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 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:28 > 0:00:31against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:36 > 0:00:38are the Spare Ribs from Wales.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41This friends and family team can often be found testing their
0:00:41 > 0:00:46brain cells at the Sunday night quiz at the Fisherman's Rest in Bedwas in Caerphilly.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Sut mae, I am Lydia,, I'm 32 and I am a call centre worker.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Sut mae, my name's Kath, I'm 54 and I am a nurse.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Sut mae, I am Laura, I'm 32 and a full-time mum.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Sut mae, I'm Sheila, I'm 58 and a primary school teacher.
0:01:04 > 0:01:10Sut mae, I am Anne, I am 67, I am retired postmistress.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Welcome to you, Spare Ribs.
0:01:12 > 0:01:18- And named after Adam's rib in the biblical story?- That is idea, yes.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Tell me about the quizzing, that is what we are most interested in.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Most of us quiz on Sunday in different teams.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29I am on one team and mum is on another so we have a bit of rivalry there.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33They usually beat us but that is because that is more of them.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Weight of numbers. We don't want to start a family conflict with you.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40You have joined forces today,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43why did you decide to take on the Eggheads?
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Did you feel that the Fishermen's Rest was too small platform?
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- Yeah, we need to move on now. - On to the network stage.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Let me tell you what has been happening.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for challengers,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04So, Spare Ribs, the Eggheads have won the last 13 games
0:02:04 > 0:02:08and that means that £14,000 says you cant beat them.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13OK, let's play. Let's see what comes up. Our first head-to-head is a sport.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Oh, no. Nancy.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18That's you as the sacrificial lamb!
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- She's our secret weapon. - OK, sport it is!
0:02:22 > 0:02:25You get to choose any Egghead you like because it is the opening round.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30Who looks really delighted at the sound of sport?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Judith? Judith, then.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37OK, Let's have Anne and Judith into the question room, please,
0:02:37 > 0:02:38to make sure you can't confer.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45So, Anne, are you a sporty type? Do you participate or watch or what?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I used to play a lot of hockey.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I do like watching sport
0:02:49 > 0:02:53but I am afraid I forget as much as I remember.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Certain sports are not going to be too bad.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Sounds a bit like what Judith would have said
0:02:58 > 0:03:03if I'd asked her that. Anne, would you like to go first second?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I think I would like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13Right, let's get the first question under way. It is coming to you, Anne.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Which former Newcastle United player became a regular pundit
0:03:17 > 0:03:21on Match Of The Day following his retirement in 2006?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Well now, football is a bit like hockey, 11 players on the field.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I think...
0:03:32 > 0:03:36it wasn't Peter Beardsley and I am fairly sure it wasn't Kieron Dyer,
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- and I think that I am right in saying it is Alan Shearer.- Alan Shearer.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44You're right. Well done, yes. Good start.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49Judith. Which cyclist has the nickname the Manx Missile?
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- I think that is Mark Cavendish.- Why?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I'm just hoping for the best!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02You're meant to say, "He is from the Isle of Mann!"
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Yes, he is from the Isle of Man.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07That is the right answer, Mark Cavendish. You got it.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Well done.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Anne, In 2010, Danny Cipriani signed for which Australian rugby union team?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23This is a difficult one because although I am from Wales
0:04:23 > 0:04:26and I do like my rugby... I don't follow it in Australia.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30It is going to be a bit of a guess this time.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34I suppose coming from New South Wales I ought to say that.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39But I'm going to say the Melbourne Rebels.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42You mean coming from old South Wales. The have the new one.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45New South Wales. You thought you should have said that
0:04:45 > 0:04:48but instead you went for the Melbourne rebels
0:04:48 > 0:04:51and you got the right answer. Well done!
0:04:51 > 0:04:55You have two. Can Judith match it?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Which golfer made history in 2012
0:04:57 > 0:05:02when, aged 14, he became the youngest player in the U.S Open history?
0:05:08 > 0:05:14Goodness me. I have no idea. I'm going to say Andy Zhang.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Right. OK.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Eggheads, do we think she's right? - Yes, I think she is.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24It is the right answer, well done. You have two.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Anne, there's a very good start.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Let's see if you can get this and put the pressure on Judith.
0:05:30 > 0:05:36Dana Zatopkove, wife of the runner Emil Zatopek, won a gold medal
0:05:36 > 0:05:40at the 1952 Olympics in which athletics event?
0:05:43 > 0:05:451952 is just a little bit
0:05:45 > 0:05:50early for my memories of Olympics, I remember Zatopek.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52He was a runner, would she have run with him?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Would she have jumped away from him? Would she have thrown a javelin at him?
0:05:56 > 0:06:01- That is a good series of questions. - Maybe all three.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I'm going to go for the javelin.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08OK, you have an unerring eye, Anne. It is the right answer. Well done.
0:06:13 > 0:06:20Are you Daphne in disguise? I can hear the football fans singing.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Well done. The pressure is on Judith.
0:06:22 > 0:06:28In 2012, the street previously known as Stick Strasse in the German town
0:06:28 > 0:06:31of Halle was renamed in honour of which tennis player?
0:06:36 > 0:06:43Oh... Halle. why would they name it after Roger Federer?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Martina Hingis, I'm not sure what nationality she is.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56And Stanislas Wawrink sounds Polish. Why would they name...
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- Martina Hingis.- OK, Martina Hingis.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03It is not the right answer, it is Roger Federer.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Judith did not provide Roger Federer there.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Anne, that means we provide you with a place in the final round.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17After that, the Spare Ribs, no one spare there.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21The Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26Our next subject is film and television. Who wants to play this?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29That is you, Sheila. Go on. It'll have to be Sheila.
0:07:29 > 0:07:35Is it going to be you, Sheila? OK, Sheila. And choose an Egghead, it can't be Judith, she's just played.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Who do you fancy? Chris, do you think?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Go on. You're picking on Chris.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I would say Chris, till he's gone!
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Let's be crystal clear about this, we have Sheila and Chris
0:07:47 > 0:07:49playing the film and television round,
0:07:49 > 0:07:51could you both please go to the question room?
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Film and television, do you want to go first or second?
0:07:55 > 0:07:56I will go first, please.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02OK, Sheila, good luck.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06In which TV programme first seen in 1977 were contestants
0:08:06 > 0:08:09required to tackle an army assault course?
0:08:12 > 0:08:16I know this because I used to watch this religiously every week,
0:08:16 > 0:08:17and it was The Krypton Factor.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Surely it was Mastermind, Chris?- Oh yes.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23They used to put us through it something cruel.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26The mental assault course. Of course it was The Krypton Factor.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Well done, Sheila.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32Chris, which comedian played a pop quiz champion called
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Jeff Maltby in the sitcom Benidorm?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40I don't think Bill Bailey or Vic Reeves have ever been in Benidorm
0:08:40 > 0:08:41so it is Johnny Vegas.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42It is, correct.
0:08:42 > 0:08:48Sheila, who co-write and starred in the comedies Pulling and Dead Boss?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I have no idea about this whatsoever.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I don't think it was Sarah Millican. I don't know.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05I think I'm going to go with Sandi Toksvig.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Sandi Toksvig for Pulling and Dead Boss?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13No, it isn't Sarah Millican, it's Sharon Horgan.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17She's multitalented, co-wrote and starred in them both.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22Chris, how many Oscars were won by the 2010 film the King's Speech?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Yes, it was rather badly done by, wasn't it?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31I think it only got one, much to everyone's annoyance. One.
0:09:31 > 0:09:38- One, Eggheads are very annoyed about that, what is it, Eggheads?- Four.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39It is four. All square then.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Right, it's all square then. Still, Sheila, no harm done
0:09:42 > 0:09:45with both of you not getting your second question correct.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48And this for you - who starred as Christopher Ewing
0:09:48 > 0:09:51in the 2012 comeback series of Dallas?
0:09:55 > 0:10:00Oh, I've been meaning to watch this. And I haven't yet. Um...
0:10:02 > 0:10:07I think I'm going to go with Jesse Metcalf.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10OK, Jesse Metcalf for another tick on the board.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12You've got it. It's correct.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Chris, well, you need this.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18The singer Deborah Harry starred in which science fiction film
0:10:18 > 0:10:20directed by David Cronenberg?
0:10:23 > 0:10:28Oh, yes, a very raunchy dream type sequence, wasn't it? In Videodrome.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Yes, Debbie Harry in Videodrome, it's the right answer, Chris.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36OK, Sheila. Well, both done pretty well here.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37You've got two each out of three,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40so it means we have to go to sudden death to sort out a winner,
0:10:40 > 0:10:44so no more options are going to be shown to you. Here is your question.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Which 1975 film has Tina Turner, Jack Nicholson, Elton John,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Eric Clapton and Roger Daltrey amongst its cast members?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I went to see this, and I think it's Tommy.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58It's the right answer - you went to see it, you've got it.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Tommy is correct.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02OK, Chris needs this again.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05The Oscar-nominated song Baby Mine
0:11:05 > 0:11:08featured in which Walt Disney animated film?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Hmm, that's from Dumbo.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14It is, yes. Dumbo. Well identified, Chris.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16OK, more work to do, Sheila.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Which British actor appeared in the films Thor, War Horse
0:11:19 > 0:11:21and Archipelago?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25I have only seen War Horse out of all those three. Erm... Oh...
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- No, I can't think.- OK.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Do you know, Chris?- No. I don't.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- Bit too contemporary for you, isn't it?- Mm.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Other Eggheads, I'm sure one of you will know.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- Benedict Cumberbatch?- No, not Benedict Cumberbatch.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Jeremy Irvine?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45No, it's Tom Hiddleston.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49He plays a baddie in Thor. Loki.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51OK, Tom Hiddleston, no-one got it.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54It means you've got a chance to win it this time, Chris.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Which Canadian-born US film actress for the United Artists Corporation
0:11:58 > 0:12:04in 1919 with Charlie Chaplin, DW Griffith and Douglas Fairbanks?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07That was American Sweetheart, Mary Pickford.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10That's more your era. Mary Pickford is the correct answer.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Chris, you've squeaked through.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15you took him to the wire, but it wasn't to be.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Thank you for playing the round, but you won't be in the final.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Well, bad luck there, Sheila.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27As it stands, the Spare Ribs have lost one brain from the final round
0:12:27 > 0:12:29and the Eggheads have lost one. It's all square
0:12:29 > 0:12:31as we head into our third head-to-head.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33This subject is Science.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- That's me.- That's definitely you.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- That's Laura.- Is that you, Laura?
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- We're working our way along the line!- I can see that.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Creeping up, creeping barrage.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Laura, who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:12:45 > 0:12:50Chris and Judith have played, so you have Pat, Barry or Daphne.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51- Go on, I'll try Daphne.- I would.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55She looks kind of kindly and nice but I think it's a bit deceptive.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Yeah, I'll give her a go. - You might be disabused of that
0:12:58 > 0:13:01when you get into the Question Room. Sadly disappointed.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04OK, let's have Laura and Daphne into the Question Room, please.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Laura, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I'll go first, please.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14OK, good luck, Laura. Here you go.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15In chemistry,
0:13:15 > 0:13:19what name is given to an element which is present in tiny amounts?
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Erm...
0:13:24 > 0:13:29I'm not 100% sure, but I think trace element sounds familiar
0:13:29 > 0:13:33and it sounds a bit more scientific, so I'll go for trace element.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Yeah, sounds scientific - it is the right answer, well done.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Daphne, the koala is native to which continent?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Been there, seen one - Australia.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Been there, seen one? Seen plenty, I would suspect.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Australia will do for that answer.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Laura, second question,
0:13:54 > 0:13:58what is the name of the instrument based on a quarter of a circle
0:13:58 > 0:14:02formerly used to measure the altitude of astronomical bodies?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I am not sure about this one.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12Quadrangle is a square, they seem to have those in old universities.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Ooh... A quadrille sounds a bit like some kind of dance.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- I am going to go quadrant, that was my first thought...- OK.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Quadrant is correct, yes.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Well done. And...
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Daphne, what name is given to natural gas which is
0:14:27 > 0:14:30corrosive due to a high hydrogen sulphide content?
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Oh...
0:14:37 > 0:14:39No, not heard of it.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44I mean, they all sound plausible.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Sour gas?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Guess, is that?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Corrosive - sour?- Oh, I see.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- That's all you've based it on?- Yes.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56It's the right answer, yes.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00In they go, time after time, Daphne and her guessing!
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Always something there, though.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05She's always got a bit of an inkling.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Well, you're going well, Laura. Let's see if you can keep it up.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12ALICE, a substance whose name comes from its main
0:15:12 > 0:15:17ingredients of aluminium powder and ice, was developed as what?
0:15:22 > 0:15:26They all sound slightly plausible.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30I suppose the food preservative thing could be, like, keeping it cold
0:15:30 > 0:15:33and same with local anaesthetic, although...
0:15:34 > 0:15:37..I'm not sure how effective that will be if it was just...
0:15:37 > 0:15:41You'd have to give someone frostbite, I think, to...
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I'm going to rule out local anaesthetic.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48I don't know how reactive aluminium is,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50so I'm going to go food preservative.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54OK, food preservative with aluminium powder and ice.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56It's not a local anaesthetic,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59but it's not a food preservative. It's a rocket propellant.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03OK, well, you didn't get that. Let's see how Daphne does here.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08The Exploratorium, founded by Frank Oppenheimer in 1969,
0:16:08 > 0:16:10is a science museum in which US city?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Wow.- Wow.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- No, not one I have heard of.- Good.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- Good.- So now we're into a guess, which is usually bad.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Chicago.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Other Eggheads, do you think she's right?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- None of us have any idea. - They're baffled too.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Another baffling question.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Normally one of the Eggheads knows it, but it's San Francisco.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- Oh!- The Exploratorium.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39Which means
0:16:39 > 0:16:42you live to fight another day, Laura. Great news.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45And not so great news is, it's sudden death.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49So, as you saw before, you won't be getting any choices. Here you are.
0:16:49 > 0:16:55In 1929, the inaugural Max Planck Medal was shared by Max Planck
0:16:55 > 0:16:56and which other scientist?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I really don't know
0:16:59 > 0:17:04so I'm just going to have to go for a pure guess and say Isaac Einstein.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Is that your answer? - Yeah, that's my answer.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Oh, dear.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Laura, we have to take first names and surnames.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- It's- Albert- Einstein.- Oh, gosh.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Oh, no...
0:17:19 > 0:17:21You're obviously thinking of the right guy.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Sorry, I don't know what's come over me.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29- I've obviously had a bit of a panic.- I feel bad. Albert Einstein.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32But it is a hard and fast rule in Eggheads,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35we need a correct first name and surname.
0:17:35 > 0:17:40Daphne, the Cosmonaut Training Centre at Star City, Moscow
0:17:40 > 0:17:41is named after whom?
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- Yuri Gagarin. - You're saying Yuri Gagarin.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- Yeah.- And you got his first name right.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52It's the right answer, yes, Yuri Gagarin.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Laura, that was so, so close. I'm so sorry.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56It means you won't be in the final round.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Well, Laura, one thing is for sure,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- you'll never get Albert Einstein's name wrong again.- Definitely not!
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Bad luck there.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09But, as it stands, the Spare Ribs have lost two brains
0:18:09 > 0:18:12from the final round, the Eggheads have lost one
0:18:12 > 0:18:14and it could still be all square in that final round because
0:18:14 > 0:18:17we've got one last head-to-head to play and this one is Politics.
0:18:17 > 0:18:23And you have come up the line and it's Kath or Lydia.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Yeah, we were coming up the line but that's my subject, I'm afraid!
0:18:27 > 0:18:30We shared them out and I'm on that one.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Daphne just played there so you have, in the middle there,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Barry and Pat.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38I think they're both brilliant.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40They both know loads.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Shall we go for Pat? Because I think he's younger,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46so he might have missed some things that were ages ago.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- We'll go for Pat, I think. - Very diplomatic there.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53You see, it's the designer beard now that makes him look a lot younger.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Let's have Lydia and Pat into the Question Room, please.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00OK, Lydia, let's see if you can dispatch Pat
0:19:00 > 0:19:02and make it all square in the final round.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Well, everyone else has gone first so I'll go first as well.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Good luck, Lydia. First question on politics. In 2011,
0:19:15 > 0:19:19who was appointed by Boris Johnson as Ambassador for Street Parties?
0:19:23 > 0:19:28OK, I didn't hear this on the news. I can't see it being Ann Widdecombe.
0:19:28 > 0:19:34She doesn't really seem like the street party type, I don't think.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38And maybe Helen Mirren is too busy doing proper acting things,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41but Barbara Windsor is a sort of woman of the people,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44as sort of party-ish type person.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49So as an educated-ish guess, I'll say Barbara Windsor.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Seems logical. It is the right answer. Well done.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57Pat, which political spouse contested the seat of North Thanet
0:19:57 > 0:19:59at the 1983 general election?
0:20:04 > 0:20:08I don't think Miriam Clegg has ever contested a seat.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13I think it is Cherie Blair. I think it was her first outing.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18OK, first and unsuccessful outing in 1983. It's the right answer.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Well done.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Lydia,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24which term is used to refer to countries that avoid
0:20:24 > 0:20:27alliances and political relations with other countries?
0:20:31 > 0:20:37OK, we did a bit of this in school at A-level history.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Like the United States. I think it is isolationist.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44And isolationist policy is the right answer. Well done, Lydia.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45You have two.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51And Pat, the 2011 agreement between the British government and several
0:20:51 > 0:20:56major banks was named after which character from Arthurian legend?
0:21:00 > 0:21:04I'm not sure that there is any deep significance in the name,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06but I think they called it Merlin.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Project Merlin is the right answer, so, all square
0:21:10 > 0:21:15and Lydia, this is the point where some of your colleagues failed,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17let's get you past the third question
0:21:17 > 0:21:19and put some real pressure on Pat.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24In 2004, Nicolas Sarkozy became leader of which political party?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- OK, let me think about it for a minute.- Of course!
0:21:34 > 0:21:37And establish if he is left-wing or right-wing, make sure I don't panic.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39And do a Laura.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45For no particular reason other than it maybe sounds right
0:21:45 > 0:21:50and because of the time, people moving towards the centre, like
0:21:50 > 0:21:54New Labour, although that was a bit earlier, I will try the New Centre.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58The New Centre for a man who went on to become President of France.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03It is not the right answer, no. Do you know, Pat, from the other two?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- I think it's in the middle. I think it's the UMP.- Yes.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Pat, this is your question, the controversial politician
0:22:13 > 0:22:18Earl Butz was created Agriculture Secretary by which US President?
0:22:22 > 0:22:23This was a very colourful man,
0:22:23 > 0:22:30whose most famous quotes can't be repeated at this time of the day.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Scarcely credible. But I think he was linked with Nixon.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37It's the right answer, Pat.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Bad luck, Lydia, you just didn't get that third question.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Means you won't be in the final round.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49So this is what we have been playing towards, time for the final round,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51which as always, is general knowledge.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53But those of you who lost your head to heads,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56won't be able to take part in this round.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00So, Lydia, Laura and Sheila from the Spare Ribs
0:23:00 > 0:23:04and Judith from the Eggheads, would you all leave the studio, please?
0:23:05 > 0:23:09So, Kath and Anne, you are playing to win the Spare Ribs £14,000.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat, you are playing for something
0:23:13 > 0:23:16which money cannot buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21but this time the questions are all general knowledge.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23And you are allowed to confer.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26So the question is, are your two brains
0:23:26 > 0:23:28better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31And Kath and Anne, would you like to go first or second?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I think we'll go first...
0:23:33 > 0:23:37I think we'll go first, Dermot, please.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Lovely stuff. OK, playing for £14,000, here is your first question.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50Dreich and mizzle are terms referring to which type of weather?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I think we can rule out sunny, they don't sound sunny words.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58We don't have much sunny anyway.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02And they sound Scottish, so that makes sense.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- Shall we go for rainy?- Yes.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08- We'll go for rainy, Dermot. - Rainy, based on the general climate.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Yes, it's the right answer.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13- Mizzle is such a wonderful word. Not wonderful weather.- That's right.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Mist and drizzle.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18OK, Eggheads, what was the name of the investment bank whose
0:24:18 > 0:24:23bankruptcy in 2008 was the biggest in US history?
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- Yes, it is Lehman Bros, isn't it? - Yes, it is.- It was Lehman Bros.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33The right answer.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36So, all square and back to the Spare Ribs.
0:24:36 > 0:24:42Arch, arch gravity and gravity are types of what type of structure?
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- It doesn't sound like a dam to me. - It doesn't sound like a tower to me.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- I think we're both leaning towards bridge.- I'm not sure about dam.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00- I don't know, we are ruling out tower, aren't we?- I think we are.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01It's between bridge and dam.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- OK, shall we go for a bridge? - Yes.- OK.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13I think, it's a bit of a guess, but we're going to go for bridge, please.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Bridge with those arches there, clearly.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19But it's not the right answer. Eggheads.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- They're dams.- They are dams.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26As we heard discussed there, dams were thought of.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Where'd you get gravity? What's the arch gravity and gravity?
0:25:30 > 0:25:34A gravity dam is one which does not rely on the structural
0:25:34 > 0:25:39strength of the dam, but its sheer mass is just so enormously huge
0:25:39 > 0:25:42and heavy that that acts as the mechanism.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Thanks for clearing that up. Your second question.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Nina Conti became best known in which field of entertainment?
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- She's the daughter of Tom Conti. She's a ventriloquist, I think.- Yes?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Nina Conti. I think she's Tom Conti's daughter.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01And I think she is a gifted ventriloquist.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02All right.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Pat believes she is the daughter of Tom Conti
0:26:04 > 0:26:07and that she is a gifted ventriloquist.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09If I could throw my voice, I'd have answered this question properly.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11But we'll go for ventriloquist.
0:26:11 > 0:26:17It is lucky I can see Pat's hands or I would think he was operating you.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21He knew the answer and you didn't. It is the right answer, yes.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Nina Conti, daughter of Tom Conti, a ventriloquist.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29OK, means you need to get this, then and best of luck with it. Kath and Anne.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32The Benue is the main tributary of which river?
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- Any ideas?- No, but I know the Nile
0:26:38 > 0:26:41has the White Nile and the Blue Nile.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- I don't think it's the Nile. - Niger and the Congo.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50It's a 50/50 guess, if we're ruling out the Nile. Shall we go for Congo?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52It's certainly a very big basin, the Congo.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54It would probably have lots of tributaries.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59- It could be one we haven't hear of. - Yes.- OK.- We'll try the Congo, Dermot.
0:26:59 > 0:27:05OK, the Congo. What do you think, Eggheads, is it Congo?
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- I would have gone for the Niger myself.- It is the Niger.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Oh, bad luck. Both those last two answers,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15which you haven't got have been so plausible.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20So plausible, but I'm afraid it is incorrect, which means,
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Well, you really did have some bad luck, I think, Spare Ribs,
0:27:32 > 0:27:34both in terms of the categories that came up,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37but I think you probably didn't really want some of them
0:27:37 > 0:27:40and might have preferred some of the ones that didn't come up,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43but also the questions you got and how you dealt with them,
0:27:43 > 0:27:47in particular, thinking of Laura's fantastic effort.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52So near, but so far. The main thing is, did you enjoy yourselves?
0:27:52 > 0:27:54- Oh, yes, we have. - That's what we came for.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- We weren't interested in the money. - No!- No!
0:27:57 > 0:27:58Much(!)
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- LAUGHTER - Well, that's the right attitude.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Thank you very much indeed for bringing it into the studio
0:28:03 > 0:28:05here with the Eggheads.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07The Eggheads today have done what comes increasingly naturally
0:28:07 > 0:28:10to them and their winning streak goes on.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £14,000.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16That means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:19 > 0:28:20Join us next time to see
0:28:20 > 0:28:24if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26£15,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
