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 > 0:00:20The 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 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Taking on the awesome might of our quiz champions

0:00:34 > 0:00:36are Lightning Can Strike Twice.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38This team of colleagues all work

0:00:38 > 0:00:42for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs in Stockton-on-Tees

0:00:42 > 0:00:48and feature amongst their number a competitor from the 2011 World Quiz Championships. Let's meet them.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Michael, I'm 33 and I'm a civil servant.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Ben, 28, and I'm a civil servant.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm Lisa, I'm 45 and I'm an administrative officer.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Chris, I'm 46 and I'm a civil servant.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Nige, I'm 48 and I'm a front-line manager.

0:01:04 > 0:01:10Welcome to you, Lightning Can Strike Twice. I mentioned the World Quiz Championships of 2011.

0:01:10 > 0:01:15- Michael...- That's right. - You took part. What happened in one of the rounds?

0:01:15 > 0:01:22Overall, Pat won, Kevin came second and I managed 254th, which is still respectable, I think.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Out of how many? 255? - I'd say seven billion!

0:01:25 > 0:01:29Exactly, the entire planet. There's a fun round, you took Kevin on?

0:01:29 > 0:01:35A fun round afterwards, yeah, and I managed to win out of everyone who was in the studio that day.

0:01:35 > 0:01:40- Remember Fifteen To One?- Yeah.- Same rules as that and Michael triumphed.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44- You won it. Hence the team name? - Hopefully, it can happen again.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48Let's hope so. OK, well, this isn't Fifteen To One. It's Eggheads.

0:01:48 > 0:01:53Every day, there is £1,000-worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:53 > 0:01:58But if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02Lightning Can Strike Twice, the Eggheads have won the last five games.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06That means £6,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:02:06 > 0:02:11Should be a good battle. Let's start. Our first head-to-head today is Film & Television.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Who would like to take this one on?

0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Film & TV.- It's got to be Chris. - Chris here, he's the man.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20It's going to be me.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24- Chris. Choose an Egghead. Could be your namesake.- Shall I try Barry?

0:02:24 > 0:02:31- I think Barry, yeah.- Barry.- Barry. It's Chris from Lightning Can Strike Twice and Barry from the Eggheads.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35Could I ask you both to take your positions in the question room?

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Well, Chris, I know you know how it works very well.

0:02:39 > 0:02:44- You choose. Do you want the first or the second set of questions? - I'll go first, please.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50The first question to you, Chris.

0:02:50 > 0:02:56What was the first name of the character played by Richard Briers in the TV sitcom, The Good Life?

0:02:58 > 0:03:05OK, um...Jerry, I believe, was the next-door neighbour.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08I don't remember a Sam.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12I'm almost sure it's Tom. I'll go Tom.

0:03:12 > 0:03:17You're sure now. It is Tom. Almost sure? Certain. Tom is correct.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19First question to you, Barry.

0:03:19 > 0:03:26In December 2008, which film musical became the biggest selling DVD of all time in the UK?

0:03:29 > 0:03:33I think that has to be the absolutely wonderful Mamma Mia!

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Are you a fan? - Absolutely. I love Abba.

0:03:36 > 0:03:41OK, Mamma Mia is the right answer. Well done there, Barry.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45Chris, what is the title of the 2011 film directed by Roland Emmerich

0:03:45 > 0:03:50which questions the authorship of the plays usually attributed to William Shakespeare?

0:03:55 > 0:04:01I think, having read the review of this in the paper,

0:04:01 > 0:04:04I think it's Anonymous.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Anonymous is the right answer, yes.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10I notice in the question we've joined the doubters.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14"Usually attributed", not "written by William Shakespeare".

0:04:14 > 0:04:18But there we go, Anonymous is the correct answer.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21Barry, what was the title of the 1970s TV drama serial,

0:04:21 > 0:04:26starring Roy Marsden as a spy chief in British Intelligence?

0:04:29 > 0:04:31I don't think it was The Kitbaggers.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35I'm pretty certain The Carpetbaggers was a film of that vintage,

0:04:35 > 0:04:37but it wasn't about spies,

0:04:37 > 0:04:40so I think it was The Sandbaggers.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44Yeah, Sandbaggers is correct. Well done, Barry.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Well, going well, both of you.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50Chris, this might win you the round if you give me a correct answer.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53The 1960s TV comedy sketch show Three Of A Kind

0:04:53 > 0:04:58teamed comic Ray Fell with singer Lulu and which impressionist?

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Hmm...

0:05:03 > 0:05:07I'm afraid I'm going to have to guess on this one. I really don't know.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10I'll go straight down the middle - Faith Brown?

0:05:10 > 0:05:14Faith Brown in Three Of A Kind, the '60s incarnation.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17It's not. It's Mike Yarwood.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20So, a chance for Barry.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Who directed the 2011 film The Beaver

0:05:23 > 0:05:27in which Mel Gibson stars as a man who communicates via a glove puppet?

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Well, I've heard of the film.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37I was half-expecting to see Harry H Corbett there!

0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Very good. - But I'm not sure who directed it.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43Somehow I don't think it was Ang... It could be Angelina Jolie.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Gosh, I really don't know this one.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52No, I think it was Angelina Jolie.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56- No, it wasn't.- Oh, fair enough then. - Other Eggheads, do you know?

0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Jodie Foster. - Jodie Foster. Jodie Foster.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01OK, all square. Good news, Chris.

0:06:01 > 0:06:06Barry missed out on his opportunity there. We go to Sudden Death, Chris,

0:06:06 > 0:06:11removing the options you've seen so far. The answers just have to come from you.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Your question - which English actor played the title role

0:06:14 > 0:06:18in the 1978 historical TV drama series Disraeli?

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Disraeli...

0:06:23 > 0:06:25I really don't know. Um...

0:06:25 > 0:06:28I'll take a guess at...

0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Derek Jacobi?- Derek Jacobi...

0:06:31 > 0:06:33It should have been, but not.

0:06:33 > 0:06:38Good casting there, Chris. I could see that, but no, not Derek Jacobi. Anyone know this one?

0:06:38 > 0:06:43- Ian McShane.- Ian McShane. Kevin knew it. Ian McShane.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Well, it means a chance for Barry.

0:06:45 > 0:06:53Barry, which actress played Lara in ITV's 2002 adaptation of Doctor Zhivago?

0:06:53 > 0:06:56I've got half a suspicion it was Keira Knightley.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00- Is that your answer? - That's my answer.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03It is a correct answer, Barry. Well remembered.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Lara played by Keira Knightley.

0:07:06 > 0:07:11Good quizzing, Chris, but not enough to beat Barry. Would you both come back and join your teams?

0:07:13 > 0:07:18Well, unlucky there for Lightning Can Strike Twice, Chris just failing to get through.

0:07:18 > 0:07:24They've lost one brain. The Eggheads are all there. We've only played one round. Let's play another one.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28This is History. I bet there's quite a few of you there who like this.

0:07:28 > 0:07:34- Who's going to play? - Do you want to go for it, Ben? - Yeah.- I wouldn't pick Judith.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37LISA: It's up to you, but not Judith.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41- Kevin or...?- Go Kevin.- Kevin? - Definitely, yeah.- Kevin.

0:07:41 > 0:07:47- Deciding not to pick Judith, aiming for Kevin. You've told him how beatable he is.- He is, very!

0:07:47 > 0:07:51Let's have Ben and Kevin into the question room, please.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56Come on then, Ben. Let's see if you can do it. Do you want to go first or second?

0:07:56 > 0:07:59I'll go first, get it out the way.

0:08:01 > 0:08:08Good luck, Ben. What name was given to the part of a medieval castle which protected a drawbridge?

0:08:11 > 0:08:15Hmm... I don't actually know.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19I'm going to have to guess with "bassinet".

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Protecting the drawbridge...

0:08:21 > 0:08:24is the barbican.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27The barbican.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31Probably not the best of starts, Ben, but let's see how Kevin does.

0:08:31 > 0:08:36Kevin, in which part of the British Empire were the princely states governed by local rulers?

0:08:38 > 0:08:43India was a patchwork of all kinds of jurisdictions

0:08:43 > 0:08:46and among them were the princely states ruled by Maharajahs

0:08:46 > 0:08:48and Rajahs and various others.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- It was India.- It is India. It's the right answer.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Right, let's get you moving here, Ben.

0:08:54 > 0:09:01In the late 19th century, Sir Edward Henry devised a system for the classification of what?

0:09:04 > 0:09:05Oh...

0:09:06 > 0:09:09I don't think it's vitamins.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14I'll have to guess again and say "fingerprints".

0:09:14 > 0:09:18That's good. It's the right answer. Well done, Ben.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21Off the mark. Got to make Kevin do some work.

0:09:21 > 0:09:29Kevin, which monk later made a saint was elected Bishop of Lindisfarne in around 684 AD?

0:09:32 > 0:09:36And later on, they had to... He was buried there.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Later on, they had to move his bones

0:09:38 > 0:09:41and take them to Durham, eventually, because of Viking raids.

0:09:41 > 0:09:46- It's St Cuthbert. - Cuthbert is the right answer, Kevin.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49You have two and Ben needs this to get to two.

0:09:49 > 0:09:54Ben, which sect was founded when John Reeve, a tailor, and his cousin

0:09:54 > 0:09:59announced they were prophets mentioned in the Book of Revelation?

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Something is drawing me to Muggletonians.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07I don't know why.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11- I'll go with Muggletonians. - Muggletonians...

0:10:11 > 0:10:13It's the right answer. Well done.

0:10:13 > 0:10:18Well, Muggletonians, a lot of our younger viewers will be going,

0:10:18 > 0:10:21"JK Rowling, is that where she got it from?"

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Maybe that rang a bell with Ben.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Had to get her ideas from somewhere. - The Muggles.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29OK, well, Ben really revving up there,

0:10:29 > 0:10:33but Kevin has an opportunity here to win the round.

0:10:33 > 0:10:39What type of establishment was the Lazaretto, set up on an island near Venice in the 15th century?

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Yeah, I think it's still possible to land there.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50But "lazar" was occasionally a name for "leper"

0:10:50 > 0:10:52and it's a quarantine station.

0:10:52 > 0:10:57Quarantine station is correct, Kevin. You have taken the round.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Ben, getting the first one wrong

0:10:59 > 0:11:04was the worst thing you could have done, but did really well after that.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08We don't know what would have happened if you had matched him into Sudden Death.

0:11:08 > 0:11:14Ben, you won't be in the final round. Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:11:14 > 0:11:18Lightning has not struck for you yet, Lightning Can Strike Twice.

0:11:18 > 0:11:25The Eggheads are all there, you've lost two brains. We move on to our third head-to-head, on Geography.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28So who fancies a go at this? Geography.

0:11:28 > 0:11:33- WHISPERING Me?- I think so, yes. - Right, it's going to be me then.

0:11:33 > 0:11:38Who do you want to play from the Eggheads? It can be Pat, Judith or Chris.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40SHE LAUGHS

0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Who do you want?- Judith? - Can I go against Dermot?

0:11:43 > 0:11:46- HE LAUGHS - I'll give you the round!

0:11:46 > 0:11:50- Chris?- If you want to go for... Yeah, go for that.- Can I go for Chris?

0:11:50 > 0:11:54Of course you can. It's Lisa from Lightning Can Strike Twice

0:11:54 > 0:11:58and Chris from the Eggheads playing this round.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Could you take your positions in the question room?

0:12:02 > 0:12:08Lisa, you've travelled a fair bit. Let's hope you find some locations you've visited in these questions.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12- Do you want the first or second set? - I'll go first, please, Dermot.

0:12:15 > 0:12:21The first one coming right up for you, Lisa. Valladolid is a city in which European country?

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Oh, gosh, um... I've no idea.

0:12:26 > 0:12:32I don't think it's Spain because I've never heard of it, so...

0:12:34 > 0:12:37I'll go with Croatia, please.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41OK, Croatia for Valladolid... Chris, is it?

0:12:41 > 0:12:43- No, it's in Spain. - Oh, no!

0:12:43 > 0:12:47Wasn't there a battle there in the Peninsular War?

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Yeah, I think so. Is this from watching Sharpe?

0:12:50 > 0:12:53Yeah, I like Sharpe with Sean Bean.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57Well, nothing there for Lisa and your first question, Chris.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01Mount Robson is the highest point in which mountains?

0:13:04 > 0:13:07It's not the Cairngorms because they're in Scotland.

0:13:07 > 0:13:11The Caucasus, the highest point is Mount Elbrus,

0:13:11 > 0:13:13so it's got to be the Canadian Rockies.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16You've got the right answer, Canadian Rockies.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18OK, Lisa, second one for you.

0:13:18 > 0:13:25South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands is an overseas territory of which country?

0:13:28 > 0:13:32Again I have absolutely no idea of this one either.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37So because it sounds American, I'll go with the USA.

0:13:37 > 0:13:42OK, the USA for South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands...

0:13:42 > 0:13:44- It's the United Kingdom.- Oh, no!

0:13:44 > 0:13:47- SHE LAUGHS - Don't worry.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Didn't South Georgia feature in the Falklands campaign?- Yes.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53Some Argentine scrap dealers descended uninvited

0:13:53 > 0:13:58to break up some old hulks lying there and set up an Argentine flag.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01- That started it really?- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04You win the round if you give me a correct answer here.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08The Wolf Rock Lighthouse is off the coast of which county?

0:14:10 > 0:14:14Wolf Rock is in the Channel, so it's off the coast of Cornwall.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16OK...

0:14:16 > 0:14:19Yeah, it is. I'm just thinking of the Channel.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22I'm not sure you call that the Channel.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24It's the Atlantic Ocean down there.

0:14:24 > 0:14:28When you said the Channel, I thought you'd go for Kent!

0:14:28 > 0:14:31- The Channel is between Kent and Cornwall.- I suppose.

0:14:31 > 0:14:35- It depends where you draw the line. - Yeah.- Cornwall is the right answer.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Which means, Lisa,

0:14:37 > 0:14:39I'm afraid it's over, the ordeal.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42I would have got the third one right!

0:14:42 > 0:14:47I'm looking at it now. You would have got it. You won't be in the final round.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50Would you both come back and join your teams?

0:14:50 > 0:14:54It still hasn't struck, Lightning Can Strike Twice.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57You've lost three brains. The Eggheads have lost none.

0:14:57 > 0:15:02Your last chance to knock an Egghead out, Michael or Nige waiting to play Food & Drink.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05- GROANS - Food & Drink.- Desperate.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07- I can't believe that. - Nige?- It's going to have to be.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Judith?- Yeah.- It'll be me, Dermot.

0:15:10 > 0:15:14- And you've got Judith or Pat there. - Judith.- Judith, OK.

0:15:14 > 0:15:19Let's have Nige and Judith from the Eggheads into the question room.

0:15:20 > 0:15:24Right, Nige, I've got a good feeling about this for you.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please, Dermot.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31OK, Nige.

0:15:31 > 0:15:37The first question on Food & Drink. Knocking back is an essential element in making what?

0:15:39 > 0:15:42I wouldn't have thought it was mayonnaise

0:15:42 > 0:15:47and I wouldn't have thought it was risotto. It sounds a bit too exotic.

0:15:47 > 0:15:52It sounds like something to do with bread, so I'll go for bread, Dermot.

0:15:52 > 0:15:57Bread is right. Well done, Nigel. Or Nige, sorry.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59- You are Nigel, are you?- I am.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02- OK.- That's my Sunday name.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04- DERMOT LAUGHS - Right.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Bread is correct, anyway.

0:16:06 > 0:16:12Judith, your first question. Spanakopita is a savoury pastry from which country's cuisine?

0:16:15 > 0:16:21S-P-A-N-A-K-O-P-I-T-A.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Is it, um...? Does it...?

0:16:25 > 0:16:30Can you spell it? I'm really sorry, Dermot. Can you spell it again?

0:16:30 > 0:16:37S-P-A-N-A-K-O-P-I-T-A.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39Right. Greece.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42Is the right answer.

0:16:42 > 0:16:46And, Nige, your second question.

0:16:46 > 0:16:52A King's Peg cocktail is a mixture of brandy and which other alcoholic drink?

0:16:54 > 0:16:56I'm not sure about this one,

0:16:56 > 0:16:59but the question said "King's"...

0:17:00 > 0:17:03I'm ruling out whisky...

0:17:03 > 0:17:07and champagne and I'm going to say "port".

0:17:07 > 0:17:10It's champagne, so nothing there.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Judith, a chance for the lead.

0:17:12 > 0:17:16Which character from the Blondie cartoon strip gave his name

0:17:16 > 0:17:19to a type of multi-layered sandwich of meats and cheese?

0:17:21 > 0:17:25Well, that's having to know about the Blondie cartoon, isn't it?

0:17:25 > 0:17:30I don't know. Oh, dear. It's either Doaksie or Dagwood.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34I mean, sorry, it's either Dilbert or Dagwood.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Um... I don't know. Dagwood.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41You should see the other Eggheads' faces. It's the right answer.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44I thought they were banging their heads on the table!

0:17:44 > 0:17:47It's one or the other, isn't it?

0:17:47 > 0:17:50No, joyous celebrations there for Dagwood.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52It means you need to get this, Nige.

0:17:52 > 0:17:59The chicks of which sea bird are eaten as guga, a traditional food on the Isle of Lewis?

0:18:01 > 0:18:05Again I don't know, but I wouldn't have thought it was "puffin"

0:18:05 > 0:18:08because I think that's Lundy.

0:18:08 > 0:18:12And I'll say... I'll plump for "gannet".

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Good plump. It's the right answer.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Guga from the chicks of the gannet.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21OK, but Judith still with the whip hand here.

0:18:21 > 0:18:27Judith, a "religieuse", a cake named because of its supposed resemblance to a nun,

0:18:27 > 0:18:30is made using what type of pastry?

0:18:32 > 0:18:36Do you mean it's black and white or why does it look like a nun?

0:18:36 > 0:18:41Is it...? What could be nun-like about any of those things?

0:18:43 > 0:18:49I've no idea. I think it's going to be..."choux".

0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Is the right answer.- Really? - You've landed it.

0:18:52 > 0:18:57Choux pastry is the right answer, so we have to tell you to "shoo", Nige.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:19:01 > 0:19:07So this is what we've been playing towards. It's time for the final round which is General Knowledge.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10But those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:19:10 > 0:19:16won't be allowed to take part, so, Ben, Lisa, Chris and Nige from Lightning Can Strike Twice,

0:19:16 > 0:19:19would you all leave the studio, please?

0:19:19 > 0:19:24So, Michael, you're playing to win Lightning Can Strike Twice £6,000.

0:19:24 > 0:19:30Chris, Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin, you're playing for something which money cannot buy - your reputation.

0:19:30 > 0:19:36As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn. This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.

0:19:36 > 0:19:42You're allowed to confer. Michael, the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?

0:19:42 > 0:19:46- Michael, do you want to go first or second?- First, please.

0:19:47 > 0:19:51The final round starts now with the first question to Michael.

0:19:51 > 0:19:56In which field did Polly Toynbee become a distinguished name?

0:19:58 > 0:20:01I've heard the name in the past.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03I'm quite keen on sport

0:20:03 > 0:20:06and I've never heard her name associated with any sports.

0:20:06 > 0:20:10I don't think she has anything to do with fashion.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13- I will go with journalism. - It's the right answer.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16Polly Toynbee, writing for The Guardian and appearing

0:20:16 > 0:20:20on many TV programmes as well. Your first question, Eggheads.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23The code that says you should treat others

0:20:23 > 0:20:26as you would like to be treated yourself is known by what name?

0:20:30 > 0:20:35- Golden Rule?- It's got to be the Golden Rule.- That's the Golden Rule.

0:20:35 > 0:20:39It is the Golden Rule which you all stick to, I know, Eggheads.

0:20:39 > 0:20:44It's the right answer. One each. And Michael, second question.

0:20:44 > 0:20:49Omigod You Guys, The Harvard Variations and Take It Like A Man

0:20:49 > 0:20:55are songs from which musical that officially opened in the West End in 2010?

0:20:58 > 0:21:02I think Wicked opened a long time before 2010.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Out of the other two,

0:21:06 > 0:21:09I think they're both more recent,

0:21:09 > 0:21:12but they sound more like they'd be from Legally Blonde,

0:21:12 > 0:21:15- so I'll go for Legally Blonde. - OK, Legally Blonde.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18Omigod You Guys... It's got to be, hasn't it?

0:21:18 > 0:21:22It's the right answer. Yes, Legally Blonde.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27Eggheads, second question. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese,

0:21:27 > 0:21:33a pub frequented by Dickens, Conan Doyle and Tennyson, is situated on which street in the city of London?

0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Fleet Street. - That's Fleet Street, Dermot.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43- Any of you ever been there?- Yes. - Yeah.- All of you.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46Fleet Street is the right answer.

0:21:46 > 0:21:482-2. Anything can happen then.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Michael, good luck with this.

0:21:50 > 0:21:57Which car manufacturing company was founded in 1909 in Molsheim, Alsace?

0:21:59 > 0:22:04Well, Alsace, I think it's in France,

0:22:04 > 0:22:09and I would associate Lamborghini and Maserati with Italy.

0:22:10 > 0:22:15So I think that just leaves Bugatti left, so I'll go for Bugatti.

0:22:15 > 0:22:19Elimination technique giving you the right answer - Bugatti.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22Eggheads, you must get this right or you lose.

0:22:22 > 0:22:27In grammar, what name is given to a verb when it is used as a noun?

0:22:31 > 0:22:33- Gerund?- I think it's a gerund.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Yeah?- Yeah.- Say it.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39We think that's a gerund.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42It's the right answer. We're into Sudden Death.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45Just to remind you, Michael,

0:22:45 > 0:22:49we don't offer you any more choices. Just got to hear an answer from you.

0:22:49 > 0:22:54What is the star sign of someone born on the 1st of March?

0:23:01 > 0:23:05I'm just trying to work out when the star signs start.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09They start on the 22nd of the month, so...

0:23:11 > 0:23:16I'm trying to think which one starts on March the 22nd, so it's the one before that.

0:23:19 > 0:23:24I know Capricorn goes from December the 22nd to January the 22nd.

0:23:24 > 0:23:28I think Aquarius follows that, so that goes to...

0:23:29 > 0:23:31That'll go to February the 22nd.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35So that'll be Pisces after that, I think.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37So I'll go for Pisces.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39Pisces...

0:23:39 > 0:23:42Well worked out. It's the right answer. Well done.

0:23:42 > 0:23:46OK, Pisces, knowing your star signs there. Well, Eggheads,

0:23:46 > 0:23:49again you've got to get this.

0:23:49 > 0:23:55In 2004, Victoria Derbyshire began presenting her weekday show on which radio station?

0:23:55 > 0:23:58Well, she's interviewed me on Radio 5.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Has she?- Yeah.

0:24:00 > 0:24:05It could have been something else back then, but that's all I've...

0:24:05 > 0:24:09- Radio 5 Live?- Well, that's what it was when I...- OK.

0:24:09 > 0:24:13But I don't guarantee that that's the right...

0:24:13 > 0:24:16- None of us know anything else. - It was 2004, 2005.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19It's the only thing we've got and you've had experience of it.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22We're going with Radio 5 Live.

0:24:22 > 0:24:27Kevin, you've been interviewed by her on 5 Live. Why the hesitation? It's the right answer.

0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Just in case she'd been somewhere else beforehand.- 5 Live.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33You got it. Back to you, Michael.

0:24:33 > 0:24:38Which hotel on the Las Vegas Strip features a pyramid

0:24:38 > 0:24:42and a recreation of the Great Sphinx of Giza?

0:24:42 > 0:24:46That's a straightforward one for me because I've been in it. The Luxor.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49It is the Luxor. Well done, been there. Fantastic.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51OK, Eggheads, well...

0:24:51 > 0:24:57In 2011, which Italian football club sacked Gian Piero Gasperini as their manager

0:24:57 > 0:25:00after only five matches in charge?

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Inter Milan?

0:25:02 > 0:25:06He was a bit of a surprise choice to be made coach

0:25:06 > 0:25:09because he wasn't that... He wasn't a big name.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13- And they had an absolutely disastrous start to the season.- OK.

0:25:13 > 0:25:19- And what's the proper way of saying it?- Inter Milan. Or Internazionale.

0:25:20 > 0:25:24It's Internazionale, also known sometimes as Inter Milan.

0:25:24 > 0:25:28Known sometimes, is it, as Inter Milan(?)

0:25:28 > 0:25:31Yes, it's the right answer. You've got it.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33Inter Milan. Right, on we go.

0:25:33 > 0:25:38Michael, in which modern-day country is the birthplace of Joseph Stalin?

0:25:38 > 0:25:42In which modern-day country is the birthplace of Joseph Stalin?

0:25:43 > 0:25:45Um...

0:25:46 > 0:25:51I think it's one of the smaller of the ex-Soviet republics,

0:25:51 > 0:25:56so that's got to rule out probably Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

0:25:57 > 0:26:01I think I associate him with Georgia, so I'll go for Georgia.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Georgia is correct, Michael.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08Well, Eggheads, you are up against something here.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10You need to get this question right.

0:26:10 > 0:26:17Good Times and Green Light were UK number one singles for which group in 2010?

0:26:17 > 0:26:24Good Times and Green Light were UK number one singles for which group in 2010?

0:26:28 > 0:26:34- Noah And The Whale?- I can't bring it to mind, unfortunately. Any thoughts? - Mumford & Sons?- ..No, I haven't.

0:26:35 > 0:26:39I should know these, but it's slipped away.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43I have nothing on this.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45KEVIN: This is... I don't...

0:26:45 > 0:26:49This is purely on the basis that we've got to go for something.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54I'd guess at JLS,

0:26:54 > 0:26:56- but I...- JLS?

0:26:56 > 0:27:03You know, from the back end of 2009 or thereabouts, they had two or three number ones.

0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Does it sound like one of their titles? - Quite possibly, but you know...

0:27:07 > 0:27:12- Your instincts are good.- I know I've heard the title Good Times,

0:27:12 > 0:27:19but I've not looked at this sort of thing sufficiently recently to remember it all. It's a pure guess.

0:27:19 > 0:27:23- That's all I can suggest. I have no idea.- Black Eyed Peas?

0:27:23 > 0:27:27We're going with JLS, Dermot, with not a great deal of hope.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29OK, JLS, not a great deal of hope.

0:27:29 > 0:27:33Good Times and Green Light were UK number one singles for...

0:27:33 > 0:27:37Roll Deep, which means, Michael, you've won!

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Not JLS, but Roll Deep.

0:27:44 > 0:27:48Michael, it didn't really matter what happened in the head-to-heads.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51With someone like you there, lightning has struck twice,

0:27:51 > 0:27:57and you've taken out not just Kevin and Pat as you did before, but the entire might of the Eggheads.

0:27:57 > 0:28:01- Was that a trick?- Yeah, lulled them into a sense of security.

0:28:01 > 0:28:07You told your mates, "Lose because I want to show how good I am against the Eggheads." You dismembered them.

0:28:07 > 0:28:10You took them apart. £6,000 you've won,

0:28:10 > 0:28:15but that has only been done, beating the Eggheads on your own, eight times before,

0:28:15 > 0:28:18so you join a very select band there, Michael.

0:28:18 > 0:28:24Congratulations to you and to the other members of the team who tried so valiantly against the Eggheads,

0:28:24 > 0:28:30but their efforts and failures only serve to prove how good a quizzer you are, taking on the five Eggheads

0:28:30 > 0:28:33and beating them on your own.

0:28:33 > 0:28:38Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of challengers will be just as successful.

0:28:38 > 0:28:40Until then, goodbye.
