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.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Taking on our awesome quiz Goliaths today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are the Blank Cheques from London. This team of friends work
0:00:38 > 0:00:44within the same bank in Canary Wharf and have in the past won a large charity quiz. Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I'm Gavin, I'm 29 and I'm a bank manager.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Dino, I'm 41 and I'm a bank director.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Tom, I'm 27 and I'm a project manager.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Alex, I'm 26 and a bank associate.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Tom, I'm 30 and I'm a lawyer.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Welcome to you, Blank Cheques. Tell me about the large charity quiz.
0:01:04 > 0:01:10It wasn't that large. It was just a quiz in Canary Wharf that we entered and we did quite well.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15- That's prompted us to apply for this.- "Did quite well." You won it?- We did.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- And all of you were on the team? - Indeed we were.- Yeah.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23- Any others or just you five? - Eight in total. It was a bit of a collective.
0:01:23 > 0:01:29- What kind of quiz was it? General knowledge?- A complete mixed bag, yeah, very general.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Your rivals today are the Eggheads.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Talking of blank cheques, I'll tell you about the cheque on offer today.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Every day, there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49Blank Cheques, the challengers won last time out, proving it can be done.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53That means then £1,000 says you cannot beat the Eggheads today.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Let's play our first round then. It's Music.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Any one of you can start.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03- Tom?- We said it was going to be me? - Yeah.- I'll take that, Dermot.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05OK, and Tom, choose your Egghead.
0:02:05 > 0:02:11- Judith or Kevin?- Kevin, I think. - Shall we try and take Kevin out? - Go on.- We'll go with Kevin.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- "Try and take Kevin out!" - LAUGHTER - Go for the jugular!
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Tom and Kevin then, into the question room.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21That's to make sure you cannot confer with your team-mates.
0:02:22 > 0:02:28- Tom, you get to choose. It's Music. Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36What is the term for the temporary shifting of accent in a piece of music,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39so the strong beats become weak and vice-versa?
0:02:43 > 0:02:47OK, my brother's a professional musician,
0:02:47 > 0:02:51so he'll be particularly angry if I don't get this.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55I don't think it's transcription.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I'm leaning towards syncopation.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04I'm going to go with that gut feeling and go with syncopation.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09Syncopation... Your brother's very happy. It's right. Well done.
0:03:11 > 0:03:17Kevin, which U2 album first featured the hit single, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- No, just don't know.- Oh!
0:03:24 > 0:03:28So, a one-in-three guess, actually.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34I'll try The Unforgettable Fire. It's a complete one-in-three guess.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37The Unforgettable Fire, you won't forget this now
0:03:37 > 0:03:40because it's not right, and CJ looking pained.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- It's The Joshua Tree. - It's The Joshua Tree
0:03:43 > 0:03:46with I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. You have, Tom,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49which is a mistake from Kevin on the first question.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Can you go further into the lead here?
0:03:52 > 0:03:59Mel B from The Spice Girls released her solo single Word Up in 1999 under what name?
0:04:02 > 0:04:07I think this was based on her marriage.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Obviously, one letter to choose between the three.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13My inclination is towards Melanie G.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18I do remember the song coming out. I'm going to go with Melanie G.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Interesting, you bankers having a detailed knowledge
0:04:21 > 0:04:25of the former Spice Girls and their marriages.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29It's the right answer - Melanie G. G for...?
0:04:29 > 0:04:33You're right about where the G came from. G for...do you know?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Her then husband's surname? - I can't remember.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- Gulzar. G-U-L... Was it Jimmy Gulzar?- Sure.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43OK, well, well done there.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47You have a 2-0 lead and go straight into the final round if Kevin doesn't get this.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52What was the name of the evil snake on the Captain Beaky records?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I don't know if the other two existed.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02The only one I've heard of is Hissing Sid, so we'll go for that.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05It makes you giggle, that question. It is correct.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Captain Beaky.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10All sorts in these questions.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14They really range around. You've still got work to do, Tom.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18What was the title of the first UK number single for Jennifer Lopez?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25I think Love Don't Cost A Thing was more recent,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27so I don't think that's right.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I would go with, "Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got,"
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- Jenny From The Block. - OK, I was looking for that.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- I'm giving the lyrics. - Very good, Jenny From The Block.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44You know your J-Lo, but not when they were released.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- It is Love Don't Cost A Thing.- OK.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51So you had Kevin. He looked down and out. You were 2-0 in the lead.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53And is he going to come back? We'll see.
0:05:53 > 0:06:01Which composer wrote the opera La Finta Giardiniera or The Pretend Garden-Girl,
0:06:01 > 0:06:03first produced in 1775?
0:06:05 > 0:06:12Well, the only one who was actually alive in 1775 was Mozart
0:06:12 > 0:06:15and it is Mozart, anyway.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- So got it twice really there?- Yeah.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19That's the man who knows his dates
0:06:19 > 0:06:22as you may have seen on many editions of Eggheads.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26We test Kevin out on the dates, so he's been able to do that
0:06:26 > 0:06:30by pointing out that none of the other two were alive at the time.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34It is Mozart and it's game on again.
0:06:34 > 0:06:40It's like we're starting from afresh because we go to Sudden Death after three questions if it's all square.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43I know you know the rules, but just to remind everybody,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46we remove the options you've seen.
0:06:46 > 0:06:52The song I Could Write A Book by Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers was written for which musical?
0:06:52 > 0:06:58If there was one area I'd lean towards as my weakest area of music, it would be musicals, sadly.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I Could Write A Book...
0:07:01 > 0:07:06Wild stab in the dark, I will go with, as I passed by the sign recently, Priscilla.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Priscilla, oh, yeah, Queen Of The Desert.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11No, it's not, though.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15It's tough. I wonder if you can get this, Kevin, just out of interest?
0:07:15 > 0:07:21- I really don't know it, but I'll try Pal Joey.- Pal Joey is the answer. Pal Joey, Tom.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24So, not really any the wiser after hearing that, are you?
0:07:24 > 0:07:30- No.- Some comfort to you, anyway. You've got to sit this one out and hope Kevin doesn't get it.
0:07:30 > 0:07:36What is the term for a piece of music composed in the style of the boating songs of Venetian gondoliers
0:07:36 > 0:07:39such as in Offenbach's Tales Of Hoffmann?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41That's barcarole.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Barcarole...is the right answer, Kevin.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46You've made it through.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Oh, dear, Tom. How did that happen?
0:07:49 > 0:07:54I don't know. It unravelled very quickly. My Jennifer Lopez knowledge wasn't up to scratch.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59That would have got you through. It just unravelled, as you said there.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03A great round there, Tom, but you won't be taking part in the final round.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Well, a Houdini-like escape for Kevin there means
0:08:10 > 0:08:16that the Blank Cheques are missing one brain from the final round, the Eggheads are all there.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18The second round coming up and it's Science.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Who would like to play Science?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- I think we said it was you, Gav. - Yeah, yeah.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- I think we said you. - I'll take Science, Dermot.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31OK, Gavin. Take an Egghead, not Kevin, but any of the other four.
0:08:31 > 0:08:38- What do you think?- Judith? - Judith might be weaker at Science? - I've no idea.- It's all relative.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Pat maybe? I don't know.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- I don't mind.- Go Pat. - I'll take Pat, please.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Pat? OK. Judith there..."Phew!"
0:08:47 > 0:08:49LAUGHTER
0:08:49 > 0:08:55I'm doing the "phew" for you. Let's have Gavin and Pat then into the question room, please.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01Gavin, you saw how it works, apart from the end bit, of course, from your point of view.
0:09:01 > 0:09:08- You don't want it to work like that. Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Gavin, best of luck with Science. Your first question is this.
0:09:14 > 0:09:21Bacteraemia is the scientific term for the presence of bacteria in what specifically?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26HE SIGHS
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I have to say I have absolutely no idea,
0:09:30 > 0:09:34so it will be a stab in the dark, Dermot. Um...
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I'm tempted away from "eye",
0:09:36 > 0:09:39so I think I'm going to go for...
0:09:39 > 0:09:42um..."bloodstream".
0:09:42 > 0:09:47OK, bacteria in the bloodstream is the right answer. Well done.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49That's the start you wanted.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Pat, what is the amount of heat required
0:09:52 > 0:09:56to convert a liquid into gas at constant temperature and pressure?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03It's changing from a liquid to a gas,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05so I don't think compression is relevant.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08And there's no burning going on.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12I think it's just a change of state, so it's heat of vaporisation.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17Heat of vaporisation is the right answer from Pat. Back to you, Gavin.
0:10:17 > 0:10:23A dibasic acid is one in which each molecule contains two replaceable atoms of which element?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Again I'm not sure.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Dibasic?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39I think I'm going to go with "hydrogen". Again it's a guess.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41OK, a guess again and right again!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Get in!
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Just keep guessing. I wouldn't bother with knowing any of them!
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Pat, what colour are the legs and the bill of the chough, a bird found
0:10:53 > 0:10:57on the western coasts of Scotland, Ireland and Wales?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Ah, he's a crow.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06And I think he's got a distinctive pinky-red beak.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Can I have the question again, please?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11What colour are the legs and bill of the chough,
0:11:11 > 0:11:15a bird found on the west coasts of Scotland, Ireland and Wales?
0:11:15 > 0:11:16I'll go for "red".
0:11:16 > 0:11:21The red bill and legs of the chough...is right.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Both going tremendously well.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Two-all, and back to Gavin.
0:11:25 > 0:11:32Often known as runners, what name is given to the horizontal stems that grow along the ground from a plant,
0:11:32 > 0:11:37such as the strawberry, and produce new plants at their tips?
0:11:40 > 0:11:44I'm starting to wonder why I took this subject!
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Have another guess! Why not?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50It's a toughie. I'm lucky I've only got three to choose from.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I'd like to say there's some method in the madness,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55but it's a guess again.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I'll go for the middle one - stolons, please.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Eggheads, if Daphne ever doesn't want to play any more...
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- It's brilliant. - ..with her accuracy at guessing...
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Well done, Gavin. It's the right answer.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Three guesses out of three.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18I'm sure slightly informed. I'm not sure you took us through all the thinking.
0:12:18 > 0:12:24Maybe you ruled out the odd option. You're in a commanding position. Pat needs to get this.
0:12:24 > 0:12:30The ailerons on an aeroplane's wing are designed to mainly control the aircraft in which type of movement?
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Well, I presume "roll" is rocking from side to side.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42"Pitch" is the angle of the fuselage,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45whether it's pointing up into the sky or down to the ground.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I'm not entirely sure what "yaw" is.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53I'm not entirely sure whether ailerons are the same as flaps.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I'm going to assume that they're used
0:12:55 > 0:12:58to control the angle of attack
0:12:58 > 0:13:01of the main fuselage of the plane, the pitch.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04But this could easily be wrong. I'll go for "pitch".
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Pitch, the angle of attack...
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Gavin's angle of attack has been perfect. It's the wrong answer.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13It is to control the roll. The roll.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16You're out of the game, Pat,
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- which means, Gavin... - Well played!
0:13:20 > 0:13:25What a performance! Keep that up in the final round, the Eggheads will be very worried. You'll play in it.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:13:29 > 0:13:35As it stands, that's better for the Blank Cheques. One brain missing from each team in the final round.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38And our third subject today is Politics.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Who would like to play this?
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Gavin and Tom E have played, so the other Tom, Dino or Alex.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- I think we said Alex was the man. - I think I am.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- You're the man. - I'm going to play, Dermot.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Which Egghead do you want to play? Kevin and Pat have played, so you have CJ, Judith or Barry.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Judith.- I'll go for Judith.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03OK, let's have Alex and Judith into the question room, please.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Which way is it going to go for Alex?
0:14:06 > 0:14:11- Do you want the first or second set of questions?- I'll go first, please.
0:14:14 > 0:14:21Alex, when a UK General Election is called, what is the official term for the dispersal of Parliament?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I'll go for a dissolution.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30A dissolution is the right answer, of course.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32And a good start again.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37Judith, for what does the letter B stand in the economic abbreviation PSBR?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Public... I think it's Borrowing.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45It is. Do you know what it all stands for?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Public something Borrowing...
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- Something. Public Sector Borrowing Requirement.- That's right.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Much talked about these days. All square. Second question for Alex.
0:14:56 > 0:15:02Who became Prime Minister of the Netherlands following the Dutch General Election of June 2010?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I bet you stayed up all night to watch the results!
0:15:10 > 0:15:12No, I didn't actually.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15I'm not that much of a fan of Dutch politics.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I don't think it's the middle one.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23So that leaves the other two.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I don't think it's the middle one.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I'm going to go for Mark Rutte.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32OK, that one. Mark Rutte is the right answer.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34You have the luck of Gavin in there.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39Let's hope it doesn't run out before you get to the end of this round.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44Judith, the Family Allowances Act which provided an allowance for each child in a family,
0:15:44 > 0:15:48apart from the eldest, was passed in the UK in which decade?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Well, I'm sure it wasn't the '80s.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00I think it's much more likely to be the '40s than any other time,
0:16:00 > 0:16:04along with the National Health and all the rest of it.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Yeah, I think I'll go for the '40s.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Yeah, one of the building blocks of the Welfare State. You have it.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Two-all and back to Alex.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17According to its 2010 financial statements,
0:16:17 > 0:16:23which UK political party had 193,961 individual members?
0:16:25 > 0:16:29I think it will either be Labour or Conservative.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Do you know, I'll go for...
0:16:32 > 0:16:35I'll go for Labour.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39It's the right answer - the Labour Party.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44- Got the luck!- Labour, well done. So it's staying with this team.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49What can you do to shake 'em off, Eggheads? You've got to get this to start with, Judith.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53What is the name of the main legislative body of the Maldives?
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Well, I hope I've got the luck of the bankers in this case
0:17:01 > 0:17:03because I've no idea!
0:17:05 > 0:17:08I think...
0:17:08 > 0:17:12I have a feeling they're Muslim, aren't they, the Maldives?
0:17:13 > 0:17:18And Majlis sounds vaguely sort of Araby, Muslimy,
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- so I'm going to say Majlis. - OK...- Yeah.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- You're saying it very nicely too and it is the right answer.- Wow!
0:17:25 > 0:17:29You deserve that after the string of guesses from the Blank Cheques.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31We go to Sudden Death again.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36Alex, if you need to guess, which I hope you don't, it's harder because there are no choices.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41Who was Margaret Thatcher's longest serving Cabinet Minister?
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Who was Margaret Thatcher's longest serving Cabinet Minister?
0:17:46 > 0:17:51I think, and this is a little bit of a guess, but I think that's Michael Heseltine.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53No, no.
0:17:53 > 0:18:00No. Yes, of that era, of course. But had a famous falling-out with Margaret Thatcher.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- Judith?- Is it "everyone needs a Willie", Willie Whitelaw?
0:18:04 > 0:18:08No, no. That's a good one. He was around a long time. Other Eggheads?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- Douglas Hurd?- No.- Caused her so much damage when he resigned.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15- It was Howe, was it?- Geoffrey Howe. - He was there longer...? OK, OK.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Geoffrey Howe.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21OK, a chance then. First chance in the game for Judith.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25John F Kennedy squared up to which political rival on television
0:18:25 > 0:18:28in the so-called Great Debates of 1960?
0:18:28 > 0:18:34I think that was Nixon who was let down by his five o'clock shadow.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Richard. Do you want the Christian name?
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- So what's your answer? - Richard Nixon.- Richard Nixon...
0:18:42 > 0:18:46- No?- It's the right answer, Judith. Yes, you have taken the round.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49You matched one guess with another guess,
0:18:49 > 0:18:53although there were two guesses before that, so probably only fair.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Richard Nixon takes you through. Bad luck, good performance, Alex.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Both please come back and join your teams.
0:19:00 > 0:19:08A fantastic contest so far, but the Blank Cheques have lost two brains, the Eggheads have lost one.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Will it be all square? Let's find out now in our last Head To Head, Arts and Books.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- Dino or Tom?- Tom?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I think that's you.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21OK, Tom, who are you going to play? We've got Barry or CJ.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28- Em, I think Barry. - OK, it's going to be Tom and Barry playing this last Head To Head.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33It's Arts and Books. The Question Room beckons both of you, please.
0:19:33 > 0:19:39Some great rounds so far. Let's see what awaits. Tom, do you want to go first or second?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42I think I'll go first, please.
0:19:44 > 0:19:51Off we go, Tom. What is the title of author Robert Harris's 2011 thriller set in the world of hedge funds?
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Em...
0:19:55 > 0:19:58It's not The Ghost.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01That was, I think, a political thriller.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06I'm not sure whether it's Enigma or The Fear Index.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- But I'm going to go with... The Fear Index.- The Fear Index.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- Required reading, isn't it? In your world?- A cautionary tale.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22- A cautionary tale. The Fear Index is correct. Well done.- Thank you.
0:20:24 > 0:20:30And Barry, first question. 2011 was the centenary of the birth of which English playwright?
0:20:33 > 0:20:352011.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37That's 1911.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Hmm. Gosh.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42This one's kind of passed me by.
0:20:42 > 0:20:50Pinter died not so long ago and I'm sure he wasn't 100, so I will discount him on that basis.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- I think I'll go for Noel Coward. - Noel Coward, OK.
0:20:56 > 0:21:02There was, I remember, a great revival of his works to accompany this centenary.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- Eggheads, is it Noel Coward?- No.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09- It's Rattigan.- Terence Rattigan! Terence Rattigan, Barry.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11OK, this is great news for Tom.
0:21:11 > 0:21:18Best possible start. The American abstract impressionist painter Willem de Kooning was born
0:21:18 > 0:21:20in which city?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I have no idea.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27I'm hoping I'll have the luck of my teammates.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34- I'm going to say Amsterdam. - Amsterdam for the birth city
0:21:34 > 0:21:37of Willem de Kooning. It's not!
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Goodness me!
0:21:39 > 0:21:43- The luck's run out. - It's Rotterdam.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46So, well, you still might
0:21:46 > 0:21:48retain that lead if Barry fails.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Raku - R-A-K-U.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Raku is a type of what?
0:21:56 > 0:22:02I believe Raku is a type of Japanese earth-fired pottery, so it's earthenware.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Back to form. Don't stay down for long, those Eggheads.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09And Tom, third question.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14The Humours Of An Election is a series of four paintings by which artist?
0:22:18 > 0:22:24OK. I don't know this one either. I was hoping for more books and less art!
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Em, I...
0:22:27 > 0:22:32Again, it is an absolute guess, but I'm going to go with John Tenniel.
0:22:32 > 0:22:38- John Tenniel, in the middle. No! It really has deserted you now. - It has.- Barry?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- Hogarth?- Hogarth.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Barry, I suspect he didn't expect
0:22:43 > 0:22:47to be in this position, but he can take the round here.
0:22:47 > 0:22:53The artist Eugene Boudin is particularly famous for his beach scenes of which region of France?
0:22:57 > 0:23:01I'm not 100% certain on this, but I have seen some of his work.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04I seem to think it was in Normandy.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09OK, Normandy you think, for Boudin's beach scenes. It's the right answer.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14You're through to the final round. That's happened twice to you guys.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19You're not going to be there, Tom. Both please come back and join your teams.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24This is what we've been playing towards. Time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27But I'm afraid those of you who lost
0:23:27 > 0:23:32won't be allowed to take part, so Tom, Alex and the other Tom
0:23:32 > 0:23:36and Pat from the Eggheads, would you all leave the studio, please?
0:23:36 > 0:23:41So Gavin and Dino, you're playing to win the Blank Cheques £1,000.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46Barry, Judith, Kevin and CJ are playing for something money cannot buy - your damaged reputation.
0:23:46 > 0:23:53I'll ask each team three questions. This time they're all general knowledge and you can confer.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58Gavin and Dino, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:58 > 0:24:03- Blank Cheques, would you like to go first or second?- First? - First, Dermot.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08And good luck, Blank Cheques.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13First question. How many cardinal points are there on a compass?
0:24:16 > 0:24:22- I would have said four. - I'm not 100% sure. I'd have thought five or seven, but you think four.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27- Four...yeah. Let's go four. - You think it's four. OK.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Dermot, we'll go for four, please.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33OK, four. Four cardinal points on a compass.
0:24:33 > 0:24:40You flirted with five and seven, Gavin pulling you back to magnetic north, so to speak. It's right!
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- Four.- Well done.- They are as simple as north, south, east and west.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Yes, the cardinal points. And, Eggheads,
0:24:48 > 0:24:53sky diving is another name for which activity?
0:24:56 > 0:25:01- I've done all three! It's parachuting, yeah?- Yes.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I've done all three. Parachuting.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07- All at the same time?- Not yet, but it's an option if you're up for it.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10You go first.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Sky diving and parachuting. Yes, it's the right answer.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15OK, back to the Blank Cheques.
0:25:15 > 0:25:21In 2011, which country's football authorities decreed that only women and children under 12
0:25:21 > 0:25:27would be admitted to watch certain matches in an attempt to combat hooliganism?
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- I don't think it's Spain. - I don't think it's Spain.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39- So it's out of Greece and Turkey. - I think they've both had issues in the past with hooliganism.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45I was leaning towards Turkey, but I really don't know.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- I don't know, but I would lean towards Turkey.- Let's go Turkey.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- What do you think?- Yeah. Dermot, we're not 100% sure,
0:25:53 > 0:25:55but we'll go for Turkey.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00Turkey. With its... It must be quite a hooliganism problem.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05Only women and children under 12 watching certain matches in Turkey.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07It's the right answer!
0:26:07 > 0:26:12Gavin's revving up that guessing engine. Bit of instinct as well.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Two out of two.
0:26:15 > 0:26:21Eggheads, what is the full name of the official notices previously known as D Notices?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30It's Defence Advisory.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35We think those are Defence Advisory Notices, Dermot.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38It's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40You've got two as well.
0:26:40 > 0:26:46In which city are the M Night Shyamalan films
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Sixth Sense and Unbreakable set?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Sixth Sense and Unbreakable.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00- Which city are they set in? - I think it's Chicago.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04I think it is as well. I don't think it's Philadelphia.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Yeah, I've got a strong feeling it's Chicago.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Let's go with it. You know your films.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16We're reasonably sure we think it's Chicago, Dermot.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Chicago for the setting of Sixth Sense and Unbreakable
0:27:20 > 0:27:24by M Night Shyamalan. They're set in Philadelphia.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Philly.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- Not Chicago.- Sorry.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Well...
0:27:31 > 0:27:37A chance for the Eggheads here. Which Indian cricketer took all 10 wickets in one Test match innings
0:27:37 > 0:27:39against Pakistan in 1999?
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- It can't be Zaheer Khan. - It's Kumble.- Yeah, yeah.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Em, that's Anil Kumble.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh or Anil Kumble.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58All 10 wickets in an innings against Pakistan.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01It's Kumble. It's right. You've won.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13Well, bowled you out in the end, Blank Cheques, but stout resistance, especially from Gavin.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18No wonder you won that charity quiz with an assured sense...
0:28:18 > 0:28:24I'm not going to call it guessing. As the Eggheads will tell you, there's guessing, inklings,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27a lot in between not knowing and knowing.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally and reign supreme.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36You won't be going home with £1,000 and that means the money rolls over.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Eggheads, congratulations once again.
0:28:40 > 0:28:45Join us next time to see if a new team can defeat the Eggheads. £2,000 says they don't.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Until then, goodbye.
