0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:30against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:34 > 0:00:36are The Wonder Techs.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Now, this team of colleagues all work for Middlesbrough Council,
0:00:39 > 0:00:40so let's meet them.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Hi, I'm Steph. I'm 31, and I'm a school-based data technician.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Graham. I'm 47, and I'm a data team manager.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Rich, I'm 27, and I'm a school-based data technician.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Alex. I'm 32, and I'm an office-based data technician.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm David. I'm 47, and I'm a performance manager.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Well, welcome come to you, Wonder Techs.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Right, well, you're all techies, are you? IT specialists?
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Yeah, in one form or another. Yeah.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07So looking forward, one would think, to a Science round,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- should that come up?- Yeah, possibly. - Thought out the tactics otherwise?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I mean, do you quiz together, have you competed as a team?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Yeah, we do a bit. We've had a couple of out-of-hours quizzes
0:01:16 > 0:01:19that we've been to, and done moderately well, yeah.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Moderately well. Well, I suppose that's how you would describe...
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Under the influence of a few pints, kind of...let our guard down a bit.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Do you know what - maybe that's an idea for Eggheads.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32No, under no influence here whatsoever,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34apart from the quiz questions.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36So Wonder Techs, let me tell you what's been going on here.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Every day there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for challengers. However,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over
0:01:43 > 0:01:44to the next show.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Wonder Techs, the challengers actually won the last game.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48That proves it can be done
0:01:48 > 0:01:52and means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55So our first head-to-head is on the subject of Arts & Books.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Looking down the line there, wondering who wants to play this.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Arts & Books.- I think that's going to be you.- Yeah?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- You want to go?- I'm happy with that.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05And who do you think we should go against?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I think the choice is yours!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- We'll have Barry, do you reckon? - Yep.- Barry?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Yep, that'll be me, and I'd like to pick Barry, please.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14OK, well, very decisive there.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Steph's going to take on Barry on Arts & Books and, as you know,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I need to send you to the Question Room
0:02:19 > 0:02:23to make sure you can't confer. So off you go.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26So, Steph, what about Arts & Books then, for you?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Are you keen on literature and works of art?
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Yeah, I do like to read every now and then. I like visiting museums, yeah.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33OK, well, no better place
0:02:33 > 0:02:37to put it to the test than against an Egghead in the Question Room.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Do you want to go first or second? - I'd like to go second.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43That means Barry starts us off today,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46and, Barry, this is your question.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48In the title of a play by Shakespeare,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Timon hails from which city?
0:02:53 > 0:02:54He was Timon Of Athens.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Timon Of Athens is correct. I'm sure you knew that one, Steph,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01but choosing to go with the second set.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05For what does the D stand in the name of the English novelist
0:03:05 > 0:03:07DH Lawrence?
0:03:10 > 0:03:11I'm not 100% sure.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I can't see it being Digby.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I think I'll go for David, but it's an educated guess.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21OK. David H Lawrence.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23It's the right answer, yes, and, Barry, do you know the H?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- Herbert.- Herbert.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29David Herbert Lawrence, no wonder he just called himself DH!
0:03:29 > 0:03:31OK.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Your second question, Barry.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37In publishing, what name is given to a preliminary version
0:03:37 > 0:03:39of a book that contains many printing errors?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Ah, I've not heard this one.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I can't see it being called Funk Proof,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51so is it filthy or foul?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Gosh, I suppose you could argue a case for both of them.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57A filthy proof or a foul proof...?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I think filthy has all the connotations,
0:04:01 > 0:04:03so I shall go for a foul proof.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Yeah, I see how you were working it out, and getting it right.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Yes, well done. Foul proof.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12With lots of errors. Well, no errors so far in this round.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14And your next question, then, Steph.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17What is the name of the theatre
0:04:17 > 0:04:19located in the basement of the Barbican Centre in London?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Again, I'm not 100% sure,
0:04:24 > 0:04:28so I'm going to go with what my gut says, which is The Pit.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30The Pit...
0:04:30 > 0:04:33is the right answer, yes, well done. Have you ever been to it?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- No.- No, OK.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37It's all-square still, and, Barry...
0:04:37 > 0:04:42Roger Hiorns, who was nominated for the 2009 Turner Prize,
0:04:42 > 0:04:46created his work Seizure by filling an empty flat
0:04:46 > 0:04:47with a solution of which chemical?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Well, I can't imagine it would be Hydrogen Peroxide,
0:04:54 > 0:04:56that would be quite dangerous.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59So that leaves us with Calcium Chloride or Copper Sulphate.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Hmm. Green or blue?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05I think Copper Sulphate would look better,
0:05:05 > 0:05:06so we'll go with Copper Sulphate.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08OK. It's the right answer,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Yes, well done. You and Roger thinking alike there.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Don't know what happened when he got home and opened the door.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18It means you've got to get this, Steph.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Barry's done well with his first three.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23It means you need to get this to take us into Sudden Death.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26One of the most celebrated paintings by Edward Burne-Jones
0:05:26 > 0:05:28now in the Tate Collection
0:05:28 > 0:05:31depicts which king sitting at the feet of a beggar maid?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37You know, I can actually see this picture in my head,
0:05:37 > 0:05:42cos it's a Pre-Raphaelite one, and I love Pre-Raphaelite pictures, but...
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I'm struggling to find what the answer is. Um...
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I'm going to guess for Saul.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51It is a guess, and I'm frustrated cos I've seen that picture so many times.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56OK, seen the picture, can't remember the name. Gone for Saul.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- It's Cophetua.- Ah. - Oh, bad luck. Yeah.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Seen the picture and you told me Pre-Raphaelite,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05but unfortunately we end the round there.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08You went second. I don't put another question to Barry,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10he already got three out of three, and you managed two,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13which means you won't be in the final round. Bad luck, Steph.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Well, first blood to the Eggheads, then.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22The Wonder Techs missing one brain from the final round.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Let's move on to our next subject. This one is Politics.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Who'd like to play this from Wonder Techs?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30It can't be Steph, but any one of the other four.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Do you fancy that one?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Um, I don't.- You don't? Right.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- David, do you? - I think you're the man.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- I'm not massively keen, but yes. - I think the best one is David.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43But who do you think you want to go with?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46I would not really like a crack at any of them.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Judith?- Yes?- Yes.- Is that all right?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- OK.- Yes.- We think Judith.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I'll do it, Dermot, and I'll have a go at Judith, please.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57It's going to be David and Judith playing the Politics round
0:06:57 > 0:07:00and as you know, you both need to go to the question room, please.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04OK, let's see, David, if we can get you into the final round.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06It's politics. As you know, you get to choose,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09you're the challenger, do you want to go first or second?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I'll try second, please, Dermot.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17That means once again the Egghead starts, and that Egghead's Judith.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Which Conservative party leader
0:07:18 > 0:07:21was accused of improperly employing his wife
0:07:21 > 0:07:25as a secretary, in a scandal that became known as Betsygate?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Well, Iain Duncan Smith's wife is called Betsy,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34and William Hague's is called Ffion,
0:07:34 > 0:07:37and John Major's is called Norma, so it's Iain Duncan Smith.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39OK, doing that on the names there.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Iain Duncan Smith is correct, Well done, Judith.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43David, then, your first question,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45which British Prime Minister
0:07:45 > 0:07:49born in 1804 was the first Earl of Beaconsfield?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56I wish I'd gone first, Dermot.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58HE LAUGHS
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Um, I don't think it's Robert Peel.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04And of the other two,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I would plump for William Gladstone.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08OK, Gladstone.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10If you knew that first one, it's a pity that you didn't.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13It's not Gladstone, it's Disraeli.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15You were right to rule out Peel there,
0:08:15 > 0:08:18but it was Disraeli, the first Earl of Beaconsfield. And, Judith,
0:08:18 > 0:08:24who was both the 22nd and 24th President of the United States?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Oh, I'm not good at numbers and Presidents.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Um...
0:08:32 > 0:08:36I don't, I don't know, but I don't think it's Woodrow Wilson.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Because I think he had two in a row.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Um, what about...
0:08:44 > 0:08:49Oh, dear. I don't know anything about John Tyler. Um...
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I'm going to do John Tyler because I don't know anything about him.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57OK, John Tyler, because you don't know anything about him,
0:08:57 > 0:08:58I'm sure you will in a moment or two
0:08:58 > 0:09:01and I can tell you he was neither the 22nd
0:09:01 > 0:09:03nor the 24th President of the United States.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06You know that much now and it is Grover Cleveland.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Oh, I nearly went for him.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Yes, you must have been tossing it up after ruling out Wilson.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Do we know the dates of his incumbency, other Eggheads?
0:09:14 > 0:09:19He was there in the late 1880s and again in the early 1890s.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22He's the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- And who was the president in the middle?- Harrison. Benjamin Harrison.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Of course, yes.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Right, Judith, as we saw there, didn't get that, good news, David,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34a chance to catch up here with your second question.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Julia Gillard was a member of which political party
0:09:37 > 0:09:40when she became Australian Prime Minister in 2010?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46My mind is blank.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Liberal seems a definite no.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59And that may be reason for choosing it as much as anything else.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I'm going to go for National.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06The National Party for Julia Gillard.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09It's not, it is incorrect. It is Labour.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12A member of the Labour Party.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15So, Judith still has that narrow lead
0:10:15 > 0:10:18and wins if you give me a correct answer here, Judith.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22The Marxist guerrilla organisation known as FARC, F-A-R-C,
0:10:22 > 0:10:26was formed in 1964 in which country?
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Well, not Cuba.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32And not Chile, I think it's Colombia.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Colombia is the right answer, which means, Judith,
0:10:36 > 0:10:39you're in the final round. Bad luck there, David.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42No place for you. Would you both come back and join your teams.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Well, Techs, not showing your wonder yet,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47lost two brains from the final round.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50The Eggheads are all still there but still plenty of time,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52still could be all-square in that final round
0:10:52 > 0:10:54as we move to our third head-to-head today.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56This subject is Sport.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59And who'd like to play this? Three guys in the middle,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Graham, Rich or Alex?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- I'll take it and I'll take, who? - Chris.- I'll take Chris, please.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07OK, Rich. I see that you always planned to do this.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Straight in there.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- OK, so it's going to be Rich and Chris playing Sport.- OK.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Into the question room, both of you, please.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19So, Rich, which sports do you like? I'm assuming you do like them.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Yes, football, boxing, I'm in to everything, really,
0:11:23 > 0:11:26so, hopefully, I'll have a chance.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Yes, just as well because a very wide-ranging round as they all are.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32You get to choose. Do you want to go first or second?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Can I go first, please?
0:11:36 > 0:11:37OK, going first.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Switching to that tactic, trying to put pressure on the Egghead,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42and your question then, Rich, good luck.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Chris Smalling, David De Gea and Danny Welbeck represented
0:11:45 > 0:11:50which Premier League football team during the 2011-12 season?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- Um, Manchester United, definitely.- Exactly.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Without a shadow of a doubt, Manchester United.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00APPLAUSE
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Manchester United there is correct.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Well done, Rich.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07And, Chris, your first question.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Who became the world's top-ranked Test match
0:12:09 > 0:12:12cricket team in August 2011?
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Oh, yes, they won that strange mace-shaped trophy. It's India.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20BARRY GROANS
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Good Lord. It's not. It's not.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26A lot of heads hitting desks here
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I think, around the country, Chris.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- It's when England... - You mean we actually won something?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- ..hit the heights.- Good God above, what's the world coming to?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Don't you remember that summer?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Having won the Ashes in Australia, then took India,
0:12:39 > 0:12:41who WERE the top ranked team, took them apart at home
0:12:41 > 0:12:44and, er, top of the world. There we are.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46"Top of the world, Ma." Jimmy Cagney.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Wasn't that just before he blew himself up?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Yes, on top of an exploding oil tank, White Heat.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Well, that's what you're sitting on.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54HE LAUGHS
0:12:54 > 0:12:57OK, well, it's a really good start, Rich. That's fantastic.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Chris fumbling that one, dropping that catch and you go 2-0 up
0:13:01 > 0:13:05and a real chance in the final round if you get this.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Andy Turner won a gold medal at the 2010 Commonwealth Games
0:13:09 > 0:13:10in which athletics event?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I'm pretty sure it's 110 meter hurdles.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I think, yes, definitely.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22OK, do you like your athletics?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Yes, I do, yes. I like the running events, definitely.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Good, well, you got it, yes, Andy Turner, it's all paying off here.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30But don't count your chickens.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33If Chris is to mount a revival, it has to start here.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Which position is most associated
0:13:36 > 0:13:39with the England rugby union player Chris Ashton?
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Eee...
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Well, if he's a wiry little bloke, it's wing,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48if he's a big so-and-so, it's prop.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51If he's halfway between, it's scrum-half.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Always go for the middle, scrum-half.- Scrum-half.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Well, he is a big so-and-so, as you put it,
0:13:56 > 0:13:57but he's on the wing.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Oh, right.- He's on the wing.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02They are all big now in the backs.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06You don't get those old physical stereotypes any more in rugby union.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07They're all massive, it seems,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10and has an interesting way of scoring tries,
0:14:10 > 0:14:11he celebrates as he scores.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14He does an elaborate dive,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17which has given palpitations to his management,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19just in case he drops the ball.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- As he's diving over, it's the swallow dive.- He's from Wigan.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24He was a former rugby league player.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Chris Ashton on the wing, and that means Chris will be
0:14:27 > 0:14:31in the question room for the final round, not allowed to play.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32You're playing, Rich.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Well, Wonder Techs, that was a wonder round.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Rich simply blowing Chris away there with your knowledge of sports.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I'm sure you're hoping for plenty of sport questions in the final round,
0:14:46 > 0:14:50but we're not there yet, we've got one more head-to-head to play
0:14:50 > 0:14:52and this one is Film & Television.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54There's two of you left there available, Alex or Graham.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Film & TV.- Shall I take that one?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Yes.- But who do I play against?
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- It's up to you. - Kevin or Pat down the end.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- I'll go for Pat. - I'd have thought Kevin...
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Oh, right. OK.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- Kevin. I'll overrule you. - I've been overruled by my team.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14I'm going to play, and I'll will play Kevin.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15OK, you wanted to play Pat?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- Yes.- Well, really Hobson's choice.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22They're both world quiz champions in their time.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26And let's see, Alex and Kevin, then, playing film and television.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Into the question room, please.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32OK, Alex. Taking on Kevin there, Film & Television.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Your choice, do you want to go first or second?
0:15:34 > 0:15:38It helped my team-mate going first, so I think I'll go first, Dermot.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Yes, in Rich's case,
0:15:41 > 0:15:45I'm not sure if it was the switch of tactics or just sheer brilliance
0:15:45 > 0:15:48and breadth of knowledge, but let's see how it goes for you, Alex.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Kicking off, which member of the pop group Take That
0:15:52 > 0:15:56became a main judge on the TV show The X Factor in 2011?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I believe it's Gary Barlow.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03It's the right answer, well done.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08And Kevin, who was the regular presenter of the TV show
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Changing Rooms until 2003?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Something I never watched, unfortunately.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21The only name I associate with that is Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen,
0:16:21 > 0:16:23which doesn't help.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24DERMOT CHUCKLES
0:16:24 > 0:16:28I can't honestly claim to know much about Jenni Falconer.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I'm going to try Carol Smillie.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36And makes Barry very smiley.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38It's the right answer.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Carol Smillie at the helm of Changing Rooms until 2003.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43So just got it and, Alex,
0:16:43 > 0:16:48in which year was the TV drama series Spooks first broadcast?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55It's been going on for a while, but, um...
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I don't think it's 1997.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03That seems too long. I think I'll go for 2002.
0:17:03 > 0:17:042002 is correct.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Well worked out, Alex.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08And, Kevin,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Daniel Craig played the role of Jake Lonergan
0:17:11 > 0:17:13in which 2011 film?
0:17:18 > 0:17:23Yes, very sensible film(!) Based on a comic book or graphic novel,
0:17:23 > 0:17:24which I did see.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Um, underwhelmed.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Cowboys & Aliens.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Bit of a crit there, as well. Thank you for that, Kevin.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Well, one word - underwhelmed.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Well, whelmed, not overwhelmed, by the answer.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Cowboys & Aliens is correct.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44And it's all square as we face a third question apiece.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Alex, Don Rickles provides the voice of which character
0:17:47 > 0:17:50in the Toy Story series of films?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I have seen all three of them.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03And...don't have a definite answer for this one.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Don Rickles. I think he's an older actor.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12And it doesn't sound like Rex, who was the dinosaur.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16I think I'll go with Mr Potato Head.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Mr Potato Head. OK.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- It's the right answer, well done. - APPLAUSE
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Well worked out, Alex.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Mr Potato Head is correct.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Well, Kevin facing ejection from the game if he doesn't get this.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Which best-selling author won a Best Original Screenplay Oscar
0:18:35 > 0:18:40for his work on the 1947 film The Bachelor And The Bobby-Soxer?
0:18:44 > 0:18:45It won't be Mickey Spillane.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Bachelor And The Bobby-Soxer is a comedy.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50and I really can't see Mickey Spillane doing that.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51I'm not aware of him working
0:18:51 > 0:18:53particularly as a screenwriter, either.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Irving Wallace?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Maybe a bit early.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05The one who did have a considerable career as a Hollywood screenwriter
0:19:05 > 0:19:08really before he became a best-selling novelist
0:19:08 > 0:19:10was Sidney Sheldon.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14And the age would be about right, which it might
0:19:14 > 0:19:17not quite be for Irving Wallace, but it COULD be Irving Wallace.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I've got go with percentages and go for Sidney Sheldon.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25OK, going with the percentages.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27As he so often does in getting the right answer.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Sidney Sheldon is correct.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32We go to Sudden Death. First time in the game.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33And still got to give me answers
0:19:33 > 0:19:36but without looking at a list beforehand.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Nothing to pick from.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42So who directed the 1993 film Schindler's List?
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Who directed the 1993 film Schindler's List?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49It's, um, it's a powerful film.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53I think very close to the director's heart.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- I think it was Stephen Spielberg. - Stephen Spielberg is correct.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Yes. Well done,
0:19:58 > 0:20:00and that means pressure back on Kevin.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05Which Welsh rugby player starred in the 2011 TV series
0:20:05 > 0:20:06The Bachelor?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10It means nothing to me at all, I'm afraid.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I don't even know what that is. I don't know whether
0:20:15 > 0:20:19it's a reality show or... I don't know.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Er, pick one with a media profile.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24I suppose I'll try Gavin Henson.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27It's the right answer, Kevin.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Gavin Henson, yes.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31How he works them out. Well, Alex,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34nearly there. I thought for a moment or two you were taking out Kevin,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36but have another go here.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Which actor, born in 1969,
0:20:39 > 0:20:43appeared in the films Contact, Amistad and Sahara?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I've seen Contact
0:20:45 > 0:20:48and one of the older actors in there,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I'm trying to remember his name.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53It starred Jodie Foster
0:20:53 > 0:20:56and she was trying to meet her dad.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Um...
0:21:06 > 0:21:11Tossing it between Jeff Bridges and Nick Nolte.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I'm trying to think how old those actors are.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Um...
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I'm...I'm going to go for Nick Nolte.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26OK. Nick Nolte. Born in 1969.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28I think his agent will be on to you right away
0:21:28 > 0:21:30saying thank you very much indeed.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34I'm afraid they're considerably older. This actor is,
0:21:34 > 0:21:35do you know, Kevin?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38I'm not sure, is it Matthew McConaughey?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Matthew McConaughey, does that light anything up, Alex?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Yes, it does.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Matthew McConaughey in those films.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47And it's a chance for Kevin here.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Kevin, which comedy series starring Hugh Bonneville and Jessica Hynes
0:21:51 > 0:21:56follows a fictional team responsible for delivering the London Olympics?
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Which comedy series starring Hugh Bonneville and Jessica Hynes
0:22:00 > 0:22:04follows a fictional team responsible for delivering the London Olympics?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I'm aware of it, but I can't remember the title.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Um...
0:22:16 > 0:22:17What might it be called?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22I don't... Well...
0:22:22 > 0:22:25I've got nothing to go on so I'll try Twenty Twelve.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Unbelievable. It's the right answer, Kevin.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Twenty Twelve.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I was composing my speech, "You'll kick yourself when you hear this."
0:22:36 > 0:22:40But just thinking there. Go simple.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Put a guess up there.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Alex, a very good player there, you've proven,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46but you are also up against an even better one on this occasion.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Thank you very much for playing the round,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51but you're not appearing in the final round.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Would you please come back and join your teams.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01It's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03But I'm afraid those of you who lost your Head To Heads
0:23:03 > 0:23:06will not be able allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09So, Steph, Alex and David from The Wonder Techs
0:23:09 > 0:23:12and Chris from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:23:13 > 0:23:17So, Graham and Rich, you're playing to win £1,000.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin, you're playing for something
0:23:21 > 0:23:24which money cannot buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27As usual, I ask each team three questions in turn and, this time,
0:23:27 > 0:23:31the questions are General Knowledge and you can confirm.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33So, Graham and Rich, the question is,
0:23:33 > 0:23:36are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Wonder Techs, do you want to go first or second?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40We'd like to go first, I think.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Best of luck, guys. First question to you.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50Who was King of England from 1483 to 1485?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Not my strong point. - Not mine, either.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01I think it would have to be, seeing as you've been our lucky charm,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- I think I would go for Richard III. - Yeah?- You agree with that?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Richard III.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10On the basis that Rich... Is that your full name - Richard?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Richard. Yeah.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15It's the right answer. Well done.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Luck staying with you there. And, Eggheads, your first question.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Where is the famous Manly Beach situated?
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- It's Sydney?- It's just north of Sydney Harbour.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30That's Sydney.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Sydney is correct, Eggheads. Back to the Wonder Techs. Second question.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Teenage Dream, featuring the singles Firework,
0:24:37 > 0:24:41ET and Last Friday Night, is an album by which singer?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- I think this is more up our street than the last one.- Definitely.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53- Closer to us.- Katy Perry? - It is definitely Katy Perry.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Katy Perry is correct.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57You have two.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Eggheads, Acol, Moscito
0:24:58 > 0:25:03and Carrot Club are recognised systems or tactics in which game?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Acol, Moscito and Carrot Club
0:25:07 > 0:25:11are recognised systems or tactics in which game?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Acol is definitely bridge. Acol is bridge.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15And a road in North London.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- Acol is definitely bridge. - Acol is bridge.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Yes, anything else? - I know Acol is bridge.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22That's enough.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29I think Acol is named after a street in London and it relates to bridge.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32OK, systems or tactics in bridge. Right answer.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Eggheads have two and we go back
0:25:34 > 0:25:36to Wonder Techs for your third question.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41During which Apollo mission did Harrison Schmitt walk on the moon?
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Again, I think this is going to be a pure guess.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53We don't know anything about any of those Apollo missions.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- Are we going to go down the middle? - I say we should.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- We're going to go straight down the middle. Apollo 16.- Apollo 16.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05OK, for Harrison Schmitt on the moon. It's incorrect.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Do you know, Eggheads?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- 17.- Apollo 17.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12That was the last one? Was he the last man out?
0:26:12 > 0:26:16No, that's Eugene Cernan. The last man off the moon, he was.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Eugene Cernan, last man off the moon. OK.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Not identified by the Wonder Techs.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23A chance for the Eggheads.
0:26:23 > 0:26:29The dancer Nikiya - N-I-K-I-Y-A - and her lover Solar
0:26:29 > 0:26:31are central characters in which ballet?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Nikiya and her lover Solar.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Must be about Don Quixote.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46- Yes, but there are sub... - Characters.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- Yeah, sub-routines within... - Nikiya.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51..the ballet, which allow people to show off their technique.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56You can't rule it out 100%, but I don't recall those names.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Nikiya with a "Y" sounds Russian, doesn't it?
0:26:59 > 0:27:01It does.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- Um, I'm not sure.- La Bayadere.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- La Bayadere?- Yeah, because that's the one I know least about.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09And that was a Russian ballet.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10Yup.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15I don't know it, but, you know, it could...because of all the...
0:27:15 > 0:27:17divertissement that they have for other dancers
0:27:17 > 0:27:19within these classical ballets,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22it could turn out to be a piece within a piece.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- Try La Bayadere?- Mm.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Dermot, we're quite unsure about this,
0:27:28 > 0:27:32but the names suggest a certain Russian-ness,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35so we're going for La Bayadere.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40Uncertain about this. Have you managed to work it out?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Yes, you have, it is the correct answer. Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48Bad luck, Wonder Techs,
0:27:48 > 0:27:50you did well in the final round,
0:27:50 > 0:27:52just caught out with the moon landings.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55And some memorable head-to-heads against the Eggheads.
