0:00:03 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is: can they be beaten?

0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers pit their wits

0:00:27 > 0:00:32against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain - the Eggheads.

0:00:32 > 0:00:36Taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today are Dynamo.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40They are all members of the same veterans' football team

0:00:40 > 0:00:45and admit they maybe aren't as dynamic as they used to be. Let's meet them.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49Hello, I'm Paul, I'm 61 and a marine scientist.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Mike, I'm 57 and I'm a charities management consultant.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Dave, I'm 48 and I'm a teacher.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Spencer, I'm 47 and a freelance writer.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Rob, I'm 49 and a graphic designer.

0:01:02 > 0:01:08- Paul and team, welcome. Good to see you. Football brought you together. - That's right.

0:01:08 > 0:01:15- What positions are you in? - Most of us are defenders now. Age has a relation to that.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18- The older you get, the further back you go.- The flat back five!

0:01:18 > 0:01:21More or less, yes!

0:01:21 > 0:01:25It's quite good to be in a defensive formation with this lot here.

0:01:25 > 0:01:30- Got any football players? No? - Not for a long, long time.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Are we surprised by that? - It's probably not a huge asset!

0:01:34 > 0:01:39You're quite creative - a graphic designer, a writer, a teacher.

0:01:39 > 0:01:44- So the juices are flowing here. - That's right. We have lots of different backgrounds.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48- We come from various disciplines. - And a bit of quizzing, too?

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Yeah, we do a little bit. Not professionals.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55OK, well, let's see how you do dynamically here.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers,

0:01:58 > 0:02:03but if they fail to win, the money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07So, Dynamo, the Eggheads have won the last 11 games,

0:02:07 > 0:02:12- which means £12,000 says you can't beat them. Want to try?- Yes!

0:02:12 > 0:02:15The first Head to Head battle is History.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Who would like this?

0:02:17 > 0:02:21- Everybody's looking at me! - Spencer with the shirt.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Spencer on History.

0:02:23 > 0:02:28- Which Egghead, Spencer?- Who would you recommend?- We don't know Dave.

0:02:28 > 0:02:34- Dave?- Dave.- Dave, please, yes. Go for Dave.- Rightio.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37So Spencer from Dynamo versus Dave, the unknown,

0:02:37 > 0:02:43although we're getting to know him better. Tremendous Knowledge Dave.

0:02:43 > 0:02:48To make sure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Spencer, you grew up in an interesting house.- Oh, I did, yes.

0:02:52 > 0:02:58I grew up in the house where Ian Fleming wrote several of his books.

0:02:58 > 0:03:03Moonraker and I think maybe parts of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as well.

0:03:03 > 0:03:10- In Kent, right down on the seashore. - Right. And is that a house with a plaque on the front?

0:03:10 > 0:03:16No, it hasn't, actually. Interesting point. It doesn't at all. It's quite anonymous, relatively small.

0:03:16 > 0:03:22I think he used it as a summer house. It's quite isolated, but a nice piece of history to it.

0:03:22 > 0:03:27Great. We're playing History here. Three multiple choice questions on history.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31Whoever gets the most right goes through. Spencer, first or second?

0:03:31 > 0:03:33I think I'll go first, please.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40Here is your question. Which famous ship was built in Hull in 1784

0:03:40 > 0:03:44and burned by her crew six years later?

0:03:49 > 0:03:55Well, it's not going to be the Titanic. I think that's lying at the bottom of the ocean.

0:03:55 > 0:04:01Not HMS Victory because that's sitting in Portsmouth, very regally.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03So HMS Bounty, Jeremy.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06HMS Bounty is quite right.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10Dave, how many rounds have you done on history?

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Two so far.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16- 50% record.- One lost, one won.- Yeah. - Here's your question.

0:04:16 > 0:04:22In 1886, which US President dedicated the Statue of Liberty when it was unveiled?

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Didn't know this straight away,

0:04:31 > 0:04:35but George Washington was the late part of the 18th century,

0:04:35 > 0:04:43up to the start of the 19th century, and Lyndon B Johnson, of course, replaced John F Kennedy.

0:04:43 > 0:04:49So I think it's the President who was elected twice.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53He had two non-consecutive terms as President - Grover Cleveland.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57Great stuff. Quite right, yeah. Interesting. Back to you, Spencer.

0:04:57 > 0:05:03What was the name of the series of small fortified keeps built along the England/Scotland border

0:05:03 > 0:05:05as refuge and defence towers?

0:05:13 > 0:05:17The towers I'm familiar with are Martello towers on the south coast.

0:05:19 > 0:05:25So I'm going to... struggle to eliminate any of those three.

0:05:28 > 0:05:33I think I will take Pelham towers, please, Jeremy.

0:05:33 > 0:05:38- Let's just see if your team-mates know. Yes or no?- We didn't know,

0:05:38 > 0:05:42- but the Eggheads are shaking their heads!- Oh, the Eggheads! What is it?

0:05:42 > 0:05:47- Peel towers.- Peel towers is the answer, not Pelham.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Dave, to take the lead.

0:05:49 > 0:05:56What name was given to a series of charity schools, the first of which was Christ's Hospital in 1552?

0:06:01 > 0:06:06I know the Christ's Hospital school in Horsham in Sussex,

0:06:06 > 0:06:10but it's still not helping me with the question.

0:06:10 > 0:06:16Just on what looks right to me, and is probably wrong,

0:06:16 > 0:06:22em...I'm going to eliminate Greensleeve and Redcap schools and go for Bluecoat schools.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27Well done. Completely right. Bluecoat schools it is.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Over to you, Spencer.

0:06:29 > 0:06:37Numa Pompilius, the King of Rome, is credited with adding which two months to the Roman calendar?

0:06:43 > 0:06:44Em...

0:06:44 > 0:06:46So Roman...

0:06:48 > 0:06:53Adding two months to the calendar...

0:06:53 > 0:06:57Well, I'm thinking of Augustus.

0:06:58 > 0:07:02I think I'll take July and August, please, Jeremy.

0:07:02 > 0:07:06It's January and February, Spencer, not July and August.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10You've been knocked out by Dave. Dave will be in the final.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14Spencer won't. Please both come back and rejoin your teams.

0:07:15 > 0:07:20As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24The Eggheads have lost no brains. The next subject is Arts and Books.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Which challenger would like this?

0:07:26 > 0:07:31- I think it's me.- Not our favourite. It's none of our favourite categories.

0:07:31 > 0:07:36- I think I'm the fall guy for this one, Jeremy.- Against who?

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Chris?

0:07:38 > 0:07:43- I'd choose Chris. - Yeah, I'll take that advice.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45The advice is Chris, so Chris.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49- Mike from Dynamo versus Chris. - Here we go again(!)

0:07:49 > 0:07:54It's something about... Right now he's attracting Arts and Books.

0:07:54 > 0:08:00To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.

0:08:00 > 0:08:06- So what do you do with the football club, Mike?- I'm the chair, one of the original founder members.

0:08:06 > 0:08:12These days I do a lot of running around behind lots of old boys who act like young kids.

0:08:12 > 0:08:19- Do you have younger players than we see today?- Yes, we do. You've got the experienced bunch.

0:08:19 > 0:08:24The veterans. OK, well, good luck. You'll detect Chris's annoyance.

0:08:24 > 0:08:31- But the haven't gone badly, Chris. - They've gone all right. I surprise myself with what I know sometimes.

0:08:31 > 0:08:37I'll ask each of you three questions and whoever answers the most correctly is the winner.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41- Mike, first or second set? - I'd like to go first, please.

0:08:43 > 0:08:48Here is your question. Henrik Vanger is a character in a book by which writer?

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Henrik Vanger.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58I'm pretty certain it's not JK Rowling.

0:08:59 > 0:09:04I've read most of Stieg Larsson's books and Dan Brown's books.

0:09:04 > 0:09:11And I'm pretty certain - and there's a clue in the name - that it's a Stieg Larsson character.

0:09:12 > 0:09:19- Stieg Larsson is quite right. It's the first one. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.- I don't know.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23I read them all after each other, so they melded into one another.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Addictive, aren't they?- Very much.

0:09:26 > 0:09:27OK, Chris,

0:09:27 > 0:09:34which businessman and inventor was the subject of a best-selling 2011 biography by Walter Isaacson?

0:09:39 > 0:09:43I don't think it was the late Steve Jobs.

0:09:43 > 0:09:49I think Richard Branson wrote his own autobiography, so Alan Sugar.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53That's the wrong answer. He did, sadly, die.

0:09:53 > 0:09:58- It was Steve Jobs. - Steve Jobs, oh.- Yeah. Great man.

0:09:58 > 0:10:05Mike, you're in the lead. Suzanne Valadon was a model for the Dance At Bougival by which artist?

0:10:12 > 0:10:16I can't remember if Renoir did a lot of ballet paintings.

0:10:16 > 0:10:20I went to an exhibition not so long ago. Sadly, I can't remember.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22But I'll go for Renoir.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26You're going for Renoir? It's correct. Well done. Got it.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Back to you, Chris.

0:10:30 > 0:10:36Get this wrong and you're out. Who wrote, "A terrible beauty is born," in his poem Easter, 1916?

0:10:40 > 0:10:47Well, Thomas Hardy, he was more a novelist than a poet. He wrote about Wessex.

0:10:47 > 0:10:52Siegfried Sassoon was a WWI poet, but the Easter Rising was in Ireland

0:10:52 > 0:10:56- and WB Yeats was Irish, so it's WB Yeats.- It is indeed.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59WB Yeats, the very great.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01It still means, Mike,

0:11:01 > 0:11:07get this right to take the round. Thomas Cole was the founder of which 19th-century American art movement

0:11:07 > 0:11:10known for its landscapes?

0:11:16 > 0:11:21I-I don't know, but by a process of elimination

0:11:21 > 0:11:24there clearly is a Hudson River.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29I'm not sure there's a Bronx River.

0:11:29 > 0:11:35Or an East River. So on that basis I'm going to go for the Hudson River School, Jeremy.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38The Hudson River School. Do the other rivers exist?

0:11:38 > 0:11:42The East River, certainly.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45But you're absolutely right. Well done!

0:11:45 > 0:11:48Chris, he got three in a row.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52Brilliant. Just instinctive guesswork, if you don't mind me saying so.

0:11:52 > 0:11:59- Another word is luck, Jeremy! - Whatever. It worked for you. You're in the final and Chris is out.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02Please both of you come back to the studio.

0:12:02 > 0:12:07So the challengers have lost one brain and so have the Eggheads.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10The next subject is Sport.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12This must be good for you!

0:12:12 > 0:12:17- Well...- Should be a major strength. - As long as it's football.- Rob.

0:12:17 > 0:12:22- Rob? OK.- I'll give it a go. - Against which Egghead? Not Dave, not Chris.

0:12:22 > 0:12:27- Well, what do you reckon? - It's Judith or Daphne.

0:12:27 > 0:12:32- That's a bit sexist. - But it is either of those. Judith, I think.

0:12:32 > 0:12:38- I'd like to take on Judith, please. - OK, Rob from Dynamo versus Judith from the Eggheads

0:12:38 > 0:12:40on her favourite subject.

0:12:40 > 0:12:44To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.

0:12:44 > 0:12:50- Tell us what you do outside football, Rob.- Well, loosely, I'm a graphic designer.

0:12:50 > 0:12:56My partners and I run a large format graphic company where we do lots of large prints

0:12:56 > 0:13:00for retail shops and sometimes TV studios.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04- You did a Tori Amos album cover? - Many years ago, yes.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08The significance of that was that she came in while we were doing it,

0:13:08 > 0:13:14so we got to meet her and she actually went into a separate room while we were doing it

0:13:14 > 0:13:18because she was on Top of the Pops that particular night

0:13:18 > 0:13:25- and she practised, so I could listen to her while I retouched her onscreen!- What fun!

0:13:25 > 0:13:31OK, let's see how you do on Sport against Judith, who is so excited to be in this category yet again.

0:13:31 > 0:13:38- Of course(!)- You promised us you read the back pages.- Religiously! - Let's see what comes up now.

0:13:38 > 0:13:44- I'll ask each of you three questions on sport in turn. Rob, first or second?- I'll go first, please.

0:13:47 > 0:13:53Here we go. Good luck to you. What was the highest official cost of a ticket at the 2012 Olympics?

0:14:03 > 0:14:07Well, I'm going to rule out £20.12 straight away.

0:14:08 > 0:14:1120,000 sounds a lot.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14It could well be, it could well be,

0:14:14 > 0:14:18but I'm going to go down the middle and go for £2,012, please.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22And 2,012 is the right answer. Well done. Well done.

0:14:23 > 0:14:28Judith, which country won rugby league's Four Nations tournament in 2011?

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Rugby league... I, um...

0:14:35 > 0:14:38I don't... Four Nations.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43- France.- Is the wrong answer. It was Australia.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Went down the right.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48Rob, your question to take the lead.

0:14:48 > 0:14:52Which of the golf majors was won by Keegan Bradley in 2011?

0:14:58 > 0:15:01Yes, I do remember it.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04OK, it definitely wasn't the US Masters.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09It wasn't the US Open either. I'll go for the US PGA, please.

0:15:10 > 0:15:14You've got it right. Well done. You've taken the lead.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16Judith, you need to get this right.

0:15:16 > 0:15:23How many times did John Parrott reach the final of the World Snooker Championship?

0:15:23 > 0:15:25I don't know!

0:15:27 > 0:15:29- John Parrott?- John Parrott.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33He's a name to conjure with, so let's say three.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Three is the wrong answer.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39I'm assuming that was a guess?

0:15:39 > 0:15:43- Yes.- It wasn't that you watched it twice, then once on repeat?

0:15:43 > 0:15:48- No.- Two is the answer, Judith. Sorry to have to break that to you.

0:15:48 > 0:15:52You are out of Sport, although it was quite painless. Well done, Rob.

0:15:52 > 0:15:57You've beaten our Egghead on Sport, so you'll be in the final.

0:15:57 > 0:16:01Both of you, please come back and rejoin your team-mates.

0:16:01 > 0:16:05- How about this, Paul? You're winning.- I know.- You're a goal up.

0:16:05 > 0:16:09- And a little surprised. - Well, Judith, what can we say about that Sport round?

0:16:09 > 0:16:14- They're sportsmen. They're going to win that.- They're footballers.

0:16:14 > 0:16:20- But there are other sports you like. - They're interested in sport, so perhaps they watch other things too.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24- So you chose the right Egghead there.- I think so.- And you're ahead.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28The challengers have lost one brain, the Eggheads have lost two.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31It's getting exciting as we approach the final round.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34Our last subject before that is Film & Television.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36Which of you would like this?

0:16:36 > 0:16:38- That's me, is it?- It's you.- Dave?

0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Dave, yeah.- Which Egghead? Kevin or Daphne?

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Look at Daphne grinning there!

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Kevin?

0:16:45 > 0:16:51- I'll take Kevin? - He's going to be strong in the final.- What are you thinking?

0:16:51 > 0:16:55- I'm just thinking of taking on Kevin.- You might get the breaks.

0:16:55 > 0:17:02- You might be lucky.- Tactical move. I'm going to be the sacrificial lamb and take on the formidable Kevin.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05Dave from Dynamo versus Kevin from the Eggheads.

0:17:05 > 0:17:10To ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14- OK, Dave, so it's Film & TV.- Yeah.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16- I gather you love your music? - I do, yeah.

0:17:16 > 0:17:21I share a favourite band with you, I gather, Jeremy - The Smiths.

0:17:21 > 0:17:26I love them. Sorry that Music didn't come up because Kevin has had a few slip-ups on Music.

0:17:26 > 0:17:31- Just recently, yes. - Recently, very unusually, so, it didn't come up for you.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- And you bought yourself a record player?- Yeah.

0:17:34 > 0:17:39I've been making my kids suffer listening to all my old vinyl.

0:17:39 > 0:17:43- So you kept the vinyl? - I've got lots of vinyl. That's why I bought the turntable.

0:17:43 > 0:17:49I've just done the same thing. I've had to buy new vinyl. Somebody offered me some Beatles albums.

0:17:49 > 0:17:54- But it's a great thing, isn't it? - I've got a few I could sell you if you like.

0:17:54 > 0:17:59So, Smiths albums. Have you got a turntable in your house or has it been cleared out?

0:17:59 > 0:18:04It hasn't been cleared out yet. I think there might still be one somewhere, actually.

0:18:04 > 0:18:10There's something about putting the arm down because it plays the tracks in order and you don't shuffle them.

0:18:10 > 0:18:14- Yeah. There's still a place for it. - Wonderful, yeah.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16So, three questions on Film & TV.

0:18:16 > 0:18:22- Dave, you can choose the first or second set.- I'll follow my team-mates and go first, thanks.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27Here we go and good luck to you.

0:18:27 > 0:18:31With which quiz show is the phrase "Can I have a P, please" associated?

0:18:36 > 0:18:41I wasted a lot of time watching this in my youth as a sixth former,

0:18:41 > 0:18:44presented by the famous Bob Holness.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47- But it's Blockbusters. - Blockbusters is the correct answer.

0:18:47 > 0:18:51Which I think has been brought back recently. Kevin, your question.

0:18:51 > 0:18:55Which 1968 film first featured Herbie the Volkswagen?

0:19:00 > 0:19:04Well, that was the first of a series of films featuring Herbie.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06It was The Love Bug.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10The Love Bug is the right answer. Well done. I watched it recently.

0:19:10 > 0:19:15- Not as funny as I remembered.- They rarely are.- Yeah, it really went on.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17OK, Dave, your question.

0:19:17 > 0:19:23Zach Galligan played Billy Peltzer in which film of the 1980s?

0:19:30 > 0:19:34I don't know the answer. The character name sounds familiar.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38I'm going to rule out Back To The Future

0:19:38 > 0:19:41because Michael J Fox was the central character.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44I think I'm going to rule out Gremlins

0:19:44 > 0:19:48and I'm hoping that he was one of the bad boys in The Breakfast Club.

0:19:48 > 0:19:53I understand totally why you've done that, but it's Gremlins actually.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56Who was the character? What did he do?

0:19:56 > 0:19:58He was the young male lead.

0:19:58 > 0:20:02He didn't have a great career other than that,

0:20:02 > 0:20:06but he was the juvenile lead, if you like, in Gremlins.

0:20:06 > 0:20:10- He got attacked by the Gremlins or he kept them as pets?- Well, both.

0:20:10 > 0:20:14He's the one who had the pet, the Mogwai,

0:20:14 > 0:20:16which then developed into the Gremlins.

0:20:16 > 0:20:20How you know all of this, Kevin, I've got no idea!

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Your question to take the lead.

0:20:22 > 0:20:28In the TV series The Fast Show, who played the characters Dave Angel, Billy Bleach and Competitive Dad?

0:20:32 > 0:20:34I didn't watch The Fast Show, I'm afraid.

0:20:43 > 0:20:47The only name I can associate there is Charlie Higson. I'll go for that.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51- Anybody know?- Simon Day? - Simon Day, yes, you're right.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55- Simon Day is the answer. - I just didn't watch it.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57OK, that's helpful, Dave.

0:20:57 > 0:21:01Who played Frank Gallagher in the US version of the TV drama Shameless?

0:21:09 > 0:21:13Oh, dear. I would have liked Kevin's question, but never mind.

0:21:15 > 0:21:20I really don't know. The American TV version of Shameless...

0:21:24 > 0:21:28A total shot in the dark I'm going to go John C Reilly.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30No, it's not John C Reilly.

0:21:30 > 0:21:35- It is... Kevin, do you know? - I think it might be William H Macy.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38William H Macy is the answer. Kevin, last question.

0:21:38 > 0:21:42If you get this right, you are through to the final round.

0:21:42 > 0:21:47The 1993 film known in English as Farewell My Concubine was made in which language?

0:21:50 > 0:21:54Well, it's a Chinese film, so Mandarin.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00Mandarin is correct. Well done. You got through to the final.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04You got a question wrong there, but you got through to the final.

0:22:04 > 0:22:10Dave, sorry, you've been knocked out by our Egghead. Come back to us and we'll play the final round.

0:22:10 > 0:22:16This is what we've been playing towards, the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:22:16 > 0:22:21I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads can't take part,

0:22:21 > 0:22:28so Dave and Spencer from Dynamo and Judith and Chris from the Eggheads, please now leave the studio.

0:22:29 > 0:22:33Well, Paul, Mike and Rob, you are playing to win Dynamo £12,000.

0:22:33 > 0:22:39Kevin, Dave and Daphne, you are playing for something money can't buy - your reputation.

0:22:39 > 0:22:44I will ask each team three questions. They're all General Knowledge and you can confer.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48Dynamo, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?

0:22:48 > 0:22:53- Would you like to have the first or second question?- We'll go first.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Here we go. First set of questions to you and good luck.

0:22:59 > 0:23:04In architecture, what name is given to a series of columns or arches

0:23:04 > 0:23:08which form a covered walkway in front of a building?

0:23:11 > 0:23:16- Right...- It's not plinth. - I'd say portico.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19- A pedestal is what the pillar is on.- Yeah.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21As is a plinth.

0:23:21 > 0:23:26- I'm sure a portico, as in gate, is a walk-through.- I think so, yeah.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28Portico, Jeremy.

0:23:28 > 0:23:32Portico is the right answer. Well done. Over to you, Eggheads.

0:23:32 > 0:23:38Which UK zoo took delivery of the giant pandas Tian Tian and Yang Guang in 2011?

0:23:42 > 0:23:46- It's Edinburgh.- It's Edinburgh, isn't it? Happy with that?- Yes.

0:23:46 > 0:23:51- That was Edinburgh.- Edinburgh Zoo is quite right. Well done.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53Back to you.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57Alija Izetbegovic was President of which country?

0:24:02 > 0:24:05- Do you know?- I don't know.

0:24:05 > 0:24:10Croatia and Slovenia are just better known countries, aren't they?

0:24:10 > 0:24:14We might have known his name. I recognise the name, but...

0:24:14 > 0:24:18I'm drawn to Bosnia-Herzegovina. I'm not absolutely sure why.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22- I imagine they're all "ic", aren't they?- I suspect so.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24I'm drawn there as well.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27- Go for it. - I don't think it's Croatia.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29Slovenia or Bosnia-Herzegovina.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32- Are we going for Bosnia?- Yeah.- OK.

0:24:32 > 0:24:36OK, we're going to go for Bosnia-Herzegovina, please, Jeremy.

0:24:36 > 0:24:40You've got it right. Well done. Bosnia is the right answer.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42Over to you, Eggheads.

0:24:42 > 0:24:48Until 1962, who was the drummer with the band Rory Storm & The Hurricanes?

0:24:51 > 0:24:54- It's Ringo out of those.- Yeah.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57It was in Hamburg. That's where they met.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00- Definitely Ringo Starr. Yeah?- Yes.

0:25:00 > 0:25:05That was Ringo Starr before he became famous with The Beatles.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08Ringo Starr. Did he replace somebody else?

0:25:08 > 0:25:12- Yeah, Pete Best.- Pete Best. - When he went to The Beatles, yeah.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16Ringo Starr was the drummer with Rory Storm & The Hurricanes.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20He made a good career choice there. OK, if you get this third one right,

0:25:20 > 0:25:26it puts quite a bit of pressure on them because if they get it wrong, you have the money.

0:25:26 > 0:25:33What is the name of the Oxfordshire house which hosted an opera festival from 1989 to 2010?

0:25:39 > 0:25:41I have absolutely no idea.

0:25:42 > 0:25:47Which ones have you heard of? I've heard of Rycote House.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50I think that's the only one I've heard of.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53Garsington Manor, Friar Park...

0:25:53 > 0:25:55If it's a house, it could be a house,

0:25:55 > 0:25:58but Friar Park doesn't sound like a house.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01For some reason, Garsington Manor has a...

0:26:01 > 0:26:06- In Oxfordshire...- I like the sound of it.- Do you? Oh, OK.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09But no, I mean, other than the fact that...

0:26:09 > 0:26:13I vaguely remember lots of names with Rycote in Oxfordshire.

0:26:13 > 0:26:17It is the only one with House in the title which is clutching at straws.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21- Shall we go for Rycote House? - Yeah.- Yeah.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24Rycote House is our answer, please.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27You've gone for Rycote House.

0:26:27 > 0:26:32It's Garsington. It's Garsington Manor.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36I was certain you were going for that, then just swerved at the end.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38We didn't really know. We were hovering there.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41OK, Eggheads, your third question.

0:26:41 > 0:26:46If you get this right, the contest is over. If you get it wrong, we go to Sudden Death.

0:26:46 > 0:26:50William Lamb, who served two terms as British Prime Minister

0:26:50 > 0:26:53in the 19th century, was also known by which title?

0:27:00 > 0:27:02- It's Melbourne.- Melbourne.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Yeah.- It's Melbourne. - It's Melbourne.

0:27:06 > 0:27:12The husband of Caroline who had an affair with Byron

0:27:12 > 0:27:16and he was the 2nd Viscount Melbourne.

0:27:16 > 0:27:20Your answer is the 2nd Viscount Melbourne.

0:27:20 > 0:27:24- If you got it right, the contest is over. Do you think it's right?- Yes.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26They do look a bit certain.

0:27:26 > 0:27:30It is 2nd Viscount Melbourne. Congratulations. You have won.

0:27:35 > 0:27:41- Just in at the end there.- Yeah. - But had you got yours right, we could have gone to Sudden Death.

0:27:41 > 0:27:48Thanks for playing. You played really well. You were level going into the final. That's unusual.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50I know. It's good. We're happy.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54A flat back five have got into a midfield position.

0:27:54 > 0:27:59OK, commiserations, challengers. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them

0:27:59 > 0:28:05and their winning streak continues. You won't be going home with the £12,000, so the money rolls over.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:08 > 0:28:13Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16£13,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
