0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is: can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 0:00:27Hello and welcome to Eggheads where five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:32against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain - the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36And challenging our resident quiz champions today are...
0:00:36 > 0:00:40They all know one another through Salford University
0:00:40 > 0:00:44and originally met when they shared the same accommodation.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Sean, I'm 22 and I'm a journalism and broadcasting student.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Jess, I'm 21 and I'm a performing arts student.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Ben, I'm 21 and I'm a bookmaker.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Lauren, I'm 21 and I'm a social policy student.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Will, I'm 20 and I study politics.
0:01:02 > 0:01:09Welcome, Savvy Salford Crew. You shared the same accommodation. People would say, "I'm not going.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- "They just play quizzes all the time."- Pretty much.
0:01:13 > 0:01:20- Did you do quizzes then? - There was a local pub quiz, but it was only a crate of beer to win,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- so this is a bit of a new challenge for us.- Yeah, but you're students.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Exactly. It was perfect for us.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- Did you ever win it? - Three or four times.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- All the time!- That's what we should say.- Scare the Eggheads.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39The money on offer today will buy quite a few crates of beer.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46but if they fail to win the prize money rolls over.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50So the Eggheads have won just the last game.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54That means £2,000 says you can't beat them.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57OK, the first Head to Head battle is on Music.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I suspect parts of it
0:01:59 > 0:02:02might suit you. Who'd like to play?
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- I'll take it. - I think we'll have Ben, please.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11And you get to play any Egghead you like from the Fantastic Five.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Who do you reckon?
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Will I take CJ? - Go on, yeah.- CJ, please.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21OK, CJ. Just come back and straight into the fray!
0:02:21 > 0:02:27Let's have Ben and CJ into the Question Room, please, just to make sure you can't confer.
0:02:27 > 0:02:34OK, Ben. I know you're hoping for a good start, so do you want to go first or second?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I'd like to go first, please.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Here you go. First question.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46Which title is shared by a UK Top Ten hit for Dizzee Rascal in 2009
0:02:46 > 0:02:49and another for Madonna in 1984?
0:02:52 > 0:02:57Well, I'm pretty sure Dizzee Rascal wouldn't sing about Vogue.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59That doesn't seem right to me.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03So it's between Angel and Holiday, I think.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08I'm not entirely sure of the answer, but I'm going to go for...Angel.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Gasps! It's Holiday.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17Gasps from the other members of the crew. OK, CJ...
0:03:17 > 0:03:22Smirking like the Cheshire Cat! You haven't even had a question yet.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27Who called Ringo Starr "not even the best drummer in The Beatles"?
0:03:28 > 0:03:34- Who called Ringo Starr "not even the best drummer in The Beatles"? - I'm trying to remember this.
0:03:34 > 0:03:40He was asked in an interview, "Is Ringo Starr the best drummer in the world?"
0:03:40 > 0:03:44and gave that answer. Er...I've had this question
0:03:44 > 0:03:49to complete the quotation, but I've never had who said it.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Er...
0:03:53 > 0:03:55My instinct was Lennon.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I don't think it's McCartney.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I'll have to go with my instinct and say John Lennon.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Very Lennonesque, isn't it? It's the right answer. John Lennon.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Great line, that.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12OK, Ben, let's see if we can get you off the mark.
0:04:12 > 0:04:18At which musical event were the Marcel Bezencon Awards first given out in 2002?
0:04:23 > 0:04:29At which musical event were the Marcel Bezencon Awards first given out in 2002?
0:04:29 > 0:04:35Again, I've not heard of this award, but I'm guessing that Glastonbury would not...
0:04:35 > 0:04:38That's too poppy for that sounding name.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42I'm guessing he's French, Marcel.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47So it's between Henry Wood and Eurovision.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51I'm going to go straight down the middle for Henry Wood Proms.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Right. As you worked out,
0:04:54 > 0:04:58guessing he's French, but gone for the very British Henry Wood Proms.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01But it's the Eurovision Song Contest.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03That means you win the round
0:05:03 > 0:05:09if you get this, CJ. Which songwriting partnership wrote Stand By Me with Ben E King
0:05:09 > 0:05:12and Love Potion Number 9?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18I don't know.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Em...
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Stand By Me doesn't sound like a very Kander and Ebb song.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Unfortunately, I know nothing at all about Chinn and Chapman.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37And only slightly more than nothing about Lieber and Stoller.
0:05:37 > 0:05:43I'm just going to rule out Kander and Ebb because it doesn't sound like their sort of thing.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Between the other two...
0:05:49 > 0:05:52As I've never heard of Chinn and Chapman, I'll try them.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54No, not Chinn and Chapman.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57It's the wrong era, isn't it?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Yeah, they're later. - It's Lieber and Stoller.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05So right to rule out Kander and Ebb, but didn't pick Lieber and Stoller.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07So you're still in it, Ben.
0:06:07 > 0:06:13- Just!- Well, yeah, just, but if you get this you never know what might happen.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17What unofficial name is given to Stravinsky's Symphony in Three Movements?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Now I think I have heard of this before.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I think it's Light Symphony.
0:06:27 > 0:06:33I don't think War Symphony. That doesn't come to mind at all. It doesn't ring a bell.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- So Light Symphony. - OK, Light Symphony.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39It's not.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- It's not!- It's the War Symphony. - Oh, dearie me.- War Symphony.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45CJ doesn't face another question.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49You can't beat that one he's got up there now.
0:06:49 > 0:06:55So we end the round and say goodbye to you, Ben, in terms of further quizzing.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00And CJ is playing in the final round. Both come back, please.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Well, CJ turned out to be the savvier one in that round,
0:07:04 > 0:07:08so the Crew have lost one brain from the final round so far.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12We move rapidly on to our second Head to Head. This is Science.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Who'd like to play? Can't be Ben.
0:07:14 > 0:07:20- I think you're competent. You do know enough.- OK.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Do you want to go for it?- Yeah. - We'll pick Lauren, please.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29- Pick an Egghead. It can't be CJ. Any of the other four. - What do you think?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32They're all good on Science. Barry? Who do YOU want?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Yeah, that's fine.- Barry, please.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- OK.- Oh, no. - Are you excited, Barry?- Yes!
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Nobody ever picks me for Science.
0:07:41 > 0:07:48OK, well, Lauren has. I hope it doesn't backfire for you, Barry. Well, we do, actually.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53OK, let's have Lauren and Barry into the Question Room, please.
0:07:54 > 0:08:00- Lauren, what are you studying? - Social Policy.- OK, so not a pure science subject.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05- No, a social science.- OK. Do you want to go first or second?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Em, I'll go first, please.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13OK, here's your first question.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18What general term is used for the area of study which includes
0:08:18 > 0:08:21geology, oceanography and glaciology?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I'm pretty sure I know this one.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32I don't think it's Life Science or Behavioural Science.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35So I'm going to go with Earth Science.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39You've gone the right way. Well done. Good start.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46Barry, mercerisation is a chemical process used on which material?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Mercerisation is a chemical process used on which material?
0:08:52 > 0:08:58I believe it's used to treat cotton to give them a shiny lustre and make them a bit longer-wearing.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03- Do you know what it is, what chemicals are involved?- No, I don't.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Well, used on cotton is enough.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08All square, that's correct.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12So back to you, Lauren. Willard Frank Libby was awarded
0:09:12 > 0:09:18the 1960 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his work in which scientific field?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26The name's not ringing a bell whatsoever.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31So I think it's going to be a guess
0:09:31 > 0:09:34and I'm going to go for...
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Radiocarbon Dating, I think.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Radiocarbon Dating. Barry's laughing. It's the right answer!
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Yes, good guess.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53OK, Radiocarbon Dating, Lauren. It's two to you, one to Barry.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58He has to face a second question. What name is given to the coastal ocean regions
0:09:58 > 0:10:03where oxygen levels are so reduced that almost no life can be supported?
0:10:06 > 0:10:10I think I may have spent some time in one of these in a previous life.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- They're Dead Zones!- Dead Zones.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18Yeah, it's the right answer. That is correct.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Going really well, Lauren.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25Which acid used in food production as an acidity regulator
0:10:25 > 0:10:29has the E number E260?
0:10:29 > 0:10:30E260.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Em...again I'm not 100% sure on this one.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43I don't think it's citric as a regulator.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46So...
0:10:46 > 0:10:48I'm going to go for...
0:10:49 > 0:10:51acetic.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Acetic is the right answer!
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Three out of three.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Good stuff. Barry...
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Which Greek astronomer made the earliest known star catalogue
0:11:04 > 0:11:07as well as being a pioneer of trigonometry?
0:11:12 > 0:11:17I believe there is a current satellite in orbit named after this chap,
0:11:17 > 0:11:22which is tasked with denoting all the various positions of the stars,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25and his name was Hipparchus.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Hipparchus is the right answer, Barry! Well...
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Both quizzing fantastically.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35- Lauren, you're doing too well, so we're going to make it harder. - OK!
0:11:35 > 0:11:42I'm sure you're delighted. We are going to, as is normal if it's all square, Sudden Death,
0:11:42 > 0:11:47which means you just answer questions with no choices put in front of you.
0:11:47 > 0:11:53The California Institute of Technology is known by which one-word name?
0:11:55 > 0:11:57I have got absolutely no idea.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01I can't even think
0:12:01 > 0:12:04of anything in California.
0:12:06 > 0:12:13- I'm going to have to pass. I can't think of anything, sorry. - California Institute of Technology.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- Known by which one-word name? - No, I've got no idea.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- OK, OK.- Sorry.
0:12:19 > 0:12:25When you hear the answer, you'll work out how they do it. Do you know, Barry?
0:12:25 > 0:12:31- I believe it's Caltech.- Caltech. California Institute of Technology. Cal and Tech.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33OK, well, a chance for Barry.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37A tridecagon is a polygon with how many sides?
0:12:37 > 0:12:41A tridecagon is a polygon with how many sides?
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Well, tri is three and deca is ten, so three and ten are thirteen.
0:12:45 > 0:12:51- That's my answer.- Turning out to be very lucky for you. You knew it.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Unlucky for Lauren. It's right.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Thirteen, a tridecagon.
0:12:55 > 0:13:02I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you, Lauren. Well quizzed. Got to Sudden Death, but didn't make it.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Both please come back and join your teams.
0:13:05 > 0:13:11Nearly there for Lauren, but the Savvy Salford Crew have lost two brains from the final round.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16No Eggheads gone, of course. Our next subject is Film and Television.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Again, it might suit
0:13:18 > 0:13:22some of you students there. Sean, Jess or Will?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Eh, we'd like to pick Jess, please.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30All right, Jess. Pick an Egghead. It can't be Barry or CJ.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35- The three in the middle - Kevin, Judith or Pat.- I think Judith.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40- Or do you want to go for Kevin? I'm probably going out anyway. - Judith.- Yeah, OK.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45- We'd like to pick Judith, please. - OK, it's the two Js. Jess and Judith.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50Into the Question Room, please, to play Film and Television.
0:13:50 > 0:13:56Well, Jess, which side of Film and Television - or is it both - do you prefer?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59I love performing. I'm a performing artist.
0:13:59 > 0:14:06- I'd love to be an actress or a presenter.- OK. So film, television...- Yeah.- Doesn't matter.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10OK, well, choose whether you want to go first or second.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I'll go first, I think.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Best of luck. Film & TV, first question.
0:14:17 > 0:14:23Which member of the Arquette family played Dewey Riley in the Scream films?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28I cannot watch horror films.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I'm petrified of watching horror films.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35It's quite amusing that I've got this question. Um...
0:14:35 > 0:14:40Scream... I'm trying to think of any that sound vaguely familiar.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I'll go for Rosanna. Total guess.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Rosanna Arquette playing Dewey Riley...
0:14:48 > 0:14:50It's not.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53And wrong sex, I'm afraid, as well.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55It's David.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59David Arquette in that role in the Scream films.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Judith, I know you love them, don't you?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- What?- The Scream films.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09- I don't watch them either.- A bit of blood and gore?- I'm much too frightened. I hate horror films too.
0:15:09 > 0:15:16Here's your first question. In 2011, Hilary Devey joined the panel of which television programme?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22I have a feeling she's that extraordinary-looking person
0:15:22 > 0:15:26in Dragons' Den with the black hair and the incredibly wide shoulders.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31I think she's the new Dragon in Dragons' Den.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Dragons' Den is correct. Do you ever fancy Dragons' Den?
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- What, to go into it? No, I've got no business sense at all.- No.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44Be one of the Dragons. Pots of money and you don't suffer fools gladly.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- Thank you, Dermot. Well, put me up for it. I'd love to go in.- Yeah.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52OK, she got that, Dragons' Den. This is then for you, Jess.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55It's your second question.
0:15:55 > 0:16:01In which British sitcom did Donald Sinden play Elaine Stritch's butler?
0:16:04 > 0:16:08In which British sitcom did Donald Sinden play Elaine Stritch's butler?
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Again not very confident with this one at all.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17I'm going to have a wild guess and go for Two's Company.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Two's Company is correct.- Yes! - Well done.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Judith, your second question then
0:16:22 > 0:16:24is this.
0:16:24 > 0:16:31Which British actor starred opposite Renee Zellweger in the 2003 romantic comedy film, Down With Love?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Oh, gosh, I didn't see it.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Renee Zellweger...
0:16:41 > 0:16:47Well, could it have been Hugh Grant the second time round, as it were?
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Um...
0:16:49 > 0:16:53I don't know why, but something is saying Rupert Everett
0:16:53 > 0:16:56and it just seems so unlikely. I don't know. Rupert Everett.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58OK, Rupert Everett...
0:16:58 > 0:17:02No. Nor indeed Hugh Grant. It's Ewan McGregor.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Ewan McGregor, so great news for you, Jess. All square.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Third question coming for both of you and this is to you, Jess.
0:17:10 > 0:17:16Which actress starred in the 1964 French musical film, Les Parapluies De Cherbourg?
0:17:20 > 0:17:25Again not too confident with this.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Brigitte Bardot. I'm trying to...
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Brigitte, that's ringing a bell for some reason,
0:17:32 > 0:17:36but I don't know whether it's relevant to this question.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I'm going to go for Brigitte.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- OK, Brigitte Bardot...- Yeah.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46It's not. It's not. Do you know, Judith?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Catherine Deneuve.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53Yes, Catherine Deneuve in Les Parapluies De Cherbourg.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55A chance for you to win the round, Judith.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00Dorothy Parker's first Oscar nomination was for her work on the script for which film?
0:18:05 > 0:18:09I really don't know, but I think A Star Is Born is more her thing
0:18:09 > 0:18:13than either The Good Earth or Lost Horizon,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- so A Star Is Born.- A Star Is Born...
0:18:16 > 0:18:21is the right answer. Yes, Judith, you've made it into the final round.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Bad luck, Jess. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:18:25 > 0:18:31It still hasn't happened yet for the Savvy Salford Crew. They've now lost three brains from the final round.
0:18:31 > 0:18:38The Eggheads are all still there, so we move on to our last head-to-head and Geography is what's come up.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41And two of you left to play, Will or Sean?
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Are you sure? - I'll have a go at it, yeah.
0:18:44 > 0:18:51Sean, which Egghead would you like to play? Barry, CJ and Judith have played, so Kevin or Pat for you.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- Who do you think?- Kevin?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Why do you think that? - I'll take on Kevin. Why not?
0:18:57 > 0:19:02- I'll take him on.- You never know. OK, Sean and Kevin playing Geography.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Into the question room, both of you, please.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Sean taking on Kevin. Fancy your chances, Sean?
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- You have to try once in a while. You only get one chance.- Exactly.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17You're absolutely right. Four times World Quiz Champion, Mastermind, Brain Of Britain.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- It wouldn't be a bad scalp.- Exactly.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go second, please.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30OK, Kevin, Weston-super-Mare lies on which body of water?
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Weston-super-Mare lies on which body of water?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40I couldn't face Daphne again if I didn't get this.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43It's on the Bristol Channel.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Yes, Daphne's stomping ground, not playing in this round,
0:19:46 > 0:19:50but Kevin identifying the Bristol Channel for Weston-super-Mare.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53And Sean, you're kicking off with this then.
0:19:53 > 0:19:59Which US state is sometimes known as the Goober State in reference to its peanut crop?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Which US state is sometimes known as the Goober State
0:20:05 > 0:20:09in reference to its peanut crop? G-O-O-B-E-R.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Goober.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14For some reason, I don't know why, I'm not really sure,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17but I think I've heard of nuts from Alaska.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I'll just... I'll go for Alaska.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24OK, Alaska, alas, is not the right answer.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Kevin, it is before Sean's time,
0:20:26 > 0:20:31but wasn't former President Carter from Georgia and he grew peanuts?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Yeah, he was a peanut farmer.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37That was one of his occupations before becoming President.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- So just to be clear...- It's Georgia. - Georgia is the answer.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43So, Kevin...
0:20:43 > 0:20:51Which city in the former Yugoslavia, now a national capital, was known as Titograd until 1992?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00It's now the capital of Montenegro. It's Podgorica.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05Is the right answer, Kevin knowing his former Yugoslav republics there.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10It means you need to get this, Sean.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14The Jet D'Eau, a fountain which rises to 140 metres high,
0:21:14 > 0:21:17is a famous landmark in which city?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Again I'm not sure. Um...
0:21:24 > 0:21:27I'll go straight down the middle and go for Geneva.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Geneva...
0:21:29 > 0:21:31is the right answer.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Kevin, you do win the round if you get this.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Sean, maybe just a stay of execution. Let's hope not.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43Kevin, what name is given to the largely uninhabited, vast area of tundra in Canada,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45extending west from Hudson Bay?
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Hmm. I haven't come across that before, I don't think.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I'd better have the question again.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00What name is given to the largely uninhabited, vast area of tundra
0:22:00 > 0:22:02in Canada, extending west from Hudson Bay?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05I don't think I've come across it.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Empty Earth just doesn't sound right
0:22:11 > 0:22:13I mean, it's between the other two.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16They're both...plausible,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19but given that the Plains lie...
0:22:19 > 0:22:23There is a geographical area known as the Plains to the south of that.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I'd have to go for Barren Grounds.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Oh, you know too much... to work it out.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32It is the right answer - Barren Grounds.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Barren Grounds, the link's obvious.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Barren grounds for you, Sean. You put him in first. He's got all three.
0:22:38 > 0:22:44You slipped up on one. That's cost you a place in the final. Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:22:44 > 0:22:50This is what we've been playing towards - the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:53 > 0:22:56won't be allowed to take part in this round, so I'm sorry to say,
0:22:56 > 0:23:02Sean, Jess, Ben and Lauren from the Savvy Salford Crew, would you all leave the studio, please?
0:23:02 > 0:23:07Well, then, Will, you're playing to win the Savvy Salford Crew £2,000.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12Barry, Pat, Judith, Kevin and CJ, you're playing for something which money cannot buy -
0:23:12 > 0:23:14the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19I ask each team three questions in turn. This time, they are all General Knowledge.
0:23:19 > 0:23:25And you are allowed to confer. In that case, that means talking to yourself, Will.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29But the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:23:29 > 0:23:33- Do you want to go first or second? - I think I'll go first, please.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Best of luck, Will. First question.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43What name is given to the small, moveable arms used to manoeuvre the ball in a pinball machine?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48What name is given to the small, moveable arms
0:23:48 > 0:23:51used to manoeuvre the ball in a pinball machine?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Living there just by the coast,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57there's lots of arcades down by where we're from
0:23:57 > 0:24:00and there's a few pinball machines down there.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- I'm pretty sure they're called flippers.- Flippers, OK.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08Flippers is the right answer. Well done, Will. You're off the mark.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11American school buses are generally what colour?
0:24:13 > 0:24:16American school buses are generally what colour?
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- Yellow.- Yellow. - Solid yellow?- Yeah.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- We think that's yellow. - Yellow is correct, Eggheads.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26And back to you, Will.
0:24:26 > 0:24:33Which TV presenter did Lady Edwina Grosvenor, daughter of the Duke of Westminster, marry in 2010?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Which TV presenter did Lady Edwina Grosvenor,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42daughter of the Duke of Westminster, marry in 2010?
0:24:43 > 0:24:48Um...I'm not sure at all again this time.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51I'm trying to think.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55I can't really imagine any of the people's partners in my head
0:24:55 > 0:24:57when I think about them either.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Um...
0:25:01 > 0:25:04I'm going to go for...
0:25:05 > 0:25:07..Ben Fogle, but I don't know why.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12OK, Ben Fogle marrying the Duke of Westminster's daughter...
0:25:13 > 0:25:15It's not correct. Do you know, Eggheads?
0:25:15 > 0:25:20- Dan Snow.- Dan Snow marrying into the Duke of Westminster's family.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24And your question, Eggheads.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Who wrote the novel Elmer Gantry?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Who wrote the novel Elmer Gantry?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Sinclair Lewis.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36That's Sinclair Lewis.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Sinclair Lewis is correct.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41The Eggheads not seemingly troubled by the first two.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Will, you've got to get this.
0:25:43 > 0:25:49Which naturalist created the scientific name Nessiteras rhombopteryx
0:25:49 > 0:25:51for the Loch Ness Monster?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Which naturalist created the scientific name
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Nessiteras rhombopteryx for the Loch Ness Monster?
0:26:01 > 0:26:04No idea...at all.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08I've heard of Jacques Cousteau and David Attenborough.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16The name means nothing to me, the Latin one.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21I'm going to go for...
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Peter Scott.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Is the right answer, yes.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32Jubilation breaks out behind you, your teammates in the question room.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Peter Scott keeps you alive, so you've got to hope the Eggheads don't get this.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Moko is a disease that affects which fruit?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Moko. M-O-K-O.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Moko is a disease that affects which fruit?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- M-O-K-O.- I've no idea.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52My only observation is that in recent years,
0:26:52 > 0:26:56bananas have come under threat from several diseases.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00- Yeah, if I had any instinct, it was banana.- Any other reasons?
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- I've got nothing.- From the name, I don't think it will be coconut.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07I thought it might be because of the name.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- What, coconut? - I've got absolutely no idea.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Apple has lots of diseases.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16I've not particularly heard of anything that affects a banana.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- There are serious international problems with bananas.- Yeah.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- That's good enough for me. I've got nothing.- I've got nothing.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- I think you've got the inkling.- Hmm.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- OK?- We've got a reason for it. Let's go for it.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35We don't know, but certainly bananas internationally,
0:27:35 > 0:27:39there have been big problems with various diseases damaging crops,
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- so we're going with banana.- Banana?
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Moko is a disease that affects bananas.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49It's the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:53 > 0:28:00Gallantly played, Will. You just didn't know your society weddings and no harm in that at all.
0:28:00 > 0:28:06Two out of three against the Eggheads on your own by any estimation isn't a bad performance,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09so thank you very much for taking on the Eggheads
0:28:09 > 0:28:12and those that went before you and fell before the mighty Eggheads.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Great to see you, Savvy Salford Crew. Best of luck with the studies.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and they reign supreme over quizland.
0:28:21 > 0:28:27I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £2,000 and that means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:30 > 0:28:35Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38£3,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
