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 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:32against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain - they are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today are Job Lot.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40This team of colleagues all work for Careers Wales, based in Cardiff.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Let's meet them.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44I'm Mark, I'm 43, and I'm a database administrator.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Marcus. I'm 39, and I'm a careers advisor.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Becks. I'm 29, and I'm an information advisor.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi. I'm Owen. I'm 28, and I'm a careers advisor.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hello. I'm Dave. I'm 30 years old, and I'm an information advisor.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02So, Mark and team, welcome. Does anyone ever come in and say
0:01:02 > 0:01:04"I want a job as a careers adviser"?
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I don't think anyone ever wants to be a careers adviser!
0:01:06 > 0:01:10It's just something that they kind of fall into, really, through other routes.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13If someone came in and said I want to be a professional quizzer, how loudly would you laugh?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Quite!
0:01:15 > 0:01:19I'd show them an episode of Eggheads and say, "Really? Do you think you have a chance?"
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Well, let's see if you have.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32So, Job Lot, I can tell you the Eggheads have who won the last nine games.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Which means £10,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39How about that? Five figures. Shall we start?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42First head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Who would like History here? - I think that's my subject.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Dave. OK. So an information advisor?
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Yes, that's right.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51And whose information would you like to trade?
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Who do we think?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Which Egghead?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Ladies first. Shall we go Daphne?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Let's go for it. There you go.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Daphne? OK. So, Dave from Job Lot,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03versus Daphne from the Eggheads on history, looking quite pleased with it.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07And to ensure there is no conferring, would you please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Three multiple-choice questions on History in turn.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17You know the rules. Whoever gets the most right goes through to the final and the other person is knocked out.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Dave, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I believe I'll go first, if I may, please.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Here we go with your first question, Dave.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Who was the British monarch when William Gladstone first became prime minister?
0:02:34 > 0:02:40Right, yes. I believe that was Queen Victoria.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Very good, it was Victoria.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Daphne, the widow of which courtier who was
0:02:46 > 0:02:52executed in 1618 reportedly kept his embalmed head in a bag?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Yes, I wouldn't have liked to have rifled through that bag!
0:03:01 > 0:03:03It was Walter Raleigh.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07It was Walter Raleigh, which is presumably why her bag never got snatched!
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Dave, your question.
0:03:10 > 0:03:16The chiton and the peplos were forms of clothing that date from which ancient civilisation?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23If I recall, the chiton was like a tunic.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27And the peplos, if I recall, some sort of wrap, or cloak.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29It was the ancient Greeks.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Well done to you. It was indeed the Greeks.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Daphne, your question.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38What type of WW2 weapon was the British-made Valentine?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Oh!
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Um...
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I think it was probably a tank.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Unerring with your guessing as always. Tank is the right answer.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59OK, Dave. You're both playing well.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02But beware, because Daphne can take you on the curve.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Don't be fooled by the Miss Marple look about her!
0:04:05 > 0:04:08What was the name of the last Visigothic king of Spain
0:04:08 > 0:04:13who was defeated in 711 during the Muslim invasion?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Right then.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I'm not sure on this one, so let's have a think.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26None of those names stand out as typically Visigothic, I suppose.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27They sound quite modern to me.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34King Ralph, King Reginald, or King Roderic.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I think King Roderic sounds the most appropriate.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I'll guess at Roderic, please.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Yes, you got it right. You've played very well.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Now, Daphne. A bit of pressure on you. Third question.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51By which name is Jeanne Poisson well-known in French history?
0:04:56 > 0:05:01So Jeanne is J-E-A-N-N-E Poisson.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03She's Madame de Pompadour.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Madame de Pompadour is the right answer. You've gone to sudden death.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09That's a very good round. Three points for both of you,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12and as yet not struggling at all.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Dave, play on. Don't let up.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Sudden death is where I don't give you alternatives, OK?
0:05:18 > 0:05:24Bela Kun ruled which country as ruler of a short lived Soviet republic in 1919?
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Right.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31On this one, I'm not getting... I can't think of anything. So 1919?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Soviet...
0:05:37 > 0:05:40No, I really can't think.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Let's just guess at a random country.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Afghanistan.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51No, it was Hungary.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55OK, Daphne, your chance to take the round.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Building commenced on the present-day Wells Cathedral in which century?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I ought to know because it's not far from me, but
0:06:03 > 0:06:06I have to say I've never been there.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Could you repeat it?
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Building commenced on the present-day Wells Cathedral in which century?
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Twelfth.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Yes, it has 1175, so it was the 12th century.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I'm so... Sorry.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24You knocked out a good player there!
0:06:24 > 0:06:26You may have done the challengers a bit of damage.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Dave, well played. Really well played.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Excellent round for you, but you have been knocked out.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32You won't be in the final, and Daphne will.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Please both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38OK, so as it stands, the challengers have lost
0:06:38 > 0:06:40one brain from the final round.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Although Dave, you played - I can't say it enough - really well.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Thank you.- Eggheads have lost no brains so far.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48The next subject is Music. Who would like this?
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Owen, d'you want this one?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Would you like a crack at Music?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I could attempt Music.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01Owen, against which Egghead? Obviously it can't be Daphne.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Chris.- I was going to say Chris.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Shall we say Chris?
0:07:07 > 0:07:11If we get some music from post-1990, I think we're OK!
0:07:11 > 0:07:14So it's going to be Owen from Job Lot versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Please take your positions.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I'll ask each of you three questions on music in turn,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22and you can choose, Owen, the first or the second set.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25I think fortune favours the brave, so I think I'll go first, please.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Good luck to you. Here we go.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Who wrote and recorded the 1967 US hit single Brown Eyed Girl?
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Right, OK.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I think I'm going to have to go with Van Morrison...
0:07:46 > 0:07:50..because my parents kind of do have some kind of musical taste,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52so I did have that growing up, so yes,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I think I'll stick with Van Morrison.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Van Morrison is the right answer. Well done!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00That's a long time ago. '67. I hadn't realised that.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- And it's still played. It sounds fresh now.- Good.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Yeah, yeah, it's good.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Chris - the 2011 song Video Games was the first
0:08:06 > 0:08:10UK singles chart entry for which singer?
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Mmm.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19That was...
0:08:20 > 0:08:24..not Nadine Coyle, not Lana Del Rey - Nicole Scherzinger.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Challengers, is he right?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Apparently not, no. - No, he's not right.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30It's Lana Del Rey!
0:08:30 > 0:08:32She usually sings about death and destruction, doesn't she?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Well, of course, video games... - Exactly, video games
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- is exactly that.- Mmm.- Owen, you're in the lead, that's a good start.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42The popular classical singer Alfie Boe has which type of voice?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Classical. Erm...
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Right, OK. Erm...
0:08:50 > 0:08:54I like the music, but I don't know too much about particular singers,
0:08:54 > 0:08:58so this is just going to have to be a random guess.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Classical singing. Erm... Have to go with...
0:09:03 > 0:09:05..er, tenor, I think.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Tenor is correct.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Two out of two!
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Chris, can you get a point here? The independent label Factory Records
0:09:12 > 0:09:15was started in 1978 in which city?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Something is saying to me, Sheffield.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Sheffield?- Mmm.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27What was the something, was it the Challengers, by any chance,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- or somebody...?- No, just... LAUGHTER
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- ..somebody who wanted you not to get a point?- Factory Records,
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- Sheffield - there you go. - Manchester it was.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Chris, you've been knocked out, you've not even got a point.- Nope.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41No! Any words of apology to the...the viewing public?
0:09:41 > 0:09:45What you see is what you get - if you don't like it, tough.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48I thought not! Owen, well done - you will be in the final.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56The Challengers have lost one, the Eggheads have lost one.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59It's an interesting contest, and the next subject is geography,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01so who would like this?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- Was that you, Becs? - That was you, wasn't it?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Becs...?- Yeah.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Against which Egghead, Becs?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Erm, I'll take Dave, as he's an unknown quantity, so...
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Tremendous Knowledge... - Yes.- ..we call him.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16So, from Job Lot, it's Becs. From the Eggheads, it's Dave.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Please go to the Question Room now.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I'll ask each of you three questions on geography in turn, and Becs,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24you can choose the first or the second set...
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Erm, I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Here we go - good luck to you and your team.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35The New York Stock Exchange is located on which road in Manhattan?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Erm, I'm going to go straight for the answer,
0:10:42 > 0:10:43and I think it's Wall Street.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Brilliant. You were not put off at all by the obviousness of it.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Well done, Wall Street is the answer.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Tremendous Knowledge Dave - in Asia,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Dave, what type of major geographical feature
0:10:56 > 0:10:58is the Brahmaputra?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Brahmaputra. Yeah, er...
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Sometimes, you know, things, you look at them, and, er,
0:11:07 > 0:11:10something just throws you off, but, erm,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I believe the Brahmaputra is a river.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15River is the right answer. Well done.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Back to you, Becs.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21In Paris, the rapid transit system which is usually referred to
0:11:21 > 0:11:25as the "eh-uh-eh" comprises which mode of transport?
0:11:25 > 0:11:29And by the way, "eh-uh-eh" is just the way the French say RER...
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Right, I'm not entirely sure about this one, but...
0:11:37 > 0:11:41..I'm trying to work out what the E and the R could be for.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Erm...I'm not really swaying towards trains...
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Tram, sorry. Erm...
0:11:48 > 0:11:52I'm going to go for monorail, because I'm not entirely sure, sorry.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55The answer is train. Train is the answer.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59I should have gone for train. My father was a very keen train spotter.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Oh, really?- Yeah.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05OK, Dave - there are how many stars on the flag of Puerto Rico?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Let me have a think about it.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Puerto Rico. Because I... I've got something in my head
0:12:14 > 0:12:17that it's like the Texan flag -
0:12:17 > 0:12:19which could be totally wrong.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22And of course, Texas is a lone star state, so I'll go one.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27That's very good, it is one, Tremendous Knowledge.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29So, Becs, you have to get this one right -
0:12:29 > 0:12:33which Caribbean island has a capital called Oranjestad?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Right, erm, I know that Aruba has Dutch origins,
0:12:40 > 0:12:44but I'm not entirely sure about Saint Lucia or Grenada. Erm...
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I'm going to have to go for Aruba, sorry.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Excellent, Aruba is right!
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Really, really well done.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56OK, Dave, you take the round if you get this one.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59The Lancashire port of Fleetwood is at the mouth of which river?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Get this wrong, and I'm going to be in trouble,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07and I could get it wrong quite easily.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Erm, I don't think it's the Ribble.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Er, because I think... I thought it was the Vale of Lune.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16But I could be in problems.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20I don't think it's the Wyre, because the Lune's Lancaster.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22So, let me just have a think.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Got f... Could be the Wyre.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Oh, this is a problem.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29So, why is the Wyre up there?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34I'll go the Lune.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- It's the Wyre.- Right, fair enough.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39So, Becs, you're still in it, OK? We go to Sudden Death.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42It gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternative answers. Here we go.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44What is the official language
0:13:44 > 0:13:48of the West African island nation Sao Tome and Principe?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51That was discovered by a European explorer,
0:13:51 > 0:13:53and I'm sure it's Portuguese?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Portuguese is correct!
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Well done!
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Is this that you love your history, or you're well-travelled, or what?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03No, again, it's back to my father. He was in the merchant navy
0:14:03 > 0:14:07for 13 years, and he... Well, he pretty much travelled
0:14:07 > 0:14:09around the globe more than ten times,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12so it's just memory rather than knowledge, I'm afraid.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15So, bless him, he used to come back and talk about his trips?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- Yes, yeah, yeah.- Is he still with us?
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- No, he passed away sadly seven years ago.- I'm sorry. OK...
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Dave - which British overseas territory
0:14:24 > 0:14:26was named Jabal Tariq in Arabic?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Overseas territory... Must be near Egypt somewhere.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Libya, Sudan...
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Sudan. But I don't think that's right.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Sudan. You know, I looked at it, thinking it's unguessable,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47then I realised, no, it's not! Jabal Tariq, Jabal Tariq...
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Gibral-ta... Gibraltar!
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- Fair enough.- That's how you do it!
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Took me a while, and I've got it in front of me!- Yep.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56How about that, Becs? You knocked out an Egghead?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Er, yeah! Ha-ha!
0:14:59 > 0:15:01With all that knowledge from your dad. That's brilliant.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05So, you're in the final round. And, er, Tremendous Knowledge Dave...
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Very obvious knowledge Dave, yeah! - Not so tremendous today!- Yeah.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Please both of you come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15So, as it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain
0:15:15 > 0:15:17and the Eggheads have lost two brains from the final round,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20and the last subject for you is sport.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22So, who would like this?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- Is that bad news?- Er, right, yeah.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Erm, kind of.- This is when we open up.- Yeah.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I'll go for it, shall I?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- I think you'd be better placed than me to do it, yeah.- Yeah.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Yeah.- Yeah, I'll have a go at sport,
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- and...- OK, Mark - against which Egghead?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Kevin or Barry.- Right. - Which one do you think?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- Kevin, I think?- Yeah, I would.- Yeah.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- I'll go against Kevin.- OK, so, Mark from Job Lot versus Kevin
0:15:43 > 0:15:47from the Eggheads on sport - haven't done that for a while, have you?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- It's a while, yeah, it is quite a while.- Really long time!
0:15:50 > 0:15:53So, to ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room now.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58OK, let's see how we go. Three questions, and you can choose
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- the first or the second set...- OK, I'll go for the first set, please.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Good luck. The Italian football club commonly known as Internazionale
0:16:09 > 0:16:11is based in which city?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Right, the... When you said Internazionale,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21the first indicator in my mind was Milan,
0:16:21 > 0:16:23so I'll plump for Milan, please.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Milan is the right answer!
0:16:27 > 0:16:30So, that's Inter Milan, as opposed to AC Milan, yeah. OK, Kevin -
0:16:30 > 0:16:33in tennis, which is the only Grand Slam tournament
0:16:33 > 0:16:37to have tie-breaks in every set, including the final set of matches?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Mmm...
0:16:44 > 0:16:47I honestly don't know. I should know this, but, erm...
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Mmm...
0:16:53 > 0:16:56OK, I'll say Wimbledon. I'll take a chance on it being Wimbledon,
0:16:56 > 0:17:00because there was that enormously long match between...
0:17:00 > 0:17:03..Isner and Mahut a couple of years ago. Er...
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- That's your answer?- Yeah, I... - This is a very rare moment,
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- where you may have misunderstood the question...- I may have done.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12..because I said, "What is the only Grand Slam tournament
0:17:12 > 0:17:13"to have tie-breaks in every set?"
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- I've just completely misunderstood the question.- US Open is the answer,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Kevin.- Yeah, OK, yeah. - OK, Mark, how about that?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22you want to freeze-frame this moment,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- you're ahead of Kevin in sport...? - Yes, this will be on record.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28OK, good stuff, yeah! Glasgow Rocks and Sheffield Sharks
0:17:28 > 0:17:32are clubs in the leading British league of which sport?
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- What were the teams, Glasgow...? - Glasgow Rocks and Sheffield Sharks.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Oh...
0:17:42 > 0:17:46I would... I don't think it's rugby league.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50They tend to be... They've got Rhinos and...
0:17:50 > 0:17:55bit animals! Erm, I will have a guess
0:17:55 > 0:17:58at basketball.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- Eggheads, is he right?- Yes.- Yes, you are, says Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Basketball is right, so you keep the lead. Well done.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Kevin, to you - what term is used in baseball
0:18:08 > 0:18:12if a starting pitcher doesn't allow any opposing batter
0:18:12 > 0:18:15to get to first base during a complete match?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23The only term there from baseball that I recognise
0:18:23 > 0:18:25is perfect game - so, perfect game.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Perfect game it is, well done. Back to you, Mark.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31If you get this one right, you've knocked Kevin out -
0:18:31 > 0:18:33that may be very, very handy. Here we go.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35In Olympic air rifle events,
0:18:35 > 0:18:39shooters stand how far away from the target?
0:18:45 > 0:18:4810m seems a bit close, to be honest, for an air rifle.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53But 50m seems... I'll go down the middle, and go for 25m.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55No, it's 10m. I mean, I suppose
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- air rifles are just not that powerful, are they?- No.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- 30ft?- Thought they were more powerful than that, though!
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Yeah.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Your question, Kevin - if you get this one wrong, you're still out.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09The British monarch's horse-racing silks are purple and scarlet
0:19:09 > 0:19:12with gold braid, and a velvet cap of which colour?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Erm...
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Mmm. I know which one I favour there but, er...
0:19:19 > 0:19:22So, purple and scarlet with gold braid...
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I don't... I think it's black.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Black is the right answer.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Mmm.- Well done, so two points each. We go to Sudden Death.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Sorry, Mark, you nearly shook him off there but now it's Sudden Death,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37and it's a bit harder - I don't give you alternatives.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39The UCI, founded in 1900,
0:19:39 > 0:19:43is the international governing body of which sport?
0:19:44 > 0:19:451900...
0:19:48 > 0:19:51The only sport I can th... Well, where a letter would fit...
0:19:51 > 0:19:55would be...the C for...
0:19:58 > 0:20:00..croquet? CHUCKLING
0:20:00 > 0:20:02You're halfway there, but it's not croquet.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- It's cycling!- Oh!
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Union Cycliste Internationale.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Kevin - in which decade did Kevin Keegan
0:20:10 > 0:20:12last play for the England football team?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16If you get this right, you've got the round.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20It's just a question of whether he would have gone on...
0:20:21 > 0:20:23..into... Did he reach the '90s...
0:20:23 > 0:20:27at all? Or was he already moving into, er...?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Obviously he became a senior player and then moved into management.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36I th...
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I think it's got to be the '80s. 1980s.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43'82 was the last appearance for England for Kevin Keegan,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45but not your last appearance in this game,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Kevin - the other Kevin - because you will be in the final round.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51And well done, Mark, you almost did it there but not quite.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54You're out, I'm afraid. If you come back to us,
0:20:54 > 0:20:55we will play the final round.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59So, this is what we've been playing towards. It is time
0:20:59 > 0:21:02for our final round, which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:04 > 0:21:08won't be allowed to take part. So, Mark and Dave from Job Lot
0:21:08 > 0:21:11and also Dave and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Marcus, Becs and Owen - you're playing to win Job Lot £10,000.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Kevin, Daphne and Barry - you're playing for something
0:21:22 > 0:21:25that money can't buy - the Eggheads' very precious reputation.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31This time, the questions are all general knowledge -
0:21:31 > 0:21:34you are allowed to confer. So, Job Lot, the question is,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38And would you like to go first or second?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40We're going to choose first, please.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Great. And playing for a five-figure jackpot, so,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48all the best to you, Job Lot. Here's your question - in 2011,
0:21:48 > 0:21:53David Walliams swam 140 miles of which river for Sport Relief?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59He... He done it, erm, up the Thames, didn't he?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Because they were all really concerned about the..
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- They were concerned about his health.- And the boat.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- It was definitely the Thames. - It was in the news recently.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Didn't he do the, erm...?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Across the...?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Channel as well. Definitely.- He did the Channel, but this was a river.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- We're doing Thames, are we? - We'll go with the Thames, yeah.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19We don't think it was the other two, we think it was more local,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21so we're going to go for the Thames.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23The Thames is the right answer.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Brilliant. Well done.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Eggheads, your question - what was the name of the daughter
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Asclepius, the Greek God of Healing?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Panacea.- Panacea?- Panacea. That's our...recommendation.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Yes, her name means "Cure All", and it was Panacea.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Panacea is the right answer! OK, Job Lot, the three of you,
0:22:45 > 0:22:48good luck with this one. Second question -
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Goodwood House in Sussex is the country seat of which dukedom?
0:22:55 > 0:22:58I...I'd be swayed to Richmond.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- Yeah.- Yeah. Closer to Sussex as well, isn't it?- Yeah?
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- Yeah, I'm happy with that. - So, just for the fact
0:23:03 > 0:23:07that it's closer to Sussex, we're going to go for Richmond.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Are they right?- Yes.- Yep. - You are. Well done.- Well done!
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Trying to work it out and thinking that if you're in Richmond,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15you're in the city, and therefore you have a country seat
0:23:15 > 0:23:18and therefore you have a different place - is that the reason?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I don't... It's to do with the vagaries of land-holding and...
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- who got which estate.- So, it could have been Norfolk?- Oh...
0:23:24 > 0:23:28- Norfolk's seat is Arundel, which is also in Sussex.- Right.- So...
0:23:28 > 0:23:32OK Eggheads, your question. What does a purlin help to support?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40It's an upright beam that...
0:23:40 > 0:23:43A purlin is an upright beam that helps support a roof.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Roof is the right answer.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Well, they're playing well, which is a shame.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50So it does mean you have to play well as well.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Here is your third question.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56In TS Eliot's poem, the Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock,
0:23:56 > 0:24:00with what has the narrator measured out his life?
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- I think it was coffee spoons. - You think?- Yeah.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15My reasoning for this is a song by Crash Test Dummies
0:24:15 > 0:24:19where they mention TS Eliot and afternoons and coffee spoons.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20That's my only reason for it.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:24:25 > 0:24:28I could sing it, but I won't!
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Coffee spoons, yes.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31We'll go that one? Let's go.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Our only reasoning for this is a song that I know
0:24:34 > 0:24:36by a band called the Crash Test Dummies
0:24:36 > 0:24:39where they mention TS Eliot and coffee spoons in the same song,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42so we're going to go for coffee spoons.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Good for the Crash Test Dummies, they helped you to the answer.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47It is coffee spoons.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Eggheads, if you get this wrong, the contest is over
0:24:49 > 0:24:51and the challengers have taken £10,000.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55What was the first month of the French Revolutionary calendar
0:24:55 > 0:24:59that roughly equates to September 23 to October 22?
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Vendemiaire, because it's the month of harvest and...
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Nivose is snow so that's winter.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Prifairial, again, summer,
0:25:13 > 0:25:16so Vendemiaire must be the harvest month.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Yeah.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22Nivose is the month of snow which leaves it in winter
0:25:22 > 0:25:24and prairial is a summer month,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27so the first month in the French Revolutionary calendar,
0:25:27 > 0:25:31which I believe might mean "windy" is vendemiaire
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- Vendemiaire is the right answer. - You've got three each.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38You've played really well, but so have they
0:25:38 > 0:25:40and we go to sudden death in the final round
0:25:40 > 0:25:42with quite a lot of money up for grabs.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45And it's a question now, of you giving me the answers.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47I don't give you alternatives.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49"I thought the king had more affected
0:25:49 > 0:25:51"the Duke of Albany than Cornwall",
0:25:51 > 0:25:54is the very first line of which Shakespeare play?
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Only because, he's talking about dukes,...
0:26:00 > 0:26:04and I don't know, but...
0:26:04 > 0:26:09- ...what's the one that is set in Glamis Castle?- Macbeth.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I think that, just...
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Where's Albany?
0:26:13 > 0:26:17I, well...
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Because that would be the same thing, wouldn't it?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Well, "Alba" is Scotland, so maybe Albany.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Maybe. I would say Macbeth.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Go on, then. Shall we just go with our lucky charm?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31THEY LAUGH
0:26:31 > 0:26:34A rose between two thorns, yeah!
0:26:34 > 0:26:39That's my reason, because again, the Alba for Scotland and Albany...
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- That's good reasoning for me. - Yeah.- OK.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47- I haven't, either way. We don't blame you at all for this one. - Not this one!- OK!
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Ready? We're just going to go with our lucky charm.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53And we're going to say Macbeth
0:26:53 > 0:26:55and we're not going to blame her if we get it wrong.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56Macbeth is your answer, OK.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Shall we see if the Eggheads know the answer? Is it Macbeth?
0:26:59 > 0:27:01(ALL): King Lear.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04I suppose the only way of going from the quote to the title
0:27:04 > 0:27:06is the word "King".
0:27:06 > 0:27:07That is what I was thinking.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09But that's pretty tenuous.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- Oh, sorry! - No, don't worry.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14King Lear is the right answer, so that gives them away back in here.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17If the Eggheads get this one right, the contest is over.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Lord Raglan, after whom the Raglan sleeve is named,
0:27:21 > 0:27:24lost his sword arm at which battle?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26That was Waterloo.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29And then, subsequently, he became, having been,
0:27:29 > 0:27:32well, not in retirement, but inactive for many years,
0:27:32 > 0:27:34he became commander-in-chief during the Crimean War,
0:27:34 > 0:27:38but I think it was Waterloo where he actually lost his arm.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Lord Raglan is well-known as the commander-in-chief
0:27:41 > 0:27:45in the Crimean War, but he actually lost his arm a few years earlier,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48in 1815, at the Battle of Waterloo.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51If you have got this right, the contest is over.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55That'd be a shame for our challengers.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57The correct answer is Waterloo.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01So we say congratulations Eggheads, you have won!
0:28:01 > 0:28:02CHALLENGERS APPLAUD
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Bad luck, you played a great game.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13But they can be ferocious on the sudden death.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- And it gets very hard on sudden death.- We noticed!
0:28:16 > 0:28:21- So, bad luck on Macbeth and all of that, but thanks for playing. - Thank you.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22Commiserations to you.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27so their winning streak is building into quite a streak now.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29You won't be going home with the £10,000,
0:28:29 > 0:28:32so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Eggheads, very well done. Who will beat you, I wonder?
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:38 > 0:28:40have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43£11,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
