0:00:04 > 0:00:10These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Question 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 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36And taking on our quiz champions today are The Crash Test Brummies.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39This team of friends regularly quiz together
0:00:39 > 0:00:41at their local pub, the Great Stone Inn in Birmingham.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48Hello, I'm Bob. I'm 67, and I'm a retired sales director.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53Hi, my name's Graham. I'm 67, and I'm a retired social worker.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Elaine. I'm 58, and I'm an information services manager.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Rob. I'm 53, and I'm a university lecturer.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Jon. I'm 61, and I'm a retired estates manager.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Welcome to you, Crash Test Brummies.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Is that the team name when you're in the pub quiz, as well?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16No, we usually go as The Full House, but we thought we'd get
0:01:16 > 0:01:20a rather unusual name, and Graham came up with the Crash Test Brummies.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21It's a classic. Certainly not dummies,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24cos you do well in that pub quiz, don't you, Bob?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Yes, we win lots of beer vouchers.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Let's see if you can win some beer vouchers in the form of cash today.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:33 > 0:01:35up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Crash Test Brummies, the Eggheads have won the last three games,
0:01:41 > 0:01:45which means £4,000 says you can't beat them.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Let's play our first round, then, shall we?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49And the first head-to-head is Music.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Who wants to play this round? Music.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- We'll go with you.- You've got to go.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Seems like I'm going first!
0:01:55 > 0:01:57I noticed that you turned round slowly there, Bob,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00"It has to be me, but I'll just look and see if
0:02:00 > 0:02:02"someone else wants to have a go."
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Who would you like to play?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Any one from those five there.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- I think I'll take Chris on.- OK.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Are you OK with that pick?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- IN BIRMINGHAM ACCENT: - I'm all right wit' that, nah bother.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Please excuse him. Can he be an honorary Brummie?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19He can, as long as he doesn't break into Meatloaf.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- LAUGHTER - Ah, yes. We know that about him.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Let's have Bob and Chris into the Question Room, please.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Well, Bob, here's hoping you can get the Crash Test Brummies
0:02:30 > 0:02:32off to a good start.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34No crashing here. Do you want to go first or second?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Off we go. The first question, then.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45A fiddlestick is used to play which musical instrument?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Well, it would be rather difficult playing the piano with a fiddlestick.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I would suggest that's violin.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Violin, the fiddle in question.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57It's the right answer. Well done.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00And your first question, Chris.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02In 1967, Engelbert Humperdinck had his second
0:03:02 > 0:03:06UK number one single with which song?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12It wasn't The Last Tango In Paris.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15And it wasn't The Last Quickstep. It was The Last Waltz!
0:03:15 > 0:03:16The Last Waltz, it certainly was!
0:03:16 > 0:03:19It was a nice easy pair to ease you both in.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21OK, Bob, second question.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25What are the first four words of the hit song by The Proclaimers,
0:03:25 > 0:03:29entitled I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I love The Proclaimers.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41I think that's "When I wake up."
0:03:41 > 0:03:43You're right, yes. "When I wake up."
0:03:43 > 0:03:44The Proclaimers there.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49And Bob loving it, and your team loving the answer. Two to you.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50And Chris.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54June Tabor found fame as a leading exponent of what type of music?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I've heard the name. She's not a rapper.
0:03:59 > 0:04:05I don't think she sang opera. I think she's a folk singer. Folk.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Yes, that's right. Both going well. Two all. Third question for Bob.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14The music for the opera Faust, that was first performed in 1859,
0:04:14 > 0:04:16was written by which composer?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I'm in trouble here! Er...
0:04:23 > 0:04:28- I am going to go for Bizet.- Bizet.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30The music from Faust.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32It's incorrect, Bob.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Chris, of the other two, do you know?- Yes, Gounod.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37It's Gounod. OK.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Chance then for you to take the round, Chris.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Which name, taken from
0:04:41 > 0:04:43an 18th-century school of music in Germany,
0:04:43 > 0:04:48refers to a rapid upward arpeggio over a large range?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Well, 18th century...
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Well, rockets were known in China.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Was there a school of music at Mannheim? Don't think so.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Meteor's not a metaphor that would occur to anyone
0:05:05 > 0:05:09in the 18th century, but they were familiar with fountains.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11So I'll go with Freiburg Fountain.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Freiburg Fountain.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Shaking of heads from the other Eggheads.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18And familiar with rockets, as you said. Mannheim Rocket.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- All right, OK.- OK, well, both failing on your third.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25So, we're into Sudden Death.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28All square after three, and removing the options.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Bob.- Yes.- Here you go.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Which song famously recorded by Frank Sinatra includes the line,
0:05:33 > 0:05:37"Love was just a glance away, a warm, embracing dance away"?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40# Strangers In The Night... #
0:05:42 > 0:05:45OK. Well, you know what? You're right.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50Chris, what is the full name of the band usually abbreviated to
0:05:50 > 0:05:54the letters PiL, fronted by punk-rock star John Lydon?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Well, John Lydon was Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59so what did he go on to do?
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Erm...
0:06:01 > 0:06:03People In Latex?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05LAUGHTER
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Is that your answer?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- It'll have to be, won't it? - OK, People In Latex.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Right, you had a chance to win it on your last one,
0:06:12 > 0:06:14and you've lost it on your Sudden Death one.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Not People In Latex. Other Eggheads?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Public Image Ltd.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Public Image Ltd.- Oh, right.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25And your image doesn't suffer not knowing a punk band, does it?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- Or post-punk, in actual fact.- Yeah.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31But great turnaround for you, Bob.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33You thought you may be going out there
0:06:33 > 0:06:36when you didn't get the question, but you stormed back
0:06:36 > 0:06:39with your Frank Sinatra - and lovely impersonation, too.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41And you're storming into the final round.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Will you both please come back and join your teams.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Well, after that, the Eggheads one brain down.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50All the Crash Test Brummies there.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53And our second head-to-head comes up now. It's Geography.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Who'd like to play this? Geography.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Robert?- Yeah, Rob.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- It's our Robert. - It's going to be me.- Our Robert.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04OK, Rob. Choose an Egghead. Anyone apart from Chris.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Who should I go for? Any one of them...
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Well, I'll go for CJ.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Ah, OK. Imagined you might.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15Let's have Rob and CJ into the Question Room, both of you, please.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Well, Rob, trying to make it worse for the Eggheads here.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Do you want to go first or second?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Hmm... First, please.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Well, Rob, you are going first. First question.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Asuncion is the capital of which South American country?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38It's not Chile, cos Chile is Santiago, I think.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44But Paraguay or Venezuela? Hmm.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47I think Venezuela.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51OK, Venezuela. Asuncion is...
0:07:51 > 0:07:54not the capital of Venezuela. And it's not Chile.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- It's Paraguay. Capital of Venezuela, Eggheads?- Caracas.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00OK. CJ, your first question.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Which symbol is in the centre of the flag of Ghana?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I think this is a flag that has three horizontal stripes
0:08:10 > 0:08:13of yellow, green and red, with a black star in the middle.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Yes, well done. Rob nodding there, he would have known that.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18So, a black star gives you the lead,
0:08:18 > 0:08:22and a chance to get you going, Rob.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Aarhus is the second largest city
0:08:24 > 0:08:26and a principal port of which country?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Aarhus. A-A-R-H-U-S.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36Given the spelling, I would go for the Netherlands.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39It's not Estonia.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46Denmark... Copenhagen, Aarhus?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49OK, so definitely not Estonia.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52It's got to be either the Netherlands or Denmark, purely by the spelling.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I don't know it, I'm going to go for the Netherlands.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58OK, the Netherlands, on the spelling.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59- CJ?- It's Denmark.
0:08:59 > 0:09:06It's Denmark. So, two city questions there, and two Xs on the board.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10So, a chance for CJ to take the round.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14CJ, Cheesehead is a nickname for a person from which US state?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20If you watch Frasier as much as I do, you'll know that
0:09:20 > 0:09:25Roz Doyle comes from the Cheese Belt, which is in Wisconsin.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Just how many questions do you get from watching TV, CJ?
0:09:29 > 0:09:34It's only US sitcoms. It's Frasier, Friends, The Simpsons.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36But there's so much information in there.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38It's the right answer, CJ! You're in the final round.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41And Rob generously applauding there.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Thanks very much for that, Rob.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46But CJ's deprived you of a place in that final round.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53The Eggheads not being made into dummies by the Brummies.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57It's all square now, both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Let's play our third head-to-head.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00And this one is Film & Television.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04So, of the three, we've got Graham, Elaine or Jon there able to play.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- It's got to be you, Jon. - It has to be Jon.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10All right, Jon. And choose an Egghead.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14CJ and Chris have played there, so you have Barry, Daphne or Kevin.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Well, thank you for giving me the choice of those three.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- It's a doddle, isn't it? - Take all three on, Jon.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Look, how I look at it is, if I lose,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26I always get a nice smile from Daphne.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31She always smiles as she sticks the stiletto up your ribs.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33So, I'll go for Daphne.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38How nicely put there, Jon. What an offer that is, Daphne.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Let's go and see if she's got the stiletto concealed.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Jon and Daphne, into the Question Room, please.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51- Jon, let's see if you can wipe the smile off Daphne's face.- I doubt it.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55I doubt it too, in terms of the grin. But you might knock her out.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Let's get the pain over and done with.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Jon, first question on Film & Television.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08The fictional town of Weatherfield is
0:11:08 > 0:11:09the setting for which British TV soap?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16That's a real hard one.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Erm, I think I'll have a bit of Daphne-guessing
0:11:22 > 0:11:24and say Coronation Street.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27OK.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Yes, a real guess, that one.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Coronation Street is correct.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Teasing us there, Jon.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36You began to get me worried. OK, Daphne.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Which character in Neighbours was played by Anne Charleston?
0:11:42 > 0:11:47Well, I have to tell you, my husband is a real Neighbours fan.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53I used to sit and watch it with him. So, it was Madge.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Madge is right.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56I never knew Madonna was in it!
0:11:58 > 0:11:59She doesn't like that name!
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Oh, no, of course. That's why she left the UK. OK.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06It is the right answer. Madge is correct.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08And back to you, Jon.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13Which British actor appeared as Matthew Payne in the 2006 TV film
0:12:13 > 0:12:19Sweeney Todd and as Eames in the 2010 film Inception?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I haven't got the foggiest.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26At least you're honest.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I don't think it's Paul Bettany.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34That's a nice name, Dominic Cooper.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I think I'll go for Dominic Cooper.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39A nice lad, great actor, but not he!
0:12:39 > 0:12:41And you're right about Paul Bettany, it's not him.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43It's Tom Hardy!
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Tom Hardy in Inception and the television film Sweeney Todd.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49So, a chance for Daphne to take the lead.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52In which year was the long-running fire-service drama
0:12:52 > 0:12:53London's Burning first broadcast?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Hmm. I hate dates.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05I can remember watching it, but...
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- '88.- '88. A guess, Daphne?
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- A guess.- You surprise me.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18It's the right answer.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- You hate dates.- I do.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23They're all right at Christmas, I know.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27You said "long-running", so I went for the earliest.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Long-running, OK.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30You see, that's the Egghead in you,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32picking up on any clues in the question.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Which means, Jon, you need to get this.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39Which actress starred opposite Paul Newman in the 1966
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Alfred Hitchcock thriller Torn Curtain?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Well, it was Julie somebody or other.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50We'll give you that much.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I think I've got to go with a bit of Daphne-guessing,
0:13:52 > 0:13:54cos she never seems to get a guess wrong.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Oh, I do. - No, I don't think she does.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02- Julie Andrews.- Julie Andrews?
0:14:02 > 0:14:07So, you're calling down the power of Daphne to have a guess.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08And is it right?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11It is! It worked.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I did know, actually. ALL LAUGH
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Well, at least you're honest with us.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18This is the suspicion that we have about Daphne.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Some of her guesses perhaps may be fairly well informed.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24But you still have the upper hand, Daphne.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27This clinches the round if you get it.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29In which 1956 film did Ava Gardner star
0:14:29 > 0:14:32opposite Stewart Granger and Bill Travers?
0:14:38 > 0:14:44I know Stewart Granger was in Bhowani Junction,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46so I'll go for that.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Enough knowledge to win you the round.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52It is the correct answer, Daphne. Bad luck, Jon. She's grinning now.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Glad to see you're still enjoying yourself, Jon.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Come back and watch the rest of the game with your friends in the studio,
0:15:00 > 0:15:02but you'll not be in the final round.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Those Eggheads have really fought back since that opening round.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09It means two of the Crash Test Brummies have gone.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11One Egghead, of course.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14We reach the last point to try and get rid of an Egghead here.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Our last head-to-head before the final round, and it is Politics.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Two of you available, Graham or Elaine.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22It's going to be Graham, Dermot.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Stay with us, Graham, and choose an Egghead.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Remember, it's not much fun there playing on your own.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33- I don't know, which one? - How confident are you?
0:15:34 > 0:15:38- Medium.- They're both good on Politics.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Whatever, then.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Go for Kevin. Go on, be brave.- Kevin.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Yes, we're going to go for Kevin.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46The choices were between Kevin and Barry,
0:15:46 > 0:15:51and I heard Bob saying to Graham there, "Be brave." So, it's Kevin.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Let's have Kevin and Graham into the Question Room, please.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Graham, as the man behind the team title, The Crash Test Brummies,
0:15:59 > 0:16:03I think we should give you an extra point to start. If only we could!
0:16:03 > 0:16:06We can't, but we can give you the option of whether you want to go first or second.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I'll go first, please.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Good luck, Graham. First question on Politics.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19The German politician Angela Merkel was born in which decade?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Well, I think she's a reasonably young woman,
0:16:26 > 0:16:31which would rule out the '30s, and I'd have thought the '40s.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34So I'll go for the 1950s, please.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39The 1950s is the right answer. Well done.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- Precisely, Kevin, do you know? - Um, no. '54?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Yes!- Oh, OK.- 1954.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49And, I think, also very interestingly about her,
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- she's from the East part of the country.- Yes, yes.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55So grew up under Communism.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Kevin, your first question.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Who led the Liberal Democrats at the 1997 UK General Election?
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Right. That's got me thinking.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10When did Charles Kennedy take over?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15It's not David Steel.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18At least, I don't think so.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22When did Charles Kennedy take over as their...
0:17:22 > 0:17:23as the leader?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- I'll have to go for Paddy Ashdown.- Paddy Ashdown?
0:17:28 > 0:17:32You've struggled in the past, Daphne, with questions about him.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Yes! Must you bring that up?!
0:17:35 > 0:17:39I'll never forget. Couldn't remember his name.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Paddy Ashdown is the right answer, Kevin.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Remember at the time, he had long discussions
0:17:44 > 0:17:47as he revealed afterwards, with Tony Blair about electoral reform
0:17:47 > 0:17:50and felt that he'd been slightly led up the garden path about it all.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Lord Paddy Ashdown.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Doesn't like to be called Lord, so just Paddy Ashdown.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Got it in the end there, Kevin. So, Graham's second question.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Who was the last monarch to enter the chamber of the House of Commons?
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Well, this was a very important point of principle, I believe.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15The breaking of it led to the Civil War.
0:18:15 > 0:18:21So, I've got a strong belief that it is Charles I.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23OK, Charles I.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Civil War ending in the execution, of course, of Charles I.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29It's the right answer, well done.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Hence, Eggheads, with the Queen's Speech.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Now, obviously, it's heard in the Lords, and Black Rod,
0:18:34 > 0:18:39who's the Queen's representative, has to summon the MPs to attend.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42He burst into the chamber, wanting to arrest five MPs,
0:18:42 > 0:18:46one of them who was a predecessor of Francis Pym.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Got there, they'd been tipped off, they'd all gone and he said, "Ah, I see the birds have flown."
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Ah, and that's where we get the phrase from.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55OK, well, it's an interesting round, this.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57See how Kevin goes with his second.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02The United Nations Security Council has how many members in total?
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Oh, it's the... I believe it's the five permanent members of the...
0:19:09 > 0:19:12the Security...er, the...um...
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Sorry, the United... Oh, never mind. Forget that. It's 15.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- 15?- Yeah.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19So, permanent members...how many?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Five.- And then...?
0:19:21 > 0:19:25And then there are ten who do two or three-year terms.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29OK, right answer. 15 members of the UN Security Council.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32So, all square, and back to you, Graham.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37Up to and including that of 2010, how many UK General Elections
0:19:37 > 0:19:40have there been since the start of the Second World War?
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Um, it's going to be a guess, I'm afraid. I'll take 18.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51It's the right answer! Yes, 18.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Tricky, that. 18. We won't name them all. Be here too long.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58But it means Kevin needs to get this.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01What name is given to the television screens
0:20:01 > 0:20:03around the Houses of Parliament
0:20:03 > 0:20:07that display information and live feeds of parliamentary proceedings?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Hmm. Never heard the term, never heard of this at all.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Annunciators seems a very...strange word.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I suppose that's in the sense of announcements.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31I mean, it doesn't really sound as though it's...right.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36If it's giving information, then it could be...
0:20:36 > 0:20:40I wonder if this is a colloquial term or a proper term?
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Expostulators just sounds a bit... grandiose, doesn't it?
0:20:45 > 0:20:46I'll have to go for declarators.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50I mean, it seems the most sensible of the three, but I can't...
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I mean, they all seem awful. I'll go for declarators.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55OK. Write to your MP. Tell them.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Declarators.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Well, I'm declaring that you're not playing in the final round.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03They are annunciators.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Never heard of them.- Annunciators.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09And let's announce this. Well done, Graham. You are in the final round.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Graham, a great achievement in Eggheads terms. Not just because
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Kevin's won so many quiz championships, but in that subject -
0:21:21 > 0:21:23that's one of your very strongest.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Before that round, played 22 times and lost only once,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- I'm sure you know. - Well, I didn't know.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Well, now you do know. Now you've lost twice.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33So quite a scalp, well done.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36But now, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39It's time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:42 > 0:21:44will not be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47So, Rob and Jon from the Crash Test Brummies
0:21:47 > 0:21:52and Kevin and Chris from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55So, then. Bob, Graham and Elaine,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58you are playing to win the Crash Test Brummies £4,000.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01CJ, Daphne and Barry, you're playing for something
0:22:01 > 0:22:04which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12The questions are all general knowledge, and you are allowed to confer in this round.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14So, Bob, Graham and Elaine, the question is,
0:22:14 > 0:22:18are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22I think we'll go first please, Dermot.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Let's get on with it, then.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Crash Test Brummies,
0:22:29 > 0:22:33in which city was the passenger liner Titanic launched in 1911?
0:22:35 > 0:22:40In which city was the passenger liner Titanic launched in 1911?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- Definitely Belfast. - It was definitely Belfast.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48Err, we're pretty sure it was Belfast. So that's our answer.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Pretty sure? You're definite, aren't you?- Yeah.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Built and launched in Belfast, it's the right answer. Well done.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Origins of the Titanic.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Eggheads' first question. Which British model played
0:22:59 > 0:23:05the role of Carly in the 2011 film Transformers: Dark Of The Moon?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Which British model played the role of Carly
0:23:11 > 0:23:14in the 2011 film Transformers: Dark Of The Moon?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Rosie...- I've not seen it.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20- I think she's in it. I don't think the other two are.- No.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24I haven't seen the film, but I think Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's in it.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- Yes.- Rosie Huntington-Whiteley? - Yes.- All right.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Well, CJ believes it's Rosie Huntington-Whiteley,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31and I'm not about to disagree with him.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35- And you haven't got a clue, have you?- No. None whatsoever.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Just as well he's there - it's the right answer.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Second questions apiece. Crash Test Brummies.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Emma Pooley has been an Olympic medal winner
0:23:44 > 0:23:47and world champion in which sport?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Emma Pooley has been an Olympic medal winner
0:23:52 > 0:23:55and world champion in which sport?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Er, any ideas?- No.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01I don't recall..
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Well, what nationality is she? - Well, I don't know.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Polish...- I have no idea what nationality.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11But we haven't had a world champion gymnast for years, if she's British.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Rowing?- You see, it could be rowing.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21- Because it could be in a team of two or three.- Individual golds?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- Do they have world championships in rowing?- Yeah!
0:24:27 > 0:24:29I mean, I don't know.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30- Do you...?- I don't know either.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32My inclination is rowing.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- I'd go for rowing, yeah. - Look, well... Go on, then.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38We don't know, Dermot.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42But we are just going to take a guess - take a punt, if you like -
0:24:42 > 0:24:43at rowing.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46OK, punt at rowing for Emma Pooley.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Has been an Olympic medal winner and world champion in...
0:24:49 > 0:24:53- cycling. The other one you were thinking of.- Yeah, yeah.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Won a silver for Team GB. You were wondering about her nationality -
0:24:57 > 0:24:59she's definitely British.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Silver medal in Beijing. So, chance for the Eggheads to take the lead.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09The Headquarters of the SAS regiment is near which English city?
0:25:11 > 0:25:15The Headquarters of the SAS regiment is near which English city?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I'm sure it's Hereford. Are we all happy?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20I think it's fairly close to me, and that's Hereford, so...
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- Yes, we're all agreed on this one. - We believe it's Hereford.- Hereford?
0:25:24 > 0:25:28That much we know about the SAS. Not much more. It's the right answer.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Yes, Hereford.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32So, you have a lead,
0:25:32 > 0:25:36and that means the Crash Test Brummies need to get this.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40The 1988 novel The Long Dark Tea Time Of The Soul
0:25:40 > 0:25:41featured which detective?
0:25:44 > 0:25:48The 1988 novel The Long Dark Tea Time Of The Soul
0:25:48 > 0:25:52featured which detective?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- Right, that's down to you two. - Rebus is a Glaswegian.- Yeah.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Dirk Gently.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02I've heard it, but I don't know who he is.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- John Rebus, I've heard of. But it doesn't sound like a Rebus.- No.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- I doesn't sound like a Rebus. - I just don't know about Dirk Gently.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- Dirk Gently?- I don't know why, it just sounds like it.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21I don't recall a John Rebus called that.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25So, we're just going to have to take a guess on one of the other two,
0:26:25 > 0:26:26so Dirk Gently.
0:26:26 > 0:26:32OK, Dirk Gently. Long Dark Tea Time Of The Soul.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35It's the right answer, you're still in.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Well, because of not knowing Emma Pooley,
0:26:41 > 0:26:45the Eggheads have a chance here to win the game.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47To the ancient Romans, what was posca?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53To the ancient Romans, what was posca?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55P-O-S-C-A.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58To the ancient Romans, what was posca?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Well, it certainly wasn't fish sauce.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04No, we know the word for fish sauce.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07So, blood sausage or vinegar drink?
0:27:08 > 0:27:12My personal thought was, if it was me, I'd go for vinegar drink.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Well, that's what I would think.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17I know the Romans had both of those in their cuisine. Posca?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22It just sounds more drink-like than a sausage.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24- Mmm-hmm.- What do you think, Daphne?
0:27:27 > 0:27:28I have...
0:27:28 > 0:27:33- If it was you, what would you go for?- Um, probably vinegar drink.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Well, that's the decision made, then.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Well, we're not sure on this one, Dermot. We know it's not fish sauce,
0:27:38 > 0:27:40cos that's garum,
0:27:40 > 0:27:42and to us it sounds more like a drink that a sausage,
0:27:42 > 0:27:44so we'll go for the vinegar drink.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Vinegar drink?
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Do we go to Sudden Death or have the Eggheads won?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53It's the right answer, Eggheads, you've won!
0:27:59 > 0:28:01We'll make them all drink some posca after this,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03see how much they like it.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Oh, bad luck. Did really well in those head-to-heads,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09could have been even better there.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12But not to be in the final round,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14just missing out there with that middle one wrong.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Let the Eggheads in, and they've done it.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21Bad luck, Crash Test Brummies. Loved having you here, loved the name.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25But the Eggheads still reign supreme over quizland.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29I'm afraid you're not going home with the £4,000, so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Join us next time to see
0:28:34 > 0:28:37if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39£5,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
