0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads -

0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:17 > 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 > 0:00:30against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:30 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.

0:00:31 > 0:00:34Taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today

0:00:34 > 0:00:35are the Bristol Brains.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38This team of friends all attend the University of Bristol,

0:00:38 > 0:00:40and during their first year

0:00:40 > 0:00:43would regularly quiz together at their local, the White Hart.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Laura. I'm 21 and I'm a deaf studies student.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Caroline. I'm 20 and I'm studying civil engineering.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Fi. I'm 20 and I'm a biochemistry student.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Ella. I'm 20 and I'm a sociology student.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Megan. I'm 21 and I'm a sociology student.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Welcome to you, Bristol Brains.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06So you started quizzing when you first got together at university.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Did you keep it up, or did you stop after one year?

0:01:09 > 0:01:11We started in our first year.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13We carried it on throughout the first year,

0:01:13 > 0:01:15then we moved away from that pub...

0:01:15 > 0:01:18DERMOT CHUCKLES ..but we've been back a few times,

0:01:18 > 0:01:21so hopefully our standards are still as high tonight.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24What did you win? I mean, did you win that pub quiz at the White Hart?

0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Yes, we won. - Oh, you did. What did you get?

0:01:27 > 0:01:29The prizes varied from pints

0:01:29 > 0:01:32to desserts such as cheesecake,

0:01:32 > 0:01:34or, occasionally, small cash prizes.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36But we preferred the cheesecake. THEY ALL LAUGH

0:01:36 > 0:01:39The Eggheads are getting their disguises ready now

0:01:39 > 0:01:41as they're not really allowed in too many pubs.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44But the hats are ready, and the moustaches,

0:01:44 > 0:01:47and they're heading for the White Hart, I suspect, after this.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48Good luck today against the Eggheads.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52Every day, there's £1,000-worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:01:55 > 0:01:57the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00So, Bristol Brains, the challengers won the last game,

0:02:00 > 0:02:03which means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07And our first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Who'd like to play this?- Laura?

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Yeah, I'll go for it - I'll do Music.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15OK, Captain Laura - straight in with Music.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Choose an Egghead.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Um... What do you think? Judith?

0:02:20 > 0:02:22ALL: Judith?

0:02:22 > 0:02:25OK. Laura and Judith - into the Question Room, please -

0:02:25 > 0:02:28just to make sure you can't confer.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Well, Laura - you get to choose.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35Do you want to go first or second against our Egghead, Judith, today?

0:02:35 > 0:02:36I think I'll go second, please.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43Well, let's see how Judith does then with the first set of questions.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Judith, what is the name of the man-eating plant

0:02:46 > 0:02:49in the musical Little Shop of Horrors?

0:02:52 > 0:02:54What is the name of the man-eating plant

0:02:54 > 0:02:57in the musical Little Shop of Horrors?

0:02:57 > 0:03:00That is Audrey II.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02It is the right answer, yes. OK.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Laura, you decided to go second, so your first question.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08"Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins"

0:03:08 > 0:03:11are the opening lyrics to which Beatles song?

0:03:14 > 0:03:17"Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins"

0:03:17 > 0:03:21are the opening lyrics to which Beatles song?

0:03:21 > 0:03:24I'm not a huge Beatles fan myself.

0:03:24 > 0:03:25Um...

0:03:26 > 0:03:31..I'm going to have to guess this one, I'm afraid.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38I'm trying to think of the lyrics to any of the songs there.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41But I'm going to have to take a guess at And I Love Her.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43OK, guessing at And I Love Her by the Beatles.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47"Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins" -

0:03:47 > 0:03:48She's Leaving Home.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Oh.- She's Leaving Home. OK.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54See how Judith does with her second one. Here it comes.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57In 1975, Showaddywaddy released a cover version

0:03:57 > 0:03:59of which Eddie Cochran song?

0:04:03 > 0:04:07In 1975, Showaddywaddy released a cover version

0:04:07 > 0:04:08of which Eddie Cochran song?

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Um...

0:04:12 > 0:04:15Well, I'm trying to think.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20I don't really know, so I'm going to have to guess.

0:04:20 > 0:04:21Um...

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Three Steps to Heaven.

0:04:24 > 0:04:25Is the right answer.

0:04:25 > 0:04:29Which is bad news for you, Laura - means you've got to get this.

0:04:29 > 0:04:34The songs Some of Us Belong To The Stars and Ambrosia

0:04:34 > 0:04:36are from the musical Billy

0:04:36 > 0:04:38with music by which composer?

0:04:41 > 0:04:45The songs Some of Us Belong To The Stars and Ambrosia

0:04:45 > 0:04:49are from the musical Billy with music by which composer?

0:04:49 > 0:04:50I've never seen that musical.

0:04:50 > 0:04:54Although I am usually a fan of musicals, I haven't seen that one.

0:04:55 > 0:04:56Um...

0:04:56 > 0:04:58(Composers?)

0:04:58 > 0:04:59Um...

0:04:59 > 0:05:01I'm going to go for Robert Sherman.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03OK. Robert Sherman.

0:05:03 > 0:05:04Daphne, what do you think?

0:05:04 > 0:05:06I've never heard of it.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08- Never heard of Billy?- No.

0:05:08 > 0:05:09Well, if you haven't,

0:05:09 > 0:05:12I can hold my hand up and say I haven't either, then.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15If Daphne hasn't heard of it, it must be rather obscure.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18The music is by John Barry, which means...

0:05:18 > 0:05:19There we see the scores -

0:05:19 > 0:05:21we don't need to put another question to Judith -

0:05:21 > 0:05:22she's won it two-nil,

0:05:22 > 0:05:25which means you're not in the final round. Bad luck, Laura.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:05:28 > 0:05:29Bad luck there, Laura -

0:05:29 > 0:05:33a Beatles song, a musical and a Showaddywaddy guess by Judith

0:05:33 > 0:05:34ended your challenge there.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36The Bristol Brains are one brain down

0:05:36 > 0:05:38from the final round. Eggheads all there, of course.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Second round, then, coming up.

0:05:41 > 0:05:42And this head-to-head is Science.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Who'd like to play this?- Fi. - Everyone looking at Fi?

0:05:45 > 0:05:48- ALL: Yes. - Get in there, Fi.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Biochemistry student, of course.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Who would you like to play? It can't be Judith -

0:05:52 > 0:05:55any of the other four.

0:05:55 > 0:05:56- (CJ?)- Who?- CJ, really?- Yeah.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58OK, I'm going to take on CJ, please.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00OK, you can.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04Fi and CJ - into the Question Room, both of you, please.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Fi, as I said there, a biochemistry student -

0:06:07 > 0:06:09so quite a lot of this category covered,

0:06:09 > 0:06:12but what about physics and maths -

0:06:12 > 0:06:16other areas that come up in this broad category?

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Yeah, physics is not one of my strongest.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Maths, I can do bits of,

0:06:21 > 0:06:23because obviously it comes up in my biochemistry degree,

0:06:23 > 0:06:27but I would say physics would be the weaker in my Science, yeah.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Let's see - do you want the first set or the second?

0:06:29 > 0:06:31I'd like the first set, please.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35First question coming your way.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39What name is given to the stream of mainly protons and electrons

0:06:39 > 0:06:41flowing from the corona of the sun?

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Well, I've never come across this term before.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50I'm going to go with...

0:06:50 > 0:06:52solar wind.

0:06:52 > 0:06:53And right to do so.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56It's off the mark for you. Correct answer.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59And, CJ, in the animal world,

0:06:59 > 0:07:02what is the meaning of the term "nidification"?

0:07:08 > 0:07:11I haven't heard it, but it makes sense it should be nest building.

0:07:11 > 0:07:12Um...

0:07:12 > 0:07:16"Nidi" doesn't suggest trees to me

0:07:16 > 0:07:18and it doesn't suggest colour, so I'll try nest building.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20OK - nest building...

0:07:20 > 0:07:21is the right answer.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25Well done. Both off to a good start. And, Fi -

0:07:25 > 0:07:29myosis is a condition that affects which part of the human body?

0:07:31 > 0:07:34I have come across this term before, and I believe it's eyes.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38It is. It's the right answer - two for you.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43CJ - what is the meaning of the term "saurischian",

0:07:43 > 0:07:46used to denote an order of dinosaurs?

0:07:50 > 0:07:51Spell it, please.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54S-A-URISCHIAN.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56That didn't help, thanks.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59I know there's an order called "lizard-hipped".

0:08:02 > 0:08:04I think the Iguanodon's one of those.

0:08:06 > 0:08:07Er...

0:08:08 > 0:08:10I haven't heard of the other two.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Based on the fact I've just heard the term,

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- I'll try lizard-hipped. - Lizard-hipped?

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Heard of "Snake-hipped". A bit like you, CJ.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20But lizard-hipped is the right answer.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Well identified by CJ. It's two-all, what a round.

0:08:23 > 0:08:24Fi. Third question.

0:08:24 > 0:08:25Might win it for you.

0:08:25 > 0:08:30NASA's first space flight centre, established in 1959,

0:08:30 > 0:08:33was named after which scientist?

0:08:37 > 0:08:41OK, with this one, I really have no idea.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45I haven't heard about the naming of it before,

0:08:45 > 0:08:48but I'm going to go with Robert H Goddard.

0:08:48 > 0:08:49The right answer - well done!

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Three out of three.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55Well, if that was a guess, a very good one.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Potential place in the final round. Next question, CJ

0:08:58 > 0:09:02Robert Broom, born in Scotland in 1866,

0:09:02 > 0:09:04is most associated with which branch of science?

0:09:08 > 0:09:09I've heard of him -

0:09:09 > 0:09:11which makes me think it's not microbiology,

0:09:11 > 0:09:14because I know nothing about that.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17I know something about palaeontology, I know something about astronomy,

0:09:17 > 0:09:20so I'm just trying to place him.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23My first thought is that it's palaeontology - that he was a...

0:09:24 > 0:09:25..a dinosaur hunter.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32I can't drag anything else up,

0:09:32 > 0:09:36so I'll have to go with my first instinct and say palaeontology.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39Two dinosaur questions, then. It's the right answer!

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Yes, palaeontology for Robert Broom.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Two very good quizzers here on Science.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45It'll take something harder to sort out a winner.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48Let's go to Sudden Death.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50- It's not my choice, it's the rules. - HE LAUGHS

0:09:50 > 0:09:52It means, Fi, that we remove the options.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54You have to come up with an answer yourself -

0:09:54 > 0:09:56can't show you any choices. Here you go.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00As a result of his detailed observations of patients,

0:10:00 > 0:10:02and accurate record-keeping,

0:10:02 > 0:10:05the 17th century physician Thomas Sydenham

0:10:05 > 0:10:08was given the nickname of "the English..." what?

0:10:08 > 0:10:11As a result of his detailed observations of patients,

0:10:11 > 0:10:13and accurate record-keeping,

0:10:13 > 0:10:15the 17th-century physician Thomas Sydenham

0:10:15 > 0:10:20was given the nickname of "the English..." what?

0:10:20 > 0:10:22I have never come across him before.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24I'll have to pass on that one, I'm afraid.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Medical, yeah - not really your field.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29But "the English..." what? Thinking medical...? CJ, you'll know.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Mm-mm.

0:10:31 > 0:10:32Other Eggheads will.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35So it's what as opposed to who, is it?

0:10:35 > 0:10:38So something like "English Hippocrates"?

0:10:38 > 0:10:39You're right.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42CJ, if you get this right, you're in the final round.

0:10:42 > 0:10:47Which mineral has a name derived from the German for "sea foam"?

0:10:48 > 0:10:49Oh!

0:10:49 > 0:10:51How about meerschaum?

0:10:52 > 0:10:53Meerschaum?

0:10:53 > 0:10:56It's the right answer.

0:10:56 > 0:10:57Meerschaum is correct.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00Gets you through to the final round. Bad luck, Fi.

0:11:00 > 0:11:01Got very close,

0:11:01 > 0:11:03but not there, I'm afraid.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06Both please come back and join your teams.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Well, a really good performance from Fi there,

0:11:08 > 0:11:10but didn't make it into the final round.

0:11:10 > 0:11:15It means Bristol Brains are two brains down from the final round. The Eggheads all still there,

0:11:15 > 0:11:18and our next subject today is Arts & Books.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Who'd like to play this one - Caroline, Ella or Megan?

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Am I doing it or are you doing it?

0:11:24 > 0:11:27I think maybe Megan. Megan's quite good at...

0:11:28 > 0:11:29Reads quite a lot.

0:11:29 > 0:11:30That's very...

0:11:30 > 0:11:32What if Food And Drink comes up?

0:11:32 > 0:11:33Yeah, but she can do that.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35- OK. That's fine. So, Megan? - I'll do it.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37I think we're going to say Megan.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Megan, you're quite keen there.

0:11:39 > 0:11:40THEY LAUGH

0:11:40 > 0:11:43Let's have one of the Eggheads out here. Judith and CJ can't play,

0:11:43 > 0:11:47so it's Kevin, Daphne or Pat.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49- I think they're all pretty good. - Definitely don't know.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Um...Pat?

0:11:51 > 0:11:54I don't mind - what do you think?

0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Shall we go with Pat? - ALL: Yeah.

0:11:57 > 0:11:58OK, it'll to be Megan and Pat, then.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01You don't fear any of them, do you, Megan?

0:12:01 > 0:12:02SHE LAUGHS

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Let's have you into the Question Room, Megan and Pat.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Well, Megan, best of luck.

0:12:07 > 0:12:11Let's see if we can get you past Pat into the final round.

0:12:11 > 0:12:12Would you like to go first or second?

0:12:12 > 0:12:13I think I'll go second, Dermot.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18'Course you can. That means Pat kicks off.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Pat, your first question is this.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Back From The Brink: 1,000 Days At Number 11

0:12:23 > 0:12:27is by which former Chancellor of the Exchequer?

0:12:30 > 0:12:32I think it's a modern book,

0:12:32 > 0:12:34so I think it's not Denis Healey.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38"Back from the Brink" I think refers to the global financial crisis.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42But I'm not entirely sure

0:12:42 > 0:12:44whether it's Gordon Brown or Alastair Darling.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47I'm unsure.

0:12:47 > 0:12:51But I think that Alistair Darling's period as Chancellor

0:12:51 > 0:12:57coincided with the full fury of the financial crisis.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59Could he have done 1,000 days?

0:12:59 > 0:13:02That's just under three years

0:13:02 > 0:13:05of being Chancellor.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Let me think about that.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Gordon Brown

0:13:09 > 0:13:12took over from Tony Blair part-way through a term.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16A term is five years, or slightly less than five years,

0:13:16 > 0:13:18maximum English term.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22If he took over a year, year-and-a-half, two years in,

0:13:22 > 0:13:23with Alistair Darling as his Chancellor,

0:13:23 > 0:13:26I suppose Alistair Darling could clock up 1,000 days,

0:13:26 > 0:13:29so I'm quite unsure here. I'll go for Alistair Darling.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31A very cautious Pat there.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34Absolutely treading on ice.

0:13:34 > 0:13:35Yeah - Alastair Darling.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37So, Alastair Darling, Pat crawls to there.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40Your first question then, Megan.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43The John McEnroe Art Gallery

0:13:43 > 0:13:45is situated in which city?

0:13:48 > 0:13:50Um, I've not heard of it,

0:13:50 > 0:13:53so I'm going to have to go for a guess.

0:13:53 > 0:13:54Um...

0:13:54 > 0:13:57I'm going to go down the middle - I'm going to go for New York.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00A route that John McEnroe very rarely took with his shots,

0:14:00 > 0:14:02but it is the right answer.

0:14:02 > 0:14:03Yes, New York. Well done.

0:14:04 > 0:14:05So, Pat -

0:14:05 > 0:14:07second question.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10Sold in 2011, Man Posting A Letter

0:14:10 > 0:14:13and Man With A Cart are works by which artist?

0:14:16 > 0:14:19I link John Piper with stained glass, perhaps incorrectly.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23Eric Gill is typefaces and...

0:14:24 > 0:14:25..sculpture.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28Man Posting a Letter and Man with a Cart.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31It sounds like the material...

0:14:31 > 0:14:34that LS Lowry used to paint

0:14:34 > 0:14:36of ordinary people going around urban landscapes

0:14:36 > 0:14:37doing ordinary things.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41I think I'll have to go for LS Lowry.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43LS Lowry for the imaginatively-titled

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Man Posting a Letter and Man with a Cart(?)

0:14:45 > 0:14:46Spent a lot of time painting.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49Perhaps exhausted when it came to titling them.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51LS Lowry is correct, Pat. You have it.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Two for you, and Megan -

0:14:53 > 0:14:56Professor Phillip Goodman is the central character

0:14:56 > 0:15:00in which 2011 play by Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman?

0:15:04 > 0:15:07Again, not something I'm familiar with. Um..

0:15:10 > 0:15:13I don't know why Ghost Stories isn't sticking out for me.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Obviously, it'll probably be correct now.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20I'm going to go for Weird Histories, I think.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22OK, Weird Histories

0:15:22 > 0:15:24by Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman, you think?

0:15:24 > 0:15:28It's not! It's Ghost Stories, of the other two.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31Ghost Stories, with Phillip Goodman as the central character.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34A chance for Pat to clinch the round.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36"Persons" was the original surname

0:15:36 > 0:15:39of which author who died in 1984?

0:15:43 > 0:15:45I should know this, really.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47But it doesn't ring a bell.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Died in 1984?

0:15:50 > 0:15:51Capote...

0:15:52 > 0:15:54..was certainly a big society figure throughout the '60s

0:15:54 > 0:15:57and some of the '70s, I think, in New York.

0:15:58 > 0:16:02I think Henry Miller might be a slightly earlier...

0:16:02 > 0:16:04generation of author.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06And I don't know a great deal about Irwin Shaw.

0:16:08 > 0:16:12"Persons". Truman Capote. Could that be a real surname, "Capote"?

0:16:15 > 0:16:18I'm a bit bewildered here.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20On the assumption that "Truman Capote" sounds like

0:16:20 > 0:16:22a slightly made-up name,

0:16:22 > 0:16:23I'll go for Truman Capote.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25"Sounds like a made-up name."

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Well, you're right - it is.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29It's the right answer. Truman Capote.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Pat identified it, which means we end the round there.

0:16:32 > 0:16:33Bad luck, Megan.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35Sorry - don't get to put another question to you.

0:16:35 > 0:16:36Pat's got three out of three.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39Both please come back and join your teams.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43The Bristol Brains down to two now.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Three of you gone from the final round now. No Eggheads,

0:16:45 > 0:16:48so your only chance coming up now to get rid of one of them.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50See if you can do it on Sport.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Oh, dear! - THEY LAUGH

0:16:53 > 0:16:55Caroline and Ella remaining.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58OK, guys - what are we thinking?

0:16:58 > 0:17:00Who d'you think would be the most confident

0:17:00 > 0:17:02on the General Knowledge round, if you get through on your own -

0:17:02 > 0:17:04if YOU don't win?

0:17:05 > 0:17:07I'll do whatever makes Caroline most happy.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09Don't put it on me!

0:17:11 > 0:17:13It's really thrown the cat amongst the pigeons.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16We've never had a "pass" on taking part.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19You might as well try. Which one is it to be?

0:17:19 > 0:17:23- Go, Caroline. Take one for the team. - OK, I'll do it, then. OK.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25- OK.- Yeah.- Caroline.

0:17:25 > 0:17:29OK, Caroline. I think that is the most reluctant contestant...

0:17:29 > 0:17:33We've had a few but as I say, Caroline, enjoy yourself.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Who could you enjoy yourself against, do you think?

0:17:36 > 0:17:37Kevin or Daphne?

0:17:37 > 0:17:39ALL: Daphne.

0:17:39 > 0:17:40BOTH: Yeah.

0:17:40 > 0:17:44Be gentle, Daphne. Be kind. As you always are.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47Caroline and Daphne into the Question Room, please.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Well, Caroline, do you want to go first or second?

0:17:51 > 0:17:53I'll go second, please.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Trying to put it off a bit, eh? - Yeah!

0:17:59 > 0:18:01Daphne, first question goes to you.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04The BOA oversees British participation

0:18:04 > 0:18:07in which international sporting event?

0:18:12 > 0:18:13B-O-A?

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Um, Olympics?

0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Yes, surprisingly enough(!) - SHE LAUGHS

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Very tentative. Eggheads careful with your first questions

0:18:23 > 0:18:26after quite a few losses recently. Right to be so.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30British Olympic Association - the "O" there giving the clue away.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32OK, Caroline.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35Maybe you've done some of this down the pub at university.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Which scoring area on a dartboard

0:18:38 > 0:18:41is referred to as "the basement"?

0:18:43 > 0:18:47Wow! I have to say I've never even played darts before.

0:18:47 > 0:18:48- Right.- Um...

0:18:49 > 0:18:51I'm...

0:18:52 > 0:18:55..going to go with double five, I think.

0:18:55 > 0:18:56Double five?

0:18:56 > 0:19:00Not played darts and not familiar with what's down the bottom there -

0:19:00 > 0:19:02- obviously the basement, it's double three.- Oh!

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Double three in the basement.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06OK, well...

0:19:06 > 0:19:08See what Daphne does with her second one.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11What is the nickname of the USA rugby union team?

0:19:14 > 0:19:15SHE LAUGHS

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Um, I think they're the Eagles.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21They are, and you are soaring into a two-nil lead,

0:19:21 > 0:19:24which means, Caroline, you need to get this.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Who served as Europe's captain

0:19:27 > 0:19:30for Golf's Solheim Cup in 2011?

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Wow!

0:19:36 > 0:19:40I'm definitely not a big golf fan.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44So it's going to have to be a guess again.

0:19:44 > 0:19:45Um...

0:19:47 > 0:19:48Erm...

0:19:52 > 0:19:56I'm going to go with Alison Nicholas.

0:19:56 > 0:19:57Hey-hey! You've got it.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59Ooh!

0:20:00 > 0:20:01There, you see.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03- Yeah!- You're a golfing expert.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06The Solheim Cup, Daphne, is the female version of the Ryder Cup?

0:20:06 > 0:20:07Yes.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09OK.

0:20:10 > 0:20:11Alison Nicholas there,

0:20:11 > 0:20:12keeping you alive.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14But Daphne's got a chance here.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18Daphne, Masked Marvel, the winner of the 2011 St Leger

0:20:18 > 0:20:21and Duncan, joint winner of the Irish St Leger on the same day,

0:20:21 > 0:20:23were trained by whom?

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Don't know. Don't really follow horse racing.

0:20:29 > 0:20:30Um..

0:20:32 > 0:20:33SHE SIGHS

0:20:35 > 0:20:37..Barry Hills.

0:20:37 > 0:20:38- No.- No.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41Not Barry Hills. Other Eggheads?

0:20:41 > 0:20:42John Gosden.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45John Gosden, yes. John Gosden, there.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Not identified by Daphne.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49Well, well, well, Caroline.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52I think you're trying to get this over with quickly as you can,

0:20:52 > 0:20:55but you know what? You might need to guess this, you might not.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57If you get this, anything can happen.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00Who was ITV's main commentator

0:21:00 > 0:21:03for the 1966 football World Cup Final?

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Who was ITV's main commentator

0:21:10 > 0:21:13for the 1966 football World Cup Final?

0:21:15 > 0:21:16Um...

0:21:18 > 0:21:19Oh!

0:21:19 > 0:21:21Definitely don't know this!

0:21:21 > 0:21:22Um...

0:21:26 > 0:21:27I'm...

0:21:28 > 0:21:31..going to go with Raymond "Glennading"... "Glennaning"?

0:21:31 > 0:21:33- Glendenning?- Yep, that one!

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Raymond Glendenning, for the ITV's main commentator.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37You say you don't know this -

0:21:37 > 0:21:39I think a lot of people don't know this,

0:21:39 > 0:21:42because the man on the other side came up with the famous phrase

0:21:42 > 0:21:44and, as so often with those events,

0:21:44 > 0:21:46most people tended to watch it on the BBC.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48The other man was Kenneth Wolstenholme,

0:21:48 > 0:21:51with, "They think it's all over - it is now."

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Who was commentating for ITV? It's NOT Raymond Glendenning.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56It's incorrect. Other Eggheads?

0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Do you know?- Hugh Johns?

0:21:59 > 0:22:01Hugh Johns - it was Hugh Johns.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03But not identified.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Bad luck there, Caroline

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Pretty well. You got one right there.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12It means, Daphne, you're through to the final round, not Caroline.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Both please come back and join your teams.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17So this is what we've been playing towards.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20It's time for the final round - as always, is General Knowledge.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:22:23 > 0:22:25won't be allowed to take part in this round.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28So Laura, Caroline, Fi and Megan from the Bristol Brains -

0:22:28 > 0:22:29would you leave the studio, please?

0:22:31 > 0:22:33Ella, you're playing to win the Bristol Brains

0:22:33 > 0:22:35£1,000.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37Pat, Judith, Kevin, CJ and Daphne,

0:22:37 > 0:22:40you're playing for something which money cannot buy -

0:22:40 > 0:22:42the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44I'll ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46The questions are all General Knowledge

0:22:46 > 0:22:49and you are allowed to confer.

0:22:49 > 0:22:50Ella, the question then is,

0:22:50 > 0:22:54is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?

0:22:54 > 0:22:56How do you want to play - go first or second?

0:22:56 > 0:22:58I think I'll go second, please.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03It's the Eggheads kicking off today.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05This is your question then, Eggheads.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07What name is given to the pieces of metal

0:23:07 > 0:23:09attached to a saddle,

0:23:09 > 0:23:11which hold a horse rider's feet?

0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Stirrups?- Yup.

0:23:16 > 0:23:17Those are stirrups.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20They are stirrups, yes. Well done, Eggheads. Eased in there.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Let's ease you in, Ella, hopefully.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26Empire magazine is most concerned with which subject?

0:23:29 > 0:23:32Thankfully, I think I know the answer to this question.

0:23:32 > 0:23:33I think it's films?

0:23:33 > 0:23:36Empire concerns itself mostly with films.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38Yes, absolutely right.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40OK, so no slip up there.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43Solid and assured start from Ella.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Eggheads, in which film do Fred Astaire,

0:23:45 > 0:23:49Jack Buchanan and Nanette Fabray dress as babies

0:23:49 > 0:23:50and perform a song called Triplets?

0:23:53 > 0:23:56- The Band Wagon.- Yep.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58It's The Band Wagon.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01It is The Band Wagon, Eggheads.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Next question then for you, Ella.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Boxgrove Quarry,

0:24:05 > 0:24:09known for its archaeological site, is in which county?

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Um...

0:24:14 > 0:24:16I have no idea.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21I...

0:24:22 > 0:24:25..live fairly near Warwickshire,

0:24:25 > 0:24:27outside of term time,

0:24:27 > 0:24:29and I haven't heard of it.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31I'm not very familiar with the South.

0:24:31 > 0:24:32Um...

0:24:33 > 0:24:37I'm going to go for Wiltshire.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39Closest of those to Bristol, I guess.

0:24:39 > 0:24:40HE LAUGHS

0:24:40 > 0:24:42Er...

0:24:42 > 0:24:45it's not Warwickshire, but it's not Wiltshire.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47It is in West Sussex.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49Not there for you.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51So it means, Eggheads, you win if you get this.

0:24:51 > 0:24:52What type of meat is obtained

0:24:52 > 0:24:55from a Santa Gertrudis?

0:24:56 > 0:25:01What type of meat is obtained from a Santa Gertrudis?

0:25:01 > 0:25:04Have a spelling on that, please.

0:25:04 > 0:25:05GERTRUDIS.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07A Santa Gertrudis.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09A "St Gertrude".

0:25:09 > 0:25:12It's obviously a breed of some...

0:25:12 > 0:25:14It's also Spanish, so it could be Argentinian.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16I think Daphne's got an inkle.

0:25:16 > 0:25:17Oh, we've got an inkle, good.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Chicken?

0:25:19 > 0:25:23I was thinking it could be Spanish, therefore Argentinian,

0:25:23 > 0:25:24therefore beef.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27I was thinking...

0:25:28 > 0:25:31I don't know, but I think I've heard

0:25:31 > 0:25:34of a breed of chicken called St Gertrude.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36- That's fine.- But that's... - Pat, any...?

0:25:36 > 0:25:40Well, unless anyone's got anything stronger than a slight inkle?

0:25:40 > 0:25:43- No, that's...- I'm happy with that. - Yeah?

0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Yes.- I think if Daphne

0:25:46 > 0:25:48has actually got an idea...

0:25:49 > 0:25:52Well, no - it's more if any of us have got...

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Unsurprisingly, we don't know it

0:25:54 > 0:25:56but Daphne THINKS she may have heard of it as a chicken.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59As a breed of chicken,

0:25:59 > 0:26:01- so that's what we're going for. - Chicken?

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Santa Gertrudis.

0:26:04 > 0:26:05Rare slip from Daphne.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08"Steered" - listen to the word "steer" -

0:26:08 > 0:26:10the Eggheads the wrong way,

0:26:10 > 0:26:12away from beef.

0:26:12 > 0:26:16I thought it was in the net for the Eggheads there,

0:26:16 > 0:26:18but, Santa Gertrudis - no.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20A Texan breed of cattle.

0:26:20 > 0:26:21Great news, Ella.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24Get this and we don't know what might happen.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26It'll get us into Sudden Death at least,

0:26:26 > 0:26:27and we'll take it from there.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29So, what was the last novel

0:26:29 > 0:26:31completed by Charles Dickens?

0:26:35 > 0:26:39What was the last novel completed by Charles Dickens?

0:26:42 > 0:26:43I...

0:26:44 > 0:26:45..don't know.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48I haven't read any of them.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51I am going to have to guess.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53I think that...

0:26:54 > 0:26:57..A Tale Of Two Cities is quite well-known,

0:26:57 > 0:26:59and I'm going to go with the logic

0:26:59 > 0:27:02that he may have tailed off slightly at the end,

0:27:02 > 0:27:06so I'm going to go for one of the others.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09And I'm going to go for...

0:27:10 > 0:27:12..Dombey and Son?

0:27:13 > 0:27:15OK. A Tale of Two Cities rejected.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17It's not A Tale of Two Cities.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20It's not Dombey and Son, it's Our Mutual Friend.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23Bad luck, Ella. It means, Eggheads, you've won.

0:27:30 > 0:27:35Tough there, always tough on your own against all those five Eggheads.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37Just missed out with your Dickens there.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39Thanks very much, Ella, for taking on the Eggheads,

0:27:39 > 0:27:41on her own in the final round,

0:27:41 > 0:27:43and all the Bristol Brains who went before you

0:27:43 > 0:27:46into the Question room there, especially Caroline, I think,

0:27:46 > 0:27:48who really was almost dragged

0:27:48 > 0:27:50kicking and screaming to play that Sport round,

0:27:50 > 0:27:53but got a question right, Caroline. Head held high.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55And all the heads held high from the Bristol Brains,

0:27:55 > 0:27:56taking on the Eggheads today,

0:27:56 > 0:27:58but not managed it in the end.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01The Eggheads have done what comes naturally

0:28:01 > 0:28:03and they reign supreme over Quizland once again.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06I'm afraid you won't be going home with £1,000.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08That means the money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:08 > 0:28:10Eggheads, congratulations.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers

0:28:13 > 0:28:15have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18£2,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
