0:00:04 > 0:00:07These 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.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads,
0:00:32 > 0:00:35and challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are the Easton Cowboys. This team of friends
0:00:38 > 0:00:41all play for the same cricket team,
0:00:41 > 0:00:45which is part of the Easton Cowboys sports and social club in Bristol.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46So let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Neil, 45, and I'm a senior support worker.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Reg, I'm 51, and I'm an area sales manager.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Mark, I'm 51, and I'm a software technician.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Justin, I'm 47, and I'm a medicinal herbalist.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Martin, I'm 51 and I'm an advice and guidance worker.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- So, Neil and team, welcome. - Thank you.- Good to see you.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- So you play cricket together? - We do, yes. Yes.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18The Cowboys, there's a range of sports that we put on -
0:01:18 > 0:01:22football, cricket, netball, that sort of thing. It's been going 20 years.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25We had a lovely tournament last year to celebrate that.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- And quiz together at all or not?- No. - This is the first time.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Only on the train coming up.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34I always wonder if you do very fast revision for this programme,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36how do you actually do that?
0:01:36 > 0:01:37You bring out a map of the world and all
0:01:37 > 0:01:40the films of Steven Spielberg or something like that?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42The Bumper Quiz Book.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44The Bumper Pub Quiz Book we had on the train on the way up.
0:01:44 > 0:01:50- Was that successful?- It passed the time.- I don't know what's in there.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Any of you guys got The Bumper Quiz Book?- I've got that book, yes.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55You probably wrote it!
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Barry used to be the person, when you text one of those phone numbers
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- to answer any question, you were on the other end.- That's right.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- We found out a lot of stuff about Barry recently, yeah.- There we are.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- All good, I'm sure.- Yeah.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Everyday, there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challenges,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19So, Easton Cowboys, the Eggheads have won the last seven games,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22which means £8,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Wish you all the best.- Thank you.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Who would like this?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31ALL: It's Mark.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35OK, Mark, in the middle, against, you can choose any one of them.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Any weaknesses? You could try Pat or Dave.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42All right, I'll try Pat, I think.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45So, Mark from the Easton Cowboys versus Pat from the Eggheads,
0:02:45 > 0:02:47to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49please take your positions in our Question Room.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Mark, would you like to go first or second?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I think I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Here we go. Good luck.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Spanish Guinea was the name of a Spanish colony on which continent?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12It doesn't sound North American to me.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Nor really does it sound very Asian to me,
0:03:15 > 0:03:19so I think I'm tempted by Africa.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Yeah, I'll go Africa.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Africa is the right answer.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Pat, your question. In which country is Shannon Airport located?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32EGGHEADS CHUCKLE
0:03:36 > 0:03:38This was a big government initiative
0:03:38 > 0:03:41in the early days of the Irish Republic,
0:03:41 > 0:03:44and the location of the first ever duty-free shop,
0:03:44 > 0:03:47and it's in County Clare in the Republic of Ireland.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Republic of Ireland is right.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53OK, Mark, over to you.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Which of the emirates that comprise the United Arab Emirates
0:03:57 > 0:03:59has the largest area?
0:04:03 > 0:04:04The largest area.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I certainly don't know which has the largest area.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I think of Dubai mainly as a city rather than an area,
0:04:12 > 0:04:17so I'll dismiss that one. I don't know, but I'll go Abu Dhabi.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Abu Dhabi is the right answer. Playing well, Mark.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24OK, let's see what Pat can do.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Pat, if backing is an anticlockwise change of direction made by a wind,
0:04:28 > 0:04:33what is the equivalent term for a clockwise change of direction?
0:04:38 > 0:04:39I'm not sure.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45My first preference is veering, but I'm not sure.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Neaping, neap tides, and fulling.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I think it should be veering.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54I'll go with veering.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Veering is correct. Well done.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01OK, Mark, your question - he's running you close, isn't he?
0:05:01 > 0:05:02It's never easy.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06The Leeuwin Current is an ocean current that travels
0:05:06 > 0:05:09southwards along the western coast of which country?
0:05:12 > 0:05:16I'll spell it for you. L-E-E-U-W-I-N.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Well, I certainly don't know.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24So how can I reason it through?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I don't know if it would be Spain. That doesn't sound very likely to me.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30It could be the USA or Australia.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I think I'd be more likely to have heard of it
0:05:34 > 0:05:37if it was USA, so I'm reasoning through to Australia.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39I'll go for that.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42You played very well. You're right. Australia it is. Three out of three.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46OK, so Pat under pressure now. Let's see how you deal with this.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50The inhabitants of Antwerp are known locally by what name?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Sinjoren has a faintly Hispanic side to it.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Even that's not that useful, because of the fact that
0:06:04 > 0:06:08the Spanish occupied a big chunk of the Low Countries for a long time,
0:06:08 > 0:06:13so it could have an idiosyncratic legacy from those years.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Hjerren would probably be "men" in Dutch.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23And Messjuren is sort of a French-flavoured word for men,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25but again, the French are not that far away.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Antwerp is in the Flanders part of Belgium,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32so it's Flemish or Dutch-speaking.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37So Hjerren would be the fairly obvious one.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41I'm not sure that's correct. Really don't know what to do here.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47No, it's going to be a complete guess. I'll go for Messjuren.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48A complete guess.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50They're all similar. And this is wrong.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Sinjoren is the right answer, so, Mark, well done,
0:06:52 > 0:06:55you're in the final round. You played very well there.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Pat has been knocked out. Congratulations, Mark.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Please, both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04That was very well done, Mark,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07not least because we've just been looking at how many times
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Pat has lost on Geography, and we think it's only twice before,
0:07:11 > 0:07:14to non-celebrities, if you don't mind me saying that.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17We had Sir Matthew Pinsent beat you on Geography, did he?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- Yes, he did.- I think.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23And nobody has ever beaten Pat before on Geography where
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- the first question has been about Shannon Airport.- Yes, indeed!
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- I tried not to groan loudly when it happened.- Well done.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32It's a good omen for the Easton Cowboys,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35because they have not lost a brain and the Eggheads have.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37There we go, what's going to happen?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41The next subject is Film & Television.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- I think that's going to be me, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Yeah, it's me.- Reg, OK.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- Which Egghead, Reg?- I think Judith.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- Are you happy with that? - Yes, I'm happy with that.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Can I play Judith, please?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Reg from the Easton Cowboys against Judith.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58To make sure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Film & Television and, Reg, would you like to go first or second?
0:08:02 > 0:08:03I'll go first, please.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Here we go with your first question. Good luck.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Who is the star of the 2002 film comedy Sweet Home Alabama?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Oh, that's one about somebody going back
0:08:21 > 0:08:24to their roots in south of America, isn't it?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28So I think it might be a bit lowbrow for Meryl Streep,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31and I'm pretty sure it's not Jennifer Lawrence.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I'd say probably Reese Witherspoon.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Reese Witherspoon is correct.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Judith, your question.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Which 1979 film features cameos from Bob Hope, Steve Martin,
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Orson Welles and Richard Pryor, among others?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Well, it's not The Deer Hunter.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Perhaps it's The Muppet Movie.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00I think it might be The Muppet Movie.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I'm assuming you probably haven't watched that regularly.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I used to love the Muppets,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10but I don't think I've ever seen a film of the Muppets.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11They used to send up celebrities,
0:09:11 > 0:09:13and these were some of the ones in the film.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15You are right. The Muppet Movie.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21OK, Reg, what is the surname of the Liverpool-born acting brothers
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Joe, Paul, Mark and Stephen?
0:09:26 > 0:09:31Now, one of them played Doctor Who, didn't he? In the TV special.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33And in fact, I believe he even lives in Bristol,
0:09:33 > 0:09:36so I think that's going to be the McGann brothers.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38McGann is the right answer. Well done.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41It makes up for the Shannon incident,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44as we shall now describe it. Judith, your question.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49Who wrote and directed the 2013 BBC drama Dancing On The Edge?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57That was Stephen Poliakoff.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Stephen Poliakoff is correct.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- You're playing well, Judith. - Thank you very much.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- In matching green.- Thank you.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07OK, your question, Reg,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10who played Pope Julius II alongside Charlton Heston's Michelangelo
0:10:10 > 0:10:14in the 1965 film The Agony And The Ecstasy?
0:10:19 > 0:10:24Oh, that's hard! Pretty sure it's not Alec Guinness.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28When it came up, I immediately thought Rex Harrison,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30so I'm going to go with that. Rex Harrison.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Really good play. Rex Harrison is correct.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37OK, Judith, your question to stay in the round.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40You're on the edge of oblivion.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- On the edge of becoming a Muppet. - Thanks!
0:10:43 > 0:10:47In the classic animated children's TV series Noggin The Nog,
0:10:47 > 0:10:53what relation was the villainous Nogbad The Bad to Noggin?
0:10:56 > 0:11:02I've absolutely no idea. But uncles are very often villains.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05So I'm going to try uncle.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Nogbad The Bad was the uncle of Noggin. You got it right.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11So three points each.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13They are playing well.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Just see if you can dislodge her here, Reg.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17We go to Sudden Death, it gets a bit harder.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I don't give you alternatives. OK?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Which actor, born in Northern Ireland in 1952
0:11:22 > 0:11:25starred in the action films Taken and The A-Team?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29I think that might have been Liam Neeson.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Liam Neeson is correct.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Well done. Bit of an advantage.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Sudden Death, we're on. Judith, back to you.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40Which actress did Alec Baldwin married in 1993?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I have absolutely no idea.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46I can't even think of a suitable possible one.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Presumably, he's divorced her since.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I don't know. Don't know.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Anything?
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Reese Witherspoon.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03It's Kim Basinger.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Still wouldn't have known.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07So, well done, Reg. You got it.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09You've taken the round. Nicely done.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12You'll be in the final, Reg, and Judith will not be.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Please, both of you, rejoin your team-mates.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20The Easton Cowboys are doing very well. I would almost say yee-ha!
0:12:20 > 0:12:25You have got two out of two so far. Not many games start like this.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28You've done very well. You need to keep the pressure up.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30You've so far got rid of Pat and Judith.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Let's see what happens next. It's History.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- That will have to be me. - I think so.- Martin. OK.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Which Egghead, Martin, would you like to play?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Which Egghead should I go for, guys?- Dave?- I think Tremendous...
0:12:45 > 0:12:49They just called you Tremendous, now, Dave. How about that?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51"I think Tremendous!"
0:12:51 > 0:12:53He has been on the show so long.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Martin from the Easton Cowboys
0:12:55 > 0:12:57versus Dave from the Eggheads on History,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59and please go to the Question Room.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03History it is. You are up against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Here we go. What was the more common name of
0:13:11 > 0:13:13the Unification Or Death movement
0:13:13 > 0:13:17that was behind the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914?
0:13:21 > 0:13:26I think that was the Black Hand. I'm fairly certain about that.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28It was the Black Hand.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Yeah, you're right. Well done. The Black Hand.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Dave, the Glienicke Bridge where America and the Soviet Union
0:13:38 > 0:13:42traded spies during the Cold War is on the edge of which city?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48I'll go for Berlin.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Absolutely right. Berlin.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Which activist was assassinated in the Audubon Ballroom
0:13:55 > 0:13:59in New York City in February 1965?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I don't know. I'm fairly certain it wasn't Martin Luther King.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Harvey Milk, I know, I think he was the mayor.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12I'm going to go with Malcolm X.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Malcolm X is correct.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20OK, your question, Dave.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24In 1964, Nyasaland, which is now Malawi,
0:14:24 > 0:14:27gained full independence from which country?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32I believe it's the United Kingdom.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37Yep, it was one of ours, you're right. The UK is the answer.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Two points each. Both playing well. Martin, back to you.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45UK households required a radio licence and a television licence
0:14:45 > 0:14:49until the radio licence was abolished in which year?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Well, I'm fairly certain it wasn't '71.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I'm going to say '55.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Anyone here know?- I think it's '71.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Dave is right, Tremendous Knowledge has got it,
0:15:10 > 0:15:131971 is the answer. '71.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15So that means, Dave, if you get this one right,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18you're in the final round.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Eleanor of Castile was the first wife of which King of England?
0:15:27 > 0:15:33I'm going to go for - you'll gasp now, I think -
0:15:33 > 0:15:37I should know this straightaway. I'll go for Richard II.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40It's Edward III, isn't it?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42No, it's neither, it's Edward I.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- Edward I, sorry.- So, Martin, we go to Sudden Death now.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Anne Neville was the wife of which King of England?
0:15:53 > 0:15:59William...William II.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01It's a guess.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03It's not William. It's Richard III.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05It's the one everyone was talking about a while back.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07An amazing story.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Tremendous Knowledge Dave, in 1766,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13William Pitt the Elder was elevated to the peerage
0:16:13 > 0:16:16with the title Earl of where?
0:16:16 > 0:16:21I know what I want to go for, but I thought it was Pitt the Younger.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Earl of Chatham.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Earl of Chatham is the right answer.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26Well done, Dave, you've taken the round.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28A bit of a fightback by the Eggheads,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31but you have put in a good performance there, Martin.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Sorry, he's knocked you out.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Please, both of you rejoin your teams.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39So, as it stands, the Easton Cowboys have lost one brain
0:16:39 > 0:16:42from the final round while the Eggheads have lost two.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44The next subject is Sport.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Who wants this?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49It's got to be you.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- I will take that, thank you. - Neil. Against which Egghead?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54If you're feeling adventurous, Kevin.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57If you're feeling conservative, go for Barry.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04- Let's try and get Kevin out of it. - Well done.- Serious play here.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Neil from the Easton Cowboys versus Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09please go to our Question Room.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Sport - Neil, would you like to go first or second?
0:17:13 > 0:17:14I will go first, please, Jeremy.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Here we go. Good luck.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23Sergio Parisse say has captained which Six Nations rugby union team?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29OK. It doesn't sound the most Scottish or Welsh name,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32or Italian, really, for that matter.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35I'm going to go for Italy, just because I haven't heard of him
0:17:35 > 0:17:39and I would have thought I would have if he was Scottish or Welsh.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Italy is the right answer.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Kevin, in which sport is a participant
0:17:46 > 0:17:48most likely to bob and weave?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- To bob and weave.- Bob and weave.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56Yes, I suppose, technically,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59you could have a go at that with volleyball and darts,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02but it's most likely trying to avoid blows in boxing.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Boxing is the right answer. OK, back to you, Neil.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11Tony Gubba is most associated with commentating on which sport?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Well, I'm going to go for...
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I'm going to go for football.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Football is correct. Well done.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Kevin, the major-league baseball team known as the Orioles
0:18:27 > 0:18:28is based in which US city?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Well, it's the Baltimore Orioles.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Baltimore is the right answer.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Cracking along here, two each. Back to you, Neil.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44What is the name of the governing body of horseracing in France?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53OK, I don't know this one.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56I would have said it's probably got the word "France" in it,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58so that hasn't helped much.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03Um...Galop sounds too obvious.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I'm going to go for Hippodrome.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10It's actually Galop!
0:19:10 > 0:19:12It really is France Galop.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15That's two out of three. Let's see whether Kevin
0:19:15 > 0:19:17can take his place in the final with this question.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22Miga, Quatchi and Sumi were the mascots for which
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games?
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Those words just sound to me more like they might come from somewhere
0:19:35 > 0:19:41up near the north-west coast of North America. British Columbia.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48Miga, Quatchi and Sumi. I'll go for Vancouver.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- Is he right, Eggheads?- Yes.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Yep, you're right, Kevin. Vancouver 2010, it is.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Three out of three. Sorry, Neil.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- Ouch.- That can happen with Kevin.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Pulling themselves back into the race a bit here, aren't they?
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Let's see what happens in the final.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05If you come back to us, we'll play it.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08This is what we have been playing towards.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11It is time for the final round, which, as always,
0:20:11 > 0:20:12is General Knowledge.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:20:15 > 0:20:18allowed to take part in this round, so, Neil and Martin,
0:20:18 > 0:20:22from the Easton Cowboys, and Pat and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:25 > 0:20:27So here we go. Reg, Mark and Justin,
0:20:27 > 0:20:31you are playing to win the Easton Cowboys £8,000.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Barry, Kevin and Dave, you're playing for something that
0:20:34 > 0:20:37money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. This time
0:20:40 > 0:20:42the questions are all General Knowledge,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44and you are allowed to confer.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Easton Cowboys, the question is,
0:20:46 > 0:20:50are your three brains now able to defeat the Eggheads' three?
0:20:50 > 0:20:54And you've had a very good game so far. So let's see what happens.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- Do you want to go first or second? - First, please, Jeremy.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Here we go with your first question.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Which BBC radio station was threatened with closure in 2010,
0:21:05 > 0:21:09leading to protests from listeners and musicians?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- I think it was 6 Music. - Definitely 6 Music.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- Because they keep talking about it. - Definitely 6 Music.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- They would never threaten Radio 1, surely?- No.- Or Radio 3.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23If you think about it. We're going to go for 6 Music.
0:21:23 > 0:21:256 Music is the right answer.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29I work in the same building as the brilliant staff of 6.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32And they are much cooler than 2, that's for sure.
0:21:32 > 0:21:38OK, Eggheads, how many faces does a decahedron have?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44THEY MUMBLE TO EACH OTHER
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Deca is the prefix that means 10, so we'll go for 10.
0:21:48 > 0:21:5110 is the right answer. Right, so one each.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56Back to you, Easton Cowboys. Saddle up. Here we go.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00A misericord is a ledge on the underside of a seat
0:22:00 > 0:22:02in what type of establishment?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Having done Medieval Studies at university,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10I ought to know that, really. It's a church.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13I'd go with that. Church. We'll go for church, please.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15They're the little ledgy seats in the choir bit
0:22:15 > 0:22:18and there's carvings underneath them and they tip up.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21You are absolutely right. Well done. Church it is.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Good play here. OK, next one.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Eggheads, in Morse Code, which punctuation mark is represented
0:22:27 > 0:22:33by two dots followed by two dashes followed by another two dots?
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Don't know this, but I'm sure a full stop is more common,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44so that would be a shorter code than six.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Ampersand is a mixture of two signs, isn't it?
0:22:47 > 0:22:51So I'm wondering if two dots, two dashes, two dots could be ampersand.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53There might be some logic to that.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- The question mark I think is just a unique sign.- Yeah.- Is it?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- I think so.- Right. OK.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- I don't know my Morse Code. - I don't know my Morse Code at all.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05It's a long time since I looked at it.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Just on the basis of how ampersand is constructed,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11I'm inclined to go for that, unless anybody disagrees.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14No, I haven't got anything to go on.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- OK.- Go with that.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18We don't know the answer to this one,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20but we think that a full stop,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23because it's probably the more common of all those punctuation marks,
0:23:23 > 0:23:27would perhaps be a simpler thing in Morse Code,
0:23:27 > 0:23:32and because an ampersand is generally a mixture of two signs
0:23:32 > 0:23:34we think that might be the longest one,
0:23:34 > 0:23:36so we'll go for ampersand.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Where would you use an ampersand, for example,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41in a message from a ship?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I'm sure... Good question.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- It's not the right answer. - Of course.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50It's question mark, Eggheads.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53We missed the obvious point. Yeah.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Question mark is the answer.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58OK, well, that's interesting, you get this one right,
0:23:58 > 0:24:02you've taken the contest. £8,000 on the table. Just get this one right.
0:24:02 > 0:24:08The cuneus is a wedge-shaped part of which organ in the human body?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Can you spell that, please? - C-U-N-E-U-S.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Of all them, the one that appeals to me is liver.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22I don't really know why, to be perfectly honest, which is
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- not much help.- Wow, that's hard. Any other thoughts on that?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29My inclination is to say brain, but then...
0:24:31 > 0:24:33I could be wrong. I don't recognise it.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36All I recognise is the shape, it's wedge-shaped.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Think about where it's going to be.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43The bottom of the heart is wedge-shaped. The liver...
0:24:43 > 0:24:47I think if it was the heart, we would have heard that by now.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- I don't think heart.- I don't recognise it as part of the heart.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53I favour liver, but I don't honestly know why.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I say liver, because I think, if it was the other two,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- we would have heard of it. Captain? - Let's go liver.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01We'll go liver, Jeremy.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Your answer is liver.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06If you've got it right, the contest is yours, the money is yours.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09It's a bit like your ampersand one in a funny way.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12You've just gone the wrong way. You were close. It's brain.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13Oh, bums.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17It's brain. Mark, your instinct has served you very well so far.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Don't be disheartened. It is brain.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Let's see what the Eggheads can do here.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25It's very dangerous to give them a way back into the game.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Here is your question, your third question.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Which Prime Minister was nicknamed
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Baillie Vass by Private Eye magazine?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Alec Douglas-Home.- Is it?- Yeah.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41I'm pretty certain it was Alec Douglas-Home.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- It rings a bell.- Yeah.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45It's not Tony Blair.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Baillie Vass. OK.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Well, the only one of those prime ministers who is Scottish there,
0:25:50 > 0:25:53is Alec Douglas-Home, and I do recall reading Private Eye
0:25:53 > 0:25:56and they called him Baillie Vass, so that's our answer, Alec Douglas-Home.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00You're right. Alec Douglas-Home it is.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Back on track, Eggheads. Well done.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06So, you're equal after three questions.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09You've both got one wrong. We go to Sudden Death.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13It's never going to be easy, is it? It's the way it goes.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16The Mystic River which gave its name to an Oscar-winning film
0:26:16 > 0:26:19flows into the harbour of which major American city?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22East Coast. I'm inclined to think Baltimore.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24But if anyone else has got a better idea...
0:26:24 > 0:26:26I haven't even got a suggestion to make.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I think you're not far off, actually.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33The Mystic River which gave its name to an Oscar-winning film
0:26:33 > 0:26:35flows into the harbour of which major American city?
0:26:35 > 0:26:39I'm not convinced it's Baltimore. I think it's further north.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- What are you thinking? Boston? - No, not as big as that.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47That sort of area, though.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52I have to abstain. I haven't even got a feeling.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55What you think, Reg? Otherwise, we'll go with Baltimore.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59I'm sure it's further north than that, but no, go with it.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- I can't think. - OK, we'll go with Baltimore.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Baltimore is your answer. Let's see the Eggheads know.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- Boston.- Boston!- Is it?
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- It's not, is it?- Yeah, Boston. - Damn it.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14You haven't lost yet.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19If you do get this answer, Eggheads, the contest is over.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Which geological period is named after mountains
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- on the Switzerland-France border? - ALL:- Jurassic.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Shall I run through them all?
0:27:28 > 0:27:31It's Jurassic.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36THEY CONFER
0:27:36 > 0:27:39It was named after the Jura Mountains
0:27:39 > 0:27:43and the period is the Jurassic period.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45The correct answer is Jurassic.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55You were saying at the start, you don't quiz together -
0:27:55 > 0:27:59you've done brilliantly for a non-quiz team. Really brilliantly.
0:27:59 > 0:28:05- Put the cuneus out of your minds. - How about Boston? Can be put that out of our minds?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Commiserations, Easton Cowboys.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10The Eggheads have done what comes naturally,
0:28:10 > 0:28:11and their winning streak continues.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14They've had some exciting games lately, as well.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16It means you won't be going home with the £8,000.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20So the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Eggheads, very well done, who will beat you?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:25 > 0:28:27have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31£9,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
