0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads -
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The 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 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36And challenging our resident quiz champions today are Whiskeypedia.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40This team of old friends share very similar passions in life:
0:00:40 > 0:00:43sport, travel and, from their team name, one would assume...
0:00:43 > 0:00:45encyclopaedias? Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Duncan, I'm 36 and I'm a sales director.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Mark, I'm 36 and I'm a barrister.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Richard, I'm 36 and I'm a sales director.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Tim, I'm 38 and I'm an IT consultant.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Scott, I'm 36 and I'm a client accountant.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03- So, Duncan and team, welcome. - Hi.- Hi.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I said encyclopaedias but a bit of whisky as well, I gather?
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- Yes.- Yes, very much so.- So you quiz together, you drink together?
0:01:10 > 0:01:15Yep, the team was pretty much born as a pub quiz team
0:01:15 > 0:01:17and the name fitted with our other interest in life
0:01:17 > 0:01:18which is the whisky.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23OK, and how does it feel to be sat opposite these titans of quizzing?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I think if we told the truth, we'd have to go, so...fantastic!
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Good luck! Everyday there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:30 > 0:01:33for our challengers. However if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38So, Whiskeypedia, the Eggheads have won the last seven games
0:01:38 > 0:01:41which means that £8,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Arts & Books.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46So, challengers, who wants this?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- I'm not sure about me. - I'm not sure about me.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- I think we should go for Tim. Tim?- I'll take it.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- That's fine.- Tim? OK. From Australia, right?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- From Australia, yes. - Against which Egghead?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59You've got the whole range to pick from here.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Chris, maybe?- Take Chris. - I'll take Chris, yeah.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04OK, it's Tim from Whiskeypedia versus Chris
0:02:04 > 0:02:07from the Eggheads and just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:07 > 0:02:11would you please take your positions in our question room?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14OK, so I'm going to ask each of you three multiple-choice questions
0:02:14 > 0:02:16on Arts & Books in turn.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Tim, would you like first or second?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I think I'll go second, thanks, Jeremy.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28So, Chris, we start with you.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Arwen Undomiel is a character created by which writer?
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Ah, now I think we're talking Elvish here, aren't we?
0:02:40 > 0:02:41So it's JRR Tolkien.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44You're quite right, it is Tolkien. Well done.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Over to you, Tim.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49What is the name of the central little girl
0:02:49 > 0:02:52in Roald Dahl's book, the BFG?
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Is it...
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Ooh, that's a good question.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03The Roald Dahl books had many different English names
0:03:03 > 0:03:05generally for the characters.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10Not sure about Daisy. Or Megan.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Sophie, for me, seems like the right answer
0:03:13 > 0:03:15so I'm going to go with Sophie.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Sophie is the right answer, well done. OK,
0:03:18 > 0:03:20back to you, Chris, your second question.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Isaac Solomon, a receiver of stolen goods,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26is believed to be the inspiration for which Dickens character?
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Is it:
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Well, the original illustrations look like something
0:03:34 > 0:03:35out of Der Sturmer.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39They were total anti-Semitic caricatures and it was Fagin.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44Fagin is the right answer, well done. OK, over to you, Tim.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Who wrote the book Death Comes To Pemberley, a murder mystery
0:03:48 > 0:03:52using the characters from Jane Austen's novel, Pride And Prejudice?
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Is it:
0:03:56 > 0:04:00I do know a few of those novelists.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I think I'm going to go with PD James.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I know that Daphne will know this. Daphne?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- Yes, he's quite right, it's wonderful.- Is it, really?- Yes.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11She's a brilliant writer, isn't she?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13PD James is the right answer, Tim. Well done.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18Chris, whose painting Le Pigeon Aux Petit Pois
0:04:18 > 0:04:23was among several works stolen from the Paris Museum Of Modern Art
0:04:23 > 0:04:25in 2010? Was it:
0:04:28 > 0:04:30The Pigeon And The Little Peas.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Not Monet, I can't imagine an impressionist painting a pigeon
0:04:35 > 0:04:36and little peas.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Er...Paul Klee's a bit abstract.
0:04:40 > 0:04:46Er...I seem to remember reading that some Klees had been stolen
0:04:46 > 0:04:48so I'll go with Paul Klee.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- OK, you ruled him out as too abstract.- Mm.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- And then you went back to him?- Mm.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- He's all straight lines, Klee, isn't he?- Mm-hmm.- And squares.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- He takes a line for a walk. - Takes a line for a walk?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- Picasso's the answer, Chris. - Oh, all right.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Tim, get this right and you've beaten Chris
0:05:05 > 0:05:08and you're in the final round. Here we go.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11The medical student Philip Carey is the main character
0:05:11 > 0:05:14in which English novel? Is it:
0:05:17 > 0:05:22Not sure I've read either of any of those top...any of those novels.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28He was a medical student.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I'm going to go with The Good Soldier, I think.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I'm sorry, you're wrong, it's Of Human Bondage.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38OK, we get to Sudden Death, gentlemen,
0:05:38 > 0:05:39which means it gets a bit harder.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I don't give you multiple-choice alternatives. Chris, your question.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47Towel Day, which takes place on 25th May, celebrates the life
0:05:47 > 0:05:50and works of which science fiction author?
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Towel... Ah, yes. You always know where your towel is. Douglas Adams.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Douglas Adams is right.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I think Chapter Three of Hitchhiker's Guide says
0:05:59 > 0:06:00you have to know where your towel...
0:06:00 > 0:06:03You must always have a towel, or something. Yeah.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07OK, so Tim, to stay in now for you, your question.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Which Scottish born painter born in 1951 signed his early works
0:06:12 > 0:06:15under the real name of Jack Hoggan?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I'm just trying to think of some Scottish painters I know.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25But none of them really have a name similar
0:06:25 > 0:06:27or in relation to that in my mind.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31So I'm going to have to pass on that. I can't think of anyone.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35OK, let me just try the Eggheads as you passed. Eggheads?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Jack Vettriano.- It is Jack Vettriano. Most famous painting?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- The Singing Butler.- Butler on the beach.- The Singing Butler,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- which I think sold for three quarters of a million.- Yeah.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47So it was Jack Vettriano, Tim. Which means Chris has got it
0:06:47 > 0:06:50on Sudden Death. Through again on Arts & Books.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- What's that, four out of five now? - Three out of four.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Three out of four!
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Well, what can I say? You're playing well.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Both of you, please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02As it stands, the challengers
0:07:02 > 0:07:05have lost a brain but it's very early days, isn't it, Eggheads?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08You've seen them lose all their brains and then you've lost.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11So Eggheads have lost no brains, next subject for you is Geography.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Who would like Geography? Who's travelled?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Most of us have travelled quite well actually.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I think Mark's taking Geography.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20I'll go, I'll take Geography.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Mark, OK, good. Against which Egghead?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I'm going to go for - rightly or wrongly - Barry.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30OK, Mark from Whiskeypedia versus, rightly or wrongly, Barry.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Barry The Calculator from the Eggheads.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40OK, so three questions multiple-choice, Geography
0:07:40 > 0:07:43and, Mark, you can choose the first or second set.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Um...I'll go first, please.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Here we go. What colour is the cross on the flag of Denmark? Is it:
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Right, I'm trying to picture the flag of Denmark now.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Um, there's red on that flag, as with a number of
0:08:02 > 0:08:05the other Scandinavian countries
0:08:05 > 0:08:09and I'm trying to remember what the cross is in the foreground.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I don't want to mix it up with Norway or one of the others.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Um...
0:08:13 > 0:08:17With Denmark, I think I'm going to go for white.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22I think the Norwegian flag has blue and red
0:08:22 > 0:08:26and I think Danish flag is white.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27You've got it right, very well done.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30As I looked at it I thought it was easy and then as I looked
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I thought, no, you could get very confused.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36I was thinking blue and yellow. It's red and white, is it?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Yes, red and white.- Red and white. Red background, white cross.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- OK.- It's actually the oldest national flag in the world.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Oh, right. - It dates from the 12th century.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45OK, I can't give you any points for that, Barry
0:08:45 > 0:08:48but certainly good to hear it.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51What of the monetary unit of Argentina?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56It's unlikely to be the franc or the dollar
0:08:56 > 0:09:00and it's a Spanish-speaking country so I shall go for the peso.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Peso is the right answer, well done. Mark, your question.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07The name of the Middle Eastern region known as the West Bank
0:09:07 > 0:09:10refers to the West Bank of which river?
0:09:14 > 0:09:18OK, well they're all in the Middle Eastern region.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23I believe the River Jordan is in fact what we were referring to
0:09:23 > 0:09:27when we think of the West Bank so my answer is Jordan.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30You're good, Jordan is the right answer.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34OK, Barry over to you. What name is given to a branch of a river
0:09:34 > 0:09:38which flows away from the main stream? Is it:
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Oh. Well, the only one out of those three which makes any sense
0:09:46 > 0:09:49to me is a distributary so I shall go for that.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Distributary is the right answer, well done. OK, Mark,
0:09:52 > 0:09:54see if you can get this, put him under pressure.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Duart Castle, which is D-U-A-R-T,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Duart Castle, seat of the Clan MacLean,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02is on which Scottish island?
0:10:05 > 0:10:09I've had a few trips to Scotland and watched some interesting
0:10:09 > 0:10:13television programmes but having cycled through it,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I didn't really focus much on the West Coast
0:10:16 > 0:10:18but is it Mull, is it Rum, is it Skye?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Skye have got the Cuillin range
0:10:20 > 0:10:27but I'm not sure about the history of its peoples or of Mull or of Rum.
0:10:27 > 0:10:33I'm just going to hazard a guess and I'll go for Skye.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Anyone know, any Eggheads know?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- Skye.- I'd go for Mull. - Barry says Skye, Daphne says Mull.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Mull is the right answer.- Oh, gosh!
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Mull is the right answer so Barry, if you get this right,
0:10:46 > 0:10:47you've taken the round.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Which town in New South Wales is in a different time zone
0:10:51 > 0:10:53from the rest of the state? Is it:
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Well, I didn't know the answer to the last question
0:10:59 > 0:11:01and to match it, I don't know the answer to this one!
0:11:01 > 0:11:06So I know they have a strange half-an-hour time zone,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10time difference in part of Australia so obviously it must be this
0:11:10 > 0:11:12but I really don't know the answer to this one
0:11:12 > 0:11:15so I'll go for Wagga Wagga because I like the sound of it.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18OK. I'm told that the pronunciation is "wogger wogger".
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Wagga Wagga, then.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23And it's the wrong answer anyway, it's Broken Hill.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27You're equal after three questions, Mark. We go to Sudden Death, OK?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29So it's a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Which European river is spanned by the Vasco da Gama Bridge,
0:11:33 > 0:11:37one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the world?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41We're talking the Iberian peninsular, I believe,
0:11:41 > 0:11:45because Vasco da Gama, I believe he was an explorer.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50So I think I'm definitely thinking Spain or Portugal.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Um...which river is it that runs through Lisbon?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Because that's the only one I can think of at this moment.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Is it Tiber or it the Ti...?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I get the rivers in Rome and Lisbon mixed up.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11I'm going to go for the river that runs through Lisbon, is it the Tiber?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Tiber's my answer.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16You're getting towards it, but you're not quite there.
0:12:16 > 0:12:22The river Tagus. The River Tagus is the answer, located in Lisbon.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Barry, your question. This for the round.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Indira Gandhi International airport serves which Indian city?
0:12:28 > 0:12:34Well, Indira Gandhi was a famous Prime Minister of India.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Er...
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Would they have named it after the capital city?
0:12:38 > 0:12:42I don't know this one, but I would have to go for New Delhi.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46New Delhi is the right answer, Barry, you've taken the round.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Well fought, Mark, but you're out of the final. A big loss for your team.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52For Whiskeypedia. Barry, you will be in the final.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Please, both of you come back to the studio and rejoin your teams.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00So, as it stands, the challengers have lost two brains
0:13:00 > 0:13:04and the Eggheads have lost no brains from the final round.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06The next subject is Food & Drink, so who,
0:13:06 > 0:13:11from the challengers wants Food & Drink, and against which Egghead?
0:13:11 > 0:13:12I'll take Food & Drink.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- We haven't got Kevin here, so who do you want?- We'll go with Pat, please.
0:13:16 > 0:13:22OK, Duncan from Whiskeypedia vs Pat, on Food & Drink for the Eggheads.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions
0:13:25 > 0:13:29in the question room? Three questions on Food & Drink,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Duncan, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I'll go second.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Pat, your first question.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45A sipit used as an accompaniment to a dish is a piece of what?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50An accompaniment to a dish.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52My first thought was bread,
0:13:52 > 0:13:56something to do with wiping up the sauce, or dunking.
0:13:56 > 0:14:02It sounds like it could be bread, so I'll go for bread.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06It is bread. Well done. Over to you, Duncan.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11In a restaurant, what name is given to the section where the food is plated, ready for service?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Well, er, I was given this round on the basis that
0:14:19 > 0:14:23I eat with clients in lots of restaurants.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25So, I should know this.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29I am thinking that the waiters normally sweep past,
0:14:29 > 0:14:34picking up dishes as they go, so I will go with the pass.
0:14:34 > 0:14:40Very good. It is the pass. Good use of logic. So, one each, Pat.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Traditional Cumberland sausage and which other English foodstuff
0:14:44 > 0:14:49were given EU protected geographical indication status in 2011?
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Ah, I've heard of all three.
0:14:59 > 0:15:05I think the Cornish pasty, I think it made progress recently.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09And secured protected status.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14The Bedfordshire clanger, it's sort of a sausage with jam, I think.
0:15:14 > 0:15:20Yorkshire pudding is the ubiquitous, simple, oven-baked pudding.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24I will go for Cornish pasty.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Well done. Cornish pasty's the right answer, Pat. Over to you, Duncan.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33In Ireland, which fruits are traditionally gathered on the summer Sunday known as Fraughan Sunday?
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Well, again, nothing's leaping out at me from there. I don't know.
0:15:41 > 0:15:48I'm going to take... A guess, with bilberries.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50And bilberries is quite right. Duncan, you're playing well.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54OK, Pat, your third Food & Drink question.
0:15:54 > 0:16:00In the Korean delicacy, Sannakji, which creatures are cut up alive
0:16:00 > 0:16:03and served while still moving?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Well, they are very keen on eels in Japan.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13And those have been in the famous banking ads.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Octopuses have featured in Korean cinema.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26A famous scene where the actor ate a live octopus.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31Of those chaps, the one most likely to continue wriggling, I suspect,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34is the octopus. So I'll go for octopus.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38I can see looks of horror on the faces of your team-mates.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- I would feel sick! - Judith feels sick at the idea
0:16:41 > 0:16:46- that an octopus could be wriggling at the table on the plate.- Yes.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48And it is the right answer,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51so I'm afraid you could feel even sicker now.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Octopuses. OK.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Duncan, you need to get this one right,
0:16:55 > 0:16:59because he's playing quite well, understated Pat over there.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Who wrote the influential 1984 book on cooking,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05The Science And Law Of The Kitchen?
0:17:05 > 0:17:10The title is On Food And Cooking, The Science And Law Of The Kitchen.
0:17:16 > 0:17:22OK. I'm sorry to say, there's nothing that leaps out again.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26I did have an idea, and that's not one of the choices, so that's gone.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31But I'm going to go with Anthony Bourdain.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35And it's not Anthony Bourdain, it's Harold McGee.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Duncan, sorry, you've been pipped at the post.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Who can tell us about Harold McGee? Anybody know about him? No, nothing?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Nothing at all. No shame in not knowing.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48You won't be in the final round, I'm afraid, Pat will be there. He came through on Food & Drink.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Please, both of you, return to the studio.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56So, you've lost three brains, guys. Is this a crisis now?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Not yet. Secret weapon.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Secret weapon in reserve.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Eggheads have lost no brains from the final round.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06And our last subject before the final is Sport.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Hope you've got a good sport person.- I said I'd take Sport.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13OK, Richard, against which Egghead? Daphne or Judith?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Judith, please, Jeremy.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Richard from Whiskeypedia against Judith on Sport from the Eggheads.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Happy days!
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Yeah, happy days(!)
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Please both of you go to the question room now.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I'll ask you three questions on Sport in turn, and Richard,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32you can choose the first or second set.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Here we go, good luck. In which decade
0:18:39 > 0:18:43did Lester Piggott ride his first Epsom Derby winner?
0:18:46 > 0:18:51Well, I like lots of sports. Horseracing is not amongst them.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53So I'm off to a good start.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58Um, I know he's been around a long time.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02I know he started racing well before I was born.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06I don't think he's old enough to say 1930s,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09although I know jockeys can start very young.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15And I think he might be, he might have started
0:19:15 > 0:19:19slightly before I think he might have started, if that makes sense.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I'm going to take a guess on 1940s, Jeremy.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Judith, you like occasionally to have a bet on horses.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- I think it's the 1950s. - It is the 1950s. Richard, sorry.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39Judith, the footballer Mikel Arteta was born in which country?
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- How are you spelling Arteta? - A-R-T-E-T-A.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48A-R-T-E-T-A - could be anything.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54I don't know. Er, Portugal?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Portugal? OK, Richard? Do you know?
0:20:00 > 0:20:04I do know that one, Jeremy, because he could play for Spain,
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I don't think he's ever played for Spain.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10He's played in the Premier league for the last ten years. I'll go Spain.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Spain is the right answer. Who does he play for in the Premier league?
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Arsenal.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18OK, Richard, in Rugby Union, Cook Cup is a trophy
0:20:18 > 0:20:21contested between England and which other country?
0:20:21 > 0:20:25The Cook Cup, is it -
0:20:25 > 0:20:31I don't think it's Scotland, so it's between Australia and South Africa.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Because of the Captain Cook link, might be wrong,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39but I will go for Australia, Jeremy.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Let me check with Tim.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44I think it would be Captain Cook, so I would go with Australia.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Australia is the right answer. Well done. Good. Judith, onto you.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Which British athlete won a medal in the men's 110 metres hurdles
0:20:51 > 0:20:57at the 1991, 1993, and 1995 World Championships?
0:21:02 > 0:21:08I have absolutely no idea. Um, It's not Kriss Akabusi I don't think.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11I think he does some other kind of athletics.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14So it could be either John Regis or Tony Jarrett.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17And John Regis is a name I think I might have heard of,
0:21:17 > 0:21:18so I'm going to say him.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21John Regis. Is not the right answer.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26- It's actually Tony Jarrett. So your chance is...- Is fading!
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Well, your chance is fading. OK.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- Have you got one right yet, no?- No!
0:21:31 > 0:21:33You may not get another chance.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Richard, get this one right, you're through to the final.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Which medal did the cyclist Lance Armstrong win
0:21:39 > 0:21:43in the men's road time trial at the 2000 Olympic Games?
0:21:47 > 0:21:52OK, I know he was multiple Tour de France winner
0:21:52 > 0:21:58and came back from serious illness to win that race lots of times.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02I don't know what his Olympic record was, though.
0:22:02 > 0:22:09It's going to be a guess. I'm going to go for silver or gold.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I'm going to go silver, because I've never heard of him
0:22:12 > 0:22:15being described as an Olympic gold medallist. So I'll go silver.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Silver is wrong. It's bronze.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Almost unguessable, that.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26Judith, the Shaposhnikova is a move performed
0:22:26 > 0:22:30on which piece of gymnastics apparatus?
0:22:30 > 0:22:36This, to stay in, Judith. Is it -
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Shaposhnikova? I think it's the balance beam.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Why do you think it's that?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Because it's the magic right.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- Going down the right again? The Keppel rule?- Yes, the Keppel move!
0:22:49 > 0:22:51It's the uneven bars, Judith, I'm sorry.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Even, despite your history on Sport, three out of three wrong,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58you haven't done that many times.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Not many, mercifully.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Mercifully. So, you are out of the game. Well done, Richard.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08You have beaten our Egghead, so you will be in the final.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12And, if you both come back to us now, we will play that final round.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge,
0:23:17 > 0:23:19but those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:19 > 0:23:21can't take part in this round.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24So, Duncan, Mark and Tim, from Whiskeypedia,
0:23:24 > 0:23:29and Judith from the Eggheads, would you now please leave the studio?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Richard and Scott, good luck,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34you're playing to win Whiskeypedia £8,000.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something
0:23:37 > 0:23:41that money can't buy - the Eggheads' very precious reputation.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47This time the questions are all general knowledge
0:23:47 > 0:23:50and you are allowed to confer. So, Whiskeypedia, the question is,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- And, do you want to go first or second?- We will go first, please.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Final round, £8,000, first question.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05What name is given to the formation of balls of fluff
0:24:05 > 0:24:08on a fabric's surface, due to wear or rubbing?
0:24:13 > 0:24:18Felling sounds like something you might do walking or something.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22They have got machines that pull them off. Pilling. I will go with pilling.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- Shall we go with that? - We're going to go with pilling.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31Very decisive, and you're right. It is pilling. Well done, Scott.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35A very kind of domestic answer, there!
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Eggheads, in which London Park
0:24:37 > 0:24:42was the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain opened in 2004?
0:24:45 > 0:24:49(DAPHNE): Hyde Park.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53It was in Kensington Gardens, wasn't it?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55That's Hyde Park.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Hyde Park is the right answer. OK, your second question.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02The Time of Troubles, which ended in 1613,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05was a period in the history of which country?
0:25:11 > 0:25:14I said I was all right at history, but I don't know that.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20OK, I don't know why, but I want to go with France.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I was thinking China, actually.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25From all three countries. You?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Neither of us think Russia.- No.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32OK, I'd be happy to go with China if you think it's China. I don't know.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I'm now not thinking it's France.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I'm thinking it's between China and Russia.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I think we'll go China.
0:25:39 > 0:25:45OK, funny, it's the one you were least likely to choose all along.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49It's Russia. Anyone know what it was about, what was happening?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52When Boris Godunov became Czar of Russia
0:25:52 > 0:25:55and they were various false claimants to be the Czar,
0:25:55 > 0:25:58the false Dmitris, and it was a very nasty period.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Right, another politician question for you.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Which politician published the memoirs, You Can't Say That,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08in 2011?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13(PAT): I think that's Livingstone...
0:26:16 > 0:26:19I think it's Ken Livingstone.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21It's not Boris Johnson, is it?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Boris Johnson would never say you can't say that!
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Michael Portillo rather seems unlikely.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I think it's Ken Livingstone.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31OK, Ken Livingstone.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Ken Livingstone is your answer, and it is correct.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35So, you take the lead, Eggheads.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37And it puts you in a slightly dangerous position, guys.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41£8,000 up grabs. You need to get this one right.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Philomel is a poetic name for which bird?
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Philomel, which is P-H-I-L-O-M-E-L, as in Phil, O Mel?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55You're more likely to write a poem about a nightingale
0:26:55 > 0:27:00- than a dove or a robin. - I don't think it works.
0:27:02 > 0:27:09Philomel. I quite like nightingale. It sounds more...poetic.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14- It's between those two, and again, it's just a guess, I don't know.- OK.
0:27:14 > 0:27:15We'll go with nightingale, then.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19I love the way you discuss it a bit, and then bang,
0:27:19 > 0:27:23you're suddenly there. And it is working quite well.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Nightingale is the right answer. Well done.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30So there are some brows being dabbed backstage.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32It does mean, Eggheads, if you get this one right,
0:27:32 > 0:27:36you have taken the round and the contest.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39The conductor Arturo Toscanini played which orchestral instrument?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46THEY CONFER
0:27:49 > 0:27:52I would've thought it was a violin or a cello, but...
0:27:52 > 0:27:54I initially thought the violin but, funnily enough,
0:27:54 > 0:27:56trumpet's coming into my mind.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01- I can't believe it was the trumpet. - Cello?
0:28:03 > 0:28:06We're not too sure, but cello?
0:28:06 > 0:28:10Toscanini played the cello, you're quite right, Eggheads.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Congratulations, you have won!
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- It was that one question in the middle.- Yep.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Commiserations, the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27and their winning streak continues, getting quite impressive now.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31I'm afraid that means you won't be going home with the £8,000.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35So the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Who will beat you? Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:39 > 0:28:40have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43£9,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
