0:00:04 > 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.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The 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 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And taking on our awesome quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:39are The Volunteers. This team all met at their local,
0:00:39 > 0:00:45The Volunteer in Yealmpton, a village they describe as Devon's best kept secret. Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Pete, I'm 50 and I'm an independent financial adviser.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Nigel, I'm 59 years old and I'm a veterinary surgeon.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Jon, I'm 49 and I'm a pub manager.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Gareth, I'm 42 and I'm the licensee of The Volunteer.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Phil, I'm 59 and I'm a software developer.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09- Pete and team, welcome.- Hi.- We've now revealed the best kept secret.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14- That's the trouble with this. - My fault. We shouldn't have come.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19- Tell us about the beautiful village. - It's about two or three miles away from the coast
0:01:19 > 0:01:21between Plymouth and Kingsbridge.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25We don't get too many tourists at the moment, which is...great,
0:01:25 > 0:01:30but we've got a lovely village pub that's run by Gareth here
0:01:30 > 0:01:33and it's just a lovely place to live.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I hope you do really well today.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47So, Volunteers, the Eggheads have won the last 14 games,
0:01:47 > 0:01:51which means £15,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53It's looking handy, this jackpot now.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & Television.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Who would like this?
0:01:59 > 0:02:04- Shall we start with the leader? - Gareth?- Lamb to the slaughter. - Go for it, Gareth.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Gareth, OK. - We've got to choose somebody.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- What do you reckon? - Shall we take Chris?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Possibly Chris?
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Yeah?- You reckon Chris? - I'll take Chris. I'll give it a go.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21OK, Gareth from The Volunteers versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25To ensure no conferring, take your positions in the question room.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30- So, Gareth, you're involved in the pub in Yealmpton? - Yeah, I'm the licensee there.
0:02:30 > 0:02:36- And also a farmer?- Yeah, a farmer by trade.- So which is the hardest job? The pub or the farm?
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Pulling pints or pulling milk? I wouldn't like to say.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Probably the pub, by the people next to you.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- LAUGHTER - They're harder to herd than cattle, are they?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Very much so, especially at one in the morning.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54I'll ask you each three questions on Film & Television in turn.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Whoever answers the most correctly is the winner.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02- Gareth, would you like the first or second set of questions? - First, please.
0:03:04 > 0:03:10Here we go. Good luck. What is the name of the character played by Tom Cruise in the 1986 film Top Gun?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18I'm fairly certain on this. It was one of my favourite films growing up.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I'm going to go with Maverick.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Maverick is the answer. Well done. Over to you, Chris.
0:03:25 > 0:03:32What is the title of the David Walliams and Matt Lucas 2010 spoof documentary series about an airport?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39That is Come Fly With Me.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- It is Come Fly With Me. Anyone see that?- Caught a couple of episodes.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- It was quite funny.- It was, actually, in its own wacky way.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Back to you, Gareth.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Monica Galetti found TV fame appearing regularly on which show?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Well, I haven't got a clue, to be fair.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I'll go for...
0:04:06 > 0:04:09DIY SOS.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- Chris?- I'd go for Flog It myself.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Actually, you'd both be wrong. It's MasterChef.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Chris, your chance for the lead.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22Which Oscar did Robert Towne win for his work on the 1974 film Chinatown?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31He wasn't the director, was he?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34It doesn't ring any bells as Supporting Actor,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36so it's... Original Screenplay?
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Chinatown... Yeah, Original Screenplay.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Original Screenplay is it. Well done, Chris.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46They know stuff, but they are all good guessers too.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48OK, Gareth,
0:04:48 > 0:04:54you need to get this one right or you're out. In which year was the TV show Holby City first broadcast?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01This would be one for the wife.
0:05:04 > 0:05:071994.
0:05:07 > 0:05:091994, you say.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Actually, it was '99. It was '99.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16So, Chris has taken the round.
0:05:16 > 0:05:22You've been knocked out, Gareth, I'm afraid. Chris will be in the final and you won't.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Please, both of you, return to your teams.
0:05:24 > 0:05:30The challengers have lost one brain from the final round. The Eggheads have lost no brains so far.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34The next subject is Sport. Somebody's going to want this.
0:05:34 > 0:05:40- Yeah, Phil.- That will be me.- Phil... - Who do you want to take then, Phil?
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- I think Daphne.- Ooh! - Where are you going to take her(?)
0:05:44 > 0:05:50Phil from The Volunteers against Daphne from the Eggheads on Sport. Please go to the question room now.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56So they all went for you, Phil, when I said Sport. You organise the village sports day?
0:05:56 > 0:06:01I'm part of a team. Most of the guys on the team help to organise that.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05It's a lovely day when the whole village gets together.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08We organise five-a-side and whatever for the older kids,
0:06:08 > 0:06:12but the big thing is the athletic races for the younger kids.
0:06:12 > 0:06:18And at the other end of the year, you dress as Father Christmas, but maybe I shouldn't say that!
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- It gives it all away! - It does give it all away.
0:06:20 > 0:06:26I even get to do a sleigh ride through the village in a horse-drawn cart which is lovely.
0:06:26 > 0:06:32- This village sounds better and better. We'll all move down there! - That'll push property prices up!
0:06:32 > 0:06:38So, three questions, the subject is Sport. Whoever answers the most goes through to the final.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Phil, the first or second set? - First set, please.
0:06:44 > 0:06:50Good luck. Here we go. How many goals did Gary Lineker score for the England football team?
0:06:55 > 0:07:01I think there's only a couple of people who have scored over 100.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I'm not sure about this,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07but I think I'm going to go for 78, Jeremy.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- Do you know, Daphne?- 48. - 48 is the answer, Phil.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- Oh!- 48. OK, here's your question, Daphne.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20In which year did the tennis player Ivan Lendl win his first Grand Slam singles title?
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Oh...
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I'm not sure about this.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34It's not '94.
0:07:35 > 0:07:381984.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43Well done. '84 is correct, Daphne. Phil, your question.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Which England rugby union player was fined £3,000
0:07:46 > 0:07:50for jumping off a ferry in Auckland during the 2011 World Cup?
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Well, they were all involved in incidents of various sorts,
0:08:00 > 0:08:05including the infamous Queenstown nightclub event,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08but this particular one was Manu Tuilagi.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12And you're absolutely right, Phil. Manu Tuilagi, it was. Well done.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Right, Daphne,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17see if you can hold your lead.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Which cricketer scored a world record 219
0:08:20 > 0:08:25in a one-day international against the West Indies in December 2011?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I don't know why, but...
0:08:37 > 0:08:43..I think it's Virender Sehwag.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45You've got amazing retentive memory.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- Sometimes you can't even remember why you remember things.- No.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52You're right. It is Virender Sehwag. Well done.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Phil, your question.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58You need to get this question right or she's knocked you out.
0:08:58 > 0:09:04Jaime Alguersuari, who in 2009 became the youngest ever driver to start a Formula One Grand Prix,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06was born in which country?
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Motor-racing is not really my strong point.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I'm going to rule out Spain
0:09:17 > 0:09:20because I think I would know if it was Spain.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Um, Colombia?
0:09:23 > 0:09:27No, I don't think they've produced many Formula One drivers.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29I'm going to go for Brazil, Jeremy.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Brazil is your answer. Do you know, Daphne?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35It sounds as if Brazil is wrong,
0:09:35 > 0:09:39so I think I might have gone for Colombia.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41That's a relief. You were wrong as well.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44It's Spain. Spain is the answer, Phil.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46So, after three questions,
0:09:46 > 0:09:52no way back. You were beaten by our Egghead and you won't be in the final. Please rejoin your teams.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58The challengers have lost two brains. The Eggheads have lost no brains from the final round.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Not good?
0:10:03 > 0:10:09- Jon, sorry, mate. Jon. - Jon in the middle, you've been volunteered by The Volunteers.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Against whom?
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- I'll try Judith if that's all right. - I think that's a good choice.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18We call her "Judith the Library".
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Yes, I do love books, actually. And arts.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- We chose well there(!)- Jon from The Volunteers versus Judith
0:10:26 > 0:10:31from the Eggheads and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34So, three questions on Arts & Books in turn.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39- Jon, would you like the first or second set?- I'll go first, please.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Here is your first question, Jon.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48The young lawyer Theodore Boone is a character created by which novelist?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Hmm...
0:10:55 > 0:10:59I'm not sure. I don't think it's John Grisham.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05I'm not sure about Patricia Cornwell. It doesn't sound like her.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- I'll try for Dan Brown. - It's not Dan Brown.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11It's John. John Grisham is the answer.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Judith, you can take the lead.
0:11:13 > 0:11:19Joan Lindsay's 1967 novel Picnic At Hanging Rock is set in which country?
0:11:23 > 0:11:28There was also a film, a really good film. It's Australia.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32It is Australia. You're quite right. Back to you, Jon.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37The Life Of Lee is a 2011 autobiography by which comedian?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I could have done with the last question really.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Lee Evans... Could it be Lee Evans?
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Yeah, I think I'll go for Lee Evans, Jeremy.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56You're quite right. It is Lee Evans. Well done.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Off the starting blocks.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Judith, what is Shakespeare's shortest play?
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Oh... I don't think it's Comedy Of Errors.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I think it's Timon Of Athens.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- I think Daphne knows. - Comedy Of Errors.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- Comedy Of Errors.- Oh, no. - You got it wrong. You're level.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Oh, dear.- Jon, she's let you back in.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Try and get this one right, put some pressure on.
0:12:26 > 0:12:32The Madonna With The Family Of Mayor Meyer, which was purchased for over 70 million in 2011,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35is a 16th century painting by which artist?
0:12:42 > 0:12:4616th century, so going back quite a long way.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Again I'm not at all sure about this.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57But I think I'll go for Hans Holbein the Younger.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Hans Holbein the Younger is correct. Very good. Very, very good.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03OK, Judith, see if you can stay in
0:13:03 > 0:13:09- on your favourite subject, Arts & Books. You're looking a bit shaky. - I'm vulnerable.- You are vulnerable.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14To whom is Allen Ginsberg's poem Howl dedicated?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21The trouble is, I don't know who Carl Solomon is,
0:13:21 > 0:13:25but I can't think that it would be Irwin Shaw.
0:13:25 > 0:13:31And I can't think it would be Truman Capote. He'd be too young then.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36So I'll have to go for the unknown Carl Solomon and hope that's right.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- The unknown Carl Solomon is your answer.- Unknown to me.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- If you've got it wrong, you are out of the competition.- I know, I know.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47The correct answer is Carl Solomon, so well done.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Have a moment of self-congratulation.- Thank you.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52So we go to Sudden Death, Jon.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- It gets harder because I don't give you alternative answers.- OK.
0:13:56 > 0:14:03The Sacrament Of The Last Supper is a 1955 painting by which Spanish surrealist artist?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Crikey, um...
0:14:05 > 0:14:071955...
0:14:07 > 0:14:11I'm just trying to think who was still alive at that point.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Spanish surrealist...
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Again I'm not at all sure.
0:14:16 > 0:14:22I'm thinking maybe if Picasso was still alive, then possibly?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I'll go for Pablo Picasso.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- It's not Picasso. It's Salvador Dali.- Dali, yeah.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32OK, Judith, if you get this right,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34you're in the final.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Who wrote the 2011 novel 11/22/63
0:14:37 > 0:14:42in which the main character travels back in time
0:14:42 > 0:14:45to try to prevent the assassination of John F Kennedy?
0:14:45 > 0:14:49I have no idea. I can't even hazard a guess.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Jonathan Franzen.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55No, Stephen King is the answer. Jon, you're still in it.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58This is quite a tight contest here.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Hold your ground.
0:15:00 > 0:15:06CS Forester, the writer best known for his Horatio Hornblower novels, was born in which country?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14You would think that he would be English, wouldn't you?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17But English sounds very obvious, doesn't it?
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Yeah, I think I'd go for English. Yeah, sorry.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Your answer is England?- England.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Egypt is the answer. OK, Judith, back to you.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34"Now as I was young and easy under the apple boughs,
0:15:34 > 0:15:38"about the lilting house and happy as the grass was green"
0:15:38 > 0:15:42are the opening lines to which Dylan Thomas poem?
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Oh, gosh, I thought you were going to say, "Who wrote it?" Dylan Thomas.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Fern Hill.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Yes!
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Yes, indeed. It is Fern Hill.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57You've taken the round, Judith.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01You've won on Arts & Books after looking a tiny bit shaky.
0:16:01 > 0:16:07Jon, I'm sorry, Sudden Death and you died there, so you won't be in the final round and Judith will.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Do come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:16:12 > 0:16:18So, as it stands, the challengers have lost three brains. The Eggheads have lost no brains so far.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21The last subject is Politics. Who would like this?
0:16:21 > 0:16:26- We need to keep our powder dry, so it's going to be me.- Pete, OK.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- Against which Egghead?- Who have we got left?- It can be Pat or Barry.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Pat or Barry?- Barry, I think.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38- All agreed with that?- Yeah. - Pete from The Volunteers versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Please take your positions in the question room.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- Pete, good luck.- Thank you.- Barry, you love your politics, don't you?
0:16:45 > 0:16:52- Possibly.- I'll ask each of you three questions on Politics in turn. Pete, you choose the first or second set.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57I think I'll try and keep to the losing streak so far and go first.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05Pete, the British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin was a member of which political party?
0:17:08 > 0:17:13OK, I'm pretty certain he wasn't Liberal Democrat.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18I've got a feeling he was Labour.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20He was actually Conservative.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- Oh, no.- Back to you, Barry.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29Who was Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1983 to 1989?
0:17:33 > 0:17:361983 to 1989...
0:17:36 > 0:17:39That was still the Thatcher years.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Norman Lamont was the Chancellor for John Major
0:17:42 > 0:17:44and I think John Major was Chancellor
0:17:44 > 0:17:47right at the end of Margaret Thatcher's tenure,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50so I think I will go for Nigel Lawson for this one.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Nigel Lawson is quite right. The father of...?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- The great Nigella.- The great Nigella.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01She makes rich puddings and he writes books on how not to eat them.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Pete, back to you.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Andrew Feldman and which other politician became Co-Chairs
0:18:07 > 0:18:10of the Conservative Party in May 2010?
0:18:15 > 0:18:20Oh, dear! I think I might be continuing the losing streak.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I don't think it was Malik.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30I think I'm going to go for Sayeeda Warsi.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35Sayeeda Warsi is absolutely right. Well done. Baroness Warsi.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Good, good. I'm glad you got that.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Barry, see if you can keep the lead.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44In December 2011, Elio Di Rupo became the Prime Minister of which country?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Could you spell that name, please?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54E-L-I-O, D-I, R-U-P-O.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Elio Di Rupo...
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Now, Belgium have had a lot of interesting politics of late
0:19:00 > 0:19:04because they haven't managed to form a government for a long time
0:19:04 > 0:19:08and they finally formed one this year,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10so I'm wondering if it could be him, finally?
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- So I shall go for Belgium. - Belgium is the right answer, Barry.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17You've got two points now,
0:19:17 > 0:19:20so, Pete, you need this answer correct or he's knocked you out.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25Edward Heath became an MP for which constituency in 1950?
0:19:32 > 0:19:36I've got a feeling that might be Woodford.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Woodford. Is that the right answer, Eggheads?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- No.- Bexley.- Bexley. - Bexley is the answer.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Oh, well...
0:19:43 > 0:19:46So I'm sorry, Pete.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- No worries.- You've lost to Barry and Barry will be in the final.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Come back to us now and we will play that final round.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads can't take part,
0:20:03 > 0:20:09so, Pete, Jon, Gareth and Phil from The Volunteers, would you please leave the studio?
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- I'm sorry about this, Nigel. - It's the way it goes, Jeremy.
0:20:14 > 0:20:20- You can remonstrate with them later on in The Volunteer pub.- I might have a few words.- You are a vet?
0:20:20 > 0:20:25- Practising veterinary surgeon, yeah. - I assumed vets in the country do cows, but not so much now?- No.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28We're not really James Herriot any more.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32We've moved over to what you might call "paediatrics with fur".
0:20:32 > 0:20:36We tend to do a lot of pets. Dogs and cats are our main occupation.
0:20:36 > 0:20:42There still are a lot of farm vets, but not as many as there were five or ten years ago.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45If you have a knock-out drop for these five, administer it now.
0:20:45 > 0:20:51- Now's the time.- You're playing to win The Volunteers £15,000. There's quite a big jackpot today.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Daphne, Chris, Barry, Pat and Judith, you're playing for something
0:20:55 > 0:20:58that money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05They are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Nigel, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:21:09 > 0:21:14- Would you like to go first or second?- I think I'd like to go first, really.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Nigel, good luck. They're egging you on behind you.
0:21:20 > 0:21:26What was the name of the character regularly played by Nigel Planer in the TV comedy series The Young Ones?
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Funnily enough, we've got a regular in The Volunteer
0:21:33 > 0:21:35who we tend to, uh...
0:21:35 > 0:21:39He reminds us a lot of the character in The Young Ones
0:21:39 > 0:21:42and his name is Neil, so I'll go for Neil.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47Neil is the right answer. You got the first question right.
0:21:47 > 0:21:53Eggheads, according to the proverb based on a Biblical quotation, which cat cannot change its spots?
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- Leopard.- Do you agree? - Yeah, leopard.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02That's the leopard, Jeremy.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05The leopard is the right answer.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07They may get harder.
0:22:07 > 0:22:13Your question, Nigel. On which date did Captain Scott and his team arrive at the South Pole,
0:22:13 > 0:22:18only to discover that Roald Amundsen had preceded them by about four weeks?
0:22:26 > 0:22:30I actually work, Jeremy, about maybe 300 to 400 yards
0:22:30 > 0:22:34from where Robert Falcon Scott was born in Plymouth.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38He was born in Outland Road just near the Plymouth Argyle football stadium.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43And it's about 100 years ago that Captain Scott went to the South Pole,
0:22:43 > 0:22:47so I would say that he arrived at the South Pole
0:22:47 > 0:22:50and found that Amundsen had already got there
0:22:50 > 0:22:53on the 17th of January, 1912.
0:22:53 > 0:22:561912 is your answer...
0:22:56 > 0:22:59You're right. That's handy having that round the corner!
0:22:59 > 0:23:03They've got a big monument too called the Scott Monument.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06If you win, you can kiss it next time you see it.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08OK, Eggheads,
0:23:08 > 0:23:12which station is the Belgian terminus for Eurostar trains?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Midi. Brussels South.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- Bruxelles-Midi.- Yeah. - Brussels South to us.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29It's Brussels South, also known as Bruxelles-Midi.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Bruxelles-Midi is the right answer.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36A train question with Chris on board. Agh! OK...
0:23:36 > 0:23:41Your question, Nigel. Get this one right and you've got three in a row.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Then if they trip up, you get the money. It's that simple.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48In Greek mythology, what type of creature was Chiron?
0:23:53 > 0:23:58Well, I know he wasn't a Gorgon. I know he wasn't a Hydra.
0:23:58 > 0:24:04And in surgery, Chiron is a very important person
0:24:04 > 0:24:09and certainly to veterinary surgeons.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14We probably all know that Chiron was a Centaur - half man, half horse.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18You've got it right, with the background as well.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Now I see why you saved him up to the end, you four.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25It was all just a cover to play Nigel in the final round.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27OK, we've got a contest here.
0:24:27 > 0:24:33£15,000 up for grabs. They have not taken any lumps out of you yet because you're all still sat there.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37But if you get this one question wrong, they have won the money.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Which opera was written by Benjamin Britten
0:24:42 > 0:24:47as a result of a BBC commission in 1966?
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- Gloriana...- Gloriana was for the Queen's wedding.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- That was a little early. - That was earlier than '66.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04I think it's Owen Wingrave.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Who is Owen Wingrave?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- I don't know. - I don't know.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- But that would be my guess.- Yeah.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16- And mine.- The other two just don't make any sense to me.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23- What do you think? Do we...?- Yeah. - We've nothing else to go on. Yeah.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26We don't know, Jeremy, but we're going for Owen Wingrave.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30You're going for Owen Wingrave, a person of whom you've never heard.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Yes.- With £15,000 in the balance. - Yes.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36And that came from Daphne via Barry and spread.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40And it was Judith who held out, wasn't it, Judith?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43I kept saying, "Who is Owen Wingrave?" That's the clue.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47It's lucky nobody listened to you. It was Owen Wingrave. Well done.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Owen Wingrave is the answer. OK, three questions each.
0:25:51 > 0:25:57Three right each. Couldn't be tenser. £15,000 the jackpot, which is big. We go to Sudden Death.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01It gets a bit harder because I don't give you alternatives, Nigel.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06Gennaio is the Italian word for which month of the year?
0:26:06 > 0:26:10It's spelt G-E-N-N-A-I-O.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Gennaio.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24I don't think it's January, so I'll take that one out straight away.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Um...
0:26:28 > 0:26:31And it's the Italian, not the Latin.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35So...
0:26:35 > 0:26:39I don't know why, but for some reason, I think it might be November.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- So I'll say November. - November is your answer.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- Eggheads, do you know? - I'd have gone for January.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Just on the basis of how it sounds?- Yeah.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Gennaio, January... January is the answer, Nigel.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- January, Gennaio, too obvious? - I thought it was too obvious.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59OK, we haven't lost yet.
0:26:59 > 0:27:05Eggheads, if you get this one right, you've won the contest. What is the official language of Tunisia?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- Arabic.- Arabic.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Or French.- What else could it be? - What other options?
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- French.- Arabic or French?- That can't be their official language.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- It's got to be Arabic.- Arabic.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23- It could be Berber, but I don't think so.- The French were there once, but I think they're long gone.
0:27:23 > 0:27:29- They removed French as an official language when they became independent.- Are we resolved on that?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- Yeah.- We're going to go for Arabic, Jeremy.
0:27:32 > 0:27:38If you've got this right, the contest is over after brilliant play by Nigel.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Eggheads, the answer is Arabic,
0:27:40 > 0:27:44so we say congratulations, you have won.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53You fought so well. Often three right is enough.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57You do stumble sometimes on the third question.
0:27:57 > 0:28:02- Well done, Nigel. You really brought out the big guns at the end. My goodness!- Thank you.
0:28:02 > 0:28:08Commiserations. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and their winning streak continues.
0:28:08 > 0:28:14The Volunteers won't be going home with the £15,000, so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? We'll see next time
0:28:18 > 0:28:24if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat them. £16,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
