0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome 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 > 0:00:34And taking on the might of our quiz champions today
0:00:34 > 0:00:36are the Sensations, from Newcastle.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41This team of friends all share a passion for poker. Let's meet them.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hi, I'm Dave, I'm 25, and I'm a marketing associate.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hello, I'm Neil, I'm 21, and I'm a casino croupier.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Steve, I'm 23, and I'm a croupier.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Aryan, I'm 25, and I'm a croupier.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Gareth, I'm 29, and I'm a poker player.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59- So, Dave and team, welcome.- Hiya.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Poker online or in real life?
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Mostly online, but we play as a team together live.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10There's normally two championships a year when we get together as a team.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Individually, we play in casinos as well, dealing, like our jobs.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17If you play online, can you actually make money out of that?
0:01:17 > 0:01:20There's more money to be made online with more people playing.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23You sometimes get, like, 20,000 people. So...
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Judith, you had a question about this.- Yes, I was thinking -
0:01:26 > 0:01:30I thought half the point of poker was playing with people
0:01:30 > 0:01:33and you study their psychology and see if they're bluffing or not.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36And that must be completely absent if you're playing online.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38It is, but there's other skills incorporated,
0:01:38 > 0:01:43because there's betting patterns that are more to do with online
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- and sort of the time people take on things.- Oh, I see.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I heard the key thing about playing poker online and making money
0:01:49 > 0:01:53is you've got to get on when all the Americans are drunk.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Is that right?- When the Americans are on, or the French.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00Which is 2am American time, which is early morning here, is that right?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Pretty much. That's the best time. That's when the money can be made.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05The famous thing is there's four people round the table,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- one will be cleaned out, and if you can't see who it is, it's you.- Yeah!
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Is that right?- Yeah. Me, yeah.- OK.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13And how will your poker skills help here...
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Er, they won't.- ..with these poker faces? Won't they?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- They will not at all. - Well, good luck.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for challengers,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29So, Sensations, the Eggheads have won just the last game,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32which means £2,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Would you like to start?- Yes.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37OK, the first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Politics.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Who wants this? - Who's any good at politics?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- I think Aryan should take it. - It's between you or...
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- I'll take one for the team. - Aryan, right.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Aryan, we're going to choose, yeah.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51OK. Not especially keen.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- No, not in the slightest. - OK, not in the slightest.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Against which political or non-political person? Which Egghead?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- Who do you reckon? NEIL:- Get Kevin out the way.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Kevin out the way?- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:03:04 > 0:03:09"Kevin out the way" was the shout by our team, so I think, yeah, Kevin.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13OK, fine. Aryan is going to knock Kevin out the way.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14That's how you do it in poker.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17No, no, no, we'll get him back early to enjoy his time to relax.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18You never know.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21So it's Aryan from the Sensations against Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions
0:03:24 > 0:03:26in the Question Room.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28So, Aryan, are you another poker player?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I do play from time to time.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Can you make a living out of it?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36You can do if you put enough time and effort into it,
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- but it's finding that time. Enough time to play.- Sure.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42And you love to travel, is that right?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I've been to the US a few times.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50I enjoy everything apart from flying, so...
0:03:50 > 0:03:52And what about politics? That's the crucial thing here.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- Not really any idea.- Oh, really? OK.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Taking one for the team.- OK.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01That's not the poker approach, is it, to come out with it like that
0:04:01 > 0:04:05but anyway, I'll ask each of you three multiple-choice questions
0:04:05 > 0:04:07on Politics in turn and, Aryan,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Whoever gets most right goes through to the final round.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14I'll go second, please.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Kevin, here's your question.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22In which town in Gloucestershire are the headquarters of GCHQ,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25the government agency that provides communications
0:04:25 > 0:04:27and information intelligence?
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Yeah, they're famously based in Cheltenham. That's where they are.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Cheltenham is the right answer.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- You didn't ever work there, did you? - I didn't, no. No, no, no.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43You had a bit of an MOD background for a while.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Yeah, I know some people who have worked there,
0:04:45 > 0:04:49but no, never had any direct connection with it myself.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Aryan, over to you.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Who became the secretary of state for justice
0:04:52 > 0:04:55for the coalition government in 2010?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Er...
0:05:03 > 0:05:07I know William Hague is a Tory.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Er, so I'll go for William Hague.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16OK, William Hague isn't the right answer. Anyone on the team know?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Kenneth Clarke, I thought. - Kenneth Clarke.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Why aren't you doing this round, then?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23I used to live near Cheltenham as well, so I got the first one right.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Oh, well. Unlucky, Ars!
0:05:26 > 0:05:28OK, Aryan, sorry. William Hague is wrong.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Kenneth Clarke is the right answer.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Kevin, your question.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35The opening of the Scottish Parliament in 1999 gave Scotland
0:05:35 > 0:05:38its first separate parliament since which year?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Well, the original union of the English and Scottish Parliaments
0:05:48 > 0:05:51was in 1707.
0:05:51 > 0:05:531707 is quite right.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56So that's when Scotland stopped having its parliament
0:05:56 > 0:05:57in the first place?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00That's right. The crowns were unified in 1603,
0:06:00 > 0:06:04but it was another 100 years after that before the two parliaments
0:06:04 > 0:06:07ceased to be separate and everything was focused on London.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10And the parliament that was then abolished in Scotland
0:06:10 > 0:06:13had been Edinburgh as well, had it, or where?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- That was in Edinburgh, yes. - Yeah, at Holyrood or somewhere else?
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Not at Holyrood. That was a royal palace.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23I don't think they were necessarily in the same place all the time,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25but it was in Edinburgh anyway.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Interesting. Aryan, your question.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28In January 2012,
0:06:28 > 0:06:32which leading politician was reported as saying he could remember
0:06:32 > 0:06:36the first night of his honeymoon pretty much minute-by-minute?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Now, you need to get this one right.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Er, again, I have no idea.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Erm...
0:06:48 > 0:06:52I know who David Cameron is. I know who Ed Miliband is.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Not sure about Alex Salmond.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Er...
0:06:56 > 0:07:00I'll go for David Cameron.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01David Cameron is the right answer.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Yay!- Well done.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Well done. That's good.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09OK, so, Kevin's question.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12If he gets this right, you'll be out because you got one wrong earlier.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Kevin, your question.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Since 1972, caucuses held in which state have been the first
0:07:18 > 0:07:21major electoral event of the nominating process
0:07:21 > 0:07:23for the president of the United States?
0:07:26 > 0:07:30There's often a lot of jockeying in the states in this process
0:07:30 > 0:07:33because of the publicity and the high profile it brings
0:07:33 > 0:07:36to the states as to who's going to try and get in first.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39In fact, I think they had to bring some laws in in recent years
0:07:39 > 0:07:41to try and stop states jockeying for position.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45The one that's held pole position for a long time now is Iowa.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47You've got it right, well done.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Iowa is in pole position, it is the answer.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51You've got three out of three.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Aryan, you've been knocked out by a senior Egghead, shall we say.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Do, both, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Bad luck, Aryan.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- What can you do?- What can you do?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- And I guess, politics, not really your thing.- Not in the slightest.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- He's a team player, he's a team player.- He did a great thing.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I think you should get a round of applause for just...
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- 50%, that's pretty good. - 50%, exactly.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17As it stands, they have lost a brain, the Sensations,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19and the Eggheads haven't yet, but let's see.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Next subject is Science. Who'd like this?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24THEY DISCUSS
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Steve. Who do you want to play, Steve?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Tremendous Knowledge Dave?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Steve against...?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Steve against Tremendous Knowledge Dave, I believe.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Tremendous Knowledge. OK, good stuff.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Steve from the Sensations, Dave from the Eggheads,
0:08:37 > 0:08:41please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Steve, you're a croupier as well. - I am, yes.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Should've called your team the Croupiers, not the Sensations!
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- It would have been fitting.- Why are they called the Sensations anyway?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53That's from my nickname. Stevie Sensation was my alias
0:08:53 > 0:08:56when first entering the Newcastle poker scene.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Stevie Sensation?- Yes.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00And did you do well in the Newcastle poker scene?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I'm possibly the best player there. LAUGHTER
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Still?- Yes.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07OK, good luck on being the best player here
0:09:07 > 0:09:09in this Science round against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Three questions in turn,
0:09:11 > 0:09:13whoever gets the most right goes through to the final.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Steve, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17I'll go second.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Dave, here we go. In the human body,
0:09:23 > 0:09:27which nerve transmits impulses to the brain from the retina?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34That's the optic nerve.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Optic nerve is the right answer.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Talking of the vagus nerve, Steve,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I gather that's where you like to go on holiday?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I do. It's got everything plus more,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45and I don't see myself going anywhere else on holiday.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47How many times have you been to Las Vegas?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I've been twice, but that's as much as I could really go.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- I just turned 21 two years ago.- Sure.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Steve, your question.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58In which country are the Andasol solar power stations that store
0:09:58 > 0:10:02the sun's heat in tanks of molten salt during the day
0:10:02 > 0:10:05which is then used to provide energy at night?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I have no idea about this question.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16It's a wild guess, but I'm going to go with Greece.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19No, it's not. It's Spain, actually.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22So, Dave, your second question.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27The organisation called W3C sets global standards for what?
0:10:27 > 0:10:28W3C.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37I've not heard of it. Erm, W3C...
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Let me just try and think what the 3C would be.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43I'll go for the internet.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47The internet is your answer, and it's right.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- I guess W3 is "www", is that right? - Yeah, must be.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- What's the C? Anyone know? - JUDITH:- Control.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Control, says Judith.- Maybe.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- The World Wide Web Consortium. - Ah, brilliant.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03OK, at the end, Gareth, World Wide Web Consortium.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Oh, right!- I should have asked... Should've asked this team.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11If there was a round on that, you'd thrash them!
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Thrash them.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14OK, over to you, Steve.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Which arthropod is probably the largest in the world
0:11:17 > 0:11:21in terms of leg-span, reaching up to nearly four metres?
0:11:26 > 0:11:32I've known crabs to have quite long legs. I'm going to go with crab.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Japanese spider crab. - Well done, you're absolutely right.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Japanese spider crab. It's good.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39So, two to Dave.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42If you get this one right, Dave, you're in the final.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44In 1980, the physicist Peter Higgs,
0:11:44 > 0:11:48after whom the Higgs boson and Higgs field are named,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51became professor of theoretical physics at which university?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Right, I don't know, but...
0:12:01 > 0:12:05He sounds British, but...
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Thinking that if he's made those discoveries, the research money
0:12:09 > 0:12:13would be probably more available in America,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16so I'm going to go for Princeton University.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Understand why you've done that, but it's wrong, Dave.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- It's University of Edinburgh.- Fair enough.- University of Edinburgh.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24You have a chance to come back in here, Steve, get this one right.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27What's the chemical symbol of the element palladium?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I'm going to go with what appears to be the easy option,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36with the first two letters, Pa.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Let's see if any of your colleagues know.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- Not a clue.- Not a clue. - Who was learning the periodic table?
0:12:41 > 0:12:46- Was it you, Judith?- Well, I am, but I can't get it into my head.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- I think it's Pd.- It is Pd.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50It is Pd, Steve.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Maybe slightly less obvious.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I'm sorry, you've crashed out of that round,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58and you won't be in the final and Tremendous Knowledge Dave will be.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Both of you, please, come back and we'll play the next round.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05So, Dave, if this was an internet poker game,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08what would you do to change the tactic now?
0:13:08 > 0:13:12I would leave it alone, go out to the pub,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15just let myself get blinded away, have a few drinks
0:13:15 > 0:13:17and forget about the day!
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Losing two players in this game is like losing two rounds in poker
0:13:20 > 0:13:22or something, is it?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25It's like losing half your chip stack, really. Half your money.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Half your chip stack?- Yeah.- OK.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Well, let's see if you can preserve the rest of your chip stack here.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33The challengers have lost two, Eggheads have lost none,
0:13:33 > 0:13:35and the next subject for you is Geography.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Who would like this?- Gareth?
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Yeah, I'll do it.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Gareth, OK, leaping at it. Which Egghead?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Erm, I will take on Daphne.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Gareth versus Daphne on Geography, please take your positions.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- Gareth, you're doing your dream job, I gather?- Yes, I am, Jeremy.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- And what is it?- It's a professional poker player.- Again...
0:13:58 > 0:14:01This is a very interesting team, isn't it, Daphne?
0:14:01 > 0:14:06My son and two of my grandsons play in the poker league
0:14:06 > 0:14:08and they really enjoy it.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10But they...
0:14:10 > 0:14:13It's like a pub league, but they're only allowed to play for points.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16But, Gareth, you're playing online and doing that professionally.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21- So you are able to turn an annual profit, are you?- That's right, yeah.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Are there are any downsides to that?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Even if you're particularly good at the game,
0:14:25 > 0:14:30you can go on a prolonged downswing, which means you'll lose money.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32That's obviously a negative aspect.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36If that happens for a long time, you can lose your whole bankroll
0:14:36 > 0:14:37if you're not careful.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Really interesting.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42And I'll ask each of you three questions on Geography in turn
0:14:42 > 0:14:44and, Gareth, you can choose the first or second set.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I'd like to go second, please.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52So now we know - poker players go second in this game.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53All right, Daphne,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56which capital city is roughly 40 miles away from Vienna?
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Erm, that's Bratislava.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08They're both on the Danube
0:15:08 > 0:15:12and I think they're the closest capital cities to each other.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Is Bratislava capital of...?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Slovakia.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- The other bit of Czechoslovakia, yeah?- Yeah.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Bratislava is quite right, well done.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Gareth, when phoning from the UK,
0:15:23 > 0:15:280031 is the international dialling code for which country?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I'm not entirely sure.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45I'm almost certain it's not Canada, cos I think it has a very low...
0:15:45 > 0:15:49A very low number. I know the USA is 001.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Erm...
0:15:51 > 0:15:55I'm not sure, but I'm going to go for the Netherlands.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Netherlands is the right answer. Well done, Gareth.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Daphne, what is the capital of the South American country of Guyana?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13The capital is Georgetown.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Georgetown is correct.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Well done, Daphne, you got it right.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20On to you, Gareth.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Canada's Mackenzie River flows for over 1,000 miles
0:16:24 > 0:16:26before emptying into which ocean?
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Erm...
0:16:33 > 0:16:39I'm reasonably sure the Mackenzie is the Northwest Territories.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44I would be certain it's not the Pacific.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48I'm pretty sure it'll be the Arctic.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49- Is that your answer?- Yes.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51And it's the right answer - Arctic.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Playing well, Gareth. OK, over to you, Daphne.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Wat Phra Kaew, or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03is in which Asian city?
0:17:09 > 0:17:15Before the answers came up, I thought of Bangkok,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17so that's what I'll go for.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Bangkok is correct. Been there?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I've been to Bangkok, yes.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27I didn't see the Emerald Buddha, but I've been to Bangkok.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32- But you'd think, yes, Thailand, because just that kind of place?- Mm.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36OK. So, she's putting you under a little bit of pressure here, Gareth,
0:17:36 > 0:17:39but as a poker player you'll be well used to that.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41You need to get this one right.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Your third question.
0:17:42 > 0:17:48La Canebiere is a landmark and major thoroughfare in which French city?
0:17:53 > 0:17:59I'm not entirely sure, Jeremy, so this would be a guess.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04I would say Lille.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Let me check with one of our key French people. Judith?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I think it's Marseille, isn't it?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- Yes, it is Marseille.- Yeah.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Have you been there?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15No, never been to Marseille.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19I know it isn't Toulouse, cos that's my local town as it were.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Yeah, so it's not Toulouse, not Lille, it's Marseille, Gareth.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25I'm sorry. Daphne got three out of three, so she's knocked you out,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27which is a shame for your team.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Please both of you come back here and rejoin your team-mates.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Bad luck, Gareth.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Biggest win last year in poker?
0:18:36 > 0:18:41I won a very large tournament last year, which was the biggest field
0:18:41 > 0:18:43in UK history at the time.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46It was for £94,000.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49I think we've had the odd poker player before, and I've met them
0:18:49 > 0:18:53through other programmes, but I'm thinking you may be the best I've...
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- He's the top poker player here, is he?- Me!- Team?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Oh, it's you, is it? OK, all right!
0:18:59 > 0:19:02The challengers have lost three brains, despite their poker skills.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05The Eggheads have still not lost a brain, and we'll have another round
0:19:05 > 0:19:07before the final, which is Film & Television.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Who would like this?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- That'll be me, Jeremy.- OK, Neil.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Against Judith or Chris?
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Judith?- Judith, yeah.- Neil from the Sensations, the poker sensations,
0:19:18 > 0:19:22versus Judith from the Eggheads on Film & TV.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- How about that? Not Sport. - Not sport!
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Please go to the Question Room now.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30So, I will ask each of you three questions on Film & Television
0:19:30 > 0:19:33and, Neil, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Here we go with your first set, good luck.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Who played the role of the former baseball player Sam Malone
0:19:44 > 0:19:46in the TV sitcom Cheers?
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Erm, I seem to remember Burt Reynolds being associated with baseball.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01I can't really think of any times I've heard of the other two,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04so I think I'm going to go for Burt Reynolds.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Anyone know?
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- ALL:- Danson.- They all chorus "Ted Danson". Ted Danson is the answer.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Judith,
0:20:11 > 0:20:16the 1979 television drama series Danger UXB dealt with
0:20:16 > 0:20:18which dangerous profession?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Well, it's another one I haven't seen.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30UXB, now, what on earth could that be about?
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Oh, bomb disposal. Yes, unexploded bomb.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- Unexploded bomb is right.- Yeah.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Bomb disposal is the answer. Well done.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40OK, back to you, Neil.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44In which sport was Gina Carano a leading competitor
0:20:44 > 0:20:49before becoming an actress and star of the 2012 film Haywire?
0:20:56 > 0:21:01Hm. I actually wanted Sport to come up, but not a question like that.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Could you repeat the name, please?
0:21:03 > 0:21:07In which sport was Gina Carano a leading competitor
0:21:07 > 0:21:11before becoming an actress and star of the 2012 film Haywire?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15I think a synchronised swimmer would be quite good at acting.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I'll go for synchronised swimming.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Synchronised swimming is incorrect.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25It's mixed martial arts.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27OK, Neil, bad luck.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Judith, if you get this one right, you are in the final.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36The 1962 film It's Trad, Dad! was the first feature-length movie
0:21:36 > 0:21:37by which director?
0:21:44 > 0:21:47It's Trad, Dad! (It's Trad, Dad!)
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Gosh, I don't know.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Blake Edwards was the Pink Panther man, wasn't he?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Nicholas Roeg was...
0:21:58 > 0:21:59I don't know.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03I'm going to have to bet - haven't been down the right, lately -
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Blake Edwards.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08It's wrong. It's Richard Lester.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09OK, she's let you back in, Neil,
0:22:09 > 0:22:11but you've got to get this one right, OK?
0:22:11 > 0:22:16Who was credited as the screenwriter of the 1993 film True Romance?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Again, isn't a film I've seen.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I know a few Quentin Tarantino films,
0:22:27 > 0:22:31and it doesn't sound like a Tarantino film to me.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36I'm going to take another guess at Wes Anderson.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39No, it is Tarantino, as a matter of fact.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43It's Quentin Tarantino who was the screenwriter of True Romance.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48So, with that, Neil, you've succumbed to Judith, which many do.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Judith, you'll be in the final round.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Please come back and we will play that round.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55This is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:01 > 0:23:03won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07So, Neil, Steve, Aryan and Gareth from the Sensations,
0:23:07 > 0:23:09would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:10 > 0:23:14OK, Dave, this is tough, I know. Playing alone here.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17But you are playing to win the Sensations £2,000.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Judith, Kevin, Dave, Daphne, Chris - you're playing for something
0:23:21 > 0:23:24that money can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30This time questions are all general knowledge, you can confer.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31- DAVE LAUGHS - So, Dave...
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- I know, not very handy for you. - No, I talk to myself quite a bit...
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Maybe they can shout at you or something?
0:23:36 > 0:23:40- Question is, is your brain better than the Eggheads' five.- No!
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Don't answer that, it'll spoil it! Will you go first or second?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I'll go second, please.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Eggheads, your question.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53In the United States, what name is given to a waistcoat?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57That's definitely a vest, isn't it?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- KEVIN:- I'm happy with a vest. Waistcoat.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02That's definitely a vest, Jeremy.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Nice to hear you at the end of the queue there, Chris.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- Yeah, hello! - Your first moment in the game.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Vest is the right answer.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12On to you, Dave.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Which day of the week is called "martes" in Spanish?
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Which day of the week is called "martes" in Spanish?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Not very good at Spanish.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29I know French a little bit. Well, the days of the week.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34I'm going to go a punt down the middle and go Wednesday.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Anyone?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- EGGHEADS:- Tuesday. - Tuesday is the answer.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Tuesday is the answer. OK, Eggheads.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45In 2010, which television presenter set a record for the longest solo
0:24:45 > 0:24:51journey by kayak when she completed a 2,010-mile trip along the Amazon?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57- Who was it?- Helen Skelton.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00She's on Blue Peter.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's Helen Skelton. It's not the other two.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Konnie Huq was from Blue Peter as well.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07It's Helen Skelton, Jeremy.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Helen Skelton is correct.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Over to you, you need to get this one right, Dave, OK?- No problem.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15In which US state is the Carson Desert?
0:25:23 > 0:25:27I'm torn between Nevada and Arizona. Carson.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Something rings a bell about Vegas with Carson.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37I don't know why, so I think I'm going to have to go for Nevada.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- And that's the state that Las Vegas is in, isn't it?- Mm-hm.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- And you've been there how many times?- Three times.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44You guys love to go to Las Vegas.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47It's funny how Las Vegas or Vegas keeps popping up in this game.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48Nevada is the right answer.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- Good.- That was handy, the Vegas connection.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55But, if you get this right, Eggheads, you have taken the round,
0:25:55 > 0:25:58because Dave got one wrong earlier.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01John Wesley and Robert Baden-Powell were both educated
0:26:01 > 0:26:03at which public school?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09CHRIS: Mm.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- Don't think they were at Winchester. - No.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14Baden-Powell and who?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Sorry, Jeremy, could you say that again?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20It was John Wesley and Robert Baden-Powell, was it?
0:26:20 > 0:26:23John Wesley and Robert Baden-Powell were both educated
0:26:23 > 0:26:24at which public school?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Were there any Midlands connections at all with the Wesleys?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Wesley was 18th century, wasn't he? - Yes, he was. Yeah.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Early 18th century when he was born.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Were there any Midlands connections at all?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- Don't think Rugby was going on. - No, well, I don't know it.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- My instinct is for Charterhouse, but...- Yes, mine was, too.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- How long has Charterhouse been going?- Not long.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Medieval?- Quite a long time. Yeah.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Obviously, Winchester is the oldest. - Yeah.- But I don't...
0:26:56 > 0:26:59But there's no Midlands connection...
0:26:59 > 0:27:01I think I'd know if they went to Winchester.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- And Rugby can be ruled out? - I think Rugby was a bit later.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08And I don't think Rugby existed then, in the 18th century.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11CHRIS: Well, 1822, it was going, certainly.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Yeah, Tom Brown's School Days.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18So, we'll go... There's nothing to...
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- Well, let's go for Charterhouse. - OK, Charterhouse.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Agreed on Charterhouse? - Yeah, Charterhouse, then.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24That's Charterhouse, Jeremy.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26If they've got it right, the contest is over.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29A lot of brainpower whizzing around there, I sense.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32A lot of Egghead units being called on.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Pulsating, warming up.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Charterhouse is the correct answer.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Well done, Eggheads, we say congratulations. You've won.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48I didn't know that one either, so no shame in that.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50They do sort of beaver away getting to the answer.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52They took their time, worked it out.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54It's why they're there and I'm here, and they're there!
0:27:54 > 0:27:57A little bit remorseless, but you'd beat them at poker, no question.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- Commiserations. Hope you had a good time.- Really enjoyed ourselves.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:03 > 0:28:05and they still reign supreme over quizland.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08It does mean that the Sensations aren't going home with the £2,000,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Eggheads, very well done. Who will beat you?
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:17 > 0:28:18to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21£3,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
