0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 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 > 0:00:35And taking on our quiz champions today are...
0:00:35 > 0:00:37This team of friends quiz every week
0:00:37 > 0:00:40at the Village Inn pub in Southampton.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Let's meet them.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Hi, my name is Ben, I'm 24, and I'm a telesales agent.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Ian, I'm 23, and I'm a customer service advisor.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Jason, I'm 25, and I'm a health researcher.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Joe, I'm 30, and I'm a telesales agent.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Rob, I'm 22, and I'm a student of environmental sciences.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01So, Ben and team, welcome. And you quiz together?
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Yes, at the Village Inn pub. It's in Park Gate, Southampton.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08And you've been friends at university, school, the whole lot?
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- A mixture of university and school and work as well.- Sure.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14And you like the word geronimo, or it's connected with something?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Yeah, I do like the word.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21It's the name of a song by one of my favourite bands - Phantom Planet.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Yeah, who are they? - It's Phantom Planet.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Good luck, guys, and good luck beating the Eggheads.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29There's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37So, Geronimo, the Eggheads have won the last four games,
0:01:37 > 0:01:41which means £5,000 says you can't beat them. Would you like to try?
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Very much so.- Good stuff. OK, bring on Geronimo.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47The first head-to-head battle is on History.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Which Egghead and which of you?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Controversial.- Me, do you think? Is it me for History first up?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- I think... I think that's one of your favourite ones, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- I'll go first, Jeremy.- Rob, OK.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Which Egghead would you like to take on? You've got the pick of all five.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02I'll go with Judith, please.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06OK, so Rob from Geronimo versus Judith from the Eggheads,
0:02:06 > 0:02:10and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13So you're training to be an officer in the Territorial Army, Rob?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Partly, yes. In the Officer Training Corps.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20I'm working towards a potential commission in the Territorial Army.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Which would be a full-time thing?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24No, it would be part-time if I chose to take it the whole way
0:02:24 > 0:02:27and actually attend the commissioning course.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30OK. And what else is going on in your life?
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Well, I'm a student,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34so I'm studying environmental management at Southampton University
0:02:34 > 0:02:37at Masters level, so that takes up most of my time.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39And mixed in with the Officer Training Corps,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41sort of a full-time job.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43OK. And, Rob, your choice -
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- would you like the first or second set of questions?- I'll go first.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Rob, here we go.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54What name was given to a member of the warrior caste in Japan?
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Right. I'm fairly sure I do this one.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I've not actually heard of the second two,
0:03:04 > 0:03:08and samurais are famous for sort of being the warrior caste.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10So I'm pretty sure it's samurai.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Samurai is quite right.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Barry...
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Barry loves Japan, don't you, Barry?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- I do.- So tell us... You all laughed when I said kabuki.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Is that because it's a type of sushi?- It's theatre.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- Theatre?- Japanese theatre. And yakitori is skewered chicken.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28OK, so to get attacked by yakitori that's going to be...
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- You're in big trouble! - You are in big trouble!
0:03:31 > 0:03:33OK, Judith, your question.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35In what year was Britain's first stretch of motorway,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37the Preston Bypass, opened?
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Well, not many cars on the road in 1938 or '18,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50so I think it must be 1958.
0:03:50 > 0:03:541958 is the right answer, Judith. Well done.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Rob, which Australian explorer, author of The Home Of The Blizzard,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04took part in the first ascent of Mount Erebus in 1908?
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Ooh! Erm, I don't think I've heard of any of them.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Mount Erebus...
0:04:19 > 0:04:24No, it's going to be a guess on this one, I think. So...
0:04:24 > 0:04:29My intuition is telling me to go towards Douglas Mawson.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Why did your intuition tell you that?- I don't really know.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34It just took me in that direction.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36As I sit here, the most interesting thing for me
0:04:36 > 0:04:39is when you don't know the answer and you guess or you use intuition
0:04:39 > 0:04:43and how that works, cos it's often right, and it's right again.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Douglas Mawson is correct.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I just don't know. Is that the subconscious or what?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49No, there's some logic behind that answer.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Most people think the highest mountain in Australia is Kosciuszko,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55but Heard Island, which is an Austrian dependency,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58has a mountain called Mawson's Peak, which is actually
0:04:58 > 0:05:01the highest mountain in Australia and its territories.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02So there's some logic there.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- So when you hear the word Mawson, your brain says mountain?- Yes.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06DAPHNE: Yes.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11OK, Judith. Stateira, the daughter of Darius III of Persia,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13married which historical figure?
0:05:13 > 0:05:19And it's spelt S-T-A-T-E, as in state, and then I-R-A. Stateira.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Well, I don't think she married Julius Caesar,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29and I don't think she married Alexander the Great.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32He married someone else.
0:05:32 > 0:05:38But I'm troubled by her not being the right date for Genghis Khan.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43Erm, well, I'm fairly sure it wasn't Julius Caesar or Alexander,
0:05:43 > 0:05:47so it's got to be Genghis Khan, and I just hope the dates fit.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50That would've been a happy marriage, wouldn't it?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Genghis Khan. There's a little bit of...
0:05:53 > 0:05:56What's the word? ..frustration here?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I think Judith had too much knowledge,
0:05:58 > 0:06:02because she probably remembers that Alexander the Great
0:06:02 > 0:06:06was married to Roxane, but he also had other wives.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Yes, he had other.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11And Daphne saying that Alexander the Great was married to Roxane
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- but had other wives. - Oh, right.- So that...
0:06:14 > 0:06:16He was quite young when he died,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19so I didn't think he'd have had time to have other wives.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Alexander the Great is the correct answer there, Judith, I'm sorry.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25And Darius,
0:06:25 > 0:06:27he really went downhill after X Factor, didn't he?
0:06:27 > 0:06:28LAUGHTER
0:06:28 > 0:06:30OK, Rob, your question -
0:06:30 > 0:06:33the Exeter Book, dating from the 10th century,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35is a collection of what?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Fairly sure land registrations was the Domesday Book.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47It was fractionally later. 10th century, that was 11th century.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Recipes or poems.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Poems would be the more logical choice,
0:06:52 > 0:06:57but I have a feeling that it was a recipe book, a famous recipe book
0:06:57 > 0:07:00of very early recipes.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Erm...
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Although between the two... I'm going to go with recipes,
0:07:04 > 0:07:08cos I just have a feeling that it's the less common answer,
0:07:08 > 0:07:12but I just have a gut instinct again that I have heard it somewhere.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15In this case, it's taken you astray, cos it's poems.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Rob, sorry. If Judith gets this one right, we go to Sudden Death.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Judith, the last Duke of Cambridge before Prince William
0:07:21 > 0:07:23was a grandson of which monarch?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30The Duke of Cambridge...
0:07:30 > 0:07:35I'm fairly sure George III had a Duke of Cambridge.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37But did Victoria?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39I'm not sure.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I think I'm going to say...
0:07:43 > 0:07:45..Victoria.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Victoria is your answer. And this is your favourite subject, isn't it?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- I know, I got it wrong!- You got it wrong, yeah!- It was George III.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53It's George III.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- George III, so, Rob, well done. - I thought it might be.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57You've actually...
0:07:57 > 0:08:01That's no small feat, because Judith, as we know, won £1 million
0:08:01 > 0:08:05on a history question once. Well done, you've knocked out Judith,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07who's very strong on History, and you'll be in the final round.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Please both come back and rejoin your teams.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Well done, Rob and team. Great stuff.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17As it stands, the challengers have not lost a brain and Eggheads have.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20So now we move to our next subject, which is Film & Television.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- Who would like this? - THEY DISCUSS
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- That's a pretty straightforward one. - That's me.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26OK, Jason, straight there.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Against which Egghead?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I'll try Chris.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- Right. Chris.- Mm?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Chris, you with us?- Yeah!
0:08:35 > 0:08:36LAUGHTER
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Jason from Geronimo versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44OK, good luck in this round, Film & TV.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Three questions, and you can choose, Jason, the first or the second set.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49I'll go first, please.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Here we go. In 2011, which radio presenter became the voice
0:08:56 > 0:08:59of the title character in the animated TV series Rastamouse?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Right, well I guess I can rule out Tim Westwood.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I'm going to say that because it's an animated series,
0:09:12 > 0:09:16it's probably someone younger, so Reggie Yates is a bit younger than
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Trevor Nelson, I think, so I'll go for Reggie Yates. But I'm not sure.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24Reggie Yates is the right answer. Well done. Good start.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27And here we go with your question, Chris.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30At the start of 2012, Nick Hewer,
0:09:30 > 0:09:34best known from The Apprentice, took over as the host of which programme?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41He's taken over as the host of Countdown,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43which I don't watch any more for reasons of my own.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Would they be anything to do with three consonants and two vowels?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- Yes, they would, rather.- Yes.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53"Carol" is the word.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Ever since she left, Chris has been distraught.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59The correct answer is Countdown, Chris, well done.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Jason, who starred as a woman who lives her life as a man
0:10:03 > 0:10:07in the film Albert Nobbs, released in the UK in 2012?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Again, I've not seen this film.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19I'm not actually familiar with the first two actresses.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I've heard of Glenn Close.
0:10:21 > 0:10:28And I think I've seen her do some fairly sort of masculine roles.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32So, based on that, I'd guess Glenn Close, but I've not seen the film.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Masculine roles in other films?
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Maybe 101 Dalmatians, I think she might be Cruella de Vil.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I think that's right, and, of course, Fatal Attraction as well.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43You're right - Glenn Close it is. I like the logic.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Very good. Very good play.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49OK, Chris, which 1985 film ends with the line,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52"Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!"
0:10:56 > 0:11:00That's when Doc Brown comes back for Marty McFly at the end of
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Back To The Future.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Back To The Future is the right answer.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Jason, your third question. Both playing really well.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Which small town is the main setting
0:11:09 > 0:11:11for Alfred Hitchcock's film The Birds?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Not doing very well with the films I've seen so far.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25My first instinct, just purely out of nowhere, is Fairvale.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27So I'm going to have to go with that, just as a guess,
0:11:27 > 0:11:30but I'm stuck between that and Santa Rosa, but I'll go Fairvale.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Let's see who knows.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- BARRY:- Bodega Bay. - Bod-e-ga or Bod-a-ga Bay. Yeah.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Was that up on signs in the film and stuff, or what?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39No, I don't think so.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41It was just by the sea, presumably.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43It's known that's where he filmed it?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Oh, yes, and the story was by Daphne du Maurier.- Was it?- Mm.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Bodega Bay is the answer.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52So we go to Chris, and you can take the round with this answer, Chris.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Who played the working-class girl in a relationship with
0:11:55 > 0:12:00a Conservative MP in the 1980s sitcom The Other 'Arf?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09I think - I'm not too sure - that was Lorraine Chase.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12It was indeed Lorraine Chase.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I can't remember the sitcom at all, The Other 'Arf.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- No, I can't either, but...- It was her. Chris, you've taken the round.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Well done. And Jason, I'm sorry, you've been knocked out there,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23so you won't be in the final round and Chris will.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25It's getting to be an interesting contest.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Please both come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32So, the challengers have lost a brain but so have the Eggheads.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36And we move now to our next subject, which is Science.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Do we have a scientist?
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Rob was the scientist. He was also the historian.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Also done it, OK. So...?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45What do you think? I think Joe should do Science.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- OK, I think... Yeah, cos we need you for Music.- I'll take Science.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53OK, it's going to be Joe. Against which Egghead, Joe?
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- Daphne, do you reckon?- Not Chris or Judith.- Against Daphne.- Science.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04So, Geronimo Joe versus Egghead Daphne on Science.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Please go to the Question Room now.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08So, three questions on Science.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Joe, you can choose the first or the second set.- First.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Here we go, Joe, good luck.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19In geometry, what specific name is given to the curved line that forms
0:13:19 > 0:13:21the perimeter of a circle?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I don't think it's hypotenuse.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34Not the tangent. I think, the circumference.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Circumference is the right answer.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- It's almost too complicated, that question, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40OK, Daphne.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Rancidification is the decomposition of which constituent of food?
0:13:50 > 0:13:55Well, butter goes rancid, so I assume it's fats and oils.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Fats and oils is the right answer.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Back to you, Joe.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02The vast array of telescopes in the Atacama Desert,
0:14:02 > 0:14:07which became operational 2011, is known by what acronym?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I don't think it's ABIGAIL.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18ALMA... I'm not warming to that.
0:14:18 > 0:14:24I'm going to go for ANNA, purely on a guess.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27And, yeah, I think ANNA.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Let's see if Daphne knows. Daphne?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- No, I don't know.- Anyone? Barry?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34It's ALMA.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36OK, the answer is ALMA, not ANNA.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Now, over to you, Daphne.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Which future Nobel Prize winner taught physics
0:14:42 > 0:14:46at the University of Manchester from 1914 to 1916?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I haven't heard this.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Erm...
0:14:56 > 0:15:04I think going to guess Niels Bohr, simply because he's Danish.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Why would that help you?
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Well, I think Max Planck's German or Austrian, and it was during the war.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Oh, I see what you mean.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- But I don't know.- But you do know, because it is Niels Bohr.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Well done.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Joe, you need to get this one right,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22cos she is a point ahead of you.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Here's your third question.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28What name is given to two prime numbers which differ from each other
0:15:28 > 0:15:30by six, for example, five and 11?
0:15:35 > 0:15:36I don't think it's racy.
0:15:39 > 0:15:45Not flirty. Possibly sexy, I think, primes I'm going to go for.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Sexy primes.- Yeah.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50It's a great question. I know Barry will know.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Yes, the Latin for six is "sex", hence, sexy primes.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59It's because the Latin for six is "sex", so it's sexy. You're right.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Bang on. Well done.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04OK, Daphne, your question. It's two points each.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06If you get this answer, you're in the final.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10The Fernandez reaction signals a positive result to a skin test
0:16:10 > 0:16:12for which disease?
0:16:16 > 0:16:21Well, leprosy, you could obviously see.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Tetanus, diphtheria...
0:16:27 > 0:16:31I've heard of a skin test for diphtheria.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34I think I'll go for diphtheria.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Diphtheria is your answer.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Have we got a health specialist on this side, anyone know?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40I thought it was leprosy, but...
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- Yeah, leprosy is the answer, Daphne. - Oh!
0:16:44 > 0:16:47OK, so we go to Sudden Death, Joe. You've held her off so far.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52Two right out of three, gets a bit harder, I don't give alternatives.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56The British scientist James Chadwick was awarded a Nobel Prize
0:16:56 > 0:16:58in which category in 1935?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Physics?
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Physics is correct.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05LAUGHTER
0:17:05 > 0:17:08He discovered the neutron.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Well done! Daphne, if you get this wrong, you're out.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16Which alkaline earth metal has the chemical symbol Sr?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- SHE SIGHS - Strontium.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Strontium is the right answer, Daphne.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Well done with your periodic table.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25Joe, back to you.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29Barnard's Loop is a nebula visible in which constellation?
0:17:33 > 0:17:37I think this is going to have to be a guess again.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Saturn.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Orion.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Saturn is a planet, or it's not a constellation as well, is it, no?
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- EGGHEADS:- No. - Yeah, Orion is the constellation.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Could've accepted the Hunter.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Daphne, what's the name commonly given to the scientific principle
0:17:53 > 0:17:56that is known as Mariotte's law in France?
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- And if you get this right, you're in the final.- Boyle's law.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Boyle's law is the right answer, Daphne.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06You've taken the round on Sudden Death. You're a doughty fighter.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Sorry, Joe. She's good, isn't she?
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Very good, yes, she is.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Do both come back and rejoin your teams.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17So, as it stands, the challengers have lost two brains,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20the Eggheads have lost one brain from the all-important final round.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23And our last subject before the final is Sport.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Is that good for you?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27I think it is good, yeah.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29And I'm going to take that.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Who's it going to be on this side?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Pat or Barry, guys?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I think Barry would be the best choice.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- Barry?- Think so.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Ben and Barry. Sounds like a kind of ice cream.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44So, Geronimo versus the Eggheads, please take your positions.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48OK, three questions on Sport, and Ben,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I'd like to go first, please.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Here we go. In Formula 1 racing,
0:18:57 > 0:19:01qualifying sessions usually take place on which day of the week?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07OK, I do like Formula 1.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11I don't think anything takes place on Monday or Wednesday.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15I think they have a couple of practises on Thursday and Friday,
0:19:15 > 0:19:19and the qualifying, I believe, takes place on a Saturday.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Saturday is the right answer, well done. Barry, over to you.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26When the equestrian discipline known as eventing was introduced to
0:19:26 > 0:19:32the Olympics in 1912, who were the only people allowed to take part?
0:19:36 > 0:19:41Ooh! Well, I can't imagine it would be farmers and I can't imagine
0:19:41 > 0:19:45it'll be clergyman, but I can see that military officers who would be
0:19:45 > 0:19:49expected to be able to ride a horse at that time would be most likely,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52so I'll go for military officers.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Military officers is the right answer, Barry. Well done.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Back to you, Ben.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain joined which football club from Southampton in 2011?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Right, this is my favourite sport, so this is a good one.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Definitely not Chelsea and it isn't Liverpool,
0:20:12 > 0:20:14so I'll go straight down the middle for Arsenal.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17That's the correct answer. Barry -
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Henry Longhurst was renowned as a writer
0:20:20 > 0:20:22and commentator on which sport?
0:20:25 > 0:20:26It's definitely not rugby union.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31The name does ring a bell, but I'm trying to see what bell it rings.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Henry Longhurst.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36I'm not sure on this, but I'm going to go for golf.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Golf is the right answer, Barry. Nicely done. Back to you, Ben.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- He's proving difficult to shake off, this man, isn't he?- I know.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45In a handicap game of croquet,
0:20:45 > 0:20:50what name is given to an extra turn awarded to a weaker player?
0:20:55 > 0:20:56This is tricky.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00I don't know why I have...
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Some sort of instinct is telling me to go with bisque.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09You're right, bisque it is. Three out of three.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Barry, if you get this wrong, you are out.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Which sport is played by the Fife Flyers?
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Well, Fife is obviously a Scottish town,
0:21:21 > 0:21:25so that would lead me to curling, but I don't think it is curling.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26The Fife Flyers.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32You can certainly travel fairly quickly on a basketball court,
0:21:32 > 0:21:35but I think the one sport where you're likely to fly the most
0:21:35 > 0:21:37would be ice hockey, so I shall go for ice hockey.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Ice hockey is the right answer. Well done.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42So, three out of three for you both. Hard-fought round.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Sudden Death is what we go to now. Ben, are you ready?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- I am.- Gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53Which American tennis player won the men's singles at the US Open
0:21:53 > 0:21:58when he beat Juan Carlos Ferrero in 2003?
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Is Pete Sampras American? I don't know. I think...
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I will plump for...
0:22:07 > 0:22:09..Pete Sampras.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10It's Andy Roddick.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Andy Roddick, oh!
0:22:12 > 0:22:15The last American man to win the title, interestingly.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19So Barry, if you get this right, you've one around.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24During the 1998/1999 season,
0:22:24 > 0:22:28which future manager of the England football team became assistant
0:22:28 > 0:22:31to Alex Ferguson at Manchester United?
0:22:31 > 0:22:36I'm not sure on this, but I'll have a go at Steve McClaren.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Do you think he's right, Ben?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39I think that's right, yeah.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41It is right, Barry. Well done, Steve McClaren it is.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43You've triumphed on Sudden Death. Sorry, Ben.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Team captain has been knocked out here. That's a shame for your team.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51If you come back to us, we'll play the final round.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58But I'm afraid those of you lost your head-to-heads
0:22:58 > 0:23:00can't take part in this round.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04So, Ben, Jason and Joe from Geronimo,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06and also Judith from the Eggheads,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Ian and Rob, you're playing to win Geronimo £5,000.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:23:18 > 0:23:19the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24This time, the questions are all general knowledge,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26you are allowed to confer.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28So, Geronimo, the question is,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33And would you like to go first or second?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35We'd like to go first, keeping with tradition.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Good luck. Three questions away from £5,000. All the best.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44In which comic did Beryl the Peril first appear?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51I must admit, I've never heard of it.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54I have very little idea of any of those three.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- I don't know any. - The Hotspur, I've not even heard of.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Bunty, have you heard of Bunty? - Never heard of any of them.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05The Topper, I have heard of.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09- The one we've heard of, then?- Yeah, I think we'll have to go Topper.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10The Topper.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Just because we've heard of it, The Topper.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Very well played, it's The Topper. And it's not easy,
0:24:17 > 0:24:20cos I would've thought Beano or Dandy would be there, but it wasn't.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21No.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Beryl the Peril in The Topper. Here's your question.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28Eggheads, Life On Air is the autobiography of which broadcaster?
0:24:33 > 0:24:36David Attenborough. David Attenborough.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38That's David Attenborough, Jeremy.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40David Attenborough is the right answer. Who's read it, anyone?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- No.- I have.- Well done.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44And it's brilliant. Absolutely wonderful.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48All round his foreign travels and the bat caves...
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- Everything he does is brilliant. - Yeah. It's a wonderful book.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53David Attenborough. OK, over to you.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Which band, formed in 1971,
0:24:55 > 0:25:00has featured Johnny Thunders and Sylvain Sylvain as members?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Right.- I've heard of the Eagles. - I've heard of the Eagles as well.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13Heard of Dr Feelgood in passing, but never heard anything of theirs.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Or its. Whoever they are.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- New York Dolls. Heard of them? - Never heard of them at all.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21It's going to be another guess then.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Which one, though? Which way?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26I would be inclined to go with the Eagles, because I've heard
0:25:26 > 0:25:29some of their stuff, but none of the names mean anything to me.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34OK, my dad is actually an Eagles fan, so if this is wrong, I'm sorry,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37but we're going to go for Eagles.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Eagles is your answer. Your dad is going to be upset.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42It's almost the most easily rule out-able one,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45because the individual Eagles are all quite famous.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48But, it's the New York Dolls.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51It's the New York Dolls. Johnny Thunders and Sylvain Sylvain.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55OK. Eggheads, to take the lead -
0:25:55 > 0:25:58in 2011, attempts were made to popularise a new
0:25:58 > 0:26:02two-thirds-of-a-pint drink measure in British pubs under what name?
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- EGGHEADS:- Schooner. - The Australian measure?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12That's the schooner.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15I think it's a popular measure in Australia already.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16It didn't catch on here, or what?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18You're joking!
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Have you ever been offered a schooner, Chris?
0:26:21 > 0:26:22- No.- You don't drink halves?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25I don't drink halves, I don't drink schooners.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28It sunk without a trace.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30The schooner is the right answer.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32So, here we are.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37We're perched on the edge of oblivion, Geronimo.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41We need to get this one right. Go to get this one right to stay in.
0:26:41 > 0:26:4459th Street and Lexington Avenue, New York,
0:26:44 > 0:26:48is the address of the flagship store of which retailer?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57So, 5th Avenue is Macy's, that's gone. It's not there anyway.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Both Tiffany & Co
0:26:59 > 0:27:04and Bloomingdale's are famous stores, big stores in New York.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Lexington Avenue, Lexington Avenue.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I've been there.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Trying to remember which one it is.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Tiffany & Co was my first instinct, but...
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- Shall we go with instinct? - I think we're going to have to.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23It's going to be another instinct sort of guess.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Once again, another instinct.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- We'll go for Tiffany & Co. - Tiffany & Co.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Let's see if the Eggheads know. Been here, Eggheads?
0:27:31 > 0:27:34I'm not sure. I think it may be Bloomingdale's.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36The answer is Bloomingdale's.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41So, with one out of three, there's no way back, Geronimo.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45We have to say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53But I loved the logic there, Rob. I could almost see you visualise it.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Yeah, I was trying to map it out, but...
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Yeah, yeah, I could see you were working through it.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Commiserations to the challengers.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02The Eggheads has done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Their winning streak continues.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07It does mean that Geronimo won't be going home with £5,000,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:16 > 0:28:18to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21£6,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
