0:00:04 > 0:00:08These 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.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz 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 > 0:00:35And taking on our awesome quiz champions today are...
0:00:36 > 0:00:38This team of old school friends
0:00:38 > 0:00:41attended King's College in London together
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and now regularly meet up to play football and socialise together.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm George. I'm 25, and I'm a luxury travel consultant.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Chris. I'm 25, and I'm a PhD student.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Henry. I'm 26, and I'm a lawyer.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm John. I'm 26, and I'm a journalist.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Josh. I'm 26, and I'm a financial consultant.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04George and team, welcome.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09- Thank you.- You were at school together - doing the same subjects, or what?- Um...not really.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12In the same classes, the same sports teams, and then as a group of friends
0:01:12 > 0:01:16we just sort of came together and haven't really split up yet.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20That's good, particularly if it doesn't happen this afternoon! How's the quizzing going?
0:01:20 > 0:01:25It's all right. We've done a few quizzes every now and then, recently, to prep up for the show.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29But we've been doing quizzes since we were 16, 17 years old.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31We have this fantasy that we are big on campuses.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35We don't have any evidence, but we like to believe that students are watching.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39I can speak for Josh and myself, because we were at university together.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- We spent a lot of time watching the show.- Really?- Yeah.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43OK, it's official, everyone.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46So, every day, there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51However, if our challengers fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55So, Kings of Kings, the Eggheads have won the last five games,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59which means £6,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Would you like to try?- Yes, please.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04First head-to-head battle is on film and television.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06So, who would like to take this?
0:02:06 > 0:02:07That's going to be George.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08George?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11OK, a team captain against which Egghead?
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Good question. >
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Barry?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Maybe Barry, I don't know.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18Could be Barry.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20If you think Barry...
0:02:20 > 0:02:22We're going to go with Barry.
0:02:22 > 0:02:28All right, so it's George from Kings of Kings versus Barry. Film and TV?
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Strong for you?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Er, it's getting stronger.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33OK, versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40What are you up to, George, professionally?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44I work as a luxury travel consultant to Latin America,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47so I put together honeymoons and anniversary trips,
0:02:47 > 0:02:51and luxurious trips to a very interesting continent.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- And business has withstood the crash, has it?- Very much so.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Always growing and very interesting.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Do you do any of those trips, Barry, with Mrs Barry?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Yes, I went to South America a couple of years ago, to Peru.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Loved every minute of it.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- OK, and Peru came up the other day, didn't it?- Comes up quite often.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11That's why you were there, I expect.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15I'll ask you each three multiple-choice questions in turn.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Whoever answers the most correctly is the winner.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21George, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22I'll go second, please.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27OK, film and TV. Here we go, Barry.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Kelly, Jill and Sabrina were the first names
0:03:31 > 0:03:35of the original main characters of which 1970s TV series?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Oh, they were the inimitable Charlie's Angels.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44They were indeed Charlie's Angels.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47OK, George. Your question.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52Which TV location is bounded by Rosamund Street and Viaduct Street?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58That's an interesting question.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03I don't know the answer. I don't think it would be Holby General.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Um...
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I think I'm going to go with Albert Square.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10No, that's not right.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12It is Coronation Street.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13OK.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Barry, your second question.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19In which of his films does Arnold Schwarzenegger deliver the line,
0:04:19 > 0:04:20"Hasta la vista, baby"?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32I think in Terminator one, Arnold Schwarzenegger said 80 words.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33And yet it's an iconic role.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36But he says, "Hasta la vista, baby,"
0:04:36 > 0:04:38I'm pretty certain that's in Terminator 2.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43Terminator 2 is the right answer, well done - Judgement Day.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46OK, George, it's Judgement Day for you if you don't get this right.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49In order to qualify for the Oscars,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51a film generally needs to have played
0:04:51 > 0:04:54for at least one week in which city?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Well, I'm quite a big fan of cinema -
0:05:00 > 0:05:02I listen to some podcasts and reviews.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07I'm pretty confident that would be a local cinema in Los Angeles.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10You're absolutely right, well done.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12So, you have a point now.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15And we wait to see whether Barry takes the round with this answer.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20Barry, what was the surname of the woolly hat-wearing Benny
0:05:20 > 0:05:23played by Paul Henry in the TV soap, Crossroads?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Ooh, I've got to dredge this one out of my mind.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Benny Dutton...
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Benny Mason...
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Dutton and Mason don't ring any bells,
0:05:37 > 0:05:40but Benny Hawkins does, so I'll go for Hawkins.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- Benny Hawkins, you think. Do you young guys know?- No idea.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Chris is nodding, so...
0:05:45 > 0:05:48It was a real collector's item, I must say.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50It went on for years, didn't it? How long did it go on for?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I think the first incarnation was about 20-odd years,
0:05:53 > 0:05:54then it came back again.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I think it came back, briefly, and then...
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Who was the famous ginger-haired lady?
0:05:59 > 0:06:04- Noele Gordon.- That's right. - Meg Richardson, Mortimer, whatever.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08To put you out of your misery, Barry, it is correct. Well done.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10You're in the final. George, sorry.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12You've been knocked out by our Egghead,
0:06:12 > 0:06:15so please, both of you re-join your teams.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21So, we have a situation where the Kings of Kings have lost one brain - the captain's brain.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25The next subject is science.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Who's the scientist? - Literally, Chris.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- It's got to be Chris. - Literally, the scientist. OK.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Against which Egghead?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Um, any thoughts?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Daphne?
0:06:36 > 0:06:37I think...Dave.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Dave or Daphne.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- Could be...- What about Dave?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44We don't know. Um...
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Your pick.- Or Kevin.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Nah.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I think we'd like to go with "Tremendous Knowledge" Dave.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54OK, so it is Chris from Kings of Kings
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- versus "Tremendous Knowledge" Dave. Have you done science, Dave? - Yeah, I lost.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01OK. There we are, that's quite encouraging.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02To ensure there's no conferring,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05would you please take your positions in the question room.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Somebody said, Chris, you are literally the scientist.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14Um, yeah, I guess so. I work in a lab all day every day,
0:07:14 > 0:07:19um, studying things you can't see from the naked eye.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21That sounds to me like you ARE a scientist!
0:07:21 > 0:07:24If there's any doubt about it, I think you probably are one.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Do you wear a white lab coat?
0:07:25 > 0:07:30I wear a white lab coat, lab specs, the whole thing.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32That's as close to a scientist as we've got for quite some time.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34OK, that's good.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- What have you been studying? - I study chemical biology,
0:07:38 > 0:07:42so I'm studying the mechanism that the malaria parasite uses
0:07:42 > 0:07:44to invade red blood cells,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48um, upon infection by a mosquito.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51OK, so three questions on science. Right up your street.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- Chris, you can choose the first or the second set.- First, please.
0:07:57 > 0:08:04Here is your question. Nickel metal hydride, often abbreviated to NiMH,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06is found what everyday items?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Well, I've never heard of it.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17I know a little bit about nickel, chemistry, but...
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I think I'll go with rechargeable batteries.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Spot on, it is correct.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Rechargeable batteries.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26OK, Dave, your question.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31What name is given to the propulsive pressure exerted by a rocket?
0:08:33 > 0:08:37I don't think it's shove or lunge. I think it's thrust.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39It is thrust, well done.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41One each. Chris.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Which part of a flower produces pollen?
0:08:50 > 0:08:56Well, I am a chemist, so biology is a little big for me.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Erm, well, in terms of flowers, anyway.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I'm certain it's not petal.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Erm...
0:09:04 > 0:09:09I'm torn between stigma and anther.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Anther?
0:09:10 > 0:09:14It's a real 50/50 now.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I think I'll go with anther.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21You've got it, well done. Anther it is - two out of two.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Good play. Over to you, Dave.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Second question. Peccaries, found in the Americas,
0:09:26 > 0:09:30are mammals which closely resemble which other creature?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Can you spell it for me, please?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36P-E-C-C-A-R-I-E-S
0:09:36 > 0:09:41I don't think it's cat, and I don't think it's goat. I'm going for pig.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Dave, well done. Pig is correct.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45This is a close round. Back to you, Chris.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47The scientist.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49What was the nickname of Intelsat I,
0:09:49 > 0:09:53the communications satellite launched in 1965?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01I've never heard of it.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05I was minus 21 on that date.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I was zero, so don't remind me. That was the year I was born.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13Erm, I don't think they'd call it Early Bird.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Some sort of satellite would look like a star in the sky,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20so I'm going to go with Morning Star.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Let's find out from somebody who might have been aware at the time.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Early Bird.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Early Bird. And significant, because in those days,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31throwing something up into space was an amazingly rare event.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Mmm, it was the first commercial communications satellite, yeah.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38OK, sorry, Chris.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40So, third question to Dave.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43If he gets this right, he is in the final.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47In 2011, the scientist Steven Sirr used CAT scan technology
0:10:47 > 0:10:51to build his version of what type of instrument?
0:10:57 > 0:11:02Hmm, I've not heard of this at all. Right...
0:11:02 > 0:11:03It's a pure guess.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Just because of the nature of the value of it,
0:11:07 > 0:11:11I would go for a Stradivarius violin.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Very good play, that. You've got it absolutely right.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Well done. It is a Stradivarius violin.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Anyone know the history of that?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20He was using... What was he doing? A CAT scan?
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Well, I assume this is part of the much-vaunted 3D-printing techniques
0:11:24 > 0:11:26that are gradually coming in now.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30They say eventually you'll be able to produce more or less anything.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Print a shoe box, or print a shoe. - Yeah.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Well, you got it, Dave. Well done. Chris, I'm sorry.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38You've been knocked out. No shame in that.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41"Tremendous Knowledge" does have some tremendous knowledge.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Please, both of you come back and re-join your teams.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49So, as it stands, the challengers have now lost two brains,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52the Eggheads have not lost a brain yet from that final round.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54The next subject is Arts and Books.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Who would like this?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59THEY CONFER
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- I think Josh.- Really?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03OK, against who? Who do we think?
0:12:03 > 0:12:07We want to leave our strongest people to the final round.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11I think I'll be stronger on general knowledge than Arts and Books, honestly.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Yeah, I'll do it.- Really?- Yeah.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- John. Before you go, John, choose an Egghead.- Um...
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Let's see.- I think Chris.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Er, Chris.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Arts and Books, this was what you played last time.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28As long as it's not "chick lit" or that rubbish, I'm quite happy.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31John from Kings of Kings versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Please go to the question room now.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36John, tell me about what you do.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Er, I work for a political news website.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Is it fun?- Yeah, it's great fun. I really enjoy it.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47It's that whole move, isn't it? People not reading newspapers - just Twitter and all that.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Yeah, definitely. We've only been going since 2007 ourselves,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53so we're a bit of a trend-setter in that respect, I suppose.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58- And does it make money, or are you still at the early stages there? - No, I think we make money now.
0:12:58 > 0:13:04- Erm, I'm more on the editorial side than the sales stuff, but...- Do you go into the House of Commons a lot?
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Er, I go a bit.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09I've started going a bit more as time's gone on and I've got a bit more experience.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12I go to a lot of meetings with MPs.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16I guess, in a way, we're seeing the new generation of journalists, aren't we?
0:13:16 > 0:13:17- This is the future.- Of course.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21OK, well I'll ask each of you three questions on Arts and Books.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- John, choose the first or second set.- I'll go first.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Here we go. Good luck, John.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32What is commonly used to thin artists' acrylic paint?
0:13:35 > 0:13:39I don't think you would use sand to thin something.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44Er, nor, I don't think you would use oil with acrylic paint,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46because you have oil paints.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48I'm going to go with water.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Water is quite right, well done.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Chris, your question. Arts and Books.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58In a theatre, a cyclorama, usually shortened to "cyc",
0:13:58 > 0:14:00is most likely to be seen where?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07It's the wall at the back of the stage, Jeremy.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Is that right?- It is, yeah. - Why is it called that?
0:14:10 > 0:14:15You can light it in such a way that it looks like it's in the open air.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19It is at the back of the stage, you're quite right. Well done.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20What are the two girls holding
0:14:20 > 0:14:24in John Singer Sargent's famous 1886 painting,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26"Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose"?
0:14:31 > 0:14:35I have absolutely no idea, but...
0:14:35 > 0:14:41it sounds like... Well, you said it was two girls.
0:14:41 > 0:14:47I suppose girls play with dolls, so I'm going to go with China dolls.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51I totally understand why you did that, but it's Japanese lanterns.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54So, Chris can pull ahead.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58The photographer Don McCullin is best known for his images of what?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04McCullin?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Did he not take the iconic image
0:15:07 > 0:15:09of the US marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11In which case, it's warfare.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15It is warfare, but is that the one he took?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- Right answer, but the wrong reason. - He didn't take that image, no.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- That was Joe Rosenthal. - That was Joe Rosenthal, Barry says.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Oh, it was. Aha. - John, it seems unfair.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Chris has got the right answer
0:15:25 > 0:15:27with false memory.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29So, you need to get this one right, John.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34What is the name of the fictional Sussex village that is the setting
0:15:34 > 0:15:37for Stella Gibbons's comic novel, Cold Comfort Farm?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I have, again, I have no heard of this.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Erm, but the one which sounds to me
0:15:49 > 0:15:54most like it would be a real town is Wittering,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56so I'm going to go with Wittering.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58The answer is Howling.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00John, sorry. Howling is the answer.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03You've been knocked out by Howling Chris the train.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05LAUGHTER
0:16:05 > 0:16:10- You look really happy, Chris. - East and West Wittering, I actually know where they are.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Exactly, that's not a made-up place, is it?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16OK, so do both of you come back and re-join your teams, please.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21The challengers have lost three brains. The Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25But believe me, teams have come back from this point and won, really.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29And the next round is History. Which of you would like this round?
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- What do we think?- I think you've got the best overall knowledge,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- so I think Josh.- OK.- Josh?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Are we sure?- Yeah, absolutely.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40And it has to be Daphne, this time.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- Daphne or Kevin, so it has to be Daphne.- Daphne or Kevin.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Kevin never loses on History, so...
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- Daphne's pretty good too.- You will have to face Kevin at some point.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52If you don't dislodge him, he will be in the final.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Two brains will be better than one, if we get that far.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Kevin is a history buff.- I think it would be suicidal to take him on.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02So, Josh from Kings of Kings against Daphne from the Eggheads, on History.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05And then we'll do the final after that. Do go to the question room.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12- Josh, you are a financial consultant, is that right?- Correct. That's the short-hand version.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17- Meaning that you do, what, stocks and shares and stuff?- No, we don't do any trading ourselves.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19We tend to more advise companies
0:17:19 > 0:17:23on their relationships with the investment community,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25i.e. so our advice is completely independent.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29I see. And also, when you are free, and this is kind of crucial now,
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- you read historical books. - I enjoy historical books, yes,
0:17:33 > 0:17:35but my knowledge is specific and patchy,
0:17:35 > 0:17:38rather than broad and general.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42So, this is going to really depend on the questions, how this goes.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Daphne, in this game, is specific and patchy actually better
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- than broad and general, do you think?- Yes, I think so.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52And he's probably going to be very lucky!
0:17:52 > 0:17:56All right, let's see. I'll ask each of you three questions on History.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Josh, choose the first or the second set.- I'll take the first set of questions, please.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Here we go, and good luck, Josh.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08See if you can get into the final.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13Viscount Melbourne and Lord Salisbury were the first and last prime ministers, respectively,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15during the reign of which British monarch?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I'm relatively confident on this,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24because I did watch the Young Victoria film
0:18:24 > 0:18:26on a long, long flight a couple of months ago,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28so I'll go with Victoria.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30That's very handy, isn't it?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33It is Victoria, well done. Queen Victoria.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Daphne...
0:18:35 > 0:18:41At what time of day did the 1944 D-Day beach landings begin?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Gosh, I've never heard it.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Um...
0:18:51 > 0:18:55It's June, it's quite...
0:18:55 > 0:19:01Um, 6.30 - daylight. I don't know.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I guess.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Your guess is 6.30, is it?- Yes. - OK, you're right.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Well done.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Because it was the earliest moment we got the light?
0:19:10 > 0:19:15Yeah, well they'd been dropping paratroopers since about 3am.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17The naval bombardment opened up about 6am,
0:19:17 > 0:19:21and the first troops went ashore about 6.30am, yeah.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23OK, over to you, Josh.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26The Clean Air Act was passed in 1956,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29in response to what environmental hazard?
0:19:35 > 0:19:42Um, I think this is where pea soupers originate from
0:19:42 > 0:19:44and the concern about respiratory health,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47so I'm going with London smog, please.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50You're quite right. London smog it is, well done.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52See what happens to Daphne now.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Daphne, who was King of England
0:19:54 > 0:19:57when the Danes conquered the country in 1013?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03What's the date again?
0:20:03 > 0:20:051013.
0:20:05 > 0:20:081013...
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Ethelred the Unready.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16I wonder if the hint is in the name, there.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Was he just not ready?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21No, Unready was short for "unraed" and "raed" means "advice",
0:20:21 > 0:20:23so "unraed" means you don't take advice.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26His nickname was the king who didn't take advice.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29He didn't take advice. OK, well it is Ethelred the Unready, well done.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33How she does it... It's like a laser.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36OK, Josh, this is the big one.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39See if you can get this right, put some pressure on our Egghead.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Maybe she'll crack.
0:20:40 > 0:20:47From 1948 to 1957, Curtis LeMay was head of which section of the US military?
0:20:52 > 0:20:55I'm pretty certain that General Curtis LeMay
0:20:55 > 0:20:57was head of the bombing campaign in the Pacific
0:20:57 > 0:20:59during the Second World War
0:20:59 > 0:21:01and then developed the nuclear strategy
0:21:01 > 0:21:03in response to the Soviet threat,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05so I'm going with Strategic Air Command.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09I think that needs a round of applause. Very good.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Very good indeed. Strategic Air Command is quite right.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Daphne, the pressure is on you.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17If you get this wrong, you take the long walk.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21What was the name of the first English royal yacht,
0:21:21 > 0:21:25presented to Charles II on the restoration of the monarchy?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Oh!
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Well, it's not Katharine,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38but I can't make up my mind between the other two.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Um...
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Oh, dear.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- Henrietta. - Do you know, Josh, by any chance?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50I wasn't so quick to dismiss Katherine,
0:21:50 > 0:21:54but it would have been 50/50 - maybe I would have gone for Mary.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58You would have got it right. It is Mary, Daphne. There we go.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00APPLAUSE
0:22:00 > 0:22:04You've been cleared away by somebody who's very modest about his history knowledge.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- I think you played very well, Josh. - Thank you very much.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Daphne's out, you're in the final.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Come back to us and we'll play that final round.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14This is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17It's time for the final round, which as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:22:19 > 0:22:21to take part in this round.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24George, Chris and John from Kings of Kings,
0:22:24 > 0:22:28and also Daphne from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31So, how are you feeling, Henry and Josh?
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Um, I'm very pleased Josh won that round so I'm not here by myself!
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Yeah, and Henry, you're a lawyer. - I am, yeah.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- Training?- Yeah, another year to go.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- OK, hard work?- I should probably think about what I'm saying
0:22:44 > 0:22:45in case my employer's watching,
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- but pretty hard work, yeah. - Harder than this?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Er, not as nerve-wracking,
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- but we'll see. Ask me in an hour or so.- Let's see how you do.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57You're playing to win, Kings of Kings, £6,000.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Kevin, Dave, Chris and Barry,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:23:00 > 0:23:02the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08The questions are all general knowledge, you are allowed to confer.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10So, Kings of Kings, the question is -
0:23:10 > 0:23:13are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:13 > 0:23:16And do you want to go first or second, Henry and Josh?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18We're going to go first. Yeah, first, please, Jeremy.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Good luck to you, guys - here we go, first question.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28What colloquial term is used to describe an ordinary man
0:23:28 > 0:23:31behaving as if he were aristocratic?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I've never heard of any of those before.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Er, I mean, my instinct is saying Lord Muck, but...
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Lord Muck was my instinct too.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46That could just be because we heard it first.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50I mean, Lord is usually the kind of thing you use in those, kind of...
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- Maybe Sir Dribble... - Let's go for Lord Muck.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56- If you...- Lord Muck? - Lord Muck. Why not? We don't know.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58I can confidently say, Lord Muck.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Well done. It's right, Lord Muck is correct.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Right, Eggheads. Your first question.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05What is the term for the method
0:24:05 > 0:24:08by which a person can declare a change in his or her name?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Deed Poll.- Deed Poll.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16That's Deed Poll.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Deed Poll is quite right. Well done, Kevin.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Back to you, Kings of Kings.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26Vegas Vic, erected on the side of Las Vegas's Pioneer Club in 1951,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29is a 40-foot tall sign in the shape of what?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- Any ideas? - I don't think it's a cowboy,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39because the cowboy one is the Marlboro Man, isn't it?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Erm...
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- A soldier, I don't know. - Have you been to Vegas? - I haven't been to Vegas.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Erm, an astronaut?
0:24:46 > 0:24:50I mean, the '50s is when Vegas kind of started off.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52It's not just... Area 51, Nevada...
0:24:52 > 0:24:54I think we've got to go for astronaut.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57We'll go for astronaut, but again, we don't really know!
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Yeah, er, astronaut is our answer.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03No, it's not. It is cowboy, as a matter of fact.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05I don't know if the Marlboro Man is different.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- I guess he is.- Yeah, the Marlboro Man is on the poster.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Vegas Vic is a free-standing figure,
0:25:10 > 0:25:14standing on the end of a building, doing that, for some reason.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- What, moving his arm? - Yeah, with the thumb up.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19He's crossed at the ankles as well, the legs.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Looking very casual.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25So, you had the glimmer there, but not astronaut, cowboy. OK, Eggheads.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Catterick is the location
0:25:26 > 0:25:30of an important training centre for which uniformed service?
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- ALL: It's the Army. - Army. Yep.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- Yep, Catterick Camp is an Army base. - Army is your answer.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41It is correct, well done.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43So, third question.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46You need to get this right or the contest is over.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49In architecture, a hypostyle hall
0:25:49 > 0:25:53is an interior space whose roof rests on what?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Can you think back to your classics, Henry? Any Greek or Latin?
0:26:01 > 0:26:05What does "hypo" mean? Style, columns, stylistic...
0:26:05 > 0:26:08There was a hypocaust, wasn't there which was...?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- That was hippo...- Was it hippocaust?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Hypo... Can we think of anything with hypo?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- Anything else?- OK, but I mean...
0:26:16 > 0:26:19there were little columns, holding up the floor.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- It's just a thought.- Columns? - You want to go for columns?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Yeah.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Again, uncertain, but I think we're going to go for columns.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Ended up with columns.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30You're right.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Well done. You've got two out of three.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35BARRY: The most famous one
0:26:35 > 0:26:39is in Karnak, in Egypt, which I was in, last year.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42I like the way you solve the questions by actually going,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- physically, and looking at things, Barry.- It's the way to do it!
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- It sits on the top of the columns, does it?- Yes.- And hypo?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Hypo means "low", normally, doesn't it?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Under. As in hypodermic.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54Right, right.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58So the columns are under the roof that they're supporting.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01I see, OK. So, if you get this right, Eggheads,
0:27:01 > 0:27:05you've taken the contest, despite some good play from these guys.
0:27:05 > 0:27:12Hunding and Sieglinde are characters in which opera by Richard Wagner?
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- Die Walkure. - It's the Valkyrie, isn't it?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Yeah, they're not in either of the others.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26They're not in Gotterdammerung or Das Rheingold.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28They're in Die Walkure.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Die Walkure.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- Are they right, do you think? - Yeah, they look pretty confident.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36They are. Eggheads, you've got three out of three,
0:27:36 > 0:27:38so congratulations, you have won.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Very satisfying to see you get columns, there.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49If you hadn't, it would have ended the contest there, but you've done well.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- Saved some face.- Very much so. And played against all four of them here, that's never easy.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- Was it good. - Good fun. We gave it a go.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Commiserations, challengers. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:27:59 > 0:28:01and their winning streak continues.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £6,000, so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:12 > 0:28:14have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17£7,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
