0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is...
0:00:19 > 0:00:20can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, 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 our quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are the Fabulous Rat Circus from Southport.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Now this friends and family team share two passions in life,
0:00:41 > 0:00:45and, no, it's not rats or circuses, it's football and quizzes.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50Quite what that has to do with rats and the circus? Let's find out.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, my name's Phil, I'm 31 years old and I'm an affordable warmth worker.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Dave, I'm 30 and I'm a retail manager.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Barry, I'm 30 and I work in a building society.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Matt, I'm 30 and I'm a civil servant.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Sonny, I'm 29 and I'm a hotel concierge.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10So, Phil and team, welcome.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- ALL: Hi. - You know what I'm going to ask.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Where does the title of the team come from?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18We wanted to go for something completely original, erm,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21and also something that wasn't just a reworking of somebody else's
0:01:21 > 0:01:25name or anything that was rude, so, Dave somehow came up with
0:01:25 > 0:01:29the Fabulous Rat Circus and it's remained ever since.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30And it's not just for quizzing,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32it's also for football and bowling, you do as well?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Yeah, we've entered a couple of bowling competitions.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Not very good, a couple of us are really good,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40but you get the weak sides letting us down, so...
0:01:40 > 0:01:43But, yeah, we use it every possible opportunity,
0:01:43 > 0:01:44just because it's so unusual.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47There's a bit of family in here, I know, but the friends,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49how did the friends meet in this team?
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Erm, we all went to school or college together, erm,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54and a couple of us worked together at one point as well,
0:01:54 > 0:01:58so we go back about 20 years at least, most of us.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Can you release rats if the Eggheads start to misbehave?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03That's the plan, that is the plan.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05I know at least one player who will not be happy with that.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:08 > 0:02:10up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads the prize money
0:02:13 > 0:02:14rolls over to the next show.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16And I can tell you, Fabulous Rat Circus,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19that the Eggheads have won the last six games.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22So that means £7,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23They are building up a bit of a run here.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Would you like to start?- Yes.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Yep.- We're ready.- Yes.- You're ready.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Food & Drink.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Who wants this?
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- Sonny, you always fancied the opener. Yeah?- So...
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- That's us.- Would you be happy to go for that?- Erm...
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Not as happy as I would be. - No, it's not your first choice.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- No, it wouldn't be my first choice. - You are a food guy.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49I mean, this was the plan, wasn't it?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52I mean, I'll take it if you want, but...
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- It's you, Sonny, is it? Down the end?- Yeah, it's me.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58OK, against which Egghead? Who would you like to pick?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01There they all are, looking intelligent.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Er, I'll take on Kevin, please.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07So it is Sonny from the Fabulous Rat Circus versus Kevin.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Food & Drink, we haven't done this for a while, have we?
0:03:09 > 0:03:10It's a little while, yes.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Let's see what happens. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16please take your positions in the question room.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Now, I'm wondering whether I call you "Sonny" or "Sunny"?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23It's "Sunny". Yeah, you say it like there's a U,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25but it's actually spelt with an O.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Because your birth name was?
0:03:27 > 0:03:28It was Graham.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Oh, right, OK, so, yeah, that's the shortened form, or...?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I just didn't like the name, to be honest.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- And so Sonny has come from that? - Yeah, I just chose the name.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38It was a name that I liked.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Oh, really?- Yeah, it's a bit of a nickname, kind of a Miami Vice thing.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Sonny, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Er, I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Here's your question.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52If a drink is served with a "twist",
0:03:52 > 0:03:55what does the twist usually consist of?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Erm, in my work, working in a hotel, I've also worked on the bar as well.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I know I've twisted a little piece of citrus peel
0:04:07 > 0:04:10off a lemon before to put in a drink.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13I wouldn't imagine it's going to be coffee bean, cos you wouldn't
0:04:13 > 0:04:17put coffee into a drink, the kind of drinks that have a twist.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22Erm, paper umbrella doesn't seem like it's going to be, er, anything to
0:04:22 > 0:04:26do with twisting, so, er, I'm going to go with citrus peel for that one.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Nicely done, citrus peel it is. One point to you.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33OK, Kevin, your question. Which cookery writer and presenter
0:04:33 > 0:04:37became cookery editor of Housewife magazine in 1966?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Right, well, that's going to be a bit early for Nigella Lawson,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47and Isabella Beeton was long, long dead,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50so I think it's got to be Mary Berry.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Mary Berry is the right answer.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Don't even know when Nigella was born, it must be around then,
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- I would have thought. - Something around then, yeah.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59She couldn't have done it at the age of one.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Sonny, your question.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Which of these is a British term
0:05:03 > 0:05:06for what North Americans call "canola oil"?
0:05:10 > 0:05:15Erm, I've got no actual idea what this one is. Erm...
0:05:16 > 0:05:20I've got no reason to suggest any of them over any of the others.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25Erm, so I'll just, I'll go with sesame oil.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Sesame oil, anybody know on the Eggheads' side?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Rapeseed?- Rapeseed. - Rapeseed is the answer.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33So Kevin has a chance to take the lead on Food & Drink.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36A type of what was invented by
0:05:36 > 0:05:41and named after Dr John Abernethy as an aid to digestion?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Er, yes, I'm trying to remember how far back that goes.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I can't remember whether it's late 18th or early 19th century,
0:05:50 > 0:05:56but I believe he may have worked at a hospital in Bath, which was then,
0:05:56 > 0:06:00obviously, a fashionable spa town dealing with these sorts of things.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Erm, and it's an Abernethy biscuit.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Yes, it is an Abernethy biscuit. Well done, you're ahead, Kevin,
0:06:05 > 0:06:09on Food & Drink. So, Sonny, you need to get this one right.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13The dish "lumpia", widely enjoyed in South East Asia, consists of what?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Lumpia is L-U-M-P-I-A.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Lumpia. Again, I haven't got, really...
0:06:23 > 0:06:24I've not been drawn to any of them.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29It doesn't sound like something that you'd have as a part of egg soup.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32As I say, not really sure. Erm...
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I think spring rolls are kind of their own little thing.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Like little finger food.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Er, so I'll just go for prawn dumplings, again, just as a guess.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Do you know, Kevin?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Er, I...hmm, I was slightly tempted by the egg soup, but I don't know.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48The egg soup's off, I'm afraid.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Spring rolls is the answer.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54So, Sonny, I'm afraid you've been knocked out by Kevin,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57but your team has a lot to play for here.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Do please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02So, as it stands,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05the Fabulous Rat Circus have lost a brain from the final round.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet, Kevin remains in the team.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11The next subject is Politics.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Is this good?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- Not good at all, this one. - Oh, good.- Very contentious.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Come on, Baz. We need you to do it. - We need you to do it, Baz.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- I'd be better at geography. - You would be better at geography,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23but you're better at politics than the rest of us.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- I've not seen you get a politics question wrong.- Come on.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Barry, it does look like it's you. It really does.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- The captain's decision is final. - Literally sacrificed.
0:07:33 > 0:07:39- Against which Egghead? Anyone but Kevin.- I'd say...
0:07:39 > 0:07:41THEY CONFER
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Erm, I'll go for Barry.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- We've got a Barry double-Barry. - A brace of Bazzas.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49A double-barreled round, how about that?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52So, Barry from the Fabulous Rat Circus versus
0:07:52 > 0:07:57Barry from the fabulous Eggheads, please take your positions.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00So, Barry on Barry, and Barry from the challengers,
0:08:00 > 0:08:04I gather you have a claim to fame in that you shook the hand of...?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06The president of Peru.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Was that a mistake, or you were meeting him for some reason or what?
0:08:10 > 0:08:11No, I was in the capital, Lima,
0:08:11 > 0:08:13and they were doing a big earthquake drill,
0:08:13 > 0:08:15and there was lots of people just stood around,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17and they had a big tent.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20And then out of the building came this man who was
0:08:20 > 0:08:22flanked by security guards, and he ran into the tent
0:08:22 > 0:08:25and as he came out I was kind of blocking his way,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28and I stuck my hand out and he shook my hand
0:08:28 > 0:08:30and I got a couple of pictures of him
0:08:30 > 0:08:32as he was running away type of thing.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I didn't know who it was, to be honest,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37and I showed the picture to a couple of people and they were like,
0:08:37 > 0:08:38"Well, that's the president."
0:08:38 > 0:08:41So I was quite perplexed that I'd actually met him, to be honest.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43OK, Politics. Do you want to go first or second?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I'll go first, please.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Challenger Barry, here we go.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53In 2013, Anna Soubry, the Minister for Public Health,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56described eating where as "disgusting"?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Erm, tough, tough question.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06This was the category that nobody really wanted.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11I don't know why she would say in your garden or on your bike,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I'm not sure why people would be eating on the bike anyway.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17So I'd say, erm, by a process of elimination,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I'll go for at your desk.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21At your desk is the right answer.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23OK, Barry, your question.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26In the 1990s, David Cameron was political advisor
0:09:26 > 0:09:28to which Conservative Chancellor of the Exchequer?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Oh, well, David Mellor was never Chancellor of the Exchequer,
0:09:36 > 0:09:38and I don't believe it was Kenneth Baker.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41I think he was advisor to Norman Lamont.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44He was, for Black Wednesday. You're right, Norman Lamont.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46OK...
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Back to you, Barry.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51In what year was the Maori Language Act passed,
0:09:51 > 0:09:54recognising Maori as an official language in New Zealand?
0:09:59 > 0:10:03I'm not, I obviously, I don't know the answer to this one.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07It will have to be a complete guess.
0:10:07 > 0:10:13Erm, I'd go 1957.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17It's actually later, 30 years later, 1987.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Barry, your question.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24Which television historian became MP for Stoke-on-Trent Central in 2010?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Well, it's certainly not Mary Beard or Dan Stone.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32I believe that was Tristram Hunt.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Tristram Hunt is correct. So you've taken the lead.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40So that means, Barry from the Fabulous Rat Circus,
0:10:40 > 0:10:41you've got to get this one right.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Which agency of the United Nations was awarded
0:10:44 > 0:10:48the 1965 Nobel Peace Prize?
0:10:57 > 0:11:01I couldn't see the International Monetary Fund, erm, receiving that.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04The United Nations Children's Fund
0:11:04 > 0:11:10just doesn't seem to sit right for me, so I'll veto those two.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I'll go for World Health Organisation.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18No, it is the United Nations Children's Fund, actually.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20It is going back a way, isn't it?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Bad luck to you, Barry from Fabulous Rat Circus,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24you have lost to Barry from the Eggheads
0:11:24 > 0:11:25and he will be in the final.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Please both of you rejoin your teams.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34- OK, so we have lost two brains. - Yes.- I say we, I'm empathising.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Phil, any change of tactic at this crucial stage?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41To be honest, we've already changed our tactics,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I think, because I didn't think the subjects would be quite so cruel.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Food, drink, politics were not what you were hoping for.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Not our strongest. We practised on everything
0:11:50 > 0:11:54but we had two each that we thought would be our best subjects,
0:11:54 > 0:11:57and they happened to not fall into any of those categories.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00And your best subjects would be? What are you looking for now?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Film & TV.- Film & TV.- Yeah, Film & TV. Maybe a bit of music.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Geography. - Film, TV, Sport, Music, OK.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- The next subject is Arts & Books. - CHALLENGERS GROAN
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I'm really sorry.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13That's just the way the cookie crumbles.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- It's got to be Matt. - I'd say Matt.- Dave, Dave.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- We have to go with the captain. - I'm saying Matt, sorry.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23But you said...
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Oh, it's Matt. Now, who do you want to take on, Matt?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- I know this is a difficult moment. - Erm, we'll go Pat.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34OK, don't worry, Matt, this is all good fun.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- Yes, it'll be a barrel of laughs. - You can do it.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Matt from the Fabulous Rat Circus against Pat from the Eggheads,
0:12:40 > 0:12:42and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44please take your positions in the question room.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49OK, we had Barry and Barry, and now it's Pat and Matt.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Erm, it's not quite Matt and Matt, is it?
0:12:51 > 0:12:52I could change my name to Pat.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55My brother changes his name all the time, so it could work that way.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Do you mind me asking about the hair?
0:12:57 > 0:13:02The hair started, erm, when, I think I was at a party and I was a bit
0:13:02 > 0:13:05drunk in around 2002, and I wanted, there was
0:13:05 > 0:13:08a lot of hair dyeing going on, and I wanted my hair to be dyed,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11but I didn't want anyone to think I was dyeing it because I was ginger.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14So I only dyed, like, one half of it blonde.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18But I kind of got used to that sort of halfness, and then it kind of
0:13:18 > 0:13:22like stuck, so I'm always like black and blonde, red and black, or...?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Don't ever commit a crime because you will be, er...
0:13:24 > 0:13:26It'll be pretty easy to find me.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Crimewatch will not have a problem with that one.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Good luck in this round.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I know you were an unwilling participant in this round,
0:13:33 > 0:13:35and I felt for you there.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37It'll be fine, I can probably wing it
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- because we've been very unlucky so far.- Yeah, that's true.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41The luck is about to turn, very true.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Would you like to go first or second?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Barry and my brother both went first, didn't they,
0:13:45 > 0:13:47and they didn't do too well, so I'll go second.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Pat, in the Harry Potter books,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Draco Malfoy is a member of which house at Hogwarts?
0:14:00 > 0:14:06He's a little bit of a scoundrel, I think, and a bit of a foe for Harry.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09But what house does he belong to?
0:14:09 > 0:14:10I'm not entirely sure.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I think I'll have to go for Slytherin, it sounds snaky
0:14:14 > 0:14:16and I think Draco is a bit snaky.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I reckon you know this one, Matt.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21I reckon that my luck hasn't changed yet
0:14:21 > 0:14:23and I should have taken the first lot of questions.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Slytherin is the right answer.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Slytherin it is. OK, your question.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30In the painting known as Whistler's Mother,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32what colour dress is the subject wearing?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Yellow, red or black. Erm...
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Oh, do you know what? There was a film that I saw
0:14:43 > 0:14:45and it had a painting of Whistler's Mother in it,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47is it, like, it's got Rowan Atkinson in it.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51That would be great if I could remember
0:14:51 > 0:14:53what the painting looked like in the film. Erm...
0:14:53 > 0:14:54I don't think,
0:14:54 > 0:14:58if it had been red and yellow it might have stood out a bit more.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59So I'm going to guess at black.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Very good logic, it is black,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03and you're right, it's the Mr Bean film, isn't it?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07I think Bean ends up somehow destroying the painting
0:15:07 > 0:15:09and has to repaint it and all of that.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11It's a complete calamity.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13So, one point each. Pat, over to you.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17What is the usual English name for the medieval art style
0:15:17 > 0:15:20in which people from various stations in life are depicted
0:15:20 > 0:15:23being led towards the grave by skeletons?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Thought one of the options was going to be Eggheads.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36I think this is a particularly cheery artistic genre.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40I've seen a few examples, so I think it's Dance of Death.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Yeah, not sure how that caught on,
0:15:42 > 0:15:45but you're right. Dance of Death it is.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46So your question, Matt.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51Which 20th-century artist had a pet ocelot, Babou,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53with whom he travelled the world?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Erm, I don't know much about painters
0:16:01 > 0:16:04and I know even less about painters' pets.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10I think I'll probably guess at Salvador Dali.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Salvador Dali is your answer and it's quite right.- Oh!
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Just going to wing it, I think.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19A hard one to guess cos they're all, shall we say, eccentric, and...
0:16:19 > 0:16:23I was hoping I may be able to work out which ones are 20th century,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26but I've a funny feeling that all three of them were, weren't they?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- Yes, I suppose Dali was later, was he?- Yeah, Dali was a bit later.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Klimt died fairly early in the century,
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- round about the end of the First World War.- What is an ocelot?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- It's a sort of large cat. - A large cat.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44OK, Pat, in 2007, the Louvre announced plans to open
0:16:44 > 0:16:47a Louvre Museum where in the Middle East?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Well, it's not Qatar.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57It's between, it's in the UA, UAE, so it's either Abu Dhabi or Dubai.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04They do a lot of building in Dubai, but I think Abu Dhabi tends to
0:17:04 > 0:17:10specialise in really heavy-duty museums with leading architects.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Erm...
0:17:13 > 0:17:16The Louvre Dubai, the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22Yeah, they've had some fantastic, erm, modern architectural designs.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26I think, I'm not entirely sure but I'm going to go for Abu Dhabi.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Abu Dhabi is the right answer.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Sorry, Matt, they're playing well today.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33They do tend to, but they're almost...
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Have they got a question wrong yet?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Have you got a question wrong yet, Eggheads?
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- I don't think they have, have they? - No.- No.- Been counting.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42We think they've got nothing wrong so far, but that, you know,
0:17:42 > 0:17:46you never know, that could build up trouble for the final round.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Here's your question.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Therese Desqueyroux is a novel by which
0:17:50 > 0:17:52French Nobel Literature Prize winner?
0:17:59 > 0:18:03My knowledge of French literature is not at its best this week.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Got to get this one right.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Erm, OK.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12I suppose, having only heard really of one of them
0:18:12 > 0:18:15on the list, we'll go with Jean-Paul Sartre.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Pat, do you know? Is he right?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I think that's Francois Mauriac.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Francois Mauriac is the answer, Matt.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Sorry, played well but you've been knocked out. I know it hurts.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Very much. - Pat is in the final round.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Please come back to us and we'll play on.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34So, as it stands, the Fabulous Rat Circus have now lost three
0:18:34 > 0:18:36brains from the final round.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39It's not a crisis but we're in the pre-crisis phase,
0:18:39 > 0:18:40I think it's fair to say.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42The next subject is Film & TV.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Wasn't that supposed to be Matt doing that? Or no...
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- No, it's Dave.- Oh, OK, so now suddenly we're on track.- Hopefully.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54- I hope so.- Dave against... it can be Chris or Judith.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Judith?- Yeah?- I think I'll go for Judith, please.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00OK, good luck, Dave, from the Fabulous Rat Circus
0:19:00 > 0:19:03against Judith on Film & TV. This is probably quite good for you, Judith.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I mean, I like film.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I'm not very good on children's television, though.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09There's quite a lot of that.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12OK, to ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Dave, are you ready for this?
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- As ready as I can be. - It's the big moment, isn't it?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21It is, yeah, a lot of pressure on me now after sacrificing Matt before.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Dave, would you like to go first or second?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25It's not made any difference so far with our luck,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28so I'll be a gentleman and let Judith go first.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Judith, here we go with your first question.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35What was the title of the 2013 TV show in which Tom Daley
0:19:35 > 0:19:37taught celebrities to dive?
0:19:41 > 0:19:42That was Splash.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Splash, did you watch it?
0:19:45 > 0:19:48No, I missed it and I really wanted to watch it.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Well, it sounded as if it was...
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- well, I won't say quite bad... - Oh, was it?
0:19:53 > 0:19:57There was a lot of very hostile criticism, but people saying
0:19:57 > 0:20:00that actually it was bad in a way that made it really good.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- Yes. Well, I would rather have liked to have seen it.- OK.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Dave, your question.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07In the TV show Play Your Cards Right,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10what was the correct answer to the question, "What do points make?"?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16I think this one's quite an obvious one.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Erm...I don't think it's holidays or cars,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21so I'm going to have to go prizes, Jeremy.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- You remember the presenter of that show?- Play Your Cards Right.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28- Was it Bruce Forsyth?- Yeah, it was Bruce Forsyth. "What do points make?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- "Prizes!" Like that. - LAUGHTER
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Here's your question, Judith.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Who played the title role in the 2013 BBC comedy Being Eileen?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I've no idea. Erm...
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Well, Eileen Atkins does write things but, I mean,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54would she...be in something...
0:20:56 > 0:21:00I can't... I think Eileen Atkins is a red herring.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I don't know. Sue Johnston.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- Sue Johnston is correct. - Oh, how lucky!
0:21:07 > 0:21:09They're just getting them all right, Dave.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11It doesn't seem fair!
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- It just isn't.- OK.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17In 1951, who married the singer and actor Yves Montand?
0:21:23 > 0:21:29Right. Well before my era, so... I have no idea.
0:21:30 > 0:21:36For some reason, I don't want to go for Catherine Deneuve, so...
0:21:36 > 0:21:42- I am going to go for Jeanne Moreau as a guess.- See if Judith knows.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47- Is it Jeanne?- No, it's Simone Signoret.- Simone Signoret.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49It was 1951,
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- so you were -30.- Yeah!
0:21:53 > 0:21:58Judith, who directed the 1966 film version of Alfie
0:21:58 > 0:21:59starring Michael Caine?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06And because you went first, if you get this right,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08you'll have knocked Dave out, you'll be in the final.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Alfie, OK.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14I don't think it's Tony Richardson. I don't think it's his kind of...
0:22:14 > 0:22:17He directed Charge Of The Light Brigade, I think,
0:22:17 > 0:22:18and things like that.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23I think I am going to risk Lewis Gilbert.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Risk it in the sense that you...
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Well, because I'm not sure who he is, but I don't think Alfie
0:22:28 > 0:22:31was in the style of John Schlesinger or Tony Richardson.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Lewis Gilbert it is. Sorry, Dave. - That's lucky.- They are playing well.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36They had some rough games
0:22:36 > 0:22:38a while back, but they are back on track.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Judith, you are in the final round. Dave, you have been knocked out.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44It is going to be a lonely rat in the final, I'm afraid,
0:22:44 > 0:22:48from the circus, but he can still win. Do come back to us.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Rejoin your teams and we will play that final round.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55It is time for the final round,
0:22:55 > 0:22:57which as always is General Knowledge, but I'm afraid
0:22:57 > 0:23:00those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:00 > 0:23:02won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06So, Dave, Barry, Matt and Sunny from the Fabulous Rat Circus,
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I do have to ask you to leave the studio.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Well, Phil, you are playing to win the Fabulous Rat Circus £7,000.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Chris, Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin, you are playing for something
0:23:19 > 0:23:22that money cannot buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27This time the questions are all General Knowledge
0:23:27 > 0:23:29and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32So, Phil, the question is, is your one brain
0:23:32 > 0:23:34better than the Eggheads' five?
0:23:34 > 0:23:35And would you like to go first or second?
0:23:35 > 0:23:39You could ask one of the questions and then I'll tell you.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42I would like to go...first, please.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Here we go with your first question. Good luck.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Who replaced Jeremy Hunt as Culture Secretary in the September
0:23:51 > 0:23:532012 Cabinet reshuffle?
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Erm...Baroness Warsi isn't really shouting out to me.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I think I would've heard that name on the telly a few times.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10If I was paying attention, I suppose, would have helped.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13I don't know Maria Miller. Politics is obviously not my thing,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15so I am going to have to go Theresa May
0:24:15 > 0:24:17because I have heard that name a few times.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Well, Theresa May is certainly high profile, that's for sure,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23but the answer is Maria Miller.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Culture Secretary. OK, Eggheads, your question.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Who took over as presenter of Radio 1's Official Chart Show
0:24:30 > 0:24:32in January 2013?
0:24:39 > 0:24:46- Jameela Jamil rings a distant bell. - I have no idea.- No idea.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49I think is she the first... I read something about her.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- If you've got an inkling... - It's only an inkling.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Can we have the question again, Jeremy?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Who took over as presenter of Radio 1's Official Chart Show
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- in January 2013? - It's not Fearne Cotton.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- She rings a distant bell. - It's definitely not Fearne Cotton.
0:25:03 > 0:25:11- I think it's Jameela Jamil.- OK. - Just a faint idea.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Yeah, that's Jameela Jamil, Jeremy.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Let's see if Phil knows. Do you?
0:25:16 > 0:25:20- I would have said Jameela Jamil as well.- Jameela Jamil is correct.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Well done, Pat. Just dredged that out of somewhere.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26They still haven't got a question wrong. Here we are, Phil.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31Which musician and singer was born John Mellor in 1952?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- John Mellor?- John Mellor.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44I read a fair bit about Joe Strummer recently.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48I know Joe Strummer wasn't necessarily his actual name.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Not quite sure who Jim Kerr is, and obviously
0:25:53 > 0:25:57I know who Jools Holland is from his late show.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02I'm going to say Joe Strummer.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04I'm glad you did. You're right.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08It is Joe Strummer. Jim Kerr is Simple Minds.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Joe Strummer.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13But I am guessing that Jim Kerr and Jools Holland,
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- those are their real names probably? - I think so.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Strummer is obviously a made-up name. Yes. OK, well done, Phil.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23So let's see what the Eggheads do now.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25In the Dan Dare stories,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28the Mekon is the leader of which race of aliens?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Treens.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- Treens.- He is the leader of the Treens, Jeremy.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40The Mekon is the leader of the Treens. You are right.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44It's just the fact that they all know it that is so annoying.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- I know, they all looked at each other.- OK.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50You need to get this right because you got the first question wrong.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Get this right, still to play for.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Get it wrong and the contest is over.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58One of the world's oldest family businesses,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01the Torrini family of Florence, are known for making what?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Torrini does not strike me as a perfume thing.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Not sure of the background of violins,
0:27:17 > 0:27:22but I also think I might recognise if it was jewellery,
0:27:22 > 0:27:27but again it is not my big thing, this kind of subject.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31So, I am going to have to say violins.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Let's see if the Eggheads know. Is violins right?
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Tell us it's right, Eggheads.- I don't think violins is right.- No.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39I'd probably go for jewellery.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43There may be one of those jewellery shops on the bridge over the Arno.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Jewellery is the answer. Sorry, Phil.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49We have to say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Bad luck. Very hard when you are on your own.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58No question, they all cheering you on back there
0:27:58 > 0:28:02but when you are on your own, it is not easy. So we say commiserations.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- Thank you. - The Eggheads played very well.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Did you get one wrong in that whole game?
0:28:07 > 0:28:09I don't think they did and that makes it really tricky.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11So they have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13their winning streak continues.
