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 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And taking on the might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are the Beech Boys from Surrey.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41This team of friends are all members of Carshalton Beeches
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Bowling Club and regularly quiz together after a game.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Cliff, I'm 55 years old and I'm Head of Income.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi. I'm Steve. I am 59 years old and I work as an administrator.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi. I'm Richard, I'm 57 and I am a Local Government Officer.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Mark. I'm 50 years old and I'm an ICT manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Hi. I'm John, I'm 66 and I am a retired electrical engineer.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06So, Cliff and team, welcome.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- ALL:- Hi!- And it's a bowling club you all belong to.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Yes, Carshalton Beeches Bowling Club.- Which is crown green bowling.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- No...- Tell us the different kinds.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16There's crown green bowling which is more of a northern game
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- and the southern game is on a flat surface.- OK.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22And you have a club quiz night, do you?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Yes, we have club quiz nights every couple of months
0:01:24 > 0:01:28and then there's another local club we go to which is a tennis club where we quiz as well.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30And what would be the reaction if this lot
0:01:30 > 0:01:34walked into the Carshalton Beeches club quiz night?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Oh, well, I think they'd really look forward to the challenge,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- I think.- Because we've got the reverse happening here.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42So, Carshalton Beeches has come to the Eggheads.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Let's see what happens.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Challengers, however of they fail to defeat the Eggheads
0:01:49 > 0:01:51the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54So, Beech Boys, the Eggheads have won the last five games which
0:01:54 > 0:01:58means that £6,000 says you cannot beat them today.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04- Right.- Who would like this?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06THEY CONFER
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- Either myself, or Steve or Richard.- Not me.- No.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- Myself or you, wasn't it?- Do you want to?- OK, I'll do it.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Richard.- Richard on Science against which Egghead?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Maybe Daphne or Chris.
0:02:20 > 0:02:26I don't fancy Chris, I think he's too clever. Let's go for Daphne.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28JEREMY LAUGHS
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- You didn't hear that conversation, did you?- Parts of it!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33She does like a challenge.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37So, Richard from the Beech Boys, which is B-E-E-C-H, of course,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39very good pun...
0:02:39 > 0:02:42versus Daphne from the Eggheads which is just E-G-G.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44To ensure there is no conferring please
0:02:44 > 0:02:46take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- You were press-ganged on Science, Richard?- It looks like it, yes.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I am pleased to say it can include the natural habitat
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- and I know you love bird-watching. - I do indeed, yes.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Casual bird-watching, not a twitcher.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04But I go for the odd walk and like to look at the birds while out.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06That's the best sort, isn't it?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09It's relaxing and getting a bit of exercise at the same time.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13So, we are on Science, Richard. Do you want to go first or second?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I'd like to take the first set of questions, please.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Here we go. Good luck.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Which British founder of the World Wide Web made a special
0:03:22 > 0:03:26appearance at the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Well, unfortunately I didn't watch
0:03:33 > 0:03:36the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I am not confident.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42I will go for Tim Berners-Lee.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Yeah. I am so glad you did.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46You've got it right. Daphne, your question.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50What was the name of the standard leaded petrol that was
0:03:50 > 0:03:54withdrawn from sale on petrol forecourts in 2000?
0:03:58 > 0:04:03- Well, the only one I have heard of is four-star petrol so four-star.- Yes.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I didn't realise that was withdrawn from sale in 2000 but you're right.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Four-star it is. OK, Richard.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14In medicine, the term Bogart-Bacall Syndrome is sometimes used to
0:04:14 > 0:04:16describe a disorder of which part of the body?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23This is another one I'm not absolutely sure of.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I cannot even dismiss any.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30I'm afraid it is going to be a total guess.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Vocal cords, I think.- Yes. Good guess. Correct.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Never heard of that one.- No.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37There are so many strange syndromes.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Someone the other day was telling me about Capgras Syndrome.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Anyone know what that is? - Yes.- Barry?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Is that when you believe your friends have been
0:04:45 > 0:04:47swapped for aliens or something like that?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51All of your friends have been replaced by impostors. Yes.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54But there are very few examples of it in the world.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57OK. Assuming it IS Daphne, we carry on!
0:04:57 > 0:05:01For what do the letters QR stand in QR code,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04the name given to a type of bar code that can be
0:05:04 > 0:05:07read by the camera on a mobile phone or smartphone?
0:05:12 > 0:05:16I think that is quick response.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Quick response is correct.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Here's your next question.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Richard, in January 2013 an American professor discovered
0:05:23 > 0:05:26what was believed to be the world's largest prime number
0:05:26 > 0:05:30consisting of approximately how many digits?
0:05:36 > 0:05:42If it's going to be the largest number I'd go for...
0:05:42 > 0:05:44the 170 million.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47170 million different digits.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I know if I throw this to Daphne you won't know
0:05:50 > 0:05:53because the numbers, they swim in front of your eyes, don't they?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Yes, but I think I would have gone for the middle one.- Yes.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59It is the middle one. It's 17.4, actually.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01That gives Daphne a chance here.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Often cultivated a house plant
0:06:03 > 0:06:08phalaenopsis is known by what alternative name, Daphne?
0:06:13 > 0:06:17I'm sure Judith knows.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I don't.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Erm... I don't think it's a chrysanthemum.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Erm...
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Known by what other name? OK.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Try the most unobvious. Rubber tree.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- No, it's Moth Orchid!- Ohh!
0:06:39 > 0:06:44That's so funny. I was sure you get that. So, it's equal after three.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Richard, we go to Sudden Death. It gets a bit harder.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Because I don't give you alternative answers, OK? Here we go.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Graphene is a form of which chemical element?
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Erm...
0:06:53 > 0:06:57I would say that is a carbon element.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Carbon is correct.- Well done!
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Daphne,
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Ba is the chemical symbol of which element?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Barium.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Barium is right. Got it. Well done.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16OK, back to Richard. Sudden Death.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20A meteorite found in the Sahara Desert in 2011
0:07:20 > 0:07:25and nicknamed Black Beauty was proved to be from which planet?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I would guess at Venus.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Team-mates, do you know? - ALL:- Mars.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- They all think it's Mars and they're right, Richard.- Ah!
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Daphne has the chance to take the round.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Vampire finches are birds native to which island group?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45The Galapagos?
0:07:45 > 0:07:49It is the Galapagos, Daphne. How did you know that?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Well, Darwin's finches.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56Darwin did a lot of study on finches when he was in the Galapagos.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Very good. Yes, you're right, Daphne.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Richard, that's what you're up against. You played well though. - Yes.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Ran her very, very close.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06You have been knocked out and Daphne will be in the final.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Please both of you come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14As it stands, the Beech Boys have lost one brain from the final round.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Still very early days. The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Let's see what happens next. The subject is Film & Television.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Beech Boys, who wants this?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- That was you. - That was the one I fancied.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- It looks like it's going to be you. - I'll go for it. I don't mind.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Mark's going to have a try at Film & Television.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- OK, Mark, against which Egghead? - I would try Chris. I would try Chris.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Yes, let's try Chris.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Mark from the Beech Boys against Chris from the Eggheads on Film & TV.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Please take your positions.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46This is a good round for you, Mark,
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- because of course you were born on television.- Yes, unfortunately.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53It was my 15 minutes claim to fame.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58I was actually born on a programme called Your Life In Their Hands way back in 1963.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01It's interesting. We're roughly the same age.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03They had a fly-on-the-wall documentary thing
0:09:03 > 0:09:05and you were one of the examples, were you?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Yes, I came out of the hospital signing autographs!
0:09:08 > 0:09:12That must have been, at the time, the early '60s, sensational.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16I don't know a lot about it and I've never seen it on television.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- I don't know whether one would want to watch that.- No!
0:09:19 > 0:09:23I think maybe not. Mark, you can choose whether you go first or second.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Here's your question.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31"I feel the need, the need for speed,"
0:09:31 > 0:09:34are famous lines from which 1980s film?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I know it's not Back To The Future
0:09:40 > 0:09:42and I don't imagine it's Ghostbusters.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45I've never seen Top Gun but I'll go for Top Gun.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48You're right, Top Gun. Great film.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Chris, the Supermatch Game was a feature of which TV game show?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00That was Blankety Blank, Jeremy.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Blankety Blank is correct.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Mark, over to you.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Who played the lead role of Francis Underwood in the 2013 US remake
0:10:08 > 0:10:12of the 1990s British TV series House Of Cards?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20I only saw the British one. I've never seen the American one.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Probably going to rule out Kevin Spacey
0:10:22 > 0:10:24because he spends a lot of time in the UK.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I'd more likely go for Kevin Kline.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Interestingly Kevin Spacey moves around a bit
0:10:31 > 0:10:33and he is the answer.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Chris, your question.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Who played the leading female role of Evelyn Mulwray
0:10:38 > 0:10:42in the 1974 Oscar-winning film Chinatown?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48That was Faye Dunaway, Jeremy.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50I watched it only recently and it's such a great film.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Faye Dunaway is the right answer. OK, so you've got one wrong, Mark.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57You need to get this right. Film & TV, your third question.
0:10:57 > 0:11:03What was the title of the follow-on series to the 1980s TV sitcom Fresh Fields
0:11:03 > 0:11:05starring Anton Rodgers and Julia McKenzie?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Again, don't think it was the first one, Funny Fields.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I can't actually remember it. I'll go for French Fields.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21French Fields is right. Well done.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I don't remember the programme.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Do you remember it, Mark, or not?- Vaguely.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I do remember it being set abroad but I couldn't remember
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- if it was French or elsewhere. - All right.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Chris, if you get this right, you will be in the final round.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37What is the usual English title of the French new wave film
0:11:37 > 0:11:41A Bout De Souffle directed by Jean-Luc Godard?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46It's Breathless, Jeremy.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Breathless is correct and you are in the final, Chris.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Sorry, Mark, you've been knocked out
0:11:52 > 0:11:55so another blow for your team, the Beech Boys.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Let's see what happens next. Please come back to us.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Now that actually was, Eggheads,
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Chris's 600th victory in the Question Room.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Oh!- 600.- Well done.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13So it would have been a shame to spoil that. That is the upside.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I can see you don't quite agree, Mark!
0:12:16 > 0:12:20As it stands, the Beech Boys have lost two brains from the final round.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24The Eggheads have not lost any. Where do we go next? To Sport.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Which of you would like sport?
0:12:26 > 0:12:30I've already had a volunteer for sport and it's John at the end.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- John, it's you. Against? - I'll take Judith, please.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35What a surprise.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37You obviously watch the show.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39John from the Beech Boys versus Judith from the Eggheads,
0:12:39 > 0:12:41please go to the Question Room now.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46So, John, on Sport, would you like to go first or second?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48First, please, Jeremy.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55Here we go. Good luck. In which of these sports might one commit a backcourt violation?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I can't see it being diving.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Archery, I haven't heard of it but I think it could be in basketball.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Yes, basketball is right. - Well done.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09OK, Judith.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Who became chairman of England's Rugby Football Union in July 2012?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Well, not Jonny Wilkinson because he's still playing.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Um, Bill Beaumont.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26You said it so uncertainly.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Well, I feel a bit uncertain.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- I'm just slightly doubtful about Will Carling.- I bet John knows. John?
0:13:32 > 0:13:37- I think she's right.- You're right, Judith. Bill Beaumont is right.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39OK, second question to you, John.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44In football, which country won its third Africa Cup of Nations title in 2013?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51I don't think it was South Africa.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53I'll go for Nigeria.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Nigeria is correct, John. Nicely done.- Well done.- Very nicely done.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59It would be easy to come unstuck on that one.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01OK, Judith.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Westmead Hawk, the first animal athlete to be displayed
0:14:04 > 0:14:10as a waxwork at Madame Tussaud's in London competed in which sport?
0:14:13 > 0:14:19Well, I know there's a greyhound somewhere in Tring or something.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I have no idea about this.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25I've just never heard it as a racehorse
0:14:25 > 0:14:29which is putting me off horse.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I think I am nonetheless going to go for horse
0:14:34 > 0:14:37because horses are more famous than anything else.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Let me just ask Daphne. Daphne knows.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Greyhound. - Greyhound is Westmead Hawk.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45It means you've taken the lead, John,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47and if you get this one right, you have taken the round.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Which British competitor won a gold medal
0:14:50 > 0:14:54in the men's double trap shooting event at the 2012 Olympic Games?
0:14:58 > 0:15:03Not too sure on this one. I think Luke Patience was a rower.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I think I'm going to have to plump for Peter Wilson.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I'm not really sure on it.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Double trap shooting event at the 2012 Olympic Games
0:15:14 > 0:15:17was Peter Wilson. Well done, John. You've taken the round.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Really good play on Sports there.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Sorry, Judith. All on a greyhound, eh?- I know.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25All the money on a single animal and you're out of the final round
0:15:25 > 0:15:28and John is in. Rejoin your teams. We'll play on.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34All right. As it stands we are getting some good vibrations from the Beech Boys
0:15:34 > 0:15:36because although you have lost two brains,
0:15:36 > 0:15:41you've taken out an Egghead brain and doesn't Judith look cross?
0:15:41 > 0:15:42- I do not!- You do.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- You were looking really grumpy. - No, I'm not.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47The next subject is Geography.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Who would like this?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Which Beech Boy? - Do you want to try geography?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- Depends whether you want to be left or not.- I don't mind being left.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- I don't mind either. - Steve's going to try Geography then.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01OK. Steve on Geography against which Egghead?
0:16:01 > 0:16:05You've got two challenges there, haven't you?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- Pat.- Try Pat, please.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11OK, so Steve from the Beech Boys against Pat from the Eggheads on Geography.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16So it's Steve against Pat on Geography.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19You look as if you're ready to go on a journey, Pat.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Yes, I've got my Barbados clothes on!
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Alas I am chained to an answering desk.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27We call those shirts Hawaiian shirts, I suppose.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31It's just a general-purpose loud shirt. A dart-playing shirt, perhaps.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35If you need help with that shirt, Steve, we can always turn the volume down on it. Let us know.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39We'll get the technicians out. Steve, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I'd like to go first, Jeremy.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Here we go. Good luck to you both.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49In which country is the town of Castel Gandolfo,
0:16:49 > 0:16:52best known as the location of the summer residence of the Pope?
0:16:55 > 0:17:00Given that the Pope lives in Italy, I would say Italy.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Italy is the right answer.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Pat, your question.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11The names of which Caribbean islands mean "ancient" and "bearded" in Spanish?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I think Tobago gets its name from "tobacco"
0:17:20 > 0:17:25but the "ancient" and "bearded" name is Antigua and Barbuda.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Where you'd be at home in that shirt, I think?- I think so!
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Antigua and Barbuda is the right answer.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34I never knew that information. How interesting. OK, Steve.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Which of these is the most northerly service station on the M1 motorway in England?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I don't think it's Newport Pagnell.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Toddington... I don't know.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51I'll go for Woolley Edge.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Yes, you've got it. Well done. Woolley Edge.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58OK, Pat,
0:17:58 > 0:18:02what informal name is sometimes given to the southeast corner of Cornwall
0:18:02 > 0:18:05due to the fact that it is often bypassed by tourists?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I wouldn't have thought any part of Cornwall
0:18:12 > 0:18:13really misses out on tourists.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Dark Corner sounds a bit forbidding.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I'm not sure. I haven't heard the term.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26I'll go for Forgotten Corner. It seems the most likely.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Forgotten Corner is the right answer.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30OK, Steve, your question.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35The area of shallow water called the Flemish Cap is located in which ocean?
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Flemish?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43I would associate Flemish with Belgium
0:18:43 > 0:18:48or with the European sort of area so I don't think it's Pacific Ocean.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53Probably not Indian Ocean. I would go for Atlantic.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- Atlantic is correct. - Good answer, Steve.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Pat, your question. If you get this one wrong,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02you'll be thrown out dramatically.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05The India Gate, a war memorial in New Delhi,
0:19:05 > 0:19:08was inspired by which Parisian landmark?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Well, it's described as a gate.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Of those three options, the Arc de Triomphe
0:19:18 > 0:19:23most closely resembles an arched gate, so I'll go for Arc de Triomphe.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Arc de Triomphe is the right answer. Well done.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Three out of three for you both.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- Oh, Steve. They're not easy to beat, are they?- No, not at all.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37We go through to the rather frighteningly named Sudden Death stage now.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39I don't give you alternative answers. Here we go.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42The Bulford Kiwi is a large kiwi-shaped figure
0:19:42 > 0:19:47carved into the side of a hill in which English county?
0:19:47 > 0:19:51I've never heard of it so it's going to be a guess. Wiltshire?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- You're good. Wiltshire's right. - Well done. Good answer.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58OK, Pat.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01The equator passes through Ecuador, Brazil
0:20:01 > 0:20:04and which other South American country?
0:20:04 > 0:20:08I think it catches a piece of Colombia, which is rather surprising.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Colombia is the right answer.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Steve, your question.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16The historic port of Malindi, M-A-L-I-N-D-I,
0:20:16 > 0:20:20visited by Vasco da Gama, is in which African country?
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Never heard of it so again this is going to be a complete guess.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Mozambique?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- I might have gone for that as well. It's Kenya.- Ah.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36So Pat, we go to you now.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37You have a chance for the round.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Lake Van is the largest lake in which country?
0:20:41 > 0:20:46I think it lies in mountainous terrain in eastern Turkey.
0:20:46 > 0:20:52Turkey is the right answer. Well done, Pat, you're in the final round.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Sorry, Steve.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- He just didn't get one wrong there. Not at all.- No. That was tough.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01It happens more than we might expect and you've been knocked out.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Pat will be in the final round. Please rejoin your team-mates.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11It is time for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:14 > 0:21:16won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19So Steve, Richard and Mark from the Beech Boys
0:21:19 > 0:21:22and Judith from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Cliff and John, you're playing to win the Beech Boys £6,000.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something
0:21:31 > 0:21:34that money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37As usual I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40This time the questions are all General Knowledge
0:21:40 > 0:21:42and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46So, Cliff and John, the question is are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four
0:21:46 > 0:21:48and would you like to go first or second?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51I think we decided we were going to go first to follow the trend.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Good luck to you both. Here we go.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01Which of these words appears first in the traditional lyrics of the song God Save The Queen?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07HE HUMS
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Noble. Yes, we were just trying to run through the lyrics there.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15- It's noble, I think. - Yes, I think so.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16- We think it's noble.- OK.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- What is the lyric you're remembering then? God save our?- Gracious Queen.
0:22:20 > 0:22:26- God save our noble Queen.- Send her victorious, happy and glorious.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Yes, you've got it right. Well done. Nobel it is.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Be easy to come unstuck on that one. I was having doubts.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Here we go, Eggheads. Your first question.
0:22:35 > 0:22:40The word "decimate" derives from a practice in the ancient Roman army
0:22:40 > 0:22:44of putting to death what percentage of a body of soldiers
0:22:44 > 0:22:46guilty of mutiny or other crime?
0:22:48 > 0:22:52This was the most severe punishment a Roman legion could face
0:22:52 > 0:22:56when the men were lined up and every 10th man in a row was taken out
0:22:56 > 0:23:00and beaten to death by his colleagues. So it's one in ten.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- Give me an answer that's on the screen if you can.- Sorry, ten.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Ten is the correct answer. This is your question then, Beech Boys.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Which of these fictional schoolboys was created first?
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Oh, I think Adrian Mole was the most recent one. Billy Bunter?
0:23:19 > 0:23:25- My days easily. Tom Brown's School Days.- Earlier, wasn't it?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28I think that was earlier because Billy Bunter's in comics.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31I think we're going to go for Tom Brown on that one.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Tom Brown is the right answer. Well done.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36OK, Eggheads.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40The word "postprandial" is used to describe something that takes place when?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- After eating?- Yes. We're all agreed on this one.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50"Postprandial" is something that takes place after eating.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54After eating is correct. OK.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56So two each.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Playing well. You get this one right, they get theirs wrong,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02you have taken the jackpot. £6,000. That's it.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05No more work needs to be done. Here's your question.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10Which American actor, well-known for his tough guy roles in 1930s films,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13was banned from entering Britain in 1967
0:24:13 > 0:24:18because his presence was not perceived to be conducive to the public good?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Ooh. This is more your area, isn't it?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30I was trying to think if he was anything to do with the Mafia.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35- I know it's from America but George Raft had a bad name, didn't he?- Yes.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38I don't know Paul Muni.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Edward G Robinson, I can't imagine him being banned from the country.
0:24:42 > 0:24:48- So George Raft, do you think? - Let's go for George Raft.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- It's our best guess.- Best guess. We don't know for sure
0:24:51 > 0:24:54but we think George Raft might be with some of his connections.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56George Raft...
0:24:56 > 0:25:00is the right answer. Nice play.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Can anyone help here? Not just for being a bad guy in films?
0:25:03 > 0:25:07- He was allegedly involved with the mob.- Yes, the Mafia.- Allegedly.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10He was a genuine gangster rather than a movie gangster.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12It wasn't to do with the film parts he played?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15He played a gangster in the films as well.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20George Raft is the right answer. Well done. Very good. All right.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Eggheads, if you get this one wrong, the prize goes to our Challengers.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28What is the real first name of the singer and actor Noddy Holder?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- It's not Nigel.- No.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35I've got a feeling it's Neville.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37What does everybody else think?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39I haven't got a clue, no.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- Never heard it.- Neville's ringing more of a bell than Norbert.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46- Norbert Holder doesn't sound right. - No. I think it's Neville.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- BIRMINGHAM ACCENT:- Nobody in that part of the world
0:25:49 > 0:25:52is going to call their son Norbert, are they?
0:25:52 > 0:25:53- Neville.- All right.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56We're not 100% certain on this one but the consensus of opinion
0:25:56 > 0:25:59is Neville so we hope that's the right answer.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00We're going for Neville.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Your answer is Neville and if you've got it wrong... If!
0:26:04 > 0:26:07The contest is over, Eggheads, if you've got it wrong.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Neville is the right answer.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15- Very rare for Daphne to have nothing on it. Nothing at all.- No.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17I've always known him as Noddy.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19You had them on the edge
0:26:19 > 0:26:24of the precipice and the soil was under their fingernail tips but they clung on.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28We go to Sudden Death. I don't give you alternatives.
0:26:28 > 0:26:34Heart Skips A Beat and Dance With Me Tonight were UK number one singles in 2011
0:26:34 > 0:26:37for which former X Factor contestant?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Oh, X Factor.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45The second name is Burke. I don't know the first name.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- Sandra Burke or something? - Not Sandra Burke.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- Alexandra?- Alexandra Burke. Yes, that's the only one I can think of.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Alexandra Burke, we think. - Alexandra Burke?
0:26:56 > 0:27:01- Who was Alexandra Burke, Eggheads? - She had a giant hit with Hallelujah.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- OK?- I think this might be Olly Murs.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Olly Murs. Olly Murs is the answer.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09You got that wrong.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12We're in Sudden Death so it could all end very quickly here.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Let's see what the Eggheads do with this question.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Jacqueline Roque married which artist in 1961?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22I think she married Picasso.
0:27:22 > 0:27:28I think Picasso's first wife was a ballerina, Olga somebody,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30but I think she married Picasso. Can you spell that, please?
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Jacqueline is J-A-C-Q-U-E-L-I-N-E, exactly as you'd expect.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Roque is R-O-Q-U-E.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- I'm reasonably certain it's Picasso. All agreed?- Yes.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44We think she was the second wife of Pablo Picasso.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- Pablo Picasso? Are you sure Picasso was alive in '61?- Oh, yes.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- When did he die? - Sometime in the '70s, I think.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Jacqueline Roque married Pablo Picasso in 1961.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58We say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Would you have got that one, Challengers? Might have got there?
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Might have got there through the age.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- I think he died in '73, but I'm not sure.- '73 sounds right.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17So we say commiserations, Beech Boys.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and their winning streak continues.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- It's been a lot of fun having you in.- It's been great fun being here.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26- We've had a really great day. - I'm really glad. Thank you.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28I'm afraid you won't be going home with £6,000.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30I hope that hasn't spoiled the day at all.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34The money rolls over to our next show and makes it even more exciting.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:37 > 0:28:42Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45£7,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
