0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:30against 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 Goliaths today
0:00:34 > 0:00:36are Saints and Sinner.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40This team all work for the same firm of solicitors based in St Helens,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42so let's meet them.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Matt, I'm 29 and I've been a solicitor for almost four years.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Jenna, I'm 25 and I've been a qualified solicitor since August 2010.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Andrew, I'm 48, I've been a solicitor for nearly 18 years,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58although I did take a two-year break to run a hotel in France.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Mark, I'm 29 and I've been a solicitor since qualifying in 2009.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Dave, I'm 30
0:01:06 > 0:01:09and I've been a qualified solicitor with the firm for nearly five years.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- So, Matt, welcome.- Hello.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15And Saints and Sinner - tell us why you've chosen that title.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Well, our firm of solicitors is a big supporter,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20and most of the team are big supporters,
0:01:20 > 0:01:21of St Helens rugby league team
0:01:21 > 0:01:26but Dave on the end is the black sheep and he supports Wigan, who are our bitter rivals.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Which is also a rugby league team. - It is.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- So you're the sinner? - I am indeed.- OK.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35And you're keen to point out that although you are solicitors, you're interesting people.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- We like to think so, yes.- You want that to be officially noted here.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41We want to burst that particular bubble and that myth.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44So what do you all do when you're not being solicitors?
0:01:44 > 0:01:48I think there's a fair few of us who like to go to see gigs.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Myself, I'm a massive Bruce Springsteen fan.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55I think Jenna and Mark are also big fans of Muse and have been to see them live.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57And, Andrew, you mentioned your hotel, so there's that as well.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01What about Dave? As the Sinner, you're just a solicitor, I guess.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Yeah, just a sinner - boring and dull, me.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08OK, every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16So, Saints and Sinner, the Eggheads have actually won the last seven games,
0:02:16 > 0:02:20which means £8,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Nice handy amount of money.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24The first head to head battle is on the subject of geography.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Who would like this?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Mm, that's our captain, I think. - That's you, isn't it?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Yeah.- Yeah.- OK.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Matt, it's you, is it?- It is, yes.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36OK. You've obviously got some kind of strategy going on here.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38You can choose any Egghead you like,
0:02:38 > 0:02:40including our newest Egghead, Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Try Tremendous Knowledge Dave.- Yes. - Do you think?- Try Dave.- Yeah.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- OK. Are we all agreed on that? - Yeah.- OK.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49We'll take on Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52So it is Matt from Saints and Sinner versus Dave from the Eggheads
0:02:52 > 0:02:56and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in our question room.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Three multiple choice questions coming now for you both on geography
0:03:01 > 0:03:04and, Matt, you get the choice of the first or the second set.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Second, please.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11So we start with Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Rio de Janeiro is located in which part of Brazil?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I don't actually know.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Erm...
0:03:22 > 0:03:26I'm going to go southeast but I haven't got a clue, to be honest.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Southeast is correct. - That was a lucky guess.- Lucky you.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Good guess.- How did you do that? I guess you think it's on the coast.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36I did think it was on the coast but I couldn't...
0:03:36 > 0:03:40I just can't get a topographical map of Brazil in my head.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Sometimes it's like that.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Matt, your question. What is the official language of Senegal?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I'm in the same boat as Dave, really.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53I'm not too sure on this one.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I don't think it's English.
0:03:55 > 0:04:02I'm guessing that as there's a few French footballers who originated from Senegal,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I think I'm going to go for French.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Football is a good way of working it out. French is correct.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Well done.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Dave, your question. What is Switzerland's largest city?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Right. Erm, I'm going to rule out Basel.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Erm... Something in the back of my mind is saying Zurich.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I've got to go with that particular instinct
0:04:28 > 0:04:32because Geneva's there and I think it's a credible answer
0:04:32 > 0:04:35but something is saying Zurich to me, ahead of Geneva.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Let's see if your colleagues know. Eggheads?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Yeah, that's right.- Yeah. - Is he right?- Yeah.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Zurich is the right answer, Dave.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44OK, Matt, your question.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48What is the name of the easternmost province of Canada?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Mm. I don't know why I've been picked this category, to be honest.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Er, it's definitely not Nova Scotia because...
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Sorry, did you say easternmost?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06What is the name of the easternmost province of Canada?
0:05:06 > 0:05:12Erm, in that case I think it is Nova Scotia.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17It's not Nova Scotia. It's Newfoundland and Labrador.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21But I thought Nova Scotia was the first bit of Canada you come to.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- No, Newfoundland. - It's on the east coast
0:05:23 > 0:05:26but Newfoundland is an island off the east coast.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28So it's even east of the east.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32I think aeroplanes always used to refuel in Gander.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- Isn't that Gander in Newfoundland? - And then they hop on to Nova Scotia?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39In the days when they couldn't quite make it in one go.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Interesting. OK.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Well, Dave, if you get this one right, you're in the final.
0:05:44 > 0:05:50The fortified historic town of Harar Jugol and the ruins of the ancient city of Aksum
0:05:50 > 0:05:54are UNESCO World Heritage Sites in which country?
0:05:58 > 0:06:03I've not heard of this at all, so it's going to have to be a guess
0:06:03 > 0:06:05and just because of the fact that they're historical sites,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08I would go for Morocco over the other two,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11but it's a total guess. Morocco.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- It's actually Ethiopia.- Fair enough. - So you got it wrong.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17So you've got a chance, Matt, to catch up but you do need to get this one right.
0:06:17 > 0:06:23The 264 metre high Triumph Palace is a feature of which city?
0:06:26 > 0:06:31Oh. Er... I can't think that there'd be...
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I'm not too familiar with it in Moscow,
0:06:34 > 0:06:38so I'm kind of torn between Frankfurt or Madrid
0:06:38 > 0:06:41but I'm not sure whether there'd be a palace in Frankfurt,
0:06:41 > 0:06:45so, again, I'm going to go for a complete guess
0:06:45 > 0:06:47but I'm going to go for Madrid.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- It's not. It is actually Moscow. - Oh.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55I suppose the only way of working it out - it's easy for me because I can see the answer -
0:06:55 > 0:06:59is triumph is one of those sort of Soviet words, I guess.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Well, the Stalinist architecture is vast in scale.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Mm.- So it must be that.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- So if it was large, it would be Russian, that's your rule?- Yeah.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Matt, I'm sorry, you've been knocked out.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12You're out on geography.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Dave, there we are, you turned it around.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Just about.- On a difficult subject. - Scratchy form, though.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- I've got to improve. - It's early days in this contest.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Please, both of you, come back and we'll play on.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29So as it stands the challengers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:07:29 > 0:07:31the Eggheads have lost no brains so far.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36The next subject is arts and books. Who would like this?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- I think we're saying it would be Jenna for that.- Are we?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Jenna? - No, I think we should send Andy.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- No, I think we should send... - Are you sending me?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- Yeah.- I think you might have to take this one.- OK.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Are you being press-ganged there? - A little bit.- OK.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52So a Saint against an Egg. Which one?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Shall we go for Pat?- Yeah, I think we'll go for Pat.- OK. Pat, please.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59OK, Jenna from Saints and Sinner versus Pat from the Eggheads
0:07:59 > 0:08:03and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Good luck to you. Three questions on arts and books in turn
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- and, Jenna, you can choose the first or second set.- First, please.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Here we go. At the end of which West End play
0:08:17 > 0:08:22are audiences traditionally asked not to reveal the ending to others?
0:08:26 > 0:08:27I'm not sure, to be honest,
0:08:27 > 0:08:29but for some reason I'm thinking The Birthday Party
0:08:29 > 0:08:32but I don't really know why.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I'm going to go with The Birthday Party.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36That's a Harold Pinter play.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41It's actually The Mousetrap, which is Agatha Christie, so it's a whodunit, is the answer.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Bad luck. Pat, over to you.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47In which year was the William Shakespeare play Hamlet first published?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I think in the early 1600s
0:08:52 > 0:08:59Shakespeare hit an extraordinary peak of productivity.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03It must be 1603. I'll just think about the dates for a moment.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06He was almost contemporaneous with Elizabeth I.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11Er... 1605 is the Gunpowder Plot and James I,
0:09:11 > 0:09:13so 1603.
0:09:13 > 0:09:181603 is absolutely right. Well done. That's when Hamlet was written.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20OK, over to you, Jenna.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23The Sigma Protocol, the Chancellor Manuscript
0:09:23 > 0:09:28and the Matarese Circle are novels by which author?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Erm, it's no novel that I've... I've not read any of those.
0:09:35 > 0:09:41Erm... I'm going to adopt a down the right-hand side approach
0:09:41 > 0:09:44and go for Frederick Forsyth.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47It's not. It's actually Robert Ludlum.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Pat, on to you.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Liberty Leading The People,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54in which a bare-breasted female figure hoists the French Tricolour in the air
0:09:54 > 0:09:58is an iconic painting by which French artist?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Gauguin is a bit later, I think,
0:10:05 > 0:10:10and specialised in fairly yellow-coloured pictures of natives.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Henri Rousseau,
0:10:13 > 0:10:17hasn't he got the tiger and the lion in his jungle pictures?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19But this is a very, very famous image.
0:10:19 > 0:10:25It was on the cover of a Coldplay album. It's by Eugene Delacroix.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29The answer is Eugene Delacroix. A Coldplay album, was it?
0:10:29 > 0:10:34It's the sleeve on one of Coldplay's CDs.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Viva La Vida, perhaps.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38You've got it right, anyway,
0:10:38 > 0:10:39and it also means you're in the final, Pat,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42because there's no way back, Jenna. I'm sorry.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46So you've been knocked out. Pat is going through.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52So, anyway, the challengers have lost two brains
0:10:52 > 0:10:54and the Eggheads have not lost a brain yet.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56So we need... This is the moment, now.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00We drive the full force of the law at this, OK?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02The next subject is music.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- Oh!- Mark, I reckon you'd be best for this one.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Well, it can't be me or Jenna again, so...- Yeah.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Yeah.- Are you happy with that? - Yeah.- Mark, OK.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- You need an Egghead.- Who do reckon? Kevin's not so good on music.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20- I don't think he is. - You don't think?- Yeah. - OK, we'll go for that one.
0:11:20 > 0:11:26- I'll say Kevin.- So Mark from Saints and Sinner versus Kevin on music.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29And you're maybe stumbling on something here
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- because he has had a rough - is it fair to say a rough patch on music? - Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35It's become his new Food And Drink.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I'll ask each of you three questions on music in turn.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Mark, you can choose the first or second set.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I'll take the first, please, Jeremy.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52What name is given to the art of producing drum beats and other percussion sounds
0:11:52 > 0:11:54with one's mouth?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01I definitely don't think it's grooveriding.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I've never heard of backscratching in a music context,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07so I'm going to go for beatboxing.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Well done. That's right. Beatboxing.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Can anyone do that here? Anyone demonstrate that?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- No.- Daphne?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- We'd have a team in the past who were beatboxers.- Have you?- Yes.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- And they did a sort of "boom, hrick, boom, hrick"? - Yes, it was brilliant.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27OK, Kevin. Let's see if we can just get you going on music, here.
0:12:27 > 0:12:33That Don't Impress Me Much was a UK top five hit single for which singer in 1999?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- That was Shania Twain. - Shania Twain is correct.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Back to you, Mark.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43The original soundtrack to which musical
0:12:43 > 0:12:48was number one on the UK album chart for 70 consecutive weeks
0:12:48 > 0:12:50from 1958 to 1960?
0:12:54 > 0:12:58OK, well, I'm not sure on that one. Erm...
0:12:58 > 0:13:01I've seen Guys And Dolls but I couldn't tell you an era.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06I'm going to go... I think the West Side Story film was in the '50s,
0:13:06 > 0:13:07so I'm going to go for West Side Story.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Daphne will know this. She loves her musicals.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Yes, it's South Pacific. Wonderful.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Are you doing that on the dates or the success of it or what?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19No. I had it.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- You were one of the people who put it top of the charts.- Yes.
0:13:22 > 0:13:28- 1958, that far back?- Yes. I was 19. - No, I don't believe it.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30South Pacific is the right answer, Mark.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Now, Kevin's chance to pull ahead.
0:13:32 > 0:13:38The jazz musician Stanley Turrentine was best-known for his expertise on which instrument?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Not a name I've ever come across, I'm afraid.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49So this really will be a one-in-three guess.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51I don't think I've ever heard the name.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Let's try... This is a left-field approach, in a way.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00The most - apart from piano, I suppose -
0:14:00 > 0:14:04the most famous jazz players tend to be on trumpet or saxophone,
0:14:04 > 0:14:09so on that basis, I'm inclined to go for double bass
0:14:09 > 0:14:11because I haven't heard of him.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14So... But that may be what I'm meant to think.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I'll try double bass, anyway.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Yeah, I'm loving the logic. It's lead you astray.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Yeah.- Saxophone is the answer. - Don't know him.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Saxophone, Mr Turrentine. So you've got a chance here.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29What a shame you didn't get the second one right because then you'd be ahead of Kevin.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31The Police song Every Breath You Take
0:14:31 > 0:14:33featured on which 1983 album?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Obviously I know the song.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43I'm not sure what album it was on, unfortunately.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Looking at those three answers,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I think the only album I've heard of is Synchronicity,
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Erm... I haven't heard of Outlandos d'Amour or Zenyatta Mondatta,
0:14:53 > 0:14:57so I'm going to go, on that basis, for Synchronicity.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Synchronicity is your answer.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02They are all Police albums, actually,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04but you've got it right, anyway - Synchronicity's correct.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07This is good play by you, Mark.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10So you're ahead of Kevin. Let's see whether he bails out.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Which actor first played the title role
0:15:13 > 0:15:18in 1972 West End production of the musical Jesus Christ Superstar?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I think Michael Crawford was involved with Jesus Christ Superstar,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27as far as I can remember.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Er...
0:15:29 > 0:15:32I'm trying to think if David Essex actually was.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I know Paul Nicholas was,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37so I'm inclined to go for Paul Nicholas.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Paul Nicholas is your answer and it is quite right,
0:15:40 > 0:15:44so you are locked at two points each after the multiple choice section.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Mark, we're going to Sudden Death, OK?- OK.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50It gets a bit harder. I'm not going to give you alternatives.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Which band had a UK hit single in 1997 with North Country Boy?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I think it's Primal Scream.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- It's the Charlatans.- Charlatans.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Kevin, your question for the round.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06"Oh, a storm is threatening my very life today"
0:16:06 > 0:16:10are the opening lines to which Rolling Stones song?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Doesn't ring any bells at all.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Erm...
0:16:17 > 0:16:19No, I don't know that one. Paint It Black.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- If you hear the song... Anyone know? - Gimme Shelter.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Gimme Shelter, challengers. Absolutely.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- # Oh, a storm is threatening... # Is that right?- Yeah, yeah.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- That's the one, yeah. - Can you do it, not me?- No.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35So we're still level on Sudden Death and we're struggling here.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Your question, Mark.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Which Wagner opera set in Authurian times
0:16:39 > 0:16:43is based on an epic poem by Wolfram von Eschenbach?
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Operas aren't my strong point.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49The only Wagner I know is the Ride Of The Valkyries, so I'll go for that.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52No, it's Parsifal, his final opera.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Kevin, get this right to be in the final.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57The Alabama Song covered by, amongst others, The Doors
0:16:57 > 0:17:01comes from the opera The Rise And Fall Of The City Of... where?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Mahagonny.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Wow! You're straight there with it. Do you know who wrote it?
0:17:07 > 0:17:12- Kurt Weill.- And?- And Brecht. - Brecht as well.- Yeah.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15The Rise And Fall Of The City Of Mahagonny is quite right.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Well won, Kevin. You are in the final round.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Sorry, Mark. You had a few chances there to knock him out
0:17:21 > 0:17:23but he just came past you at the end.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Never mind. Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30As it stands, the challengers have lost three brains,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33the Eggheads have not lost a brain so far. Let's see if you can turn it around.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36The last subject is sport.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- That's you, Dave.- That's me.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43So this is Dave? OK. This is the Sinner. Against which Egghead?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- Daphne or Judith.- Daphne or Judith.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- Yeah, you can have a go at Daphne. - Shall we go with Daphne?- Yeah.
0:17:49 > 0:17:55- Daphne, please.- All right. So Dave from Saints and Sinner versus Daphne from the Eggheads on sport.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- Oh, my... - Hey, Judith, you can smile!
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I can! Bad luck, Daphne.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Please go to the question room now.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07OK, Dave, let's see if the Sinner can save the Saints.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- We'll see.- That would be justice, wouldn't it?- It would, really.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Let's see how we go. Three questions on sport in turn.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- I'm guessing it's your thing, Dave? - Yeah, it's what I've been brought to do,
0:18:17 > 0:18:18so a bit of pressure, now.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21So you can choose the first or second set of questions?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I'd like to go first, please.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Here we go. Good luck.
0:18:27 > 0:18:33Which footballer made a shock return to the Manchester United team in January 2012, aged 37?
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Right, it's not Gary Neville. He's now on Sky doing the punditry.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44I don't think it's Roy Keane. I'm fairly sure that that's Paul Scholes.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47It is indeed Paul Scholes.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48OK, Daphne, your question.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51The centre Gordon D'Arcy has represented which team
0:18:51 > 0:18:54in rugby union's Six Nations tournament?
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Oh, dear. I do not know.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04My grandson will probably be shouting the answer at me.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Gordon D'Arcy.- Gordon D'Arcy.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Mm.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Oh... Scotland.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- Ireland is the answer.- Oh!
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Dave, what about that?- Good start. - Good start.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Gordon Greenidge usually performed which role
0:19:21 > 0:19:23for the West Indian cricket team?
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Gordon Greenidge. I don't think that he was a fast bowler
0:19:30 > 0:19:33because I think I know the names of them,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36the famous ones that came through, and he wasn't one of them.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39So I'm torn between batsman or wicketkeeper.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44I've never heard of him referred to as a batsman, either.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47You tend to think sort of Viv Richards and people like that,
0:19:47 > 0:19:51so I'll go with wicketkeeper but it's really a bit of a guess.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53No, it's opening batsman, actually.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Opening batsman.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Daphne, what time did the Brazilian swimmer Cesar Cielo set
0:20:01 > 0:20:06when he broke the 50m freestyle world record in 2009?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17I really don't know.
0:20:17 > 0:20:24Erm... I knew he was Brazilian, I've heard of him, but erm...
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Wow. 20 seconds. That's quick.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34But, hey, it's a world record. 20.9.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- 20.91 is the right answer. - Sorry!
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- It is fast, isn't it?- Yes. - Faster than I can run.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42And me.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47All right, so what have we got now? One each.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Dave, I would suggest you get this one right
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- because she is fearsome on the third question.- I'll try.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58Japan's Sawao Kato won eight Olympic gold medals in which sport?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04OK. Erm...
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I don't know an awful lot about fencing,
0:21:07 > 0:21:11so he may very well be a fencer.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Japan and skiing...
0:21:14 > 0:21:18There's a lot of Japanese that used to do the jumping
0:21:18 > 0:21:20but I don't know about skiing.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I'm going to go for a gymnast.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I think he won his medals in gymnastics.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Gymnastics is the right answer, Dave. Well done.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31You kept the pressure on her.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33So, Daphne, if you get this one right we go to Sudden Death.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38Jan Kodes, who won three Grand Slam titles in the early '70s,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41represented which country at tennis?
0:21:44 > 0:21:47He was a Czech.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Czechoslovakia is the right answer.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51So you're level after three questions.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Dave, we go to Sudden Death, now,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- which is a bit harder because I don't give you alternatives.- OK.
0:21:56 > 0:22:02How many times did the golfer Nick Faldo win the US Masters in the 20th century?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Oh, erm, there was the famous one where he came back and he beat Greg Norman.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Had he won it before that? I think he had.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11I'm just trying to think...
0:22:11 > 0:22:16I'm pretty sure he's won two, I just don't know whether he's won a third.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I'm going to say...
0:22:19 > 0:22:20three.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Love the way you really grappled with that. You're right.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- Three it is! - TEAM APPLAUDS
0:22:27 > 0:22:30So, Daphne, you're poised on the edge of oblivion, here.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Here's your question. Sudden Death.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35The Birchfield Harriers athletics club is based in which city?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Oh, gosh.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41I've got two in my mind.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46Erm... Like Kevin, I'll probably choose the wrong one.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Manchester.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- The answer is Birmingham. - That was the other one!
0:22:53 > 0:22:56You've been knocked out and, Dave, you will be in the final round.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59You're turning it around a bit. Well done.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Do both of you come back to us and we will play the final.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06That's a bit better. This is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09It's time for the final round, which, as always, is general knowledge,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12but those of you who lost your head-to-heads can't take part.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16So, Matt, Jenna and Mark from Saints and Sinner
0:23:16 > 0:23:20and Daphne from the Eggheads will you please leave the studio?
0:23:22 > 0:23:27OK, good luck, Andrew and Dave, you're playing to win Saints and Sinner £8,000.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Pat, Judith, Kevin and Dave,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34which is the Eggheads' very valuable reputation.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39The questions are all general knowledge.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40You can confer with each other.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43So, Saints and Sinner, or should I say Saint and Sinner,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47the question is are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49And would you like to go first or second?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- I think first. - We'll go first, please.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Good luck to you.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Who hosted the Golden Globes awards ceremony for the third time in 2012?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- In 2012?- In 2012. - I think it was Ricky Gervais.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- I think it was Ricky Gervais as well.- Yes.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10We'll go for Ricky Gervais, please.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Ricky Gervais is the right answer.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19OK, Eggheads, the puma is a large cat native to which part of the world?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- The Americas.- The Americas, yeah.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26That is the Americas.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29The Americas is the right answer.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34I realise with you guys that where animals are native to is a big part of quizzing.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- It seems to come up a lot. - It does, doesn't it?
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Pumas... What was the one we had a couple of days ago, the monkey?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Gibbons.- The marmoset. - It was the unpronounceable monkey.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Marmosets?- No, it was the one in Madagascar.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- Douroucoulu?- Yeah, the douroucouli. - Yes.- Douroucouli.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54OK. So they live on a different planet, really.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Here's your second question. Keep the pressure on them.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01In which year did the USSR launch Salyut 1,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03the world's first space station?
0:25:09 > 0:25:15'66 strikes me as early for a space station, rather than a rocket.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Whereas '76 I think is too late.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- I think '66 is too early.- Yeah.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25I can remember watching them going to the moon in the infants',
0:25:25 > 0:25:28so when would that be? '68-ish, 60...
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- I think it's 1976. - OK. I bow to your greater knowledge.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37We're not sure on this but we're going to go for 1976.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40'76 is your answer. Eggheads, do you know?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- '71.- '71 it is, the space station.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46It is quite soon after the first man on the moon, isn't it?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- Only two years, yeah.- Two years.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51So almost the same level of expertise was needed?
0:25:51 > 0:25:56Yeah but the Americans were still concentrating on the Apollo programme at that stage
0:25:56 > 0:25:59and they put their own space station, Skylab, up a couple of years later.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01The Russians got there first.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03OK, Eggheads, your question to take the lead.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08Dominic Mohan became the editor of which newspaper in 2009?
0:26:11 > 0:26:16The Sun. He's the one who's come in after the scandals.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20- Yeah, yeah.- He hasn't been taking the flak for that, so it is the Sun.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24It's not the Mirror. And Paul Dacre's the Daily Mail, so...
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- I know it's not the Mail.- It's the Sun.- It's definitely the Sun.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30It's the Sun.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32It is the Sun, you're quite right.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35He featured a bit in the Leveson Inquiry.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39OK, so they've taken the lead now, so you must get this question right
0:26:39 > 0:26:41or the contest is over, guys.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44If you get it right, there's always a chance they slip up
0:26:44 > 0:26:46and then we're on Sudden Death and anything can happen.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Which former chairman of the Conservative Party
0:26:49 > 0:26:52became the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
0:26:52 > 0:26:54in 2010?
0:26:59 > 0:27:01I'm telling you now I don't know.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Do you know what any of those three do?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09No, is the answer to that one.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- I'm purely guessing but something's...- What are you guessing?
0:27:13 > 0:27:18..drawing me towards Cheryl Gillan but I have no idea why.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Well, go with that guess because... - OK.- ..I'm just...
0:27:21 > 0:27:25- I have absolutely no idea. - Yeah, I don't know but that's what I'd go for.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26- OK?- Yeah.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30We haven't really got a clue, quite frankly,
0:27:30 > 0:27:33but we're getting drawn towards Cheryl Gillan.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35I could see you getting drawn.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38I think she may be Welsh secretary.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40The answer is Caroline Spelman.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42OK.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- Which leaves you no way back, challengers.- No way back.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49So we say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won!
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- So it's tough against four.- It's tough, anyway, right down the line.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01It is, yeah.
0:28:01 > 0:28:07It really is. I mean, all the other subjects before that the other team members got out on,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10if I'd have taken them, I wouldn't have been here, you know -
0:28:10 > 0:28:14it's been tough but it's been good fun. Thank you. Really good fun.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18- They're modest people but they do know quite a lot.- Oh, yeah.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Commiserations to you. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally
0:28:21 > 0:28:23and their winning streak continues.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £8,000,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29which means that the money now rolls over to our next show.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34I can't imagine it happening at this stage.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- I've jinxed you now. - Yeah!- Thanks a lot.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43£9,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
