0:00:03 > 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 > 0:00:20The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 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 > 0:00:35And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:35 > 0:00:39are Eels & More Eels. This team are all members
0:00:39 > 0:00:45of the Dartford Road Runners and they have completed over 50 marathons. Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Brian, I'm 48 and I'm a police officer.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Dave, I'm 38 and I'm a development manager.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Rob, I'm 41 and I'm a printer.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Stuart, I'm 52. I'm a police officer.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Mike, I'm 60 years young and I'm an insurance broker.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08So, Brian and team, welcome. Great to see you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- Eels & More Eels, please explain. - It's a bit of a play on words.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16We do lots of training for marathons and 10K races and lots of hill-running.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20And one night in a curry house we were having a meal
0:01:20 > 0:01:25and the discussion was about what was the best sort of food for running
0:01:25 > 0:01:29and Dave decided the best food for running was eels and more eels!
0:01:29 > 0:01:35- A pun on "heels and more heels"? - Exactly.- And from Dartford and thereabouts?
0:01:35 > 0:01:40Yes, we all live in the Dartford surrounding area and we're members of the Road Runners.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44You describe yourselves as "a drinking club with a running problem"?
0:01:44 > 0:01:47At the far end of the table, definitely, yes.
0:01:47 > 0:01:53Good luck in the contest. There's £1,000 of cash up for grabs every day for our challengers.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01So, Eels & More Eels, the Eggheads have won the last ten games,
0:02:01 > 0:02:05so that means £11,000 says you can't beat them today. How's that?
0:02:05 > 0:02:10- Sounds good.- The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Who would like this one?
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- We decided it was going to be Mike for Geography? - Are you up for that, Mike?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Yes.- Who would you like to play?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Mike against which Egghead?
0:02:21 > 0:02:27Not that I'm pointing you in his direction, but we've got Tremendous Knowledge Dave, our newest Egghead,
0:02:27 > 0:02:32- and all the rest to choose from. - I think probably Barry.- Barry, OK.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Mike from Eels & More Eels versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:02:36 > 0:02:42Just to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- Mike, welcome to the show. - Thank you.- You've got one of the more interesting CVs.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51You run a broker business, you do the Ironman contest in Austria.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56- You did a stand-up comedy gig when you turned 60.- Yes.- Anything else?
0:02:56 > 0:03:01- I'm on telly for the first time.- You didn't want to mention the tattoo?
0:03:01 > 0:03:07- Not really, no.- Of the Dartford Runners which is, shall we say, not visible on television today?
0:03:07 > 0:03:13- I've got an Ironman tattoo which is on my shoulder and the Dartford Road Runner tattoo which isn't.- OK.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Good luck in Geography. You're up against Barry.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21- Had a bit of a bashing in the last game, Barry? - Yes, I'm still kicking myself.
0:03:21 > 0:03:27I feel your pain. Three questions on Geography in turn. Mike, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I'll go first, please.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Number one question. What is the official language of Colombia?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Well, it wouldn't be French, I don't think.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46And I know Portuguese is Brazil.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I'll go for Spanish.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55Spanish is right. Well done. You could've easily tripped up on that.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Barry, the Costa del Sol is in which autonomous community of Spain?
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Galicia is up in the north-west, so it won't be Galicia.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Andalusia, that's Barcelona which is further north.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15And the Costa del Sol is further south.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19I'm not 100% certain on this one, but I'll go for Cantabria.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Has he got it right, Eggheads?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- No, it's Andalusia. - It's Andalusia, Barry.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- Ah!- Andalusia. A little bit of excitement on the Eels team here.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Can you take... You have taken the lead. Can you go further ahead?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Which Michigan city, Mike, is nicknamed Cereal City?
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Well...
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Something is drawing me towards Grand Rapids. I don't know why.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54But I will say Grand Rapids.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Barry, do you know this one?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59It's in Battle Creek.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02That's where Kellogg's founded Corn Flakes and various things.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06The Kellogg's connection. Difficult one to guess. It's Battle Creek.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Back to you, Barry.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14The abandoned mining town of Kolmanskop is in which African country?
0:05:18 > 0:05:23- Could you spell that, please? - K-OL-M-A-N-S-K-O-P.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27That sounds very Afrikaans and of those three countries,
0:05:27 > 0:05:33Namibia was controlled by South Africa for quite a while,
0:05:33 > 0:05:35so my guess answer would be Namibia.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Perfect logic. Well done, Namibia it is.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Back to you, Mike.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Which avenue is popularly regarded as the widest in Paris?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Well, um...
0:05:56 > 0:06:00I've run the Paris Marathon on about four occasions
0:06:00 > 0:06:02and I'm going to do it very soon.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05And, uh...
0:06:05 > 0:06:10I know the Avenue Victor-Hugo is on the course.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I'm not sure about the Avenue de l'Opera.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20But I know that the marathon finishes in the Avenue Foch
0:06:20 > 0:06:22and that is very wide
0:06:22 > 0:06:26because there's thousands and thousands of people in that avenue.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30So I will go for Avenue Foch.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34That's one of the most brilliant processes of reasoning I've seen.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38You're right, well done. Avenue Foch. That's the way to do it.
0:06:38 > 0:06:45Barry, if you don't get this, you are out. In which city was Megatrend University founded in 1989?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Hmm... I've not heard of the university.
0:06:53 > 0:06:551989...
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05I'm pretty certain Zagreb had a university well before that date
0:07:05 > 0:07:08and I suspect Belgrade had as well.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I don't know the answer, but I'll go for Ljubljana.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia,
0:07:14 > 0:07:18but it's actually Belgrade, this one.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20You've been knocked out.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Mike, well done. First blood to the Eels.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Exciting start. Mike, you will be in the final round and Barry won't.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:31 > 0:07:38The challengers have not lost a brain, but the Eggheads have lost Barry. The next subject is Science.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Which runner wants Science?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- I can take that.- Dave? - Definitely not me.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46It has to be Dave. He's the only one with a degree.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Dave is the only one with a degree? - LAUGHTER
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Is it in Science, by any chance? - No, it's nowhere near.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Not in Science. - What is it in, actually?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- Sports and Recreation. LAUGHTER - Which Egghead?
0:07:59 > 0:08:04I'm going to go for Daphne for no other reason than my mum's a massive fan.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- That's nice. That's made her day. - I'll try not to upset your mum.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15That's going to be hard. Dave from Eels & More Eels versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:08:15 > 0:08:21Dave's mum is going to be watching. To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question rooms now.
0:08:21 > 0:08:28Three questions on Science. Whoever answers the most questions correctly goes through to the final.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33- Dave, you can choose the first or the second set. - I'll take the first set, please.
0:08:36 > 0:08:42Your first question. The popular term for a baby conceived by in-vitro fertilisation
0:08:42 > 0:08:46includes the name of which piece of laboratory equipment?
0:08:51 > 0:08:58There's only one sort of baby on the list that I've actually heard of.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03A Petri dish doesn't sound very likely. It's sort of too open.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Burette, I don't know what a burette is,
0:09:06 > 0:09:11so I'll have to go with "test tube" as my answer to this question.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16- They didn't cover burette in your sports degree?- No, strangely not.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20It is "test-tube baby". Well done. Here's your question, Daphne.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24What is the chemical formula for hydrochloric acid?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Hydrochloric acid...
0:09:35 > 0:09:37HCl?
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- Is that a question or an answer? - I hope it's the right answer.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44It is the right answer. Back to you, Dave.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49The shell of a chicken egg chiefly consists of which substance?
0:09:54 > 0:09:59For a living thing, an organic material,
0:09:59 > 0:10:04I think potassium sounds a bit toxic, really,
0:10:04 > 0:10:07as perhaps does magnesium, though not so much,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10but calcium and carbon would seem
0:10:10 > 0:10:13to be more the building blocks of living things,
0:10:13 > 0:10:17so on that basis, I think I'll try calcium carbonate.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Very good. You got it right. It is calcium carbonate.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Daphne, your question to catch up.
0:10:22 > 0:10:29The SI unit of magnetic flux density is named after which scientist?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39It's Nikola Tesla.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44It is. Did his friends call him Simon? Why is it called the SI unit?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- System International. - System International?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Yes.- Right, OK.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52So it's Nikola Tesla.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Back to you, Dave.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59Labradorite, named after the region of Canada in which it was first identified,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02is a variety of which mineral?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09When the question started, I thought, "That's a mineral,"
0:11:09 > 0:11:14but that hasn't really helped me because you've told me that.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18I'm sort of liking halite because it has the same ending as labradorite,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20so I suppose that's possible,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23but quartz could be a possibility as well.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26My first thought was for halite,
0:11:26 > 0:11:30so I will go for halite.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I'm liking your logic, but it's wrong. It was feldspar.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Daphne, if you get this right,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38you are through to the final round.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43The Frenchman Jean-Henri Fabre was a leading name in which scientific field?
0:11:49 > 0:11:55He was a leading expert on insects,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57so it's entomology.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Entomology is the right answer, Daphne. Well done.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Dave, I thought you were going to take that round, but she's tough,
0:12:05 > 0:12:09as I'm sure your mum will appreciate by way of mitigation.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14Daphne, you're in the final. Dave, you've been knocked out. Please rejoin your teams.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Brian, any change of tactic now?
0:12:18 > 0:12:23No, we're reasonably happy. It's one more through than we were hoping to get through.
0:12:23 > 0:12:29- You're a police officer?- Yes, I am. - And one of your colleagues is? - Stuart.- Stuart is as well.- I am.
0:12:29 > 0:12:35- If it gets any worse, you could arrest them. - It might be coming to that, yeah.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40The challengers have lost one brain. The Eggheads have also lost a brain from that final round.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45Our next subject is Sport. You're going to love this, aren't you?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48We are. Dave was going to do Sport.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Is that me then?- It's got to be.
0:12:51 > 0:12:57- I'll take Sport, Jeremy. - OK, Brian on Sport against which Egghead?- I'll play against Chris.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Brian from Eels & More Eels against Chris...
0:13:00 > 0:13:06- Yeah.- On Sport.- I did 12 years as a special on the Met, so don't come the old flannel with me!
0:13:06 > 0:13:08LAUGHTER
0:13:08 > 0:13:12To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Chris, I've got your CV - Brain of Britain champion 2005,
0:13:15 > 0:13:19International Mastermind since 1983, Mastermind champion '83.
0:13:19 > 0:13:25- You didn't mention you were a special in the Met. - No, well, 1976 to 1988, yeah.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- Meaning you do that in your spare time and unpaid?- Unpaid, yeah.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Just going around arresting people?
0:13:32 > 0:13:37I've felt a couple of collars in my time, but mostly, I used to go out patrolling Enfield town.
0:13:37 > 0:13:43You never know who might have been deterred from doing what by the sight of me heaving over the horizon.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48- That's interesting - a part of your life I didn't know about. - You'd be surprised, Jeremy.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- We're finding things out the whole time.- Excellent. Good stuff.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57I'll ask each of you three questions on the subject of Sport in turn.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- You can choose the first or second set.- I'd like to go first, please.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09Here we go. All the best. What is the lightest men's boxing weight category at the Olympic Games?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Well, I know it's not the middle one
0:14:17 > 0:14:20because cruiserweight is in the heavier divisions,
0:14:20 > 0:14:24so it's going to be between bantam and fly.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28I'll go for flyweight because flies are smaller than bantams,
0:14:28 > 0:14:30so I'll say "light flyweight".
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Brilliant logic. You're quite right. It is light flyweight. Well done.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Boxing weights are great quiz territory.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40We still haven't worked out what they all are.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- There are so many of them. - Yes, so many of them.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Chris, your Sports question.
0:14:46 > 0:14:52Curve Grande is a high-speed curve on the circuit used for the Formula One Grand Prix of which country?
0:14:56 > 0:15:00It's not Austria. It would be German if it was in Austria.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I don't think the Italian for "curve" is "curve",
0:15:04 > 0:15:08but Curve Grande sounds French to me, so I'll say France.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- It sounds French to me, but it's in Italy.- Is it?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Brian, your question.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19Which tennis player is the second cousin of the footballer Charles N'Zogbia?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27That's a real tough one.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30I think I'll go with the old adage, if you're not sure,
0:15:30 > 0:15:34pick the one straight down the middle, so I'll go for Gilles Simon.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36It's not Gilles Simon. It's Tsonga.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Chris, your question
0:15:39 > 0:15:42to get off the starting blocks here
0:15:42 > 0:15:44in your favourite topic of Sport.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48In European flat-racing,
0:15:48 > 0:15:54which thoroughbred won Horse of the Year at the 2011 Cartier Racing Awards?
0:15:58 > 0:16:02"So you think" I'm going to know this? We'll go with So You Think.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05So You Think is wrong. It's Frankel, Chris.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09As in "Frankel" rotary engine?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11LAUGHTER
0:16:11 > 0:16:15I know you need an engine connection to get the answer.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- Sorry I couldn't supply one. This is good, Brian.- It is.
0:16:19 > 0:16:25If you get this one right, you are through to the final round and Chris is out of the contest.
0:16:25 > 0:16:31Bob Mathias, later a US Congressman, won two Olympic gold medals in which athletics event?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37I'm going away from decathlon.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39I just think that's not...
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I'm thinking back to the era of Daley Thompson
0:16:42 > 0:16:46and I can't think of that name before then.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48I hope it's not a marathon runner.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I'd be really embarrassed if I got that wrong.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55On a process of elimination, I'm going to have a go at pole vault.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59I can see why you went for pole vault, but it's wrong.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03It is decathlon. In '48 and '52, so just after the Second World War.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Chris, you've got a way back in here if you get this one right.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12In which sport did Miki Ando of Japan become a famous name?
0:17:16 > 0:17:20They had the Winter Olympics, didn't they, at Sapporo?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Figure skating is not very Japanese
0:17:22 > 0:17:26and snowboarding is too modern, so I'll say ski jumping.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31"Figure skating isn't very Japanese..." It is figure skating.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- Oh.- So we apologise to Miki Ando, who is a lady, by the way.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- Now we get down to it! - Yeah, that might have helped you.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43I couldn't tell you that. Figure skating is the correct answer.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48Ski jumping is not. So, Chris, you're out. Brian, you're through. Well done.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53Some good running by Eels & More Eels. Please, both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58The challengers have lost one brain and the Eggheads have lost two brains from the final round.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02It's looking tasty! The last subject is Film & Television.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04So who would like to take this?
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- I think it's going to be Rob. - Yeah.- I'll take it.- Rob, OK.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Which Egghead? It can be Dave, Tremendous Knowledge, or Kevin.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17- We know Kevin's very strong, but we don't know what Dave's like. - Unknown territory.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22- I've never seen Kevin weak on TV & Films.- I'll challenge TK Dave.
0:18:22 > 0:18:28The slightly unknown quantity. So it is Rob from Eels & More Eels versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room now.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Good luck. I'll ask you three questions on Film & Television.
0:18:35 > 0:18:41- Rob, you can choose the first or second set of questions. - Following suit, I'll take the first.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Here we go. Good luck to Eels & More Eels.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49In the 1980 film The Blues Brothers,
0:18:49 > 0:18:55what are the first names of the title characters played by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Having seen the film on numerous occasions,
0:19:02 > 0:19:05I really hope I don't get it wrong.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09So I think I will eliminate Buck and Cody
0:19:09 > 0:19:13and Luke and Harley and go for Jake and Elwood...
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I hope.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19You're right to hope. Jake and Elwood, it is. Well done.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Best line from that film, anyone?
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- We're on a mission from God? - We're on a mission from God.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30Dave, who played the part of Charlotte in the US TV series Sex And The City?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Right, one of my wife's favourite programmes,
0:19:37 > 0:19:41interrupting the golf on Sunday nights and things like that.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I think Charlotte is Kristin Davis.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50She's the kind of neurotic one who eventually ended up getting married.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52My final answer is Kristin Davis.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Kristin Davis is the right answer. OK, so...
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Let's see how we go. Over to you, Rob.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04In 2010, a statue of which sitcom character was unveiled in Thetford in Norfolk?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11That's a difficult one. Um...
0:20:13 > 0:20:15If I go with my initial thought,
0:20:15 > 0:20:19I would have said Captain Mainwaring.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21That's my answer.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Captain Mainwaring is the right answer. Well done.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27From Dad's Army. OK, Dave, your chance to catch up.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32Who directed the films Vanilla Sky, Almost Famous and Jerry Maguire?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Um...
0:20:39 > 0:20:43I can try and eliminate things. I don't think it's Bryan Singer.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I don't think it's Brett Ratner.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48If it's Jerry Maguire, I associate that film...
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Can you name the three films again?
0:20:50 > 0:20:55Who directed the films Vanilla Sky, Almost Famous and Jerry Maguire?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I didn't know he did Vanilla Sky and Almost Famous,
0:20:58 > 0:21:02but I thought Jerry Maguire was Cameron Crowe, so that's my answer.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07And it's the right answer. Well done. Over to you, Rob.
0:21:07 > 0:21:14The 2007 film Stardust and the 2009 film Coraline were based on works by which writer?
0:21:20 > 0:21:25I'm familiar with Neil Gaiman and Philip Pullman.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27I'm not familiar with Alan Garner,
0:21:27 > 0:21:31so really I would be clutching at straws,
0:21:31 > 0:21:36but I'll take Philip Pullman as my answer.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40You were heading in the right direction, but you swerved.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44It's Neil Gaiman. So a chance for Tremendous Knowledge to take it.
0:21:44 > 0:21:50Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn's on-screen partnership began with which film, Dave?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56That's a very hard question.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I think they've been in all three.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I'll go for Woman Of The Year
0:22:02 > 0:22:04as a guess, but with no other basis
0:22:04 > 0:22:07than it's one that just sticks out to me.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10But I don't really...
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I don't really know.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17- You've got it right. It is Woman Of The Year.- A bit lucky.- Very good.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Rob, sorry, you've been beaten.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24- Yeah. He's a tough competitor. - He is. Well done, Dave. You're in the final round.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:22:27 > 0:22:33This is what we've been playing towards, the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37But those of you who lost your head-to-heads can't take part,
0:22:37 > 0:22:43so we say goodbye to Dave and Rob from Eels & More Eels and also Barry and Chris from the Eggheads.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Would you please leave us now?
0:22:46 > 0:22:52Right, Brian, Stuart and Mike, you're playing to win Eels & More Eels £11,000.
0:22:52 > 0:22:58Kevin, Daphne and Dave, you are playing for something that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:58 > 0:23:05I'll ask each team three questions in turn, this time on General Knowledge, and you can confer.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09So, Eels & More Eels, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- We'll find out.- We will indeed.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17- Do you want to go first or second? - We'll go first.- We'll go first again, please, Jeremy.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Here we go. All the best to you.
0:23:22 > 0:23:29Which 1959 musical was not performed in Salzburg as a full-scale production until 2011?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36The Sound Of Music is the obvious one.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- That's the obvious one. - That's the area that was...
0:23:39 > 0:23:41The other two are American.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46- I can't see any reason...- There's no reason for West Side Story to be...
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- Unanimous?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51We all agree on The Sound Of Music.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54The Sound Of Music is correct. Well done.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Eggheads, your question.
0:23:56 > 0:24:02What name is given to the craze of being photographed in an unusual or incongruous location
0:24:02 > 0:24:05while lying face down with your arms by your sides?
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- Yeah, happy with planking?- Yeah. - We think that's planking.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Planking is the correct answer. Well done.
0:24:15 > 0:24:22OK, your second question. "Cry God for Harry, England and St George" is a line from which Shakespeare play?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Well, it's a Henry.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- I think it's Henry V.- I don't think it's Henry VIII.- Definitely not.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I would go with Henry V.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39I'm sure it was one of the early Henrys because it's during the wars.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- Henry V is always the quoted one. - I'm quite happy with that, yeah.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47- Are you?- Yeah.- I don't know anything from Henry VIII.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50No, it's about the Wars of the Roses, etcetera.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53We're going to go with Henry V. We're all agreed.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Henry V is correct.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Two out of two, challengers. Let's see what happens to the Eggheads.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02The Barghest, a figure from the myths of northern England,
0:25:02 > 0:25:06usually takes the form of which creature, Eggheads?
0:25:09 > 0:25:13The Barghest, a figure from the myths of northern England,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15usually takes the form of which creature?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- I think it's a dog.- Yeah.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- Definitely.- A big, black dog? - Yeah.- OK.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23We think that's a dog.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28Dog is correct. They've got their teeth into your trousers.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34The couturier Mainbocher developed a signature shade of blue
0:25:34 > 0:25:37which became associated with which public figure?
0:25:41 > 0:25:46- Right, Mainbocher is the person who developed the colour.- Yeah.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- Of those three...- I don't think it was Shirley Temple.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56Shirley Temple was a child, so it's between the other two.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- Jacqueline Kennedy was very fashionable.- That was the '60s.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Wallis Simpson would have been the '30s, Jacqueline Kennedy the '60s.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07After she was with Kennedy, she was with Onassis,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- so she was more high profile.- Yeah.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- And fashionable. - Yeah, that would be my logical...
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Are we going to go with Kennedy?
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- I think so.- I think so, yeah. Jacqueline Kennedy.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21We think due to her high profile,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24we think Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Jacqueline Kennedy. Eggheads, what's the answer?
0:26:27 > 0:26:32- Wallis Simpson.- Wallis Simpson. - He designed her wedding outfit.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Wallis Simpson is the answer, guys.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37If you get this right, Eggheads,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40you've taken the contest. Here we go.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45The Stolen Kiss in the Hermitage and the Portrait of Diderot in the Louvre
0:26:45 > 0:26:47are works by which artist?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Yeah, I was thinking initially
0:26:57 > 0:27:00that they sound like pictures done by Fragonard.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Yes, exactly. Corot...
0:27:03 > 0:27:06The other crucial point is the other two were alive
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- after Diderot was dead.- Yes.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- So...- Yeah.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Um, I think it's...
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- The Stolen Kiss sounds very Fragonard.- It's 18th century.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- Yes.- Fete champetre. - Isn't Corot more landscape?
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Yes, that's the other thing. Corot is landscape.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Delacroix did classical pictures.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- Yes.- But Diderot was...
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- Diderot died in 1784.- Yes.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36- Neither of the others was born until after that.- No.- So it's got to be.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39That's Fragonard, Jean-Honore Fragonard.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41I'm loving your use of logic there.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46- So Corot and Delacroix were after Diderot died?- Yes.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51I'm not sure. Corot might have overlapped by about ten years.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56Jean-Honore Fragonard is the correct answer. Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06Commiserations, challengers. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:06 > 0:28:12and their winning streak continues. You won't be going home with the £11,000, so that money rolls over.
0:28:12 > 0:28:18Eggheads, very well done. Three of you here, but you won in the final and I wonder who will ever beat you?
0:28:18 > 0:28:23Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26£12,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
