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?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:33against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:39Taking on our quiz Goliaths are the Ancient Creaks from Oxfordshire.
0:00:39 > 0:00:46These friends who, in the main, live on the same street quiz in various pubs around Bicester,
0:00:46 > 0:00:48often against their wives.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Derek, I'm 57 and a chartered building surveyor.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Martin, I'm 59 and I'm a finance analyst.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Mike, I'm 62 and I'm a medical sales manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Richard, I'm 68 and a retired IT manager.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Chris, I'm 55 and a business analyst.
0:01:09 > 0:01:16- Derek and team, welcome.- Thank you. - And you quiz together.- Yes. - Against your wives, though?
0:01:16 > 0:01:22Occasionally we go up against our wives, yes, in what has been our local pub quiz.
0:01:22 > 0:01:28- And you play golf a lot. - Yes. Not necessarily very good, but we give it a good go.- OK.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33So golf, quizzing, living in the same street. You've got busy lives.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35We have, but we enjoy it.
0:01:35 > 0:01:41- What do you think of this lot? - We respect them.- They're awesome.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46- They're an awesome team, but we're going to do our best.- Good luck.
0:01:46 > 0:01:53Every day there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers. If they fail, the prize money rolls over.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57So, Ancient Creaks, the Eggheads have won the last eight games,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01so £9,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:01 > 0:02:07- Do you want to go for it?- Yes. - The first head to head battle is on History.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Which one of you would like this?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- - OK.- I think it's me. - - Yes, it's you.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15We're happy? It'll be Richard.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20- You've got a plan here. - We have.- You are organised.
0:02:20 > 0:02:26Against which Egghead? Tremendous knowledge Dave, only his second game. Any one.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- Em, you could take on the new kid on the block.- Yeah.
0:02:30 > 0:02:36I'll take the new member of the Eggheads, Dave.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39I didn't set you up, did I? Was that my fault?
0:02:39 > 0:02:44- I'll take them as they come!- He was chosen first last time as well.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49It's Richard from the Ancient Creaks versus Dave, our newest Egghead.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55So, Richard, is history your thing?
0:02:55 > 0:03:00It's one of three subjects that I have been concentrating on,
0:03:00 > 0:03:04but it's not my best subject, but it's one of them.
0:03:04 > 0:03:10- Dave, we're still working out your strengths and weaknesses. - We'll see how the questions go.
0:03:10 > 0:03:17You can always set yourself up for a fall if you start being too confident about certain ones
0:03:17 > 0:03:23and if you say you're weak, then produce a good performance. It depends how the questions fall.
0:03:23 > 0:03:29Kevin's had five years of Food and Drink after some stray comment about not having an oven.
0:03:29 > 0:03:36Three questions, multiple choice, History. Whoever wins goes to the final, the other is knocked out.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Richard, first or second? - First, please.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Your first question. Who were the main passengers of the Hougoumont
0:03:46 > 0:03:53on its voyage from England to Fremantle in Australia between 1867 and 1868?
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Em...
0:03:58 > 0:04:04I have to be careful on this. I'm not absolutely sure of an answer.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09I know that convicts were often transported to Australia.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Soldiers obviously went with them.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19Tea planters. I don't know of tea being planted in Australia,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- so I'm going to opt for convicts. - Well done. Convicts is right.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26One point to you. Dave, your question.
0:04:26 > 0:04:32What name was given to the series of castles built in North Wales by Edward I?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Well, because they're castles
0:04:39 > 0:04:45and because I know that there were military fortifications there,
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I'm going to rule out Copper Band.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53Now Gold Circle's tempting, but I'm going to, as I said,
0:04:53 > 0:04:58- just on the military basis Iron Ring.- Iron Ring is your answer.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- Is he right, Eggheads?- Yes. - Yes, you are right, Dave. Well done.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Back to Richard.
0:05:03 > 0:05:10In 1936, General Metaxas was appointed Prime Minister of which country?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17General Metaxas... That's not a name I've heard.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21I'm going to rule out Austria, I think.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Metaxas could be Greek.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28But I think I might go for Bulgaria.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Bulgaria is your answer, but it's actually Greece.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37- Oh!- Bad luck. Not Bulgaria. It's Greece. OK.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42Dave, see if you can take the lead. Used by the British military in WWII,
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Hobart's Funnies were modified versions of which vehicles?
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Again I've got no idea at all.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Hobart's Funnies.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59Em, it's going to have to be a guess. Tanks.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Tanks is right! Well done. Part of being an Egghead
0:06:03 > 0:06:07is the ability to guess. No doubt about it.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09OK, Richard.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14Which city gave its name to a type of long, pointed shoe popular in the Middle Ages?
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Oh...
0:06:21 > 0:06:27- I don't know a lot about long, pointed shoes...- You need to get this right to stay in.- I know.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I'm drawn to Heidelberg, so I'll go with Heidelberg.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38- I had not heard of this. Anyone on your team know?- No.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Eggheads?- Krakow.- Krakow?
0:06:41 > 0:06:46It's that one on the left. Have you worn those shoes, Daphne?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49No! Not yet.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52I'm sorry, Richard. You've been knocked out by Dave
0:06:52 > 0:06:56who has won two rounds in a row. Dave, you're in the final round.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Please come and rejoin your teams.
0:07:00 > 0:07:06The challengers have lost one brain from the final round, Eggheads none. Very early days, though.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Next subject is Sport.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Which one is the Sport person?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- I think that's me.- Yeah.- Happy?
0:07:13 > 0:07:19- That'll be me, Jeremy. - Derek. Against which Egghead? It can't be Dave.- No.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- I think I'll take on Judith, please. - OK.- What a surprise(!)
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- How did that happen, Judith? - I can't think how.- Oh, dear.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32- You'll put her in a bad mood for the next ten weeks.- Sorry.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37So Derek against Judith on Sport. Please take your positions.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Oh, dear, Judith, here we are again. - I don't mind.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- Have you been revising Sport? - I've been reading the sports pages.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51- I don't believe you.- Don't you? Well, we'll see, won't we?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Derek, you collect Monopoly?
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Yes, I do collect international Monopoly boards.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01So you've got the UK and the USA and how far afield do they go?
0:08:01 > 0:08:06I've got a lot of the European countries, a couple of Scandinavian,
0:08:06 > 0:08:11Australia, Argentina. I've even got one from Japan,
0:08:11 > 0:08:15but we can't play that because we can't read Japanese.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19We'll see who ends up in jail after this round. Three questions.
0:08:19 > 0:08:25Whoever answers the most goes through. Derek, you can choose the first or second set.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Can I go first, please?
0:08:30 > 0:08:36Here we go, Derek. All the best. Which tennis player won his first US Open Singles title in 2011?
0:08:43 > 0:08:50Well, I'm drawn to one in particular. I can't think that it's Fernando Gonzales.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55It doesn't stick out in my mind so much. Nor does Tomas Berdych.
0:08:55 > 0:09:01But very much the new kid on the block is Novak Djokovic.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06So that's my answer, please. Novak Djokovic.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10It's the correct answer. Well done. That's right.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12OK, Judith, your question.
0:09:12 > 0:09:18In the 110 metres hurdles event, what is the distance from the start to the first hurdle?
0:09:24 > 0:09:30Well, 3.72 metres is about... three threes...nine.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35Em...13 would be about 30-something feet.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39I'm trying to visualise what it looks like.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I think it might be 13 metres.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46- The middle one.- Yes.- Remembering the last time you ran that race.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Absolutely. - 13.72 metres is correct, Judith.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Well done. Nine feet would be a bit close to the starting line.
0:09:53 > 0:09:59- Exactly. It would.- You need a run up. Derek, your second question.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03What sport is played by the team called New England Revolution?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10New England Revolution.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I'm thinking, looking at ice hockey, it's not that one.
0:10:13 > 0:10:19Soccer, I can't think it's that. Nothing sort of jumps at me.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I think I'll go for basketball.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27OK. Did your team sigh then?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- A little bit.- What do you think it is?- Soccer.- Yeah, it is soccer.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Soccer is the right answer. Sorry.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36OK, Judith.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41The boxer John Conteh was a world champion in which weight category?
0:10:46 > 0:10:51- He was on one of our celeb programmes.- He was indeed.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56He wasn't vast, so... There isn't heavyweight there.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00I don't think it's lightweight. I think he's light-heavyweight.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03It's the right answer. Well done, Judith.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05So you have to get this, Derek.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- OK.- Or you will be knocked out.
0:11:08 > 0:11:15In the 2011 Formula One season, what was the only circuit to have a figure of eight formation?
0:11:19 > 0:11:25OK. I don't think it's Monza. I'm going to rule that out straight away.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29I'm going to go for Sepang, Jeremy.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32It's...
0:11:32 > 0:11:37- I'm sensing your team might know. - Suzuka.- Suzuka is the answer.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42You were on the right track. Sorry, you've been knocked out. Judith!
0:11:42 > 0:11:47- Come on, where's the fanfare? - You will be in the final round.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Derek, sadly, you won't. Both of you come back to us now.
0:11:51 > 0:11:58So the challengers have now lost two brains from the final round. The next subject is Film and TV.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Film and TV.- OK, that's you.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06- Yes, it's me!- That'll be Martin, Jeremy.- Martin, OK.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10From the Ancient Creaks. Against which creaker on this side?
0:12:10 > 0:12:15- Daphne, I think. - Daphne?- Yeah.- You sure? OK.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20- Go for Daphne.- Daphne. - All right. Martin against Daphne.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30All right, three questions. Film & TV. Martin, first or second?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32I'd like to go first, please.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40Here is your question. In the TV series Dallas, what was the name of JR's wife?
0:12:44 > 0:12:49I actually know this, only because I never watched it,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51but my wife watched it religiously.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56I think... Well, I'm pretty sure that JR's wife was Sue Ellen.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01Sue Ellen is the right answer. Well done. Daphne, your question.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06Who played Jim Hacker in the TV sitcom Yes, Minister and its sequel Yes, Prime Minister?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13That was Paul Eddington.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Paul Eddington is correct. One each. Back to you, Martin.
0:13:17 > 0:13:24What is the name of the character played by Nicole Kidman in the 2001 film Moulin Rouge?
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Oh...
0:13:28 > 0:13:35I've never actually seen this film, so whichever one I plump for will be a guess.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40The only one that sounds like a name to me is...Maxine,
0:13:40 > 0:13:44so, for better or worse, I'll go for Maxine.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- Let's see if Daphne knows. - I'd have gone for Satine.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Satine is the right answer. Back to you, Egghead.
0:13:52 > 0:13:58Who starred as Gil in Woody Allen's 2011 film Midnight In Paris?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Hmm. I haven't seen it,
0:14:06 > 0:14:10but I know Owen Wilson's in it,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13so fingers crossed he's Gil.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Yes?- He is indeed Gil. Owen Wilson is right.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20He's also, I think, Owen Wilson, the voice of... Pat?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Lightning McQueen in Cars.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27You know that because on Mastermind, your whole subject was Pixar.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Pixar Films. I've watched them all many, many, many times.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- OK.- Yes. - All right, Martin, back to you.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38If you get this wrong, Martin, you will be in the sin bin.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43Who devised the animation technique known as Dynamation?
0:14:48 > 0:14:53Well, I've never heard of the first guy there - Harryhausen
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Gerry Anderson,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58he's back in the early '60s, I think
0:14:58 > 0:15:03when he was doing Thunderbirds and Fireball and things like that.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Nick Park is more recent.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09As I say, I don't know the first one,
0:15:09 > 0:15:13so the only one I'll plump for probably is Gerry Anderson.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18- It's actually the guy on the left, Ray Harryhausen.- Never heard of him.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Who can help us with this? Ray Harryhausen?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Things like Jason And The Argonauts,
0:15:23 > 0:15:27various things involving dinosaurs and that sort of thing.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- Real people plus animation?- Yeah. - I see, I see.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35Sorry, that was a tough question and you have fallen off your perch.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Yes.- And Daphne, you will be in the final round.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45OK, is it the time for a change of tactic?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49I think we're committed now, Jeremy. Anything can happen.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54- If this was going on on a golf course, what would you do? - Go to the bar.- Go to the bar?
0:15:54 > 0:16:00- Early to the 19th hole, I think. - OK. It's not over. Honestly, you can win. We've seen it happen.
0:16:00 > 0:16:06You have lost three brains which is not so good, but there is another round before the last round
0:16:06 > 0:16:10and the subject is Geography, so who wants that?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12That's you, Mike.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- The question is, which one do we go for?- That'll be Mike.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20OK, Mike against which Egghead? It can be Pat or Kevin.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25- Go out in glory with Kevin? - Go out in a blaze of glory. - Go out in glory with Kevin.
0:16:25 > 0:16:32The blaze of glory theory. Mike from the Ancient Creaks against Kevin from the Eggheads on Geography.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- Mike, it's up to you to turn it around now, yeah?- I'm trying.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43We've noticed that in each of the previous rounds,
0:16:43 > 0:16:49- your colleagues have got the first question right and the next two wrong.- Unfortunately.
0:16:49 > 0:16:55- If you get the second question right, that is a big moment. - That gives me some bragging rights.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00- It's Geography and you love to travel.- I do, and I have to travel a lot with work.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03But I enjoy travelling with my wife on holiday as well.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07You do medical sales, but you've got some nice cruises booked.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Tell us where. - We're heading for Calgary in Canada,
0:17:10 > 0:17:14across the Rockies, then up the Alaskan coast on a cruise ship.
0:17:14 > 0:17:20- I'll see if I can get those areas to come up.- I haven't been there, so I'd prefer that question next time.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24I'll ask each of you three questions on Geography in turn.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Whoever gets the most questions right will go through to the final.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33- Mike, you can choose the first or second set.- The tactic hasn't worked very well so far,
0:17:33 > 0:17:37but I'll stick with the plan and go first, please.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44Here's your first question. Wallasey is a town on which peninsula?
0:17:48 > 0:17:53One of my team members will be upset if I don't get this one correct
0:17:53 > 0:17:55because it's the Wirral Peninsula.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Wirral is quite right. Well done.
0:18:00 > 0:18:07Kevin, Western Australia is bordered by the Northern Territory and which Australian state?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13The other two are over the other side,
0:18:13 > 0:18:19but in the middle bordering Western Australia is South Australia
0:18:19 > 0:18:22South Australia is correct, Kevin. Well done. Back to you.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27This is a big moment, Mike. If you get your second one right, we may be at the tipping point.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33The International Hydrographic Organisation is based where?
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Oh... I can't say I know the answer to this one.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44As it's an international centre,
0:18:44 > 0:18:49I tend to rule out Monaco even thoug Monaco is on the Mediterranean.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54There are more bodies in Switzerland so I will opt for Switzerland.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Anyone know what the Hydrographic Organisation does?
0:18:57 > 0:19:02- Something to do with water? - Brilliant, Judith! Brilliant!
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Anyone know what it does?- If it's "graphic", perhaps it maps water.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- It's mapping waters and oceans? - Well, it might be.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11It's Monaco, Mike.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15So again we're in that territory
0:19:15 > 0:19:19of first one right, second one wrong. Kevin, your question.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24The Old Vicksburg Bridge crosses which American river?
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Assuming this is the Vicksburg of American Civil War fame,
0:19:32 > 0:19:36I suppose there could be more than one Vicksburg,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40but the only Vicksburg I know of is in Mississippi,
0:19:40 > 0:19:43so the bridge would logically cross the Mississippi.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48So, unless it's another Vicksburg, I shall go for Mississippi.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52If we sprang another Vicksburg on you, we would be particularly cruel.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55You're quite right, it is the Mississippi. Well done.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- What happened on that bridge? - The city of Vicksburg,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01there wasn't a bridge there then, was under siege.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04It was the most famous siege of the Civil War.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07The residents were reduced to eating rats.
0:20:07 > 0:20:13And it actually surrendered finally on July the 4th, 1863,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16so it had a real symbolic value.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19It was a Confederate city and surrendered to the Union.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21He does know a lot!
0:20:21 > 0:20:26Not that that's meant to intimidate you, but let's get this one right.
0:20:26 > 0:20:33Puna - P-U-N-A - is a name given to a grassland and a wind in which mountains?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41I can't recall any winds from the Apennines.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Atlas, of course, North Africa,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48and the Andes in South America.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53It's not a confident guess,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56but I'll go with Andes.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Well done, Mike. You've got it right.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Is this the turning point?
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Kevin, your third question. If you get it right, you've got the round.
0:21:06 > 0:21:12What name taken from a type of cheese is given to a pinnacle of ice on a glacier?
0:21:15 > 0:21:18It's always cheese, isn't it? Um...
0:21:18 > 0:21:22The only one there that I think I've heard of,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25so therefore I'll have to go for it, is serac.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Daphne is signalling wildly. Is he right?
0:21:28 > 0:21:32- Yes.- Serac is correct, Kevin. Well done. You've taken the round.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Mike, sorry, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40You won't be able to take part in the final. Only one of your team members will.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Come back to us and we'll play that final round.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48So it is time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:50 > 0:21:53won't be allowed to take part,
0:21:53 > 0:21:58so Derek, Martin, Mike and Richard from the Ancient Creaks, please leave the studio.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01So, Chris, you are on your own here.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06- Yes.- You're the only one who doesn't live in that street. Is that a coincidence?
0:22:06 > 0:22:12- All the people in that street have left the studio.- It's not a very bright street, I'm afraid.
0:22:12 > 0:22:18- I should have picked a different street to join.- Good luck. This is the moment. It can happen.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23Sometimes the more of them they are, the more confused they get by each other.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28- I'm certainly hoping so. - Good luck. You're playing to win the Ancient Creaks £9,000.
0:22:28 > 0:22:34Pat, Judith, Kevin, Dave and Daphne, you are playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42The questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Chris, the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:22:46 > 0:22:51- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll carry on going first.
0:22:54 > 0:23:00Here's your first question, Chris. The sorcerer Gargamel is a sworn enemy of which characters?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09OK, well, I don't know it straight off.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13I don't think it's The Perishers.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17I'm not too sure about either of the other two
0:23:17 > 0:23:19in terms of enemies.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23But if I have to pick one,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I'll have to say...
0:23:25 > 0:23:27The Smurfs?
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Well done. The Smurfs is right.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32OK.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Eggheads, what is a kakuro?
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- A number puzzle, isn't it? - How do you spell it?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46You spell it K-A-K-U-R-O.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50- What is a kakuro? - It's a number puzzle.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- It's on the back of the newspapers. - Yeah, it's like a sudoku.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56It is, yeah. Kakuro, yeah.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00We believe it's a number puzzle, like a variant on the sudoku.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05- It's a number puzzle. - Number puzzle is the right answer.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09In sudoku, you've got to get nine in a box. What do you do with this?
0:24:09 > 0:24:14- It's numbers.- It's adding to make sure the numbers are symmetrical,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16so it's a bit more complicated.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20OK. It's a shame they didn't stumble there.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23That would have really helped us. Your second question.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28Howard Devoto is best known for being a founder member of which punk band?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Right, Howard Devoto.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42I think... I think he left to form Magazine or something, but, um....
0:24:42 > 0:24:44I might be wrong.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Howard Devoto, I'll...
0:24:49 > 0:24:51I don't remember him in The Damned.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I think I'll have to go for, um...
0:24:54 > 0:24:56The Buzzcocks?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Brilliant. Right all the way through.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04I know that because Magazine are one of my favourite bands. Well done.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07They're silently clapping behind you.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I say "silently" as we can't hear them.
0:25:09 > 0:25:16OK, Eggheads, which Roman emperor is commonly believed to have banned the Olympic Games in 393 AD?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I think it's Theodosius.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Theodosius, yeah. - Is it?
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- I think it's Theodosius. - We think that's Theodosius.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33And why do you think that?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Because it was.- Because it was?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Yeah.- That's a good reason.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Theodosius is right. Theodosius is right.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44All right, so...
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Get this one correct, Chris, and they may collapse.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53What symbol featured on the coat of arms of Kate Middleton's family
0:25:53 > 0:25:57that was unveiled shortly before her wedding to Prince William?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Right, I'm not sure about this one.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14I don't see what would be special about swords.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18A unicorn and oak leaves are quite common.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21I'm just going to have to pick something.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26I'll say "unicorn"?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- Eggheads?- Oak leaves. - Oak leaves is the answer.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33She had sort of earrings.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- A unicorn is too royal. - A unicorn is too royal?- Yeah.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41- So she had some oak-leaf earrings, did she?- Yes.- Yes.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Sorry, Chris. You've got that wrong.
0:26:43 > 0:26:49You've got two out of three. You need to hope the Eggheads get two out of three or the game is over.
0:26:49 > 0:26:55Eggheads, Telugu and Tamil belong to which family of languages?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- Dravidian.- Yeah, Dravidian.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04We think that's Dravidian.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07A lot of consensus here, a lot of agreement.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- No-one cutting up rough, disagreeing?- No.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13You're not saying much there, Judith.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- Do you have a different idea? - No, I agree with them.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Always the best way.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22The correct answer is Dravidian.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26So we say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35Do you know, I had a feeling there that you were going to take them apart.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37I really did. I just did.
0:27:37 > 0:27:42- Never mind.- You were playing with great confidence and also the oak leaves... Tricky!
0:27:42 > 0:27:48- I nearly said "oak leaves", but that's the way it goes. - Would you have known Dravidian?- No.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52I don't know how you did know that, Eggheads. How would you know that?
0:27:52 > 0:27:58- It's Indian.- There's a group of languages in southern India called Dravidian languages.- Of course, yeah
0:27:58 > 0:28:03Now they've said it, it's jolted our memories, hasn't it?
0:28:03 > 0:28:07It's what they spend their lives doing. Commiserations, challengers.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12Eggheads, you've done what comes naturally to you and your winning streak continues.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17You won't be going home with the £9,000, so the money rolls over.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Eggheads, well done. Who will beat you? Join us next time
0:28:20 > 0:28:25to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27£10,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
