0:00:04 > 0:00:05These people are amongst
0:00:05 > 0:00:08the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:29pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34And challenging our resident quiz champions today are...
0:00:34 > 0:00:39DUFFA. It stands for Didsbury Ultimate Frisbee For Amateurs
0:00:39 > 0:00:43and everyone on the team is an active member. Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Hi. I'm Steve, I'm 31 and I'm an IT project manager.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hello. I'm James, I'm 29 and I'm a patent attorney.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56Hi. I'm Ellie, I'm 26 and I'm a fluvial geomorphologist.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi. I'm Alan. I'm 31. I'm training programme manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi. I'm Tim, I'm 30 and I'm a senior account manager.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Welcome to you, DUFFA. We've explained what that stands for.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Tell us about Ultimate Frisbee for amateurs then, Steve.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- Good fun?- Great fun. It's a mixed sport
0:01:13 > 0:01:16so we have seven people on the pitch at a time
0:01:16 > 0:01:20and you can sub on and off and you're competing against another team,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23trying to catch the disc into their end zone.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25In terms of the scoring, is it American football scoring,
0:01:25 > 0:01:27or netball scoring, or what?
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Similar to a try in rugby
0:01:28 > 0:01:31so you're trying to catch the Frisbee in the end zone
0:01:31 > 0:01:34without the other team intercepting it or it hitting the ground.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Do you have to get your feet down in the end zone?
0:01:36 > 0:01:41- Yes, you have to have your whole body in the end zone.- Whole body?!
0:01:41 > 0:01:45There's quite a lot of diving out for the final disc to catch it,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- the final yard.- Who's the best at throwing the Frisbee, then?
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- I think that would be Alan. - Yeah, I think Alan.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53How far could you get it?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55On a really good day, if the wind is with me,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I can throw it the length of the pitch comfortably
0:01:58 > 0:01:59which is 100 metres.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04Whoa! Not just threw it 100 metres, but pick someone out with that pass?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06THEY LAUGH
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Erm...maybe.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09If it goes well.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12We could do it indoors here.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Clear all the kit out of the studio,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17maybe get the Eggheads in their shorts.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19DUFFA LAUGH
0:02:19 > 0:02:22They're actually in them already. There's a thought.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Now, every day there's £1,000 worth
0:02:24 > 0:02:27of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34So, DUFFA, the Eggheads have won the last 15 games
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- That means £16,000...- Wow! - ..says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Might buy you a new Frisbee or two if you win.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43OK. Well, let's play. Let's see if sport comes up eventually...
0:02:43 > 0:02:47But it's not coming up now because our first head-to-head battle is
0:02:47 > 0:02:49on the subject of Film and Television.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Who'd like to play this?
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- I think that's you, Steve. - That would be myself.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55OK. Straight in, Steve.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Any Egghead you like, at this stage.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Who do you think?- Who do we think?
0:03:00 > 0:03:05I think it's Judith or CJ, I think.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- CJ.- CJ.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09We'll have CJ, please.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13He was giving it that, "How much is that doggie in the window?" look.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Let's have Steve and CJ into the question room
0:03:16 > 0:03:18to contest Film and Television.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Off you go, please.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Steve. Do you want the first or the second set of questions?
0:03:24 > 0:03:25I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Right, Steve. Film question to start.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34The 2010 Disney film Tangled
0:03:34 > 0:03:36is a modern take on which fairytale?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43OK. I'm not sure I've seen this...
0:03:43 > 0:03:46but I can sort of picture...
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I can picture the poster, I think.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52I believe there's a picture of a witch eating an apple
0:03:52 > 0:03:55which would make me think it's Snow White
0:03:55 > 0:03:57so I'm going to say Snow White.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59OK. Witches and apples, Snow White.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02It would be if there were witches and apples
0:04:02 > 0:04:04but that's led everyone to shake their heads.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06What is it, other DUFFA members?
0:04:06 > 0:04:07ALL: Rapunzel.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08It's Rapunzel.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Let down your hair, the tangle... they're referring to that. OK.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Well, CJ, chance for an early lead.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Who played Ma Larkin in the TV series The Darling Buds Of May?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I never saw her in the show but I have met her on a few occasions
0:04:27 > 0:04:30because we're both vegetarians and it's Pam Ferris.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Both vegetarians?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34I thought you might have met because you've both been in panto.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Not together but she'll have that honour soon.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38DERMOT LAUGHS
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Pam, if you're listening, we apologise.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Great role though in The Darling Buds Of May, CJ identified it.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Well done. One to you. OK, Steve.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Let's see if we can get you off the mark. Who was the first woman to win
0:04:51 > 0:04:53a best director Academy Award?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01It's a tough one, this one. Erm...
0:05:01 > 0:05:05I'm not sure I could name any female directors which is not a good start.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I think I'm going to have to go right just on the basis
0:05:08 > 0:05:11that Kathryn Bigelow's ringing a very faint bell for some reason.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13So, Kathryn Bigelow, please.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Yeah, it is the right answer.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19I think it's ringing a bell because it's relatively recent.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Took a long time for a woman to claim this Academy Award.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- CJ, for which film?- The Hurt Locker. - The Hurt Locker, yeah.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Well done there, Steve. But CJ...
0:05:29 > 0:05:31had the lead. Will he regain it?
0:05:31 > 0:05:36CJ, where is the American TV series Boardwalk Empire primarily set?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I think it's with Steve Buscemi
0:05:42 > 0:05:46and Atlantic City is associated with boardwalks so Atlantic City.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Boardwalks, gambling and all that goes on in that show.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52It's the right answer. Yes, well done, CJ.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Back in the lead. And Steve, it means you need to get this.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00For which film did Alec Guinness won his only best actor Oscar?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07OK. Again, I'm afraid I don't know the answer.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11So I'm going to have to work on a hunch.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14And I'm going to say it's Our Man In Havana.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17OK. Our Man In Havana.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21All great films, great actor and surprisingly,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23only won the one best actor Oscar.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27But it's for that amazing role in The Bridge On The River Kwai.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29CJ, you don't get to face another question.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33I know you enjoy it but you've enjoyed winning, I'm sure.
0:06:33 > 0:06:362-1 to you. Means you won't be playing in the final round, Steve.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Well, after the early exchanges, DUFFA are one brain down
0:06:42 > 0:06:45from the final round. The Eggheads are all still there
0:06:45 > 0:06:48but only one round gone, plenty of mileage left.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50And our second head-to-head is Arts and Books.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Who'd like to play this?
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Ellie, are you doing that because you so want to play it?
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- I find it difficult so I don't want to play it.- Not you, then.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Arts and Books, who wants to play it?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- I think it's me.- I think it is you, Tim. What's your Egghead of choice?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Pat?- Shall we say Pat?- Yeah.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13- I'll give Pat a whirl, if that's OK, please?- Give Pat a whirl?!
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Let's have Tim and Pat into the question room, please.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Tim, in this Arts and Books round,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21would you like to go first or second?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23I'll go second, please, Dermot.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28That means you start, Pat. Here's your question.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32"My name was Salmon like the fish, first name Susie.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37"I was 14 when I was murdered on December 6th 1973."
0:07:37 > 0:07:39It's a quotation from which novel?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Sounds like it's The Lovely Bones.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50It was made into a film recently with Saoirse Ronan playing
0:07:50 > 0:07:54the dead girl who is the narrator of the entire thing.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58She watches from above. So I think it's The Lovely Bones.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Susie Salmon in The Lovely Bones. It's the right answer. Well done.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- Would you have got that, Tim? - I think so, Dermot. Yeah... Well...
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- It's hard to know now. Concentrate on this.- OK.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Your first question.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14In which year was the English metaphysical poet John Donne born?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22OK. I think it was pretty early, Dermot.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26So I'm going to go for the earliest of the three, 1572.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Well worked out. It's the right answer. Yes, 1572, John Donne born.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Well done there, Tim. That's one all. Pat, your second question.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Which British poet wrote the World War I sonnet The Soldier?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46They're all poets link to varying degrees with World War I.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I think The Soldier is by Rupert Brooke.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52It's the right answer, Pat.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Two to you. OK, Tim.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57What was Anne Bronte's first novel?
0:09:03 > 0:09:04OK.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08So, I'm just trying to play it through my mind.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I'm trying to get any other Bronte novels out of there.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Erm...and...
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Agnes Grey is sticking in my mind
0:09:15 > 0:09:18so one I think I'm going to go for that, please.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Agnes Grey...
0:09:20 > 0:09:23is the right answer. Tim, well done.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Pat, your third question.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Who wrote the 1965 novel Midnight Cowboy?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Well, it's a very famous film.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I've never heard it mentioned in connection with Kerouac
0:09:39 > 0:09:42and Hubert Selby Jr is invariably
0:09:42 > 0:09:46described as the author of Last Exit From Brooklyn.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51So there is an argument for going for the unknown here.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- I think I'll have to go for James Leo Herlihy.- OK.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57so eliminating the other two and left with James Leo Herlihy...
0:09:57 > 0:09:59you got the right answer, Pat.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02The work of an Egghead. OK.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05OK. So, it means you've got to get this, Tim, you know that.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10Portrait de Paul Eluard, which sold for £13.5 million
0:10:10 > 0:10:12in February 2011, is a work by which artist?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20OK, Dermot, I'm not 100 % sure.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I think, and this could be a mistake,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I'm going to rule out Salvador Dali
0:10:24 > 0:10:27because that doesn't strike me as right.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29I'm familiar with some of his work.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Erm...
0:10:32 > 0:10:37I'm familiar with some of Marcel Duchamp's work, of course.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40But, Miro, is it? Erm...
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Yeah, by a process of elimination I'm going to go for Miro, please.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49OK, Miro, elimination, mimicking Pat, there,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51trying to knock out two of the answers,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54what's left must be the right one.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57You've actually knocked out the right one already.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01It's Salvador Dali. And that closes the round.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Falling at the last hurdle, not getting that,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05which means you're not playing in the final round.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Well, then, in spite of Tim's best efforts,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14DUFFA have lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16The Eggheads are all still intact.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19And our third head-to-head, coming up right now, is Sport.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24Who would like to play this one? It's James or Alan?
0:11:24 > 0:11:25That's me, Dermot.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27And who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Remember that Pat and CJ have played, so the other three.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I think Judith. Please.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- Judith, OK.- You are mean!
0:11:37 > 0:11:38She knew that was coming!
0:11:38 > 0:11:42You haven't seen him quizzing. It will get even meaner, I'm sure.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Let's have James and Judith into the question room, please.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50OK, you get to choose, as always, James.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- Do you want to go first or second? - Yes, I'll go first, thanks, Dermot.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00First question then, James. Where was the 2011 Cricket World Cup held?
0:12:04 > 0:12:11I'm pretty sure that it was held in India that year.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13So, India's in Asia so I'll go for Asia.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Pretty broad geographical categories.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Asia's the right answer, of course.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21OK, Judith.
0:12:21 > 0:12:27The footballer, Jack Charlton, usually played in which position?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I don't think he was a goalkeeper.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I think he was a striker.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34JUDITH LAUGHS
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Our Leeds United correspondent hanging his head in shame.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Of course, one of Leeds United's greatest players.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46And scored a few goals, I know, for Leeds.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Did he get as many as Micky Jones and your other great strikers?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I'm not sure, to be honest.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Of course he didn't, because he wasn't a striker, he was...
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Well, he was a defender, obviously.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00He was so tall he could only be a defender.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05He was a defender and noted for his take-no-prisoners style.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09That means a good start, then for you, James.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14In the lead. Second question coming your way, too.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16What was the world record time set by Sally Gunnell
0:13:16 > 0:13:19in the final of the 400 metres hurdles
0:13:19 > 0:13:22at the 1993 Athletics world Championships?
0:13:30 > 0:13:35The last one there sounds a little bit too long, I think,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37for 400 metres hurdles.
0:13:37 > 0:13:3947, that sounds very quick.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42That wouldn't be a bad time without the hurdles,
0:13:42 > 0:13:47so I think I'll go straight down the middle, for 52.74.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52So, we've got too slow, too quick, just right, you think in the middle.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55And you are right, yes, 52.74.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58That's great news, James. You're 2-0 up and go through to the final round
0:13:58 > 0:14:00if Judith doesn't get this.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Where was the opening race of the 2011 Formula 1 season
0:14:04 > 0:14:06scheduled to take place,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09before anti-government protests there led to its cancellation?
0:14:11 > 0:14:17I think, for once, I do know this. I think it was Bahrain. Bach-rain!
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Bach-rain. A political element to that, of course, as well,
0:14:20 > 0:14:25and it's the right answer, Judith. Keeping your fading hopes alive.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27They may well be extinguished now
0:14:27 > 0:14:29because you go through to the final round
0:14:29 > 0:14:31if you get the right answer here, James.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36Yani Tseng and Na Yeon Choi are famous names in which sport?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I think I'll rule out golf
0:14:41 > 0:14:45because I haven't heard of those names as golfers.
0:14:45 > 0:14:52Erm, it's a pair of names, so maybe they play pairs in badminton.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I'm tending towards badminton, I think.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58And yes, I'll go with badminton.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03Badminton for Yani Tseng and Na Yeon Choi.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Are golfers.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Golf? Wow!
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Yes. Golfers.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10And a chance gone begging to get into the final round.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Will Judith make you pay?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Judith, in which year did Bill Beaumont
0:15:14 > 0:15:17last play test match rugby union for England?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I haven't a clue. I thought it was 1950-something.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28SHE LAUGHS
0:15:28 > 0:15:30So it'll be a pure guess.
0:15:30 > 0:15:311986.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Off you go, Judith.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36It's the wrong answer. It's 1982.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- Oh, bye-bye.- In 1982, yes,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Bill Beaumont last played test match rugby union for England
0:15:41 > 0:15:45so it didn't matter about your mix-up with the golfers, James,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47you're still through to the final round.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:15:51 > 0:15:52That's looking better.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55DUFFA still have two brains missing from the final round,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58but one Egghead now gone in the form of Judith.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01So our next subject, our last head-to-head before the final round
0:16:01 > 0:16:04is Geography. Your remaining available players
0:16:04 > 0:16:06are Ellie or Alan.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- That'll be me.- All right, Ellie.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11And who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Remaining players there are Kevin or Barry.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Kevin or Barry, who do you want?
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Barry... Go, go cavern.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- You think Kevin?- Kevin?- Go for it.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- Go Kevin?- Yeah.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Go, Kevin, go. Or go out of the game, is what we want him to do.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Let's have Ellie and Kevin into the Question Room, please.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Now, Ellie, of course,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35your profession is relevant to this Geography round.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I want to try and say it anyway -
0:16:37 > 0:16:39a fluvial geomorphologist.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41What's that when it's at home?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43That is someone who surveys rivers
0:16:43 > 0:16:46to help restore and manage them
0:16:46 > 0:16:49and look at the interaction of water and sediments
0:16:49 > 0:16:53and the features that it creates and the processes that go on.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57- You can help to restore a river in a sustainable way.- Fascinating subject,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I think we could discuss it all day.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Problem is, those Eggheads are drinking up that knowledge.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08We're giving them an advantage against some other team, so better stop and play the round.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Would you like to go first or second?
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Yes, I'll go first.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Good luck, Ellie. First question for you is this one.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18What is the official currency of Italy?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26I...thought it probably was the lira,
0:17:26 > 0:17:27but it's now the euro,
0:17:27 > 0:17:30now they're in the European Union,
0:17:30 > 0:17:31so I'll go with euro.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33That would be just about right, yes.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36The official currency of Italy
0:17:36 > 0:17:38is, of course, the euro.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40As Ellie pointed out, it used to be the lira.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43OK, your first question then, Kevin.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Peru has a coastline on which body of water?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52It's on the west coast of South America,
0:17:52 > 0:17:53so that's the Pacific.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Certainly is, yes. Pacific is the right answer. We're looking for
0:17:57 > 0:17:59some river questions for you, Ellie.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Not in this one, anyway.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03What is the approximate population of South Africa?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10SHE SIGHS
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Well...
0:18:11 > 0:18:14I'm not sure, so...
0:18:14 > 0:18:1710 million seems low, perhaps.
0:18:17 > 0:18:1950 million seems too high, so I'll go for...
0:18:19 > 0:18:21down the middle, 25 million.
0:18:21 > 0:18:2425 million, like Sally Gunnell's record.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- James' technique there, down the middle.- Yes.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29But it's actually quite populous.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31It is 50 million.
0:18:31 > 0:18:3450 million or so people living in South Africa.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38So nothing there. What will Kevin do with his second question?
0:18:38 > 0:18:39We'll find out now.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43What colour is the top stripe on the national flag of Lithuania?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I always hate having to visualise these stripes.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52They haven't got blue, so that's out.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54They have got yellow and green on the flag
0:18:54 > 0:18:56cos it's yellow, green and red.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Which is the top one?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I can't visualise green on the top
0:19:03 > 0:19:05so I'm going for yellow.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Yellow.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09That's just... It is the right answer, Kevin, yes.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Let's turn to the business at hand.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Ellie, very important question here. You need to get this.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Castlebar is the county town of which Irish county?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Well, another good question.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28I've only heard of Mayo.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I've not heard of Westmeath, Offaly,
0:19:30 > 0:19:32so just going on that,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34I'm going to go for Mayo.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36CHUCKLING
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Barry, why are you laughing? - It's the right answer.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- It is right, yes, well done.- Yes!
0:19:41 > 0:19:43THEY LAUGH
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Glad to see an excited contestant there.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Well, you're potentially facing Sudden Death against Kevin.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53He has to get this wrong, though, for that to happen.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55If not, no place in the final round.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00Kevin, how high is Aneto, the highest peak in the Pyrenees?
0:20:06 > 0:20:11- More metric measurements. - Yeah, we had that recently with you.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- You don't like the metric. - No, I don't.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Um...
0:20:17 > 0:20:22I'm thinking it's probably in the sort of 12,000-feet range
0:20:22 > 0:20:26so I'll go for the 4,404.
0:20:26 > 0:20:304,404 for Aneto, the highest peak in the Pyrenees.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32What do we think, other Eggheads?
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- I'd have thought it was slightly less.- That seems too high to me.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- That's half the height of Everest. - That's 12,000 feet, roughly.- Yeah.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42The other Eggheads don't agree.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45They're right, you're wrong, Kevin.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- It's 3,404. - OK. Lower than I thought.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Can we have another celebration, Ellie? Or no, let's wait
0:20:50 > 0:20:54till you get a question right. You're into Sudden Death.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Can you put Kevin out?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59What is the official language of Oman?
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Oman...
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Oh...
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I should have a...
0:21:07 > 0:21:09an educated guess,
0:21:09 > 0:21:11but everything evades me. Um...
0:21:11 > 0:21:12I...
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Do you want to have a guess or pass, Ellie?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20I'll pass. I can't guess. I'm afraid of offending someone.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22All right, you might get another chance.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Kevin will plunge the sword.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25- Arabic.- It's Arabic.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Official language of Oman.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31OK, nothing there for Ellie. Will Kevin go through with this?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34The Sao Francisco River flows
0:21:34 > 0:21:39for approximately 3,000km through which South American country?
0:21:39 > 0:21:40It's in Brazil.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43And that's that, then.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Yeah.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47It is the right answer, Kevin, yes.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Brazil is right, so you are through to the final round.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Bad luck, Ellie. You got him into Sudden Death
0:21:52 > 0:21:56and just that blank there, the mind wiping itself of all knowledge
0:21:56 > 0:21:59when we went into Sudden Death. You won't be in the final round.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Bad luck there, Ellie.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07We finally got a river question, but Kevin got it!
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Not fair. But this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14It's time for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16I'm afraid those who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:16 > 0:22:19can't take part in this round, so Steve, Ellie and Tim from DUFFA,
0:22:19 > 0:22:22and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25would you all leave the studio now, please?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28So, James and Alan,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30you're playing to win DUFFA £16,000.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Barry, Pat, Kevin and CJ, you're playing for something
0:22:33 > 0:22:36no amount of money can buy - it is your very reputation.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn. This time,
0:22:40 > 0:22:44they are all General Knowledge and you may confer in this final round.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46DUFFA, the question is, are your two brains better
0:22:46 > 0:22:48than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:48 > 0:22:52And James and Alan, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Shall we go first?- Let's go first. - We'll go first, Dermot.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Best of luck, guys.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03First General Knowledge question in the final round coming your way.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08In 2004, Liam Byrne became an MP representing which party?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15I think there's not that many Lib Dem MPs
0:23:15 > 0:23:17and if he was one, I might have heard of him.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Maybe we should eliminate Lib Dem, you think?- OK, yeah.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21Which election was it? 2000...
0:23:21 > 0:23:23In the year 2004.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26It wasn't a great year for the Tories.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I guess Labour is as good as a guess as we could.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Shall we do that, you think?- Yeah.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34It's a shot in the dark, but I think we're going to go for a Labour.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36You've got the right answer.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37- Yes!- Liam Byrne.
0:23:37 > 0:23:402004, not a general election year. It was a by-election.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43OK, Eggheads, your first question.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Someone Like You was a UK number one single
0:23:46 > 0:23:49for which singer in February 2011?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53It's Adele. It got to number one,
0:23:53 > 0:23:56dropped back down, then went back to number one.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59It's that wonderful, wonderful singer Adele.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01We all agree about that. It is the right answer,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04yes, Adele. OK, one each,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06and your second question, then, guys.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08White Nose Syndrome
0:24:08 > 0:24:12is a condition that's killed thousands of which creature?
0:24:14 > 0:24:18It doesn't sound like foxes, I don't think.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19No, I've got an inkling
0:24:19 > 0:24:23that it's bats, but I can't pull up a very good reason for it.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24What's the other one?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- It's hedgehogs.- Hedgehogs.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Shall we go with your hunch?
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Let's go with bats.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Our answer is bats.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Bats. With White Nose Syndrome,
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- you've worked it out again. It's the right answer.- Yes!- Well done, guys.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Bats is correct, so you have the lead.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44Eggheads, which country celebrates Greenery Day on the 4th May,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Children's Day on the 5th May
0:24:46 > 0:24:51and Respect For The Aged Day on the third Monday in September?
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- It's Japan, definitely Japan. - Japan, Respect The Aged Day.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00I think the clue there is Respect For The Aged day,
0:25:00 > 0:25:02and the answer is Japan.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Should have one here, shouldn't we?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Japan is the right answer. Yes, well done. So two-all.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Third question for DUFFA.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15In 2001, Tina Weaver became the editor of which newspaper?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- The hunches have been working so far.- You got a hunch?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Leaning towards the Sunday Mirror,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27just leaning ever so slightly.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Um, all right, Sunday Mirror.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30We're swimming in deep water
0:25:30 > 0:25:33but I think our answer is the Sunday Mirror.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35It seems to be getting deeper and deeper for you.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Every question, you've gone,
0:25:37 > 0:25:38"Oh, I don't know."
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Your feet aren't touching the bottom
0:25:40 > 0:25:42but you've got the right answer.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43It's the Sunday Mirror.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Tina Weaver, editor of the Sunday Mirror, appointed in 2001.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50So, Eggheads, you need to get this.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53The explorer Thor Heyerdahl
0:25:53 > 0:25:57named his raft Kon-Tiki after a god from which civilisation?
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- Probably the Inca.- Inca.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Because of sailing between the west coast of South America
0:26:05 > 0:26:07and the South Seas. Or vice versa.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10So, yeah, think it's Inca.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Well, he sailed on the Kon-Tiki
0:26:13 > 0:26:17to prove that the South Americans colonised the...
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Was it Polynesia?
0:26:18 > 0:26:22And we believe it was named after an Inca god.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- It was made of balsawood, wasn't it?- It was.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- Got a bit waterlogged.- It's in a museum in Oslo. I've seen it.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31OK, you've seen the KonTiki and you identified Inca
0:26:31 > 0:26:32as the right answer, Eggheads.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35We go to Sudden Death in the final round,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37£16,000 at stake.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40James and Alan going very well, swimming in deep waters, said Alan.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42They just got an awful lot deeper
0:26:42 > 0:26:46because in Sudden Death, as you know, we take away the choices.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Here's your question.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50What was the name of the founder
0:26:50 > 0:26:53of the Miss World beauty pageant, who became famous
0:26:53 > 0:26:55for announcing the results in reverse order?
0:26:55 > 0:27:00Remember, in Eggheads, we require a first name and a second name.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04The only name that even rings a bell in connection with Miss...
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Is it Miss Universe? - It was Miss World.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Miss World beauty pageant.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11I think, Donald Trump is ringing a bell. I know he's got...
0:27:11 > 0:27:15I think it's a wrong bell, but I don't have a better answer.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Donald Trump is the best I can come up with.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Let's go with it.- The only name we've got is Donald Trump.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Is that your answer? - That's our answer.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Donald Trump, with the Miss World beauty pageant. Um...
0:27:27 > 0:27:29No, it's not the right answer.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Before Donald Trump's time. Do you know, Eggheads?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- Eric Morley?- Eric Morley,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- then he died and his daughter Julia took over.- Eric Morley,
0:27:36 > 0:27:42British Eric Morley came up with the Miss World concept.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45It's not over yet, because the Eggheads, to win,
0:27:45 > 0:27:47have to get their question right.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49In 2004, Paul Staines
0:27:49 > 0:27:54started to write a political blog under what name?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- Guido Fawkes.- Sorry?- Guido Fawkes.
