0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 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 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are Unos from Merseyside.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Now, this team of friends attend their local pub quiz
0:00:40 > 0:00:41in Whiston every Thursday
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and, after testing their brainpower,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47they like nothing more than a trip next door to their favourite kebab shop
0:00:47 > 0:00:49which is called Unos. Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi. I'm Phil. I'm 27 and I'm a trainee counsellor.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi. I'm Ian. I'm 41 and I'm into community radio.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hi. I'm Alan. I'm 38 and I'm a complaints handler.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi. I'm Mark. I'm 46 and I'm a school network manager.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi. I'm Peter. I'm aged 50 and I'm a taxi driver.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Phil and team, welcome.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- Thank you.- Great to see you. So you troop into Unos
0:01:10 > 0:01:15- and what do you order?- Personally, I'm partial to a chicken kebab.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18We all vary, really.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- But the hotter, the better.- Sounds like a very, very lively quiz night.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24I mean, there's beer, there's kebabs.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- There is a bit of quizzing as well? - Of course. Yeah.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28It's a very British thing, quizzing.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- It's just something very particular to this country, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34What is it that you love about it?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36The banter with us, particularly, as a team.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40But, as well as that, it's fun but it's competitive as well.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- We like to win.- I hope you do really well here today.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53So, Unos, the Eggheads have won the last three games,
0:01:53 > 0:01:57which means £4,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Would you like to start? - Absolutely.- Yes.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02First head-to-head battle is on the subject of geography.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Who would like this?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Which person? Geography.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- What do you think, lads? - I think Phil.- It was Phil.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Me?- Yeah.- OK.- Phil? OK, good.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Against who? You can have anyone there.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- Such a choice.- It is a choice, isn't it? Look at them.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21I' d like to try Barry, please, Jeremy.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24OK. So Phil from Unos versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26And, to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29would you please take your positions in our Question Room.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Are you up for this, Barry? Geography?- Yes, I love geography.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36And any particular part of the world?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Parts I don't know about. I like to learn new things.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Where would you go if I gave you a ticket anywhere?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I'd probably go to Jaipur and see the Taj Mahal.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Phil, where would you go?
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Las Vegas I think, Jeremy.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- I've never been there. I've always wanted to go.- Great stuff.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54OK. Good luck here, Phil. Three multiple-choice questions
0:02:54 > 0:02:56and you can choose the first or the second set.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Can I go first, please, Jeremy?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Here we go, Phil. The island of Vikingen,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07V-I-K-I-N-G-E-N,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10stands on which major line of latitude? Is it...
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Viking of course is Scandinavian.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I'm going to say Arctic Circle, please, Jeremy.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Absolutely right, Phil. Well done. Arctic Circle it is.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Barry, the island of New Guinea is located in which ocean? Is it...
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Ah, it's absolutely not the Atlantic.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Now, where does the Pacific and the Indian change?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43This is quite tricky.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49I think it's just in the Indian Ocean, so I'm going to go Indian.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Now, we've got a rule, haven't we? If in doubt, you say Pacific.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I do, but I thought it was just at the end of the Indian Ocean.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58It's the Pacific.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03OK, Phil. Back to you. Your second question.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- How about that? You're in the lead already.- Brilliant start. Made up.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Lake Tanganyika's most southerly point is in which country? Is it...
0:04:15 > 0:04:19I'm instantly drawn to Kenya, to be honest.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24And I know, as a rule, and we've discussed this as a team,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26if in doubt, go straight down the middle,
0:04:26 > 0:04:29and that's what I'm going to do, Jeremy. Malawi, please.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- It's not Malawi, it's Zambia. - Right.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Back to you, Barry.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Amersham and High Wycombe are towns in which range of hills? Is it...
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Amersham and High Wycombe. The Quantocks are in Somerset.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50I think the South Downs are probably in East or West Sussex.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54And the Chilterns, I'm not quite sure where they are.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58They're not in the Quantocks, they're not in Somerset.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I think I'm going to go for Chilterns out of those three.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Chilterns is the right answer.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05So one each and back to you, Phil.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09The Australian outback town of Coober Pedy
0:05:09 > 0:05:13is a centre for the mining of which precious stone? Is it...
0:05:16 > 0:05:17OK.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I think I've actually heard of this, Jeremy.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22And I'll just be straight to the point
0:05:22 > 0:05:27and say that I'm inclined towards topaz.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32I think I read it somewhere. It is lodged in there somewhere.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34So I'm going to go with topaz.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35OK. Very difficult question. Topaz.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Any Eggheads know the answer?- Opals.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Opal is what they're saying here.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Opal is the answer.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Barry, your third question.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Hot Springs, the USA's only national park in an urban area,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49is in which state? Is it...
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Hot Springs.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Well, Hot Springs suggests volcanic activity.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Yellowstone National Park is mostly in Wyoming
0:06:04 > 0:06:06and a bit of that goes into Montana.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I'm just wondering if those parks in Arkansas
0:06:08 > 0:06:13have any hot springs in. I can't think of anything immediately,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15so I shall try Montana.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Montana is wrong. It's Arkansas.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20You're level after three questions.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22We go to Sudden Death now, Phil.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25So gets a bit harder, I don't give you multiple answers.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30The French towns of Saumur and Tours are on which major river?
0:06:33 > 0:06:38I've heard of Tours, and that's purely because I'm a football fan.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42I'm a bit of an anorak when it comes to teams and regions.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47The River Louvre.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52It's Loire. It's Loire.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Barry, over to you. The Central American countries
0:06:55 > 0:06:58of Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador
0:06:58 > 0:07:02have similar flags consisting of three horizontal stripes
0:07:02 > 0:07:04of which two colours?
0:07:04 > 0:07:08They all have flags that contain blue and white stripes.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10If it's right, you take the round.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Do you think he's got this right, Phil?- Yeah, I do.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Yeah, you are. Blue and white it is.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17So, on Sudden Death, Barry nicks it and will be in the final round.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Well done, Barry. Well done, Phil. Come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25The challengers have lost a brain,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27the Eggheads haven't lost one yet.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30The next subject is music. So who would like this?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- Shall I take that?- Ian? - Yep.- I'll take that, please.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38OK, Ian. And which Egghead?
0:07:40 > 0:07:41What do you think?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I think I'd like to take Dave on, please.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47OK, so it's going to be Ian from Unos versus Dave,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Tremendous Knowledge Dave, from the Eggheads.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53To ensure there's no conferring, would you take your positions in the Question Room.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59I'm thinking this is up your street, Ian, with your community radio work.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I'd like to think so but, for me,
0:08:01 > 0:08:05community radio's more about the speech-based elements of things,
0:08:05 > 0:08:06rather than the music.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07The music's the filler.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11The community side is the important part to us,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14making sure that local charities,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17local organisations get a voice.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Yeah, and very valued once you get it going.- Absolutely.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23OK. Good luck against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27It's music we're talking about. Three questions, multiple choice.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29You can choose the first or the second set.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30I'll take the first set, please.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Here we go and good luck. Who made the 1975 album,
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42the first album to debut at number one
0:08:42 > 0:08:45in the US pop albums chart? Was it...
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Rod Stewart doesn't sound like the type of person
0:08:54 > 0:08:58who would make an album with such a convoluted name.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02So that leaves me with Bryan Ferry and Elton John.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04I think Elton John was bigger in the United States,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06so I'm going to go for Elton John.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08And it's exactly right, well done. Elton John it was.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11OK, Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Rapunzel, Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood
0:09:14 > 0:09:16are characters in which musical? Is it...
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Right. I've not heard of these characters at all
0:09:23 > 0:09:26but just on the title of the musical, I'll go Into The Woods.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Into The Woods is the correct answer. Well done, you.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32OK, Ian.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35In 2002, Antonio Pappano
0:09:35 > 0:09:38became music director of which opera house? Is it...
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Well, opera's not my strongest suit.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53I think I would rule out Covent Garden,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56due to the fact that if it's British,
0:09:56 > 0:09:58it's something I might have picked up on.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01And, out of the other two, it's the final one, Bayreuth,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03that I would plump for.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I understand, but it's not right.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07It is Covent Garden. Covent Garden.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10So, over to you, Dave.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Blur's first UK number one single, Country House,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16came from which album? Is it...
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Just having a quick think about it
0:10:21 > 0:10:24because Parklife and The Great Escape were at similar times.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I'm ruling out Blur.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28I don't think it was on Parklife,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30so I'll go with The Great Escape
0:10:30 > 0:10:32and live by the consequences.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35The Great Escape is the right answer. Well done.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Yeah.- So Dave pulls into the lead. And that means, Ian,
0:10:38 > 0:10:39you need to get this one right.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Which Oscar-nominated film actor had a UK top ten single
0:10:43 > 0:10:46in 1968 with the song, MacArthur Park?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54This is one of those songs, it sticks in my brain
0:10:54 > 0:10:58for the pure, simple reason that it's got the immortal lyric,
0:10:58 > 0:11:02"Who left the cake out in the rain?" I think it's Richard Harris.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Yeah, it's a very unusual rendition and an unusual song.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08And it is Richard Harris. Well done. You've got two points.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Dave, if you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15What is the surname of the husband and wife song-writing team Alan and Marilyn
0:11:15 > 0:11:18who, in 1982, had three songs nominated
0:11:18 > 0:11:20for an Academy Award? Is it...
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Right, well, 1982 would probably point to Fame.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31No, that's 1980 actually, the film. The TV series '82.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I'm trying to think what films were around.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Possibly An Officer And A Gentleman.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39It's a total guess, and I'll go Bergman.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Is he right, Eggheads?- Yeah.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Bergman is the right answer.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Dave, you've taken the round.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Sorry, Ian. You can't help your team in the final round.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49And you will do, Dave.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Please, both of you come back here, rejoin your team mates.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56The challengers have lost two brains,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59the Eggheads have lost no brains so far from the all-important final.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02The next subject is sport.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- I reckon you're going to love this.- Yes.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06There's going to be a fight.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Always going to be you.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Peter?- Yeah.- Which Egghead? Judith, please.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17So it's Peter from Unos versus Judith...
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I'm not even going to comment. Not even going to make a remark.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22..versus Judith from the Eggheads on sport.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26To ensure there's no conferring, take your positions in the Question Room.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- So Peter, you're a cab driver? - Yeah, that's right, yeah.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32You describe yourself as the, "agony uncle of the road".
0:12:32 > 0:12:37Yeah, yeah. We pick a lot of different kinds of people up all day long,
0:12:37 > 0:12:39and it's just interesting, the amount of information
0:12:39 > 0:12:43that a total stranger will willingly reveal to you.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I'm just wondering if you could help
0:12:45 > 0:12:48with any of Judith's problems with sport.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I can't think of what to say to him.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51OK.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Shall we just play the round? - Yes. Let's get it over with.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- But you might win.- You never know.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I'll ask each of you three questions on sport in turn.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Peter, would you like the first or the second set of questions?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I'll go for the first set, please, Jeremy.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08OK, here we go, your first question.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11In the UK, what is the maximum number of dogs
0:13:11 > 0:13:14that can take part in a greyhound race? Is it...
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Right. I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this one.
0:13:23 > 0:13:2515 is far too many.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31Ten just doesn't seem... It would be too wide a track for ten.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34I'm pretty confident that there are six greyhounds.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Six is right. Well done.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Judith, which tennis tournament for mixed teams was founded in 1988,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46and is played shortly before the Australian Open? Is it...
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Oh, goodness.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Well, not the Davis Cup.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- I think it's the Hopman Cup. - You're right. Well done.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Peter, where was the ICC Global Cricket Academy opened in 2010?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Well, initially,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I am drawn to China.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I don't really see Monaco
0:14:20 > 0:14:24as being the type of place that has cricket.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Dubai the same.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30I think China's the most obvious, so I'll go for China.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- It's actually Dubai. - Oh, really?- Funnily enough.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34But I can see why you say China.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36It's the obvious expansion place, isn't it?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Yeah, I mean, well, it's an Asian country,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- so you're thinking Indian and, you know, Pakistan.- Yeah.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Judith, over to you. You could take the lead in sport.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48And we have got ticker tape and balloons ready.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53In 2009, West Ham United football club renamed their centenary stand
0:14:53 > 0:14:56in honour of which of their former players? Was it...
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Don't know. I don't know any football questions.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Billy Bonds. Trevor Brooking.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12- OK, stand by everybody. It's the right answer.- Amazing.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Now, Judith is now in the lead on sport.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Peter, you will definitely have helped her if you lose this round.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23OK, the Dante Festival, featuring the Dante Stakes,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26is a meeting at which race course. Is it...
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Dante Stakes. I don't think it's Haydock. I've been to Haydock.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37I don't remember going to a course with the Dante Stakes.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42So it's York or Newbury. I'm drawn towards York.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43So I'm going to rule out Newbury,
0:15:43 > 0:15:45go with instinct and I'll go with York.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48York is the right answer. Well done, you're still in it.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Judith, if you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54At the first modern Olympics in 1896,
0:15:54 > 0:15:57the UK team won gold medals in tennis
0:15:57 > 0:16:00and which other sport? Was it...
0:16:05 > 0:16:06I was wondering whether they had
0:16:06 > 0:16:09either weightlifting or equestrianism...
0:16:11 > 0:16:14..cos 1896 is, sort of, very early on, isn't it?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18I'm going to risk it and say athletics.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Let's see if anyone knows in the Eggheads.- Weightlifting.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Weightlifting is the answer.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25So it's two points each after three questions.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27We go to Sudden Death on sport,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30which I know you're going to enjoy even more, Miss Keppel.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Peter. Here's your question.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34In 1968, who became the first
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Northern Irish European Footballer Of The Year?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41The first Northern Irish Footballer Of The Year?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44The first one that springs to mind,
0:16:44 > 0:16:48and it is an obvious name for that era.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50And I'm going to stick with it, I'm going to say George Best.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52George Best is the right answer.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Judith, your question.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Which British athlete won a women's 400 metre hurdles gold medal
0:17:01 > 0:17:04at the 1993 World Championships?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07If you get this wrong, you'll be out.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08I have no idea.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13I don't know, I can't even think of a woman hurdler.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21I don't know. I have no idea. I really don't know.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Are you passing?- Yep. - Peter, do you know?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- '93.- Sally Gunnell? - Sally Gunnell is right, yeah.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Gosh. Don't remember her.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34So I'm very sorry to say you have been knocked out on sport.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Peter, well done. You are in the final round.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43The challengers have lost two brains
0:17:43 > 0:17:45and the Eggheads have lost a brain.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Now, the last one for you before the final is history.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- Who would like this? - It's got to be Mark, hasn't it?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- Got to be.- OK. I'll do that.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Mark on history against which Egghead?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58It could be Kevin or Pat.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Who would you like to take on?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Pat.- Go for Pat.- Pat, yeah?- Yeah.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Do you know your history? - Yeah. I'm not too bad on history.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11Excellent. So Mark from Unos versus Pat from the Eggheads on history.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Please take your positions, gentlemen.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- So you like your history, Mark? - I do, yes.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21It's always been one of my favourite subjects, even from school,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- even to now, yes. - And Pat, I know you love yours
0:18:24 > 0:18:26cos you've done loads of history rounds successfully.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30But what is it that turns a person on to history, Pat?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Well, it's the story of the past, isn't it?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36All those people who were just as real as we are
0:18:36 > 0:18:40but, unless you find out about what they did and how they lived,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42you don't really appreciate that.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Right. OK. Three multiple-choice questions on history in turn.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Mark, you can choose the first or second set.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53So here we go, good luck.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57In ancient Egyptian art, a crook and which implement
0:18:57 > 0:19:01were used to symbolise the office of Pharaoh. Was it...
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Well, I went to Egypt about seven or eight years ago,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10so I'm hoping that I do know this.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I'm positive that it's not a bucket
0:19:12 > 0:19:14and also not a pitchfork.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17I'm almost positive that it is a flail.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18Flail is the right answer.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23OK, first point to you. Over to Pat. Who was US president
0:19:23 > 0:19:28at the time of Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne? Was it...
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Well, let's see. Roosevelt had his big, long spell in office,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40but it ended in '45. '44, '45.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45Lyndon B Johnson succeeded Kennedy after the assassination in '63.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48So in the early '50s, that's Harry S Truman.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Harry S Truman is the right answer. One each. Back to you, Mark.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56In the 19th century, the Dead Rabbits and the Shirt Tails
0:19:56 > 0:19:59were notorious gangs in which US city?
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Well, nothing springs to mind about rabbits or shirt tails
0:20:10 > 0:20:13associated with any of them three cities.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17I'll just go for San Francisco.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21No, it is New York. Sorry to say.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Pat, your question on history.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Who succeeded Hitler
0:20:25 > 0:20:29as German Head Of State in 1945? Was it...
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Not the greatest gig in the world.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40He only held office for a fairly short time.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42And I think he was a big wheel from the navy.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I think it was Karl Donitz.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Karl Donitz is the right answer. Well done.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51So see if you can get this one right, Mark.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Which part of Britain was the home of the Deceangli tribe
0:20:55 > 0:20:58at the time of the Roman occupation? Was it...
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Well, I'm almost sure that it's not Scotland.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13I'm sure it's not Wales. Just because of the angli,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I'm going to for South East England.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Let me ask the Eggheads. Is it correct?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20It's North Wales. Cos it's also Anglesey.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24North Wales is the answer. So I'm sorry.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27You have no way back there after your questions.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30And Pat will be in the final. Well done, Pat.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Mark, you've been knocked out. If you come back to us, we will play the final round.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36This is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39It is time for our final round, which is general knowledge.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:42 > 0:21:44won't take part in this round.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48So Phil, Ian and Mark from Unos and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50would you please now leave the studio.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- So, Alan and Peter, you are in the final.- Yep.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57And, Alan, you love computer games, is that right?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Yeah, yeah, all kinds.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Mainly puzzle games like Tetris, that kind of thing.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07Cos we saw the other day in a pub, an Eggheads game.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10So you play the Eggheads on a kind of fruit machine type thing.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12And Barry played himself and lost!
0:22:13 > 0:22:18OK, Alan and Peter, you are playing to win Unos £4,000.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Barry, Pat, Kevin and Dave, you're playing for something
0:22:21 > 0:22:24that money can't buy, the Eggheads' very precious reputation.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29This time the questions are all general knowledge
0:22:29 > 0:22:32and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36So, Unos, the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Let's hope they are better than their four. We'd like to go first, please.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45OK, all the best to you. Good luck.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48In January 2012, it was announced that Alesha Dixon
0:22:48 > 0:22:52was to become a judge on which TV show? Was it...
0:22:57 > 0:22:59It was in all the papers.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- Do you know it?- Which do you think?
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- MasterChef? - It's definitely not MasterChef.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10I'd say it's definitely not Britain's Next Top Model.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11I'm almost certain...
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- I don't know.- I think it's definitely Britain's Got Talent.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17All right, we'll go with that. Britain's Got Talent.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Britain's Got Talent is the right answer. Nice one.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24OK, over to you, Eggheads.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29Which Yiddish word is used to refer to a person of honour or integrity? Is it...
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- Mensch then?- Yeah,- OK.- Mensch.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Are we happy with mensch? That's mensch.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Mensch, meaning "what a guy", is that right?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Yes. An honest guy
0:23:43 > 0:23:48who's fair in his dealings with others and a man of respect.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53Mensch is the answer. Describes you perfectly, all of you.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56OK. Unos, here we go.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00In 1987, the Yemeni-born politician, Keith Vaz,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02became an MP for Leicester East,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04representing which political party? Was it...
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- I don't know. - The name doesn't ring a bell.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- 1987. I'd lean towards Labour myself.- Yeah.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20I just think at that time.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24It just rings a bell, so maybe. I'm not saying, I'm no way 100%.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Well, not being that good on politics myself,
0:24:27 > 0:24:31we'll go with Peter's answer and we'll go with Labour.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- Labour's right.- Well done. - Two out of two.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Eggheads, over to you.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41"I was born in the year 1632 in the city of York,"
0:24:41 > 0:24:44is the opening to which English novel? Is it...
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Robinson Crusoe? - Yeah.- Robinson Crusoe.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54That's the opening of Robinson Crusoe.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Robinson Crusoe is correct.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59OK. So it's two each.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Third question. This is often the key moment.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06Get this right, they're under pressure, you may get the prize.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09What is the common name for the cosmetics ingredient
0:25:09 > 0:25:14with the scientific name Simmondsia chinensis? Is it...
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- Any idea?- No. I was supposed to do science. I'm glad I never with that.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29Because of the name, I don't know, it's an unusual-sounding name.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32And you sort of look at the unusual names in that
0:25:32 > 0:25:35and maybe jojoba. But I don't know, again.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38If you can come up with something. Do you know something?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- Don't shout at me. - I won't shout at you.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Again, we'll go with Peter's answer on this one, jojoba oil.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Jojoba oil is correct.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54Good work. Very good. Three out of three in the final round.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Can't ask for more than that. Excellent play.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59OK, Eggheads. A bit of pressure on you now, guys.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04What became the flagship of the Royal Navy fleet in 2011?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13And, if you get this wrong, the contest is over.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17What is the flagship, strictly speaking?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- A nominated premier ship.- Yeah.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25I don't know. I have the very faintest of inklings
0:26:25 > 0:26:29that it might be Argyll, but it's as faint as faint could be.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Yeah. I have a feeling that Bulwark is a submarine.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Bulwark seems an unlikely name for a flagship, doesn't it?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- Yeah.- Is Clyde likely?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47If it was Clyde and we were up in Glasgow,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49we might have come across that, maybe.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53I may be wrong, but I don't think Clyde is a major ship.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57I don't know. I suppose I'd vote for Argyll.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- Yeah.- I apologise if I'm wrong.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- No, there's nothing we can do. - We don't know it.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Seems the most likely. - Yeah, Argyll would be...
0:27:07 > 0:27:11I think it's a frigate or a destroyer or something.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Well, we don't know, Jeremy. We simply don't know.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18So I think Bulwark is a submarine,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20so that probably would rule that out.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25So I think, on balance, we'll have to go for Argyll.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- We don't know it. - Argyll is your answer.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Do you know, Judith? - No, I'm afraid I don't.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- No. You guys know?- No idea.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35I personally would go for Argyll myself, to be honest.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Yeah, there was a sort of familiarity about Argyll.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42There is £4,000 resting on this.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45The answer is not Argyll, it's HMS Bulwark.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- Yes! Yes!- So congratulations. Challengers, you have won.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- How about that? Well done. - Unbelievable.- Well done, guys.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- Totally unreal. - Well, you got three in a row
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- and that does put them under pressure.- That's amazing.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Yeah. Did you come along thinking you might win?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- No.- Confident. Confident.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11We don't need three options for that answer.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14We've all got to get down to Unos, obviously, to celebrate.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- Double kebabs.- Kebabs all round.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19- Plenty of sauce. - Really pleased for you.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Well done at the back as well. Good stuff.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Congratulations. You've just won £4,000.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27- You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads, even better.- Yeah.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28Join us next time on Eggheads
0:28:28 > 0:28:31to see if a new team of challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Until then, what a game. Goodbye.
