0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today are...
0:00:37 > 0:00:39This team of friends from in and around Portsmouth
0:00:39 > 0:00:42all know each other through working in the legal profession.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47- Let's meet them.- Hello, I'm Alison, I'm 50 and I'm a solicitor.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hello, I'm Michael, I'm 54 and I'm a family lawyer.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Jonathan, I'm 49 and I'm a parish priest.
0:00:55 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Sue, I'm 61 and I'm a retired lawyer and mediator.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Sophie, I'm 44 and I'm a solicitor.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- So, Alison, you work in the law? - We all do,
0:01:08 > 0:01:11or have done in the past, worked in the law.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- You smuggled a vicar in? - I have. He used to be a solicitor in a former life.- I see.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- You're all connected in that way. - Indeed.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- Is the law fun?- It has its moments!
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- Have you quizzed together before? - The five of us have not quizzed together as a team,
0:01:26 > 0:01:30but individual members have quizzed in various permutations.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35- Do you watch the show? - We do, and have done so avidly since we knew we were coming on!
0:01:35 > 0:01:37So, you've got theories about strategy?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- We'll see if they work! - All right, we'll see what happens.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52So, Solicitous, the Eggheads have won the last four games,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- which means £5,000 says you can't beat them today!- We'll have a go!
0:01:56 > 0:02:00We'll start with a head-to-head battle on the subject of Geography.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- No, that's good.- Who wants that?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- That'll be me, then. - Go for that, Sue.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- I'll be the first lamb to the slaughter, then. - The first victorious!
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Sue, who do you want to play? Which Egghead?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Who shall I pick?- I'd try Dave.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Go for Dave.- Definitely try Dave. He's a new face.
0:02:17 > 0:02:23OK, I'm being told Dave, as he's the unknown quantity.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28He is known as "TK" Dave, Tremendous Knowledge Dave, for historical reasons.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32We're just getting to grips with your prowess in the various areas,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34so this'll be interesting.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37It's going to be Sue from Solicitous versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42To ensure there's no conferring, take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44OK, let's see how we do. Good luck, Sue.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Three multiple-choice questions on Geography in turn.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Sue, would you like to go first or second?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55I think I'll go first, please.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Here we go. Good luck to Solicitous.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04The city of Moscow is in which part of Russia?
0:03:09 > 0:03:15OK, it's not going to be Far Eastern Russia.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Er, it... Hm, hm, hm...
0:03:19 > 0:03:23It's either western or south-central.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30I'm going to go down the middle and say South-Central Russia.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35It is further over to the west, I'm afraid. It's Western Russia.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37We go to Dave.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42The Somali capital Mogadishu is situated on which ocean?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I believe... Well, I'm not too sure.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I'll rule out Pacific.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Yes, I'm going to go Indian.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Indian is the right answer.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- That defeats the famous rule. - For once, it's not Pacific!
0:04:00 > 0:04:05I don't know if they told you this, but when the option is Pacific, they always go Pacific.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- They do, but in this case, I couldn't go Pacific.- No, exactly.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Or cheese! But that would definitely be a wrong answer!
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Pacific and cheese - two things I don't like!
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Indian is correct. Dave takes the lead. Your question, Sue.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21What is the approximate population of Brazil?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31It's a very big country,
0:04:31 > 0:04:35with huge, erm, unpopulated pockets.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Er... I don't know.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I'm going to...
0:04:42 > 0:04:45..go for...
0:04:46 > 0:04:47..300 million.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51300 million. So, bigger than the USA?
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- It's big. How big is it? Anyone? - I think 200 million would be nearest.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58200 million is what we're looking for, Sue.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- It's still absolutely huge, isn't it?- Oh, yes.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Is it bigger space-wise than the USA?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- No, the USA is a bigger land area. - Yes.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10And they're about 265, are they, or 300?
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- About 300 and something. - The US is about 308, is the latest.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- 308?- Yes.- Right.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19OK, "Tremendous Knowledge" Dave,
0:05:19 > 0:05:22if you get this right, you've taken the round.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24The village of Portmeirion,
0:05:24 > 0:05:28famously used as the location for the TV series The Prisoner,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30is in which Welsh county?
0:05:35 > 0:05:40Right, erm, again, I'm not totally confident,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43but let me just have a think about this.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Monmouthshire's headed towards Gwent and South Wales,
0:05:47 > 0:05:48so I don't think it's that.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Then you've got Dyfed with Carmarthenshire.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I'm going to go for Gwynedd.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Lovely bit of logic. You've got it right. Well done.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59It is Gwynedd. You've taken the round after two questions.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Sue, I'm sorry, you've been knocked out.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07But it's early days for your team. Both of you, rejoin your teammates.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11As it stands, the Challengers have lost a brain from the Final Round.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13The Eggheads have lost none so far.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17The second subject for you is Film & TV.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Who would like this?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- Am I taking that?- Sophie.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23You're fabulous! You're good!
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Which Egghead?- Which Egghead, Sophie?- Daphne, please.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31- Good choice.- Sophie the lawyer versus Daphne the banker, do we say?
0:06:31 > 0:06:37- That's what you used to do, isn't it?- I was only a lowly secretary to a bank manager.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40That's what they all say!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I'm not a banker!
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Sophie from Solicitous versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51What kind of law do you do, Sophie?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Criminal lawyer. I prosecute.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- You used to be defence, is that right?- That's correct, till about 2006.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03- What made you change?- Opportunities with the Crown Prosecution Service were great,
0:07:03 > 0:07:08and I was getting a bit tired of getting up in the night to go to the police stations.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Is it easier to prosecute people because most are guilty or what?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Er, we still have to prove it. - LAUGHTER
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- That's kind of inconvenient. - It gets in the way sometimes!
0:07:19 > 0:07:22I have a note that says that when you were four, you won a competition
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- which was to dress as what? - A ladybird.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27And the prize was to sit on what?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Roger Moore's knee!
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- We ought to have a question on that really!- Yes!
0:07:32 > 0:07:36OK, I'm going to ask each of you three questions on Film & TV.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Whoever answers the most questions goes through to the final.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Sophie, would you like the first or the second set?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43The first set, please, Jeremy.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Here we go with your first question. In the TV soap EastEnders,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53what was the first name of the mother of Ian Beale?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Angie was married to Den
0:07:59 > 0:08:02and had, erm...
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I can't remember their daughter's name.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Sharon, I think it was. Letitia Dean played her.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Pat...
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Famous for her earrings.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Erm...
0:08:16 > 0:08:20I can't remember her son's name, but it certainly wasn't Ian,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23so it's Kathy, Jeremy. Kathy.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- I'm sensing you're a fan of the programme.- I used to be.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30You got it right. Well done. Kathy is correct.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Good. You've banked a correct answer. Well done.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38Daphne, the 2011 instalment of which film series is subtitled "Ghost Protocol"?
0:08:44 > 0:08:49I think it's Mission: Impossible.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53You've got it right, Daphne. It is Mission: Impossible.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Over to you, Sophie.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Who played the title role
0:08:56 > 0:09:00in the 1980s TV drama "Shine on Harvey Moon"?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06I don't know Kenneth Cranham.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10I have, I think, heard of Kenneth Connor and Kenneth More.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15I'm drawn to Kenneth More, so I'll say Kenneth More, Jeremy.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17It's not Kenneth More.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Kenneth Cranham is the answer that we were looking for.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Sorry! Daphne has a chance to pull ahead.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Daphne, how old was the Hollywood star Steve McQueen
0:09:27 > 0:09:31at the time of his death in 1980?
0:09:34 > 0:09:40I... Yes, I think he was, erm, 50.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45I mean, he had quite a long fight against cancer, didn't he?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47I would say 50.
0:09:47 > 0:09:5050 is correct.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52OK, Sophie, you need to get this one right.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55At the age of 73, David Seidler became the oldest winner
0:09:55 > 0:10:01of a Best Original Screenplay Oscar for his work on which film?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09I haven't heard the name
0:10:09 > 0:10:12in connection with Shakespeare in Love.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16And I've seen The King's Speech recently,
0:10:16 > 0:10:20but I can't remember that name in connection with that.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24But I'm more drawn to that than Chariots of Fire.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- Sorry, can I have the name again, please?- David Seidler.- Seidler...
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Best Original Screenplay Oscar.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Best Original Screenplay.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37Now I'm talking myself out of what I was first drawn to,
0:10:37 > 0:10:43because Shakespeare in Love was a very good screenplay.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46I'll go for Shakespeare in Love,
0:10:46 > 0:10:51just because it was an excellent original screenplay.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- Do you know, Daphne? - Well, it's not Chariots of Fire
0:10:55 > 0:10:57because that's Colin Welland.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00I would've gone for The King's Speech.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03It is The King's Speech, Sophie.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- Sorry! Go on, Judith. - He had a stammer himself.- Did he?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Yes.- I didn't know that. - Yes. As a boy.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13And he obviously had a long career in film and then came back?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17That, I don't know. All I know is he had a stammer, so he wrote it.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Brilliant film.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Daphne, well done. Sorry, Sophie, you've been knocked out.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25You won't be in the final and Daphne will.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Both of you, come and rejoin your teams.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33What can you do now, Alison? Is there any legal remedy?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- Could you subpoena them or something?- Appeal!
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Appeal!- Yes!
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Just press on. You have lost two brains, but you're not out of it.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I'm thinking somebody's going to like that.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- That would be you, Ali. - That was going to be you, wasn't it?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Yes.- Shall we try?- All right. - Happy?- Yes.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- I'll take Arts & Books. - Against which Eggheads?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04I'd like to play Chris, please.
0:12:04 > 0:12:10OK, so Alison from Solicitous versus Chris on Arts & Books, down the end of the table there.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17It's Arts & Books. Are you reading anything good at the moment, Chris?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- No.- Not The History of Trains, or anything?
0:12:21 > 0:12:24If I don't know it by now, I never will do!
0:12:24 > 0:12:26I'll ask each of you three questions on Arts & Books.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- Alison, that sounds encouraging, doesn't it?- Doesn't it just?
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- Would you like the first or the second set?- First, please.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41Here's your first question, Alison. Jacob Black is a major character in which series of books?
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Well, I don't think it's the Famous Five.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56And I've read all the Harry Potter books and seen all the films,
0:12:56 > 0:12:59and I think that...
0:12:59 > 0:13:03..he's Sirius Black in Harry Potter,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06so I'm going to go for Twilight.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09You could've been caught on that one, couldn't you? Well done.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Twilight is correct.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Anyone here read Twilight?- ALL: No.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- It's for teenagers. - Sure, but sometimes people do.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Harry Potter - lots of people read that. No-one read it?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I've not read it, no. I think he's the werewolf character,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- the love rival.- He's frightfully good-looking.- Is he?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Takes his shirt off a lot in the films.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Judith says the main character is frightfully good-looking.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Does that make you feel like reading it?
0:13:34 > 0:13:38More of a disincentive, I would think, Jeremy!
0:13:38 > 0:13:44Here's your first question. In which century was the author JRR Tolkien born?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Ahh...
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Well, he served on the Western Front in the First World War, didn't he?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Which some people say gave him some of the inspirations
0:13:56 > 0:13:59for the darker passages in the Lord of the Rings.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03So to have done that, he must've been born,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06unless he lied about his age to get into the army...
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Er, when did he die?
0:14:09 > 0:14:14Yes, very last knockings of the 19th century, Jeremy.
0:14:14 > 0:14:1719th is the right answer. Kevin's very good on his dates.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- 1892.- Maybe that's why Kevin hasn't been picked yet!
0:14:21 > 0:14:24OK, Alison, your second question.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27"The redbreast whistles from a garden croft
0:14:27 > 0:14:30"and gathering swallows twitter in the skies"
0:14:30 > 0:14:34are the final lines of which John Keats poem?
0:14:40 > 0:14:45We recently visited Keats' house in Hampstead...
0:14:47 > 0:14:51..and I think that the answer is Ode to Autumn.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Very good play. You're quite right.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Ode to Autumn is right. Two out of two. Well done.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Chris, The Walking Man,
0:14:58 > 0:15:03a bronze sculpture of a male body without arms or a head,
0:15:03 > 0:15:07is a work by which artist, born in 1840?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Ahh.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Henri Matisse was a painter.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Degas did do a bit of sculpture but was better known as a painter.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25But Auguste Rodin was a sculptor and made bronzes and things.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29I'll go with Auguste Rodin. The dates are right, as well.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31The correct answer is Auguste Rodin.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Well done. The Walking Man.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36On we walk. Here we go, Alison.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40"Zog" and "Stick Man" are books by which children's author?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Julia Donaldson
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Spot on. Well done. It is.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- Have you read any of them recently? - No!
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Or at all!
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Chris, The Thread, released in 2011
0:15:59 > 0:16:02and set in the Greek city of Thessaloniki,
0:16:02 > 0:16:05is the third novel by which author?
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Mm, that's interesting. Are we talking Ancient Greece or...
0:16:13 > 0:16:16..the interesting First-World-War times in Thessaloniki?
0:16:16 > 0:16:21Erm... I don't think it's Louise Bagshawe.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26I don't think it's Victoria Hislop. I'll have to go with Cecelia Ahern.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I think Judith doesn't like that answer. Who is it?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- It's Victoria Hislop.- It is indeed.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36You got it wrong, Chris. You are knocked out by Alison.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Well done. You've got someone there in the final.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42If you both come back, we will play on.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47Solicitous have lost two brains, but the Eggheads have lost a brain from the Final Round.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49The last subject for you is Sport.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Is that good?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- Jonathan we all said.- OK.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- I'm designated Sports. - OK, Jonathan. Against which Egghead?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Pick Judith.- ALL: Judith.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04I think we'll take Hobson's Choice - Judith, please!
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- SHE GROANS - Starting to be painful, isn't it?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11It's my third Sport in as many games, I think.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- But you won the last one. - And the one before that.- Indeed!
0:17:14 > 0:17:17She's reading the back pages a lot.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22So Jonathan from Solicitous versus Judith from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Just to make sure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- You've got a really interesting CV, if I may say so.- Thank you.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32So, solicitor and then priest?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36That's right, yes. I was a solicitor in private practice for ten years,
0:17:36 > 0:17:40and I've been a parish priest since 1997.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44What made you change, from one extreme to the other?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47I don't think they're quite extremes. They're both clerical.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- One is holy, then.- Well, yes.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52So maybe God has a part to play in that.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55There's a vocational element to it.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59It felt the right decision and it still feels the right decision to have switched.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03You also have sporting connections, not least with Portsmouth Football Club.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05I'm currently chaplain at Portsmouth Football Club.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Do you pray for injured players, and before games or what?
0:18:09 > 0:18:13The chaplaincy team is more a sort of spiritual safety net,
0:18:13 > 0:18:18trying to let players know there's something greater than football,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20even though they may not think it!
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Do you have to be a supporter to do that job?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25It does help. I go to games and I do enjoy it,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- and I do support Pompey, so that comes naturally.- OK.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31They've had their ups and downs, haven't they?
0:18:31 > 0:18:36Of course. We've had some highs, we've got a few lows, but we shall come through them.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Best of luck to you in this round. Three questions, multiple choice.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Judith is smarting because you chose her, which is encouraging.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49I'll have the second set, please.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56We throw to you first, Judith. Which team won the 2011 Rugby Union World Cup?
0:19:00 > 0:19:05I'm completely baffled. Erm... Was it in New Zealand?
0:19:05 > 0:19:09I'm thinking aloud rather than asking you. Erm...
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Who won it? God Almighty.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Er, South Africa.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16No, no. Jonathan?
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- It was New Zealand. - It was New Zealand, Judith.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Your chance to take the lead.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27Which role did Graham Gooch usually perform for the England cricket team?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Right, yes, I know a bit of cricket.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40Graham Gooch may still be the highest-scoring batsman
0:19:40 > 0:19:42in English Test Cricket.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44He wasn't a wicketkeeper.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I can eliminate bowler. He was an opening batsman.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Opening batman is quite right. Well done.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53The Challengers are ahead.
0:19:53 > 0:19:59What was, Judith, Sergey Bubka's personal best
0:19:59 > 0:20:02in the outdoor pole vault?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- In the pole vault? - The pole vault.
0:20:11 > 0:20:17Well, a metre is slightly more than three feet, so three, six, 18,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19so more than 18 feet.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23More than 21 feet and more than 27 feet.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27A room is about eight feet.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Three, six, 18... I should think it's probably...
0:20:31 > 0:20:34I wonder if it could be seven.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38I think he can just get to seven metres.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40So, your answer is...
0:20:40 > 0:20:45- Er, I think it's -- The middle one? - No, I think it's six metres.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Six...- You've got to give me an answer from the screen.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- Well, 6.14, then.- OK.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- You're right.- Oh, phew. - That was jammy! That was jammy.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00OK, Jonathan, your question. Which Premier League football team
0:21:00 > 0:21:05did Mario Balotelli join in 2010?
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Mario Balotelli. Yes, he's an Italian striker.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15I'm going to eliminate Manchester United.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19I think currently he plays for Manchester City.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Whether he had a spell at Chelsea...
0:21:21 > 0:21:25I think I'm talking myself out of it. I'll go for Manchester City.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Manchester City is the right answer. Well done.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Judith, your question. If you get this wrong, you are out.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36In which weight division did the Welsh boxer Nathan Cleverly
0:21:36 > 0:21:40retain his world title in October 2011?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46I think that was Welterweight.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51You said that with conviction, almost as if you were at the match.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- I wasn't!- It was a guess, wasn't it? - Absolutely.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- It's Light Heavyweight, Judith. You've got that wrong.- I'm out.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01You are out on Sport.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Jonathan, well done.- Thank you. - The vicar is through to the final.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08You took on one of the Eggheads and emerged triumphant. Good news for our Challengers.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13This is what we have been playing towards,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16it is time for the Final Round, which is general knowledge.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:19 > 0:22:21won't be allowed to take part.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26Sue and Sophie from Solicitous, and Judith and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:30 > 0:22:35Alison, Michael and Jonathan, you are playing to win Solicitous £5,000.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36Kevin, David and Daphne,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38you playing for something that money can't buy -
0:22:38 > 0:22:40the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47The questions are all general knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51So, Solicitous, the question is, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- They are!- Shall we find out?
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- Do you want to go first or second? - We'd like to take the first set.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Good luck. Here we go.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07Which Scottish city gives its name to a soft and crumbly type of confectionary rock
0:23:07 > 0:23:09made with cream of tartar?
0:23:14 > 0:23:19- Right. OK, they're all in Scotland. - They're all in Scotland, yes. Er...
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I mean, confectionary,
0:23:22 > 0:23:26it makes me think of Edinburgh rock, that pastel-coloured rock.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30There is definitely a thing called Edinburgh rock.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33What about Inverness? I've got...
0:23:33 > 0:23:38Well, I don't recall any sweet thing coming from Inverness,
0:23:38 > 0:23:39and certainly not Aberdeen.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43I remember on holidays, when I went to Edinburgh, we had it.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47- I didn't like it very much, but I recall it.- Like eating chalk!
0:23:47 > 0:23:51- BOTH: Go on, then. - I think our answer's going to be Edinburgh rock, Jeremy.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Edinburgh is the right answer. Well done.- Well done.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56OK, your question, Eggheads.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58The word "tantony"
0:23:58 > 0:24:02is used to refer to the smallest in a litter of which creatures?
0:24:05 > 0:24:06- Pig.- Yes.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- Can we have a spelling? - T-A-N-T-O-N-Y.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13The word "tantony".
0:24:13 > 0:24:16That is a pig. Or pigs.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19It's sort of St Anthony. It's a contraction.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23- Is that right?- Yes.- Why would they call the smallest pig St Anthony?
0:24:23 > 0:24:27I don't know! But I know what the derivation is!
0:24:27 > 0:24:30You are right. It is pigs.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34- Did you know that one?- ALL: No. - It was tricky!- It was a hard one.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36OK, here we go with your second.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Anne of Bohemia, born in 1366,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42married which English king?
0:24:46 > 0:24:50So that would've been about 13...
0:24:52 > 0:24:55..80 that she got married.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57So that's one of the earlier kings.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Richard II was a House of...
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- He immediately preceded Richard III, didn't he?- Yes.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06So he's too late.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11Henry IV was a Plantagenet, wasn't he?
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Yes.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15So I'm not very sure about that,
0:25:15 > 0:25:19but I would think sort of medi...
0:25:19 > 0:25:24- ..Edward III.- It's sort of in the medieval era, isn't it?
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Edward III...
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Have you got any better ideas?- No.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- Go with that.- We're not sure about this one, Jeremy,
0:25:31 > 0:25:35but we're going to go with Edward III.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37I'm sorry, Edward III is the wrong answer.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40The answer is Richard II.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43And so the Eggheads can pull ahead.
0:25:43 > 0:25:49"We Found Love" was a UK number-one single in 2011 for which female singer?
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- It's Rihanna, isn't it, with Calvin Harris?- I think it is.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00That was Rihanna who did that, with Calvin Harris.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03You're playing very confidently. It is Rihanna.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07So you need to get this one right.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09If you get this wrong, the contest is over.
0:26:09 > 0:26:15The Yemeni woman Tawakkol Karman
0:26:15 > 0:26:19was a joint recipient of which Nobel Prize in 2011?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- A Yemeni woman.- Mm.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Mike?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Yemeni...
0:26:32 > 0:26:37- I've got no idea.- I don't think it was the Peace Prize.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Wasn't that - - Wasn't it Obama that got that?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44He could well have done. That's often the way it works for American presidents.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47What are you drawn to, Jonathan?
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- It seems unlikely, but I'm drawn to Chemistry.- So was I.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- I'm thinking - - That she was working abroad or...?
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Yeah. I couldn't swear to it, but I think that's...
0:26:59 > 0:27:03If I had to pick one, which we do, I would go for Chemistry.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- Well, have you got an inkling there? - I've got an inkling.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Go with that, because I've got nothing.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13We've got some problems here, Jeremy.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17We don't really know. We don't think it's Peace.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20We've got a vague inkling on my left that it's Chemistry,
0:27:20 > 0:27:22and that's our best hope.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- We're going to go for Chemistry. - Chemistry is your answer.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27If you've got this wrong the contest is over.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30You ruled out Economics. Didn't talk about that.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33No Yemeni economists?
0:27:33 > 0:27:36There was a bit of trouble in Yemen. Would any of you Eggheads know?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Peace.- It's Peace. - Peace is the answer.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42I'm sorry. It's not Chemistry.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- It was the one we were convinced it wasn't.- No way back, I'm afraid!
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Eggheads, congratulations, you have won.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Let's just test them out. She shared it with somebody, who was it?
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- Erm...- Two Liberians.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who's the Liberian President.- Yes.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07And another Liberian activist,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10whose name is something like Leymah Gbowee.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14You're pretty much there with it. It think it is Leymah Gbowee.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Well played, Eggheads.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20- Really great to have you on-board. - Thank you for having us.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Solicitous.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25The Eggheads have done what comes naturally. They still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30You won't be going home with £5,000. The money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Eggheads, congratulations. Playing really well today.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Who will beat you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:39Join us next time to see if a new team have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41£6,000 says they don't.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Till then, goodbye.
