0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 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 > 0:00:36And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today are...
0:00:37 > 0:00:39This team of colleagues all work for
0:00:39 > 0:00:42the same fundraising technology company based in Altrincham
0:00:42 > 0:00:45and describe their offices as quizzing mad.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, my name's Lee. I'm 28 and I'm an operations manager.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, my name's Sophie. I'm 25 and I'm a business development manager.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, my name's Michael. I'm 33 and I'm a graphic designer.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Natalie. I'm 28 and I'm a sales manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, my name's Mark. I'm 40 and a business development manager.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06- So, Lee and team, welcome. - Thank you.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09And your offices are quizzing mad because you e-mail each other
0:01:09 > 0:01:10with quiz questions, is that right?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Yeah, we're always sending quizzes in e-mails,
0:01:13 > 0:01:17or shouting random questions out in the office, or...
0:01:17 > 0:01:18As often as we can.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- That sounds like fun!- It can be.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22It can be embarrassing, though. LAUGHTER
0:01:22 > 0:01:25So, your fundraising technologies are ways of helping charities
0:01:25 > 0:01:27raise money from live events and stuff, is it?
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Yeah, live events.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Raising through silent live auctions and things like that.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34And you've got to explain The Power Of Greyskull.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Well, it's a reference to He-Man,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39but it's also a reference from an Australian comedian
0:01:39 > 0:01:41that we found quite funny in the office one day.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Can you tell me more, or not?
0:01:43 > 0:01:48He was working in an office and he decided to send...
0:01:48 > 0:01:50amuse himself in the office by playing pranks on people,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and one of them involved sending someone an e-mail
0:01:53 > 0:01:56that had that that as the tagline to it, and we all found it very funny.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57OK.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01So, By The Power Of Greyskull, may you beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03How about that for an e-mail title? Here we go.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:05 > 0:02:07up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14So, By The Power Of Greyskull,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16the Eggheads have won the last two games,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19which means £3,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22First head-to-head battle is on the subject of history.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Who would like this?
0:02:24 > 0:02:25THEY LAUGH
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Lee, I think.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Lee, it's you, is it? - I think it's me, yeah.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Against...?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Go on, Lee, go for it.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I will take on Kevin.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Kevin on history? OK. That's good.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40That's just to be able to talk about it afterwards for years,
0:02:40 > 0:02:41to your grandchildren...
0:02:41 > 0:02:43To my grandchildren, if I was that lucky, yeah.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46The man who's never got a question wrong on history
0:02:46 > 0:02:48since the beginning of Eggheads. Good luck.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51This... I think, round of applause, for this incredible step.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52TEAM APPLAUD
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Right, so, Lee, from By The Power Of Greyskull,
0:02:54 > 0:02:56against Kevin from the Eggheads on history.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00please take your positions in the question room.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05And how is it that you've never got a question wrong in history, Kevin?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- Is that luck, or...? - Yeah, largely. Largely.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10It's...just one of those things, you know.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12It will come to an end at some point.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14It's just...things have fallen that way.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Well, Lee, I'm glad you've chosen Kevin on history,
0:03:17 > 0:03:18- as we don't see it that often.- No.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I'll ask each of you three multiple-choice questions.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Lee, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24I'll go first, please.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32And here we go. Which country's forces occupied Bessarabia in 1940?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Right. I don't think it was the UK.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Erm...
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Bessarabia?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47I think...
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I think from the two remaining choices,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I would go with the Soviet Union.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55You've got it right, Lee. Soviet Union, it is.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58OK, Kevin.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Born in 1688, James Francis Edward, Prince of Wales,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04was also known by what nickname?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11He was the Old Pretender.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13He was indeed the Old Pretender.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14Back to you, Lee.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17What name was given to the defensive alliance
0:04:17 > 0:04:21formed between Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Romania
0:04:21 > 0:04:24in the period between the two world wars?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I've never heard of it before, unfortunately.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I don't think it's Pocket Pact.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45I would probably be drawn to Minor Axis...
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Because there was another, bigger Axis, the Axis Powers?- Yeah.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54But it's wrong, I'm afraid. It's Little Entente.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57They were worried about Germany kicking off again, were they, Kevin?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Largely, yeah. I mean, that was the main thing.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02If the Entente had been between the bigger powers,
0:05:02 > 0:05:06and because these were seen as three crucial Central European powers,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08that was how they came to be known.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Your question. In 1928, which Australian aviator
0:05:12 > 0:05:16led the first transpacific flight from the United States to Australia?
0:05:24 > 0:05:25I think it's the one
0:05:25 > 0:05:28who subsequently had Sydney Airport named after him.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30That's Charles Kingsford Smith.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32That's the right answer.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35So, back to you, Lee. You need to get this one right.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40In 1966, Hastings Banda became the first president of which country?
0:05:46 > 0:05:50I think Zimbabwe is a relatively new country.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I think it was Rhodesia before.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I'm not really sure about Malawi or Djibouti
0:05:56 > 0:05:59and, for that reason, I'll go with Zimbabwe.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02The answer is not Zimbabwe, it's Malawi.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04It's Malawi.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Zimbabwe got independence in, what was it? 1980?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Yes, it was.- So, even more recently than that.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11So, Hastings Banda was Malawi, and that means
0:06:11 > 0:06:14there's no way back for you, Lee, I'm afraid, against Kevin.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Bravely fought, though. And Kevin will be in the final round.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Please, both of you, come back, rejoin your teams.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22So, you've lost a brain.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27The Eggheads have not had a shell cracked yet. But we'll see.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28The next subject is music.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30THEY GASP
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Who wants this? Intake of breath.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- Mark.- I'll go.- Mark?
0:06:34 > 0:06:35- I'm happy to have a go.- OK.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Against anyone but Kevin. Who would you like?
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Daphne.- Daphne, please. - Very decisive. OK.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45So, Mark from The Power Of Greyskull against Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48And just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:06:48 > 0:06:49please take your positions.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Daphne, I gather that the Greyskull which features in He-Man
0:06:56 > 0:06:58has a female heroine?
0:06:58 > 0:06:59She-Ra.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Well done. How do you know that?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Barry told me.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05LAUGHTER
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Would you like to be She-Ra for this round, Daphne?- I would.- OK.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I think she always wins.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15So, I'm going to ask each of you three questions on music in turn,
0:07:15 > 0:07:17and Mark, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Second, please.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Here we go, She-Ra.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Who had a farm in a popular children's song
0:07:25 > 0:07:28that features the recurring line "E-I-E-I-O?"
0:07:35 > 0:07:40Well, actually, one of my great-grandsons was two recently,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43and I bought him one of those singing cards,
0:07:43 > 0:07:47and it was Old MacDonald, and his mum had to hide it.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49What, because it kept going off?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Yes. He kept opening it and shutting it, and opening it...
0:07:53 > 0:07:55So, your answer?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Old MacDonald.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Is the right answer.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00OK, Mark. Your question.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03The steel drum widely used by steel bands
0:08:03 > 0:08:07is a musical instrument normally made from a used...what?
0:08:10 > 0:08:15Right. It's definitely not a bread bin, I know that much.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I'm going to go for oil drum.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Oil drum is absolutely right, Mark. Well done.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Yes! - THEY LAUGH
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Daphne.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Which group had UK hit singles with What Difference Does It Make,
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now and Girlfriend In A Coma?
0:08:38 > 0:08:42I think that's the miserable Smiths.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45It is the miserable Smiths, but how do you know that?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47That's what I want to know. My granny didn't know it.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51It just... Especially Girlfriend In A Coma, you just think,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53"Who would give a song that title?!"
0:08:53 > 0:08:55JEREMY CHUCKLES
0:08:55 > 0:08:56So, Mark, your question.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59"I don't want to be a tiger, cos tigers play too rough,"
0:08:59 > 0:09:02are lines from which Elvis Presley hit?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Right. Elvis was a little bit before my time...
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I don't think it's Hound Dog.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I've a gut feeling... I'm going to go for Wooden Heart.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Wooden Heart. It's not.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Anyone on your team know? Let's have a look.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- It's Teddy Bear.- Teddy Bear!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Chris, you must be an Elvis impersonator?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33# I just want to be your teddy bear. #
0:09:33 > 0:09:34There we go. OK.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38So, it was Elvis, it was Teddy Bear and, Mark, you got it wrong.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Daphne, your question for the round.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Don't Bring Me Down and Mr Blue Sky
0:09:43 > 0:09:46were UK hit singles in the late '70s for which band?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54SHE SIGHS
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Yeah, the '80s rather passed me by.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Um...
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Um...
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Electric Light Orchestra.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Is that another of your guesses? - Yes, I'm sorry.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15No, but you got it right, Daphne. Well done.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17It is ELO, as they are called,
0:10:17 > 0:10:22and Mark, sorry, you've been knocked out on music by She-Ra.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Both of you please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Mark, sorry about that round.- No.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32And I know you have areas other than music that are strengths,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34so your horse skills...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Yes.- ..are remarkable.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Thank you.- Don't be modest. What have you done?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Well, I play polo at weekends during the summer,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45but, in 2010, I came third at the National Championships
0:10:45 > 0:10:49with my horse that I've had since he was 18 months old.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- Amazing. What, in dressage, is that? - Yes, dressage.- Well done.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54The next round is sport,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57so I don't know if you're going to miss a horse question there.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Who would like this?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- It's got to be you.- It's got to be. - It's got to be Natalie.- Natalie?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Fingers crossed most of the questions are on football, but that's me.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08All right. Fingers crossed. Which Egghead?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Um, I'll take Chris, please.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13OK, so it's going to be Natalie from The Power Of Greyskull
0:11:13 > 0:11:14versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:11:16 > 0:11:17please go to the question room.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21So, Natalie, you're a former model?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Yeah, a few years ago now, Jeremy.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Chris, is this the first time you've been picked out by a model?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28It's usually the other way round.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32It is usually the other way round, yeah. Identity parades, mostly.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34All right, so we're on sport. Three questions.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Do you want the first or second set?
0:11:36 > 0:11:37I'll take the first, please.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Here we go. In boxing, what is declared if a fight is terminated
0:11:44 > 0:11:49on the grounds of one boxer's inability to continue safely?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I'm a bit of a girl with boxing, Jeremy.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01I'm not a big boxing fan, but I have a lot of friends that are,
0:12:01 > 0:12:03so I do watch the boxing now and again.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06And I think that's a Technical Knockout.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09TKO, you're absolutely right. Technical Knockout. Well done.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12OK, over to you, Chris.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15What term is used to refer to the forwards of a rugby team,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17especially when they act together, as in a scrum?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23They're the pack, Jeremy.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25They are the pack. Well done.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Natalie, back to you.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Which footballer played in Barcelona's 2011 Champions League winning side
0:12:32 > 0:12:34only two months after major liver surgery?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I...I know this one, Jeremy,
0:12:43 > 0:12:45because I took a bit of an interest in the story.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49It's a phenomenal story about a man overcoming amazing odds,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51and it's Abidal.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55It is Abidal, well done. Point to you, Natalie.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Would you have known that, Chris? - Pah! What do you think?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I don't think you would.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01No, I wouldn't.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06Which Formula One team did Bruno Senna, Ayrton Senna's nephew,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09sign to drive for in the 2012 season?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Hmm.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Once again, something I know nothing about.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Er...
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Who's doing well?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Daphne-style inkle for McLaren, so I'll say McLaren.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27It's not. It's Williams.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29So, Natalie, if you get this one right,
0:13:29 > 0:13:31you've knocked him out on Sport.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37The French cyclist Roger Pingeon won the Tour de France in which year?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40His surname is spelt P-I-N-G-E-O-N.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49I have no idea, Jeremy.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I'm going to rule out '47, cos I'm going to presume
0:13:52 > 0:13:55there wasn't a Tour de France so close to the war.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00My back-up was going to be just down the middle,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03so, I honestly have no idea, but I'm going to go for '67.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06If you've got this right, you're in the final round, Natalie.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- And I can tell you that you have, and you are.- Yes!
0:14:08 > 0:14:11THEY CHEER AND APPLAUD
0:14:11 > 0:14:14You've knocked out an Egghead. Well done.
0:14:14 > 0:14:161967 was the correct answer.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Very, very good. Sorry, Chris, you've been knocked out by Natalie.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25As it stands, the Challenges have lost two brains,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28the Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round
0:14:28 > 0:14:31and our last subject before the final is Arts & Books.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Who wants this?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Is Sophie going to have it? - That's fine.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- Sophie?- I think it might be me.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Are you holding Michael in reserve, is that what's...
0:14:44 > 0:14:46It does look suspiciously like that.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51It's not my strongest but I think we'll hold Michael in reserve.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56So Sophie against which Egghead, it's got to be either Dave or Barry?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Barry.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01So Sophie versus Barry from the Eggheads on Arts & Books
0:15:01 > 0:15:05and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Good luck, Sophie, on Arts & Books. - Thank you.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I see from our note that you are a fan of cage fighting
0:15:11 > 0:15:13which I must say I would not have guessed.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15LAUGHS
0:15:15 > 0:15:19I'm bit of a fan, I do enjoy a bit of cage fighting.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- Have you ever been to see any? - I have a bit.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I saw a bit in New Zealand when I was there.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30I used to see a lot of Thai boxing, really when I went travelling.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Yeah, any type of fighting, really.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34LAUGHTER
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- None in the office, I presume? - Controlled, controlled.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Barry, do you go for any boxing or contact sports?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42I like watching boxing.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47My nephew was involved in a match not so long ago that he won.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- I was quite proud of him for that. - Great stuff.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53We're on Arts & Books, Sophie, which I sensed was not your first choice?
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- No, not my first choice but I'll give it a good go.- OK, good luck.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Three questions and you can choose the first or second set.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I'll go first, thank you.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Here we go, in painting and drawing, what name is given to perspective
0:16:09 > 0:16:12applied to objects in order to create the illusion of depth?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Erm, I'm going to eliminate Cutaway.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I just don't, for some reason, I just don't think it's that.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Foreshortening or Blocking...
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I'm probably going to go with...
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Blocking.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43- It's not immediately guessable, it's not Blocking, I'm afraid to say.- OK.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Eggheads, anyone? - Foreshortening.- Yeah.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Foreshortening is the answer, Sophie. Barry, your question.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Which literary genre that came to prominence in the 1980s,
0:16:51 > 0:16:55with the work of writers like William Gibson, often depicts
0:16:55 > 0:17:01a dehumanised dystopian future, dominated by computer networks?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09I don't know why people think computers are dehumanising
0:17:09 > 0:17:13but Cyberpunk is the genre that we're talking about here.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- My answer is Cyberpunk.- Cyberpunk is the right answer, Barry.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Sophie, back to you.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23Which play by Alan Bennett won the 2006 Tony Award for Best Play?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Erm...
0:17:34 > 0:17:38For some reason, The History Boys jumped out at me.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43I think I'm going to go with The History Boys for that reason.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46You're bang on, it became a film, it's a great piece of work,
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Well done, The History Boys.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49SHE LAUGHS
0:17:49 > 0:17:52So Barry has a chance to pull clear.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56As a teenager, which American author spent some time stealing
0:17:56 > 0:17:59oysters around the San Francisco Bay area?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Oh, I've never heard this, what a lovely question.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Jack London's going back a little while.
0:18:09 > 0:18:15He was an American but I don't know, he was more fond of stories
0:18:15 > 0:18:19of the far North, I'm not too sure he was a Californian.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Hemingway...
0:18:23 > 0:18:28was American but I think he grew up in Illinois or Idaho.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31He grew up in the Midwest, so I don't think he was a Californian
0:18:31 > 0:18:33but I think Faulkner might have been,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36so I shall go for William Faulkner.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Daphne, I reckon you know. Who is it?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Well I don't know but I would have gone for Jack London.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Why would you have gone for Jack London, Daphne?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I think he had quite an impoverished childhood.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52It was just an inkle.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Did you rule him out because he wasn't from California, Jack London?
0:18:55 > 0:18:56I didn't think he was a Californian.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59The answer is Jack London, born in San Francisco.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- Oh, I didn't know that. - OK, so that's interesting,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Sophie you are equal now with one question more.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Get this one right, a bit of pressure on Barry.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Millie-Molly-Mandy, the character created
0:19:09 > 0:19:14by Joyce Lankester Brisley, famously wears a dress with what design?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Millie-Molly-Mandy...
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Erm, I've heard of this, but...
0:19:26 > 0:19:30it doesn't jump out at me.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34This is going to have to be
0:19:34 > 0:19:38a process of elimination, perhaps.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Erm...
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Pink and white stripes...
0:19:42 > 0:19:47I think I would have originally thought black and white dots.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51But for some reason, pink and white stripes
0:19:51 > 0:19:53seems to be jumping out at me.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Silver and white stars, I don't think it's that.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03I'm going to go with pink and white stripes.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Pink and white stripes is the right answer. Playing well!
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Playing really well considering it's not your subject.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13OK, if Barry gets this wrong, he's out.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Which artist, Barry, born in Le Havre in 1901
0:20:16 > 0:20:21created the term, Art Brut, meaning raw or rough art
0:20:21 > 0:20:26to describe art created outside the boundaries of official culture?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Art Brut,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31which is ART B-R-U-T.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Maurice Utrillo was better known for doing Parisian landscapes.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47I think Art Brut, which is often a term used to describe art by people
0:20:47 > 0:20:52who were outside the normal bounds of society, convicts and suchlike.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55I think that was invented by Jean Dubuffet.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58It was indeed invented by Jean Dubuffet. Well done.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01You've taken it to Sudden Death. It gets a bit harder now, Sophie.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Oh no!
0:21:02 > 0:21:06You've got to give me the answer, I won't give you alternatives, OK?
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Worst nightmare.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10That all right, you've got him to a standstill, that's the main thing.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15Here's a quote for you. "My words fly up, my thoughts remain below.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17"Words without thoughts, never to heaven go"
0:21:17 > 0:21:20are lines from which Shakespeare play?
0:21:22 > 0:21:29Right, well, providing that I've seen or read this particular Shakespeare.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33I know that I've seen a couple of plays.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say...
0:21:41 > 0:21:43..Romeo And Juliet.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47It's not, do your team-mates know?
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Anyone here, Eggheads?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- Is it Hamlet?- It is Hamlet, do you know the character?
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- Is it Claudius.- It is, very good Barry, it is Claudius in Hamlet.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56OK, your question for the round.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00By what name is the character Anna Fierling known in the title
0:22:00 > 0:22:04of Bertolt Brecht's play set during the 30 Years' War?
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Ah...
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Now which play is this?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I believe she's known as Mother Courage.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15The play's called Mother Courage And Her Children
0:22:15 > 0:22:17and she is indeed known as Mother Courage.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Well done, you've taken it on Sudden Death.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Sorry, Sophie, but well fought.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22TEAM APPLAUDS
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Come back to us and let's see what we make of the final round.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29This is what we have been playing towards,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32it is time for the final round which is General Knowledge.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34I'm afraid those of you who have lost your head-to-heads
0:22:34 > 0:22:36won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40So Lee, Sophie and Mark from By The Power Of Greyskull
0:22:40 > 0:22:43and Chris from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Michael, were they hiding you until this moment?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Yeah, I'm not very good on the other subjects
0:22:51 > 0:22:53so I decided to stay for the General Knowledge.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55It seems to be a little bit better for me.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I was hoping Film & TV was going to come up.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00You're with the company but you wanted originally to be a rock star?
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Yeah, a while ago! It's a bit late for that now.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07As did we all, by the way... You just became a father recently?
0:23:07 > 0:23:12I have, yes. Just over three months now, just over three months old.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16- Name's Emily.- Congrats.- Thank you. - That's great, win it for her.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Michael and Natalie, you're playing to win By The Power Of Greyskull, £3,000.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Kevin, Daphne, Dave, Barry you are playing for something
0:23:24 > 0:23:27which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32This time they are all General Knowledge questions
0:23:32 > 0:23:34and you can confer with each other.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37So By The Power Of Greyskull, your question is,
0:23:37 > 0:23:40are you two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- Do you want to go first or second? - We'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Good luck to you.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50What is the first name of the EastEnders character that has
0:23:50 > 0:23:52been played by John Altman?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- I don't watch EastEnders. - I'm not an EastEnders' fan.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59We know the names, we watch Coronation Street.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03From the limited time that I've watched EastEnders,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05I don't remember a character called Christian.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10- Grant was played by that...- There is a character called Christian.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15Grant was the guy that does the documentaries in war places.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- It's not him, we'll rule him out. - Christian or Nick?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Nick was Dot's son, wasn't he?
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- Ah, yes.- John Altman... - I'm thinking Christian.?
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- OK, I don't watch it so I'll go with you.- Are you sure?- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30LAUGHS
0:24:30 > 0:24:34We're not sure, something in the back of my mind thinks Christian.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39- OK, you're going to be so annoyed because it's Nick.- Oh!
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- We don't watch it. - Having not watched it,
0:24:43 > 0:24:47you did pretty well to get in that general direction.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51OK, Eggheads, the so-called dot-com bubble that occurred
0:24:51 > 0:24:53on stock exchanges as a result of the rapid expansion
0:24:53 > 0:24:57of internet centred businesses commenced in which decade?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- 1990s, wasn't it?- Must be.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08- It all collapsed around the millennium. So 1990s.- Yep.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13- We believe the answer is the 1990s. - You're absolutely right, 1990s.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15OK, so your question.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19In which mythology are there female beings called the Norns
0:25:19 > 0:25:22who ruled the destiny of gods and men?
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- I haven't got a clue. - I don't know any Japanese mythology.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35The only mythology I'm familiar with is Greek.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39When it first came up I thought it sounded Viking
0:25:39 > 0:25:42or something around that.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46I don't know. Norns....
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- I'm not sure, what do you think? - Greek too obvious?- I don't know.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51I thought...
0:25:53 > 0:25:56I thought Norse mythology but we'll go Greek.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Say Greek?- Erm...
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Just go with it, yeah. - We'll go with...
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Again, not too sure on this but we'll go with Greek.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Greek is your answer.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12It's switched around now, you had the right answer this time. Norse.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17At least, you don't have to be annoyed with each other. OK.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Good sharing of the duties there.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24If they get this one right, then they've won the final.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Here is your question, Eggheads.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29What was the highest value euro banknote issued
0:26:29 > 0:26:33when the currency was introduced at the start of 2002?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- I thought it was 500.- It's 500. Let me just...
0:26:43 > 0:26:4610, 20, 50, 100...
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- It has to be 500.- I'm pretty certain it's 500.- There are seven notes.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58There certainly isn't 1,000.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Five, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, yeah.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09All these drug dealers used to pay in 500 euro notes.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- I don't think they had higher. - They didn't have any larger notes
0:27:13 > 0:27:16because it was to prevent money laundering.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- We'll go with 500.- OK.- OK. - Our answer is 500.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23500 Euros is your answer. If you've got this right the contest is over
0:27:23 > 0:27:27and Barry's absolutely right there is no 1,000 euro note.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29The highest is 500.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Well done, Eggheads, congratulations, you have won.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- I'm so sorry. - They're going to kill us.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Another day you would have just switched the two answers around.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- I know. - It was just a bit of bad luck there.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50It was a good team to have in and you played well
0:27:50 > 0:27:52and you both got to the final, so that's great. Thanks for coming in.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56So the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:27:56 > 0:27:58and they still reign supreme over quizland.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01It does mean our challenges, By The Power Of Greyskull,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03won't be going home with the £3,000
0:28:03 > 0:28:05so the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Eggheads, congratulations, who will beat you?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Join us next time to see
0:28:10 > 0:28:13if a new team of challenges have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16£4,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
