenix club.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- There it is, down in Worthing. - That's right.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Your social club, do you have things like bands and Talent Trek
0:01:19 > 0:01:24- and things like that? - It's mainly a sports and social club.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28So four of us play badminton together regularly.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Other sports are played there as well. And we also do quiz nights.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33That's what I wanted to hear!
0:01:33 > 0:01:37- Presumably, it's a very hard, tough, competitive quiz.- Not too bad.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42Not quite as hard, tough and competitive as this one may turn out to be.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Best of luck. Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs.
0:01:46 > 0:01:52If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54The Eggheads have won the last six games.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59That means £7,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04OK, our first battle, the first subject is Film and Television.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09- Who'd like to kick us off?- Kirk. - Looks like it's me.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14- Who are you going to take on? - You can pick any Egghead, of course.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Shall we have a go at Chris? - Yeah, sure. OK.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Chris, yeah.- Kirk, you're going to take on Chris.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22The subject is Film and Television.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Could I ask you both, please, to go to the question room?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29That is so you can't confer with your team-mates.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Well, Kirk, first in to joust for the Phoenix Nights.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I'd like to go first, please.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Good luck. Film and television. And your first question is this.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Which sport is featured
0:02:47 > 0:02:51in the Academy Award nominated documentary film Hoop Dreams?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58I think I'll rule out rugby league. It's one of my favourite sports.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I don't think it's rugby league.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Hoops I know they use in basketball,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07but they also use a sort of hoop thing in croquet.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11But I think the obvious answer is basketball,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13so I'll go for basketball.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16There was an ominous intake of breath
0:03:16 > 0:03:20when you mentioned hoops in croquet as well from your team-mates.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24But you were just letting us know and you got the right answer.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Basketball. Hoop Dreams. Your first question, Chris.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33Kacey Ainsworth joined the cast of EastEnders in 2000,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36playing which character?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I'm not Judith. I've never watched EastEnders,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42having spent most of my life living in a not dissimilar area.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Kacey Ainsworth, she's a young lass. Erm...
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Not Chrissie, not Sonia. Little Mo.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52And the answer is Little Mo. Well done.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55All square.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Kirk, who played the title roles in the 2010 film
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Alice in Wonderland and the 2011 film Jane Eyre?
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Well, I saw Jane Eyre...
0:04:12 > 0:04:16..and I thought the lead performance was excellent.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20I seem to remember that she had a Polish name.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22So I think on that basis,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I'm going to go for Mia Wasikowska.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26OK, well remembered.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28It's the right answer.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Chris.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Which Hollywood actor directed and starred in
0:04:32 > 0:04:35the 2011 political thriller The Ides Of March?
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Hmm.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Think Redford's semi-retired now.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Political thriller.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Ben Affleck tends to do more cerebral stuff,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49so I'll go with George Clooney.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Yeah. It's the right answer. Well done.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54And third question apiece. Kirk, going really well.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59Kirk, who directed the first in the Rocky series of films?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05This is going to be a guess.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09I'm going to rule out Sylvester Stallone...
0:05:09 > 0:05:13for no particular reason, except that I know he wrote it,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16so I just don't think he was ready for directing at the time.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I'm going to go for John G Avildsen.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22- That's my answer.- OK, yes.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Sylvester Stallone deeply involved with that.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26I mean, it was a project
0:05:26 > 0:05:29he had to tout around for a long time, wasn't it, to get it made?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32And what a success it turned out to be.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Directed, though, by John G Avildsen.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Well done!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41And, Chris, it means you've got to get this.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45The TV sitcom The Vicar Of Dibley was set in which county?
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Well, the opening credits have got the M40 where it goes through
0:05:51 > 0:05:52the limestone ridge of the Chilterns,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54so dropping down from there,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56it should by rights be Oxfordshire.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58THEY LAUGH
0:05:58 > 0:06:02You with your love of transport identifying it by the roads.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Yeah.- It's the right answer, yes. Oxfordshire. Well done.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Not by the churches or anything like that, no. The roads.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12OK, well, we go to Sudden Death. First round, first Sudden Death.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Kirk, this means you're both quizzing so incredibly well,
0:06:15 > 0:06:17we're going to make it a lot harder to sort out a winner
0:06:17 > 0:06:18and take away those choices.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20So, just got to hear an answer from you.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25Who played the role of Penny in the BBC sitcom Just Good Friends?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I don't remember seeing Just Good Friends, or if I did,
0:06:28 > 0:06:30it was quite a few years ago.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- No, I'm going to have to pass on that, Dermot.- OK.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Yes, I mean, it was such a huge hit, wasn't it, in the '80s?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41The on-off relationship in Just Good Friends.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Do you know, Chris?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Yeah, Jan Francis.- Jan Francis.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Yeah, well remembered.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Just slipped your mind there, Kirk.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I'm sure you saw it at the time.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52But, first chance then, for Chris.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Chris, who was the host of the TV game show Celebrity Squares
0:06:56 > 0:07:00when it started on British television in 1975?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Er...
0:07:02 > 0:07:04That was Bob Monkhouse, surely?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- Is that your answer?- Yeah.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Bob Monkhouse is correct.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Well...
0:07:10 > 0:07:12great round there. Bad luck, Kirk.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Jan Francis just evading you. I'm sure you would've got it
0:07:15 > 0:07:17in the first three questions in the multiple choice.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19But it went to Sudden Death,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22and Chris has clinched it. You won't be in the final round, Kirk.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Well, great round to start us off,
0:07:28 > 0:07:32but the Phoenix Knights have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33The Eggheads are all there.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35And our next subject is History.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Now, well, Knights, I would expect you all to enjoy History.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Do you think...?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I think that'll be Eddie. I think.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44THEY DISCUSS
0:07:44 > 0:07:47All right, Eddie, well, who do you want to go into combat against?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Which Egghead? It can't be Chris.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50I don't know. They're all good.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- They're all good at History, aren't they?- Yeah.- Take the least good?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Go for CJ. CJ.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58OK, CJ. With a grin.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59THEY LAUGH
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Let's have Eddie and CJ into the Question Room, please.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Eddie, would you like to go first or second?
0:08:07 > 0:08:08I'd like to go first, please.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Eddie, first question for you.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16The 30 Years' War was a series of European conflicts
0:08:16 > 0:08:18that occurred during which century?
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Well, I think we can certainly rule out the 19th century...
0:08:25 > 0:08:28because there...
0:08:28 > 0:08:32wasn't time for it with all the other conflicts that were going on.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34So, I'm going to go...
0:08:34 > 0:08:38I'm not absolutely certain, but I'm going to go for the 15th century.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40OK, the 15th century for the 30 Years' War. CJ?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- 17th, I think.- It's 17th century.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Anyone give me the date?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Was this like the 100 Years' War - it wasn't 30 years?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- No, it was 30 years. - It was 30 years.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- ALL SPEAK AT ONCE - 1618-1648, I think.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Everyone's telling me! 1618-1648.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Well, everyone apart from you, Eddie.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58This was the important player here.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00So, nothing there. CJ.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Which American president gave the first televised
0:09:03 > 0:09:06presidential address from the White House,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09in which he asked American citizens to conserve food
0:09:09 > 0:09:12in order to benefit post-war Europe?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Well, it's not Eisenhower.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Depends if it was the First World War or the Second World War.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Wilson was president until 1921, I think.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Which was three years after, whereas Harry S Truman came in in 1945.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34So it makes sense it was Truman after World War II,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36so I'll try Harry S Truman.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Yeah, even with the Americans, I don't think TV was around much
0:09:39 > 0:09:41before the Second World War.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43It's the right answer, yes. Harry S Truman.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48OK, and need to get you off the mark then, Eddie.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51In British history, Hortense Mancini
0:09:51 > 0:09:54was a popular figure in the court of which king?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01It sounds like an Italian name.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05But that doesn't really help me very much.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10I'm going to take a complete guess again - Charles II.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Charles II...
0:10:12 > 0:10:14is correct. You're on the board.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16CJ, your second question.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21Marie-Jose de Savoy was the last queen of which country,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24reigning for just over a month in 1946?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I think the last monarch of Italy was Umberto II,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32and I think the last monarch of Greece was Constan.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Constan whatever-his-name-was.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Er...
0:10:37 > 0:10:38So, simply cos I know...
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I think I know the last monarchs of Italy and Greece, I'll try Spain.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Yeah, but they've still got one, haven't they?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Oh! - THEY LAUGH
0:10:47 > 0:10:48Oh, dear. Yeah.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Yeah, it's Italy. And Savoy the link there, I think.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52- House of Savoy, yeah.- House of Savoy.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Victor Emmanuel died and she was queen for a month
0:10:55 > 0:10:56before they abolished the monarchy.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Queen for a month in 1946 over Italy.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00CJ getting confused, Eddie, to your benefit.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04It's all square now, and this puts you in the lead if you get it.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09What name was given to the process of freeing serfs or slaves?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Oh, my goodness! Erm...
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Again, I've got no idea.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Escheat, I think, is a modern term,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25so I'm going to discount escheat.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Manumission...
0:11:29 > 0:11:34again, I don't think it's that, so I'm going to go for infangthief.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Infangthief. All wonderful words...
0:11:38 > 0:11:40..but I didn't want to hear that from you. It's not correct. CJ?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- I would've tried manumission. - Manumission.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Manumission. The process of freeing serfs or slaves.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50So, a chance to wrap it up, CJ.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52With four different husbands,
0:11:52 > 0:11:56which of Henry VIII's wives was married the most number of times?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01With four different husbands,
0:12:01 > 0:12:05which of Henry VIII's wives was married the most number of times?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Simply cos I know she was long-lived
0:12:08 > 0:12:11and married at least one more time, I'll try Catherine Parr.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13It is the right answer.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Well worked out, CJ. Catherine Parr.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Married four times in total, which puts you through to the final round.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Well, let's look at the standings after that.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Two Knights put to the sword so far.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29The Eggheads all still fighting fit.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32And our next subject today is Sport.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Who'd like to play this one then?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- Peter, Paul or Colin? - Go on, then. Go on, then.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Who am I going to take out of that lot, then?- Oh, dear.- Sport.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I would think, probably...
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Because he's expecting it, isn't he?- Daphne, please.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48OK, so, not Pat or Barry. Going for Daphne on Sport.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50They know not what they do, do they?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52THEY LAUGH
0:12:52 > 0:12:55The Venus flytrap. OK.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Let's have you both into the Question Room, please,
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Colin and Daphne.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04All right. Colin, let's see if the tide turns here.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Do you want to go first or second?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Good luck, Colin. It's Sport, and your first question is this -
0:13:14 > 0:13:18John Gosden became famous as a trainer in which sport?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I guess there are many more...
0:13:23 > 0:13:25trainers in horse racing than swimming or boxing,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27so I'll go horse racing.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I see, on the percentages. Right to do so.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Yes, John Gosden,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35a very famous and prolific winning trainer.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36And, Daphne -
0:13:36 > 0:13:40what's the first name of the nephew of Ayrton Senna,
0:13:40 > 0:13:44who made his debut as a Formula 1 driver in 2010?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Haven't heard this.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49Bruno Senna,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52(Boris and Bernard.)
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Oh, I like the sound of Bruno.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Bruno, OK. So, a guess?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- A guess.- Of course!
0:13:59 > 0:14:01And the right answer, of course.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Of course, Daphne! Goes without saying.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Daphne has a guess and in it goes.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Not always though. OK, Colin's second question.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14Who won the men's 100m final at the Athletics World Championships
0:14:14 > 0:14:18in 2011 when Usain Bolt was controversially disqualified
0:14:18 > 0:14:20after one false start?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27We were all watching Usain Bolt, weren't we?
0:14:27 > 0:14:32Erm... Christophe Lemaitre didn't, as far as I remember.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37And Walter Dix sounds like a European runner.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42I don't think it was an European runner. So I'll go for Yohan Blake.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Well worked out. Right answer, yes.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50A really tricky question and well negotiated by Colin.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53And your next question then, Daphne.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57When Great Britain won tennis's Davis Cup in 1936,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00it brought the total number of victories to how many?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Gosh! Eeny, meeny, miney, moe, again, I think.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12Let's see, started in 1900...
0:15:12 > 0:15:20I suppose we were quite good early on, so I will guess again at nine.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Yeah, that's right.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28OK, both of you going magnificently and we go to a third question.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30This one for Colin.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34The Thomas Lipton Trophy, which took place in Italy in 1909
0:15:34 > 0:15:38and 1911, is seen as a predecessor to which competition?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Goodness! Erm...
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Thomas Lipton. The tea man, presumably.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Why would you be competing in Italy?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56It's not the Ryder Cup because that's...
0:15:56 > 0:15:59originally was between the UK and the USA.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02So you wouldn't have a forerunner in Italy.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05I'll go for the Winter Olympics.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08The Winter Olympics in Italy. Thomas Lipton Trophy.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11It's not. It's your first incorrect answer.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Daphne, of the other two options?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- Well, I might have gone for the Ryder Cup.- No. Interesting.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23- It's the Football World Cup.- Right. - But a chance for Daphne.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27The Hungarian sportsman Pal Szekeres won both Olympic
0:16:27 > 0:16:30and Paralympic medals in which sport?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Another guess coming up!
0:16:36 > 0:16:38The only thing I can think of
0:16:38 > 0:16:44is that the Hungarians were very good at fencing,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47so I'll go for fencing.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Fencing, bit of a guess?
0:16:48 > 0:16:53- Yes.- Yeah. Well, of course it is. And of course it's right!
0:16:53 > 0:16:57It is correct, Daphne. How she does it!
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Colin, seeing a master...
0:17:01 > 0:17:04or a mistress at her work there.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Fantastic quizzing there, Daphne.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Always a bit of information in her head that perhaps
0:17:10 > 0:17:14she doesn't share with us when those guesses are landed.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18But it means, Colin, you're not in the final round. Daphne, you are.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:17:22 > 0:17:27Good Knights, one and all, who've fallen so far, but fallen you have.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Three brains gone from the final round and all the Eggheads
0:17:31 > 0:17:34still there, salivating over the final round!
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Let's get rid of one of them, at least.
0:17:36 > 0:17:42This head-to-head is Geography. And Paul or Peter can play.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- I'll take that one.- Peter, do stay with us and choose your opponent.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- You've got Pat or Barry. - I will go for Barry.
0:17:50 > 0:17:56OK, it's going to be Peter and Barry playing Geography, both, from the question room, please.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Peter, do you want to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07And it's Geography, of course.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach are resorts in which US state?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I think I'll rule out Maine
0:18:16 > 0:18:20because they've got a sort of Spanish feel to them.
0:18:20 > 0:18:26In which case, it could be California or Florida.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30But I suppose California is perhaps more Spanish,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32so I'll go for California.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35California for those beaches. Correct, yes. Good start.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Barry, what colour is the triangular section
0:18:39 > 0:18:41of the Czech Republic's flag?
0:18:43 > 0:18:44That's helpful(!)
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Those are the three colours of the Czech Republic's flag!
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I've got to try and picture it in my mind.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Blue.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- You finally saw it, did you? - Yes, I think so!
0:18:58 > 0:19:00The old brain clicking over.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03The projector, somebody turned the lights on!
0:19:03 > 0:19:09It's the right answer, well done! Just kept himself in it.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Nearly a big opening for you, Peter.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15But started very assuredly yourself. Second question.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18The archaeologically significant island group
0:19:18 > 0:19:23called the Egadi Islands lies off the coast of which European island?
0:19:27 > 0:19:32Erm... I will, maybe incorrectly, but I'll eliminate Cyprus.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36I've been there. I did national service there.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41- Oh, really?- And the erm...other two... They sound Italian...
0:19:42 > 0:19:44..so it could be either.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49The biggest island is Sicily, so we'll go for Sicily.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50OK.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Good knowledge there of your Mediterranean islands
0:19:53 > 0:19:55and it's the right one, yes!
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Sicily, with the Egadi Islands offshore. Well done, Peter.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Barry, Gaping Gill, one of the largest caverns in Britain
0:20:03 > 0:20:06is located in which National Park?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I've been down Gaping Gill and it's in the Yorkshire Dales.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Wish we could throw you back down there now!
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- Fell very nicely for you. - It did indeed.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Gaping Gill in the Yorkshire Dales.
0:20:20 > 0:20:26The Heights of Abraham featuring an Alpine-style cable car system
0:20:26 > 0:20:31is a popular tourist destination near which English town?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Fortunately, I've been in that area.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I think it's in the county of Derbyshire, so it'll be Matlock.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Matlock. It's only fair you got that after Barry got Gaping Gill.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Let's confirm Matlock is correct. A lot of people didn't know that.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Matlock should sing that from the rooftops. Sounds great fun,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51going up the Heights of Abraham.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Well, it means you've got to get this, then, Barry.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58What is the capital of the French Departement of Loire?
0:21:02 > 0:21:08It's certainly not Dijon. I'm trying to think where Saint-Etienne is.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13- I don't think it's Saint-Etienne. I think it's Le Mans.- Le Mans.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16You could sit there for 24 hours and still be getting it wrong.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Wrong! No, it's Saint-Etienne.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24So, Peter, I think, deservedly through to the final round.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Great quizzing from Peter.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Booking your place alongside Paul in the final.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36So this is what we've been playing towards. It's the final.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43Those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:21:43 > 0:21:46to take part, so, Eddie, Colin and Kirk from the Phoenix Knights,
0:21:46 > 0:21:50and Barry from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio?
0:21:51 > 0:21:56Peter and Paul, you're playing to win the Phoenix Knights £7,000.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00CJ, Daphne, Chris and Pat, you're playing for something
0:22:00 > 0:22:03which money cannot buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I ask each team three questions.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10This time, the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:10 > 0:22:16Peter and Paul, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- Peter and Paul, do you want to go first or second? - We'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Good luck to you. The first question is this.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31In 2011, who became the first musician to win a second
0:22:31 > 0:22:36Mercury Prize when she won for her album Let England Shake?
0:22:41 > 0:22:42I don't know where it comes from,
0:22:42 > 0:22:46but I would be inclined to go for PJ Harvey.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51- I've never heard of Beth Orton.- I think Beth Orton is a country singer.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56And Anna Calvi I haven't heard of. I have heard of PJ Harvey.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01So a 50% guess, we'll go for PJ Harvey, Dermot.
0:23:01 > 0:23:0550%, narrowing it down and getting it right. Yes, PJ Harvey.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Good start there. Let England Shake.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Are the Eggheads going to be shaking after this?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Will the quiz world be aflutter?
0:23:14 > 0:23:18OK, in the history of mobile telecommunications,
0:23:18 > 0:23:22the first commercial 3G network was launched in which country in 2001?
0:23:26 > 0:23:31- We've got to play the percentages and go for Japan.- Yeah.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Assuming it's not Canada! Japan's the percentage answer, isn't it?
0:23:35 > 0:23:40Docomo was a big mobile network.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44And the Japanese public telephone crowd are huge, NKK,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46or whatever they're called.
0:23:47 > 0:23:54- Are we going to go for Japan? - It's the logical answer.- OK. Agreed?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58We don't know, Dermot, but we're going for Japan.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Japan is the right answer. Japan is correct, Eggheads.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Had to think about it though.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08OK, Phoenix Knights, Peter and Paul, second question.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Which President of the United States had the secret service codename Rawhide?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Which President of the United States
0:24:18 > 0:24:21had the secret service codename Rawhide?
0:24:21 > 0:24:26- I guess Reagan.- Well, he was in cowboy films.- Yes, he was.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31- And I wouldn't have thought it was Bill Clinton.- Or George Bush.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- I think the logical answer's Reagan. - I think so.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38I think we'll go for Ronald Reagan.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42OK, Ronald Reagan for Rawhide. And yes, right answer.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Maybe some of those cowboy films he'd been in behind that,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47as you were speculating.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Eggheads, the stage show Betty Blue Eyes, which opened
0:24:50 > 0:24:55in the West End in April 2011, is based on which comedy film?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02The stage show Betty Blue Eyes, which opened in the West End
0:25:02 > 0:25:05in April 2011, is based on which comedy film?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07That's A Private Function.
0:25:07 > 0:25:13Is the right answer, yes. A Private Function.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15OK. Well, all square.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18This could win you the money, you never know.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22The European Organisation For Nuclear Research, commonly known
0:25:22 > 0:25:27as CERN, was established in Geneva in which decade?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- Not the '90s.- Not recently. - No. '70s?
0:25:34 > 0:25:38I mean, they had the atomic bomb,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41was in the '40s, wasn't it?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- Yes.- It depends when they got their act together about it.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49- And the Missile Crisis in the '60s. - I'd go for the '70s, wouldn't you?
0:25:49 > 0:25:54- Or do you think earlier?- I'd go for the '50s, but I don't know.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59- I defer to you. I think I will. - Well, you're the spokesman.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00I would say the '60s.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04I think with some hesitation,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07we'll go for the '50s, Dermot.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12Bit of thought about that. You rather favouring the '70s.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- It's the 1950s. It is correct!- Well done.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20Can any Egghead tell me the precise date and what CERN stands for?
0:26:20 > 0:26:25I think that's Centre Europeen pour la Recherche Nucleaire.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30OK, and the year? 1950s, we only wanted the decade. 1954.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35OK. Well, Eggheads, don't ponder on that one.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38A lot of pondering on this one. You need this to stay alive.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42The author who wrote historical thrillers under the name
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Ariana Franklin was married to which TV personality?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Oh, dear.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52I've no idea.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- No idea.- No idea.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Presumably, that's not her real name. So...
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Do we know if any of those were married to an author?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Why is Barry Norman nagging me about being married to an author?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Don't know.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11His daughter's a journalist.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15For some reason, Norman was nagging me about being married to a writer.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17But I've got nothing to go on.
0:27:18 > 0:27:24David Dimbleby kind of sounds of a bookish...type of person.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26But that's not very scientific.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31- Can we even eliminate any of them? - I'm not sure we can.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34They're all TV personalities. There's no reason why any of them
0:27:34 > 0:27:37shouldn't be married to an authoress.
0:27:37 > 0:27:42- You choose.- It's just a wild pick. - It's a wild pick.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47A wild pick, we're at sea completely, David Dimbleby.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49OK, David Dimbleby.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Married of course, previously to Josceline Dimbleby,
0:27:52 > 0:27:56who wrote those cookery books. It's Barry Norman!
0:27:56 > 0:28:00As CJ thought, Barry Norman. Which means you've won!
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Congratulations, Phoenix Knights!
0:28:07 > 0:28:12All those head-to-heads, you quizzed really well, but didn't manage to make it through to the final.
0:28:12 > 0:28:18You must have thought the luck wasn't with you. You didn't need any luck in this round.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22You really put it to the Eggheads. Very assured quizzing.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26And then the Eggheads stumbling, which means you've won £7,000.
0:28:26 > 0:28:32Take that away, followed by our congratulations. Phoenix Knights, thank you very much indeed.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads. You've proved they can be beaten.
0:28:36 > 0:28:41Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Until then, goodbye.
