0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads, the show where
0:00:25 > 0:00:27a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:30against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36And taking on our quiz goliaths today are The Golfing Girls.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Now, this team are all members of Ellesmere Golf Club in Salford.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40So let's meet them.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45My name is Pam. I'm 64, and I'm a retired GP.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hello. My name's Shiela. I'm 74
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and I'm a retired French teacher.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hello. My name's Sue. I'm 53 and I have a children's nursery.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hi. I'm Anne. I'm 67
0:00:57 > 0:01:00and I'm a retired teacher.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi. I'm Eileen. I'm 57 and I'm a beauty therapist.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06- Pam and team, welcome.- Hello.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- And more golfers than quizzers, I gather.- Yes.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12So you play golf, what, once a week? Or how often?
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- At least.- More often than that. - Really? More often?
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Oh, yes.- I only play once a week as a rule.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19We had some golfers in the other day, or one at least,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21who said once a week is not enough.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- No, we play several times. - We play three or four times.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- Three or four?- In the summer, yeah.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- Some people become addicted to it.- We play every day if we can.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32And some people just enjoy it as a sport.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- And you're a retired GP?- I am.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- You've all got different backgrounds.- Yes, very much.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39All right. Well, good luck in the game today.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Every day there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51So, Golfing Girls. The Eggheads have won the last 13 games.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Which means £14,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Shall we get cracking? Shall we tee off?- Oh, yes.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01OK, first head-to-head battle is on the subject of music.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Who would like this? Music.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Eileen?- Eileen?- Film and TV.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- You can do that.- I think so.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13You're doing music.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14All right. Eileen.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Eileen?- Yes.- Down the end. OK. Against which Egghead?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Daphne? Do we do Daphne?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- Daphne?- I don't know.- We don't know anything about Dave.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Try Dave.- Try Dave.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I love the way the answer's just gradually emerging here.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- OK, Eileen.- Daphne.- Oh, OK. You've changed track.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Eileen from the Golfing Girls against Daphne
0:02:40 > 0:02:42on music, from the Eggheads.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47would you please both take your positions in the question room.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51So what's your main job outside the golf, Eileen?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I'm a beauty therapist.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55And that's been a passion for you?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Well, I've only be doing it, actually, for two years.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01But previous to that, you studied and everything else?
0:03:01 > 0:03:05I went to college in 2009 for 12 months and studied it,
0:03:05 > 0:03:09and then I have a salon, well it's a room, in my hairdresser's.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Prior to that, I've actually worked in HR and personnel.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14So complete change of career.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- So are you enjoying it? - Yeah, it's lovely.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Do you ever do that, Daphne, go to the beauty therapist?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Yes. It's just so relaxing.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26You just lie back and get pampered.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Your nails and toes. No, not nails, no.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33You don't want to look at my nails. I type a lot.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36So if they don't do nails, what do they do?
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Well, you have beauty massages, face massages,
0:03:40 > 0:03:41get your eyebrows done.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45She could be a customer, Eileen.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Yeah, brilliant.- Bring it on. - Thank you.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51OK, so three multiple choice questions on music in turn.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Eileen, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Here we go and good luck to you.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04In which year did Rihanna have her first top ten single in the UK?
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Eileen, was it...
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Oh, well, she's not very old, is she?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17So I don't think '95.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Let's see. I would say, probably 2005.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Well done, it is 2005. Good stuff.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Daphne, your question. What name is given to the rubber-tipped sticks
0:04:31 > 0:04:35that are used to play vibraphones?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Oh...
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Bit like a xylophone, isn't it?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46So I assume it's mallets.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Mallet is the right answer.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Eileen, your question.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Nat King Cole started his career purely as a player
0:04:55 > 0:04:57of which musical instrument?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Ah, well this is a question that we actually...
0:05:07 > 0:05:10..talked about when we on our way up here today, funnily enough.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13And I think it's piano.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16You're right. That's a bit spooky.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18You talked about this very subject on the train?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Well, we were talking about music and asking music questions,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23and we mentioned Nat King Cole.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25And what he played before he became very, very famous.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27What was his instrument? Yeah.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31That's good. Maybe you're going to be a lucky team.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Piano's the right answer.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Daphne. The American musician, song-writer and producer,
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Joseph Henry Burnett, is better known by what name?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Well, the only one I've heard of is T-Bone.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52So T-Bone.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53T-Bone Burnett is right.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57OK, see if you can make three now, Eileen.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Put some pressure on our Daphne.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Who had a UK top ten single in 1982
0:06:02 > 0:06:04with the Theme From Harry's Game.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Was it..
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Well, again,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16it was a brilliant song, tune.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18And it was actually Clannad.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Clannad is quite right. Well done.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22You got all three right, that's great.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Daphne, here we go with your third question.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Verdi's opera, La Traviata, is set in which city? Is it...
0:06:32 > 0:06:36It's set in Paris.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Paris is correct. A perfect round for you both.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Which means we go to sudden death, Eileen. It gets a tiny bit harder,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44cos I'm not going to give you alternative answers, OK?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Yeah.- Here we go.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Which female British artist released albums
0:06:48 > 0:06:51called I Speak Because I Can in 2010,
0:06:51 > 0:06:54and A Creature I Don't Know in 2011?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Rihanna.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06No, it is Laura... Do you know this, Daphne?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Laura Marling. - Laura Marling is the answer.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Daphne, if you get this right, you are in the final.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Which British pop star published a book of poetry
0:07:14 > 0:07:18called The Warlock Of Love in 1969?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22A British pop star.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Tommy Steele.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29No, Mark Bolan is the answer.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Eileen, back to you. Sudden death.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Which Danish composer wrote the 1927 rhapsodic overture,
0:07:37 > 0:07:41An Imaginary Journey To The Faroe Islands?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Sorry, pass.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- I'll have to pass, I'm afraid. - OK, Carl Nielsen is the answer.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Daphne. Cox And Box was an early comic operetta
0:07:59 > 0:08:01by FC Burnand and which composer?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Arthur Sullivan?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Where did that come from? - Out of the ether.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Arthur Sullivan is the right answer, Daphne.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Well done, you've taken that round.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Tough round, Eileen. - Yes, definitely.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Well done. Fought her toe-to-toe
0:08:18 > 0:08:20but Daphne will be in the final.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29The Eggheads have lost no brains so far.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Don't worry, very early days.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Next subject is geography. Who wants this?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- I think that might be me. - It's going to be you, Sue.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Sue? OK. Against?
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Who do you fancy?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Barry, please.- All right.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49So Sue from The Golfing Girls versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51To ensure there's no conferring, take your positions.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I'll ask each of you three questions on geography in turn.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58And whoever answers the most goes through to our final.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01And would you like, Sue, the first or the second set?
0:09:01 > 0:09:02The first, please.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Here we go. Good luck.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10The districts of Santa Monica and Burbank are within the boundaries
0:09:10 > 0:09:13of which Californian city? Is it...
0:09:16 > 0:09:18I don't think it's San Diego.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21And I don't think it's San Francisco.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23So I'm going to go for Los Angeles.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Los Angeles is correct. Well done.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29OK, Barry. Your question.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32The Shropshire town of Clun
0:09:32 > 0:09:36takes its name from which type of geographical landmark?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Clun. That sounds Welsh
0:09:41 > 0:09:44and my knowledge of Welsh is sadly limited.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48But I know llyn is the Welsh for lake.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52So I'm wondering if we can get from that to Clun and Shropshire.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57Is that the Cotswolds in Shropshire? So it could be mountain or hill.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Then again, there's a few rivers that rise in Shropshire,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03so I'm really not sure on this at all.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Clun. Well, towns are most likely to be by rivers,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11rather than mountains or lakes, so I shall go for river.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13You've got it right. Well done. River is the answer.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15If it's in Shropshire but it came from Wales,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18maybe it would be a river. I don't know.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I was going with your logic there. Sue, your question.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Heaton Park, one of the largest urban parks in the UK,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27is in which city? Is it...
0:10:32 > 0:10:34None of us live far from Heaton Park, actually,
0:10:34 > 0:10:38and it's a great place for walking the dogs. It's in Manchester.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41It would have been so worrying if you'd got that wrong.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- It would.- Manchester is the right answer. Well done.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- Round the corner from you.- Yep.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49These questions are all randomly generated, I promise.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Barry, your question.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55The Phiphi Islands are a tourist destination in which country?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Phiphi.- P-H-I-P-H-I.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Ah, that gives the game away, that must be Thailand.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Thailand is the right answer.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08OK, so you've both got two.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11So if you get this one right, you just give Barry a little nudge.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Maybe he'll fall off his chair.- OK.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15What name is given to a light, porous rock
0:11:15 > 0:11:20consisting of compacted ash and dust from volcanoes? Is it...
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I don't think it's buff.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I'm going to do a Daphne and go for luff.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Why is that "doing a Daphne"?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Because when Daphne doesn't know the answer,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39she does a guess. And so I've just done a guess, really.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Would you have guessed luff, Daphne?
0:11:41 > 0:11:45No, it's, I've always heard it pronounced as toof.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- Tuff.- It's a tuff.- OK.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Barry, get this one right, you're in the final.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Which island is home to the Rothera base
0:11:54 > 0:11:57of the British Antarctic Survey? Is it...
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Oh, gosh. I haven't a clue on that.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I knew the answer to the tuff question.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13British base.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Well, we'll go for our current queen.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19And we'll go for Elizabeth Island.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Elizabeth Island is the wrong answer, Barry.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24It's actually Adelaide Island
0:12:24 > 0:12:28where we have the Rothera base of the British Antarctic Survey.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31So two out of three for you both. We go to sudden death again, Sue.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35How about that? Obviously tight play here from The Golfing Girls.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Yeah, very tight. - So, again, it's a bit harder.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- I don't give you alternatives, OK?- OK.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Which South American country is bordered by Brazil,
0:12:43 > 0:12:44Suriname and Venezuela?
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Brazil, Suriname and Venezuela.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53I'm going to go for Ecuador.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- It's Guyana.- Oh.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58OK, Barry. Over to you. This for the round.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02The airport recently named Liszt Ferenc International Airport
0:13:02 > 0:13:07- serves which city?- Could you spell? - Sure, L-I-S-Z-T,
0:13:07 > 0:13:10and then Ferenc is F-E-R-E-N-C.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Well, that sounds remarkably Hungarian to me,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14so I shall go for Budapest.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Very good. It is Budapest. After the composer, Liszt.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Barry, you've got the round. You got it on sudden death.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24You're in the final, so we've got two Eggheads
0:13:24 > 0:13:27going to the final who've just pipped you at the post.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- This must stop!- It must stop.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- I'm sorry. - The intelligent one's next.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- No pressure.- Do come back both of you and rejoin your teams.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40So, as it stands, the challengers have lost two brains.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet from that final round.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45And our next subject is arts and books.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47So which challenger would like this?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- Anne or Shiela.- Well, it's up to you.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- I think you're better at the end.- OK.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01- Who is it going to be? Anne?- Yeah. - Anne against?- Pat.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04What about Dave? We don't know anything about Dave.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- We don't know what Dave does.- Try Dave.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10We don't know anything about Dave. So Dave.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- OK, brilliant. - So Anne from The Golfing Girls
0:14:13 > 0:14:15versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19To ensure there's no conferring... You didn't know the nickname?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21It had slipped my mind.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25So there's no conferring, take your positions in the question room.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Anne, you're looking forward to being the captain of the golf club?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Yes, I am, Jeremy.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35The ex-lady captain's invited me to take it on for the centenary year.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39So that's very exciting and I'm looking forward to it.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- A great honour.- So you have a, what, 100-year celebration?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- You've got some things planned? - There are things planned.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I'm not sure quite what will be happening yet,
0:14:46 > 0:14:50but there will be lots of exciting things going on, I'm sure.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54OK, and you're against Dave, and, as you say, unknown quantity here.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Yes.- Let's see how we go. Dave, arts and books.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- First time I've done this subject.- Is it?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I hadn't clocked that. OK, so we really don't know.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- No, we don't know. - We'll all find out together.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07I'll ask each of you three questions on arts and books in turn.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10And Anne, you can choose the first or the second set of questions.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Here we go. Good luck to you.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Carol Ann Duffy's 46-line poem, Rings,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22was written for which wedding in 2011? Was it...
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Well, I would imagine, as a poet laureate,
0:15:33 > 0:15:37it must have been for Prince William and Catherine Middleton.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- And that's my answer. - And it is the right answer.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Prince William and Catherine Middleton. Well done.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48OK, Dave your question, your first question on arts and books
0:15:48 > 0:15:51in the history of Eggheads. It's a bit of a programme moment.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54The children's book, The Gruffalo, tells the story
0:15:54 > 0:15:59of what type of creature taking a walk through a deep, dark wood?
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Is it...
0:16:03 > 0:16:07You know what, I don't... I know of the book.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09But I didn't pay any attention to what it was about.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13I'll go pig.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Oh, Dave!
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Any parent of young children knows that it's a mouse.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- Fair enough.- OK, over to you. Anne.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27The painter Frank Auerbach
0:16:27 > 0:16:31settled in which country in 1939? Is it...
0:16:35 > 0:16:361939.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Just before the outbreak of war.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Or at the outbreak of war.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I'm going to rule out Austria.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I think I'll go for Sweden, Jeremy.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Actually, it's the UK, funnily enough.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59OK. Dave, Tremendous Knowledge, your second question.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03The Olivier Award-winning play, Dancing At Lughnasa,
0:17:03 > 0:17:05is a work by which writer? Is it...
0:17:09 > 0:17:13And Lughnasa is spelt L-U-G-H-N-A-S-A. Lughnasa.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I'm going to go for Brian Friel.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Brian Friel is exactly the right answer, Dave. Well done.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23So one point each and over to you, Anne.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28The Newbery Prize winning 1994 novel, Walk Two Moons,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30was the work of which author? Was it...
0:17:38 > 0:17:43I've read a couple of Anne Fine's. I don't know the other two.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48It's a guess. Robert Swindells.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Is wrong, it's Sharon Creech.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I should have gone down the middle.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54OK. Dave, your question.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Get this right, you take the round.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58What was the name of the avant-garde movement
0:17:58 > 0:18:00founded in the early 1960s
0:18:00 > 0:18:04of which Yoko Ono was a member? Was it...
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Again, I've not heard of this at all.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15So the arts and books needs work. I'll go for Fluxus.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19You have got it right, actually.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- I know that seems terribly unfair. - It's totally unfair.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I feel fraudulent.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Well done, Dave, you've won.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31You're being pipped at every post here, ladies, golfing ladies.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Anne, sorry, you won't be in the final round.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Please, both of you come back, and we'll play on.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39As it stands, the challengers have lost three brains.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43The Eggheads have lost none. So unless you knock one out now,
0:18:43 > 0:18:45you're going to be facing all five in the final round.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48So this is a big one. Science.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- This is mine.- Pam?- Unfortunately.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55OK, against which Egghead? Chris or Pat?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- I think so, yeah.- Chris?- Chris.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01So it is Pam from The Golfing Girls versus Chris.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04It's a while since you've had science, Chris.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06It has been a stoat's age, yeah.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Chris from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11please take your seats in the question room.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16OK, I'm going to ask each of you three questions on science in turn.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- Pam, would you like the first or second set?- The first set, please.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25OK, let's see if we can get you in the final here.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29What type of motors powered the lunar-roving vehicles
0:19:29 > 0:19:32used on the moon by the Apollo missions?
0:19:37 > 0:19:42Well, I can't imagine them taking enough diesel fuel up to the moon.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Electric, they might have been able to create some electricity somehow.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54And again, steam would mean that they'd have to take water.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56So I'm going to go with electric.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00And electric is the correct answer. Well done.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Chris, your question. Atrial fibrillation is a condition
0:20:03 > 0:20:07that directly affects which organ of the human body? Is it...
0:20:10 > 0:20:12That affects the heart, Jeremy.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15You are right, it does. Something you don't want.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Pam, here's your question.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21Quickbeam is another term for which tree found in the UK? Is it...
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Quick as in fast beam?
0:20:30 > 0:20:35Sorry, Q-U-I-C-K-B-E-A-M. Quickbeam, all one word.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38I don't think it's yew.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I don't think it's mountain ash.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46So I'm going to go with blackthorn.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49It's actually mountain ash. I'm sorry to say.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54Chris, your question. What is the informal classification of the sun?
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Is it...
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Well, if it was a red giant, we'd be done to a crisp by now.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06It's not a brown dwarf, so it's a yellow dwarf.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Yellow dwarf is the right answer. Well done.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11I sense you enjoy science more than arts and books.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I enjoy...I like science.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- I like nuts and bolts and solid facts.- Yeah.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Pam, your question. Roughly how many genes are there in the human genome?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Well, I should know this.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35But...
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I don't.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40It's a lot.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47I'm going to go down the middle, 420,000.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52I can hear a sigh from the Eggheads. Why are you sighing, Eggheads?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- It's only 24,000.- It's 24,000.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56And they've all been mapped now, haven't they?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I think there's actually more in a daffodil, to be honest.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- There's more in a daffodil? Are you serious?- Yes.
0:22:02 > 0:22:0524,000 is the answer. Pam, you've been knocked out by Chris.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08I'm sorry. So Chris will be in the final.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11And if you both come back to us, we will play that final round.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15This is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17It's the final round which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:20 > 0:22:22can't take part in this round.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25So Pam, Sue and Eileen,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27would you all please leave the studio.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Well, Shiela, take a bow.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34You're playing to win The Golfing Girls £14,000.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- And on your own, as well.- On my own.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- There will have to be an inquiry about this...- There will.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42- ..at the club. - They've just let me down.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43JEREMY LAUGHS
0:22:43 > 0:22:45We saw it all happen in slow motion.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Every time it was just the one answer.- Yeah.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- anyway, here we are. Good luck. - Thank you very much.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Dave, Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat, you're playing
0:22:53 > 0:22:57for something that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02This time the questions are all general knowledge.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05You are allowed to confer. I know that doesn't help much.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10The question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14I think I'll go first, please.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Your first question, Shiela.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21In Toulouse-Lautrec's famous 1891 work,
0:23:21 > 0:23:25what type of entertainer is La Goulue?
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Well, I don't think she was a unicyclist, although...
0:23:34 > 0:23:39..she worked in a club in Paris, that's for sure.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41So I'll go for dancer.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44You're quite right. Dancer is the right answer. Well done.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46OK, Eggheads.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Weihnachten is the German word for what?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Christmas.- Yeah.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00- That's Christmas, Jeremy. - Christmas is the right answer.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Shiela.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06The Vietnamese city of Hanoi is on which major river?
0:24:10 > 0:24:13I have absolutely no idea.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17White doesn't sound right.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22It could be Red, could be Yellow.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25There's a Yellow River in China.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29I don't know. I'll go for red.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- Is she right, Eggheads?- Yes. - Yeah, you're right.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- Two out of two.- Good.- Well done.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Eggheads. I'm suddenly feeling this could go against you.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45What type of farm animal is a hogget?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- It's a sheep.- I think it's definitely a sheep, yeah.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- Sheep.- Sheep.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57- It's a sheep, Jeremy.- A sheep.- Yeah.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00It is indeed a sheep. All right, here we are, two points each.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02You've done as well as can be expected.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- The girls are rooting for you. - Thank you.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I would say, for any advice, try and get this one right.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- Cos then it puts pressure on them. OK?- OK.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- And they could just get confused.- Yeah.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Here's your question. Who directed the 1969 film
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Hannibal Brooks,
0:25:20 > 0:25:25about a prisoner of war escaping Germany with an elephant? Is it...
0:25:29 > 0:25:33I know absolutely nothing about films.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Obviously I've heard about Michael Winner.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42I said before I came that I wouldn't say I've never heard of them,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45because that sounds...not too good.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48But I honestly have not heard of the other two.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51So I'm going to do a Judith,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54I think, goes down the right-hand side.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58So I'm going to go down the right- hand side and say Gerald Thomas.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01She does. She hasn't done it recently.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06And it's a shame you did that. Cos it's not Gerald Thomas.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Funnily enough, it's Michael Winner.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13It's almost the most best-known, most obvious one.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Can anyone tell us about that film?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17It's quite good fun. John Alderton as a POW.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22He's sent to do fatigues at Vienna Zoo.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27And one of the elephants gets quite badly hurt in an air raid.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Her name's Lucy, by the way.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32And they take off into the countryside and head for Switzerland.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- I gather Oliver..- Meets up with Michael J Pollard.- It's Oliver Reed.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- Oliver Reed! Of course, John Alderton's his mate.- Yeah.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41It's Oliver Reed, not John Alderton.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Eggheads, your question. If you get this right, the contest is over.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Charles Upham, who was twice awarded the Victoria Cross
0:26:48 > 0:26:51in the Second World War, was born in which country?
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Was he a New Zealander? I thought he was Antipodean of some description.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06I had Australian in my head.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- I don't know why.- It's not there.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- No. So what do you think? - New Zealand.- New Zealand sounds...
0:27:14 > 0:27:18I don't think I've ever heard of an American...
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- And there weren't that many Canadians.- New Zealand.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24I would have gone New Zealand. What do you think?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27I would have guessed at New Zealand.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I can't think of any Americans.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34I was thinking Australia.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35I don't know why I had that in my head.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39With that inkling, it would be New Zealand rather than Australia.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Go for New Zealand.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46We're not entirely sure, Jeremy. But we think it's New Zealand.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49So Charles Upham, twice awarded the Victoria Cross
0:27:49 > 0:27:53in the Second World War was born in which country, was my question.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55If you've got this right, the contest is over.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58It's not Canada, you were right about that.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00And it's not the USA. It is New Zealand.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Eggheads, very well done. You have won the contest.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- Well, you fought them, Shiela. - We did, yes.- You fought them.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14It's hard when there's five. Commiserations to our challengers.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:17 > 0:28:19and their winning streak continues.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £14,000,
0:28:21 > 0:28:24so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28Eggheads, congratulations. Who will ever beat you?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:31 > 0:28:33have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37£15,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
